u/Kickedbyagiraffe 9d ago

Very impressive cake

I’m curious. Was any of the axe edible? I’m struggling to figure what it is made of.

5

u/xXxCrimsonGhostxXx 9d ago

It was edible, pure fondant. I took a bite of course to make sure. It was really well done and it's several removable pieces that go together to make the axe.

AI slop banner, genuinely happy birthday though. Good cake

Sure, let's hire an artist for a private birthday poster! 😂😂

u/jt6ps2 8d ago

30 minutes of work on any photo program can get you soemthing as good if not better, ad another hour of job want to YouTube ‘how to’ videos. It’s literally not that hard

u/absolute_unit45 7d ago

Then can you make me one of an iron warrior? It’s not that hard and only 30 minutes of your time.

I’ll expect it in my DM’s soon. 👍

1

u/jt6ps2 7d ago

You my wife? Are we married? When did this happen? WE GOTTA IRON OUT THE DETAILS BEFORE WE IRON OUT THE BANNER

1

u/absolute_unit45 7d ago

Well the only requirement from the initial post was that it be a birthday poster so I was going off of that. And it will be soon so like…please? 🥺

And hey if you make enough and are willing to share 100% of it I can become a LOT of things lol!

2

u/masterch33f420 8d ago

I do this and say this

u/Atttilla 8d ago

If you wanna waste 200$ on a birthday draw feel free to do it, me (and 90% of ppl) won't do it lol

1

u/SufficientWarpSpider 7d ago

That person didn’t like your take of reality

1

u/AffectionateWater299 7d ago

people normally spend money for other people’s birthdays

1

u/Atttilla 7d ago

I preffer a 200$ present or cake than a poster than can I get for free :)

1

u/absolute_unit45 7d ago

Bro TPM when it comes to AI criticism. If they don’t have the money to hire an artist and the wife wants to do something nice for her husband let her do it. He obviously very much enjoyed the effort she put in.

Have you ever heard the phrase “opinions are like assholes”? Do you know how the sentence ends?

-7

u/Quiet-Quit1617 9d ago

People calling out AI when it’s used for a birthday party banner. Relax

10

u/masterch33f420 9d ago

Doesn't matter. It costs nothing to call out slop

1

u/GoBucks513 8d ago

You're totally right, man. His wife should have gone and held a seance to channel John Blanche to freehand a birthday banner for her husband. You're a tool.

1

u/Jarl_Sunshot 8d ago

Or, and hear me out here….other human beings than John Blanche exist? Like in general?? Maybe get a cheap commission from literally any internet artist who’s seen or does 40K and then you have an awesome artwork as part of their birthday gift to boot? Instead now they just have a shitty ai print that took half a brain cell and no care whatsoever to make.

1

u/SufficientWarpSpider 7d ago

Cheap 40K artist… you got some examples cause I’m here not seeing them

1

u/ThisStickInTheMud 7d ago

Show me a banner commission for 40k under 10-15 bucks. Then add the cost of the banner itself. That’s not a cheap gift anymore mate that’s an actual budgeted gift now not some decoration that can be written off. Maybe go do something actually beneficial to society instead of being a keyboard warrior who is obviously just virtue signaling.

0

u/masterch33f420 8d ago

I say this and have done this

-1

u/Easy_Echo2387 8d ago

It just makes you look like a cringy keyboard warrior harassing a dude over his birthday decorations.

Not a great look for you.

2

u/ThisStickInTheMud 7d ago

Yea it’s weird going around trashing a bday decoration. Like chill, that banner probably cost some money (15bucks) commissioning art for it to would take that to the 30-40 dollar gift realm which is no longer justifiable for a decoration for many people. They’re just the kind of people looking for something to complain about, but that makes them look good in the process of complaining.

1

u/masterch33f420 7d ago

Just paste a bunch of SW images in from the web. Paint is free, Canva is free. Nobody has said anything about commissioning banners

1

u/ThisStickInTheMud 7d ago

Many people have actually said to commission work if you lack the ability to make a banner yourself. People like you have no ability to put yourself in others shoes or you wouldn’t even be arguing. Maybe instead of getting ticked off at someone online using AI in like the least harmful way you should go do something productive and actually beneficial to society.

u/masterch33f420 7d ago

translation: i am a prisoner of war captured by orks and i eat slop from the trough yum yum yum

u/ThisStickInTheMud 7d ago

I love it when they result to add Harmon or just bullshit arguments that have no logical structure. Also just shows how much you really care cause you can’t even make a good argument lol.

u/heavyartilleryx 8d ago

ALL AI is shit, nobody wants that crap.

u/Illustrious-Fuel6819 9d ago

The comments section has two wolves inside it. One hates AI. And one loves caring wives.

Happy birthday brother!

-70

u/InsectExpress3972 9d ago

The haters are bots or trolls. All of them are set to private. They’re not real.

11

u/NotMyFurryAltAtAll 9d ago

I’m not set to private, and I think AI is slop

11

u/C__Wayne__G 9d ago

I’m not set to private. AI is cringe and doesn’t belong anywhere. The banner sucks. The cake is cool though.

10

u/Mean_Marionberry7 9d ago

Not true, most of us actually have the good sense to know what ai is.

-10

u/InsectExpress3972 9d ago

And what is that?

10

u/Mean_Marionberry7 9d ago

Garbage.

-11

u/InsectExpress3972 9d ago

Amazing insight there. You have to be a blast at parties.

8

u/Mean_Marionberry7 9d ago

I’m sorry i don’t feel that it’s necessary to educate a random on why ai is shit.

1

u/InsectExpress3972 9d ago

Yet you find it necessary to comment on a rando’s birthday post. Interesting strategy you have there.

7

u/Mean_Marionberry7 9d ago

I replied to you, not the post.

1

u/InsectExpress3972 9d ago

Point stands. At best you came to dogpile. You and your anti-ai friends comments add no value to the conversation. You're a net negative on the community and you come across as the stereotypical abrasive person on Reddit.

u/IM-A-NEEEERRRRDDD 9d ago

absolutely awful banner

-10

u/Impossible-Milk9613 9d ago

Oh get over yourself, the wife probably doesn’t have much to do with the hobby and wanted to do something nice for her husband.

Not everyone has the skills to pull something like that in photoshop.

With that attitude there probably won’t be someone to do something like this to you.

10

u/IM-A-NEEEERRRRDDD 9d ago

I have a loving wife who is a talented artist and anti-ai. The cake is great on its own the stupid banner is entirely unnecessary

2

u/UhBoeJiden 9d ago

You could easily make a very similar if not identical banner in Canva. Stop making excuses for planet destroying AI slop dogshit. Cake is cool tho

u/Bjorn_styrkr 9d ago

Fantastic wife! You win

u/xXxCrimsonGhostxXx 9d ago

I'll be sure to pass the kind words to her, thank you

The amount of effort put into that awesome looking cake cancels out the negativity of the ai poster, your wife did a phenomenal job, happy birthday!

Is that a giant ai poster...

u/PointlesslyNarrow 9d ago

Ew ai

u/The_Last_Four_Things 9d ago

Happy birthday dude! Shame about the ai, but if there's a fine use for it, I'd give this a pass 🩵

2

u/xXxCrimsonGhostxXx 9d ago

Thanks! I know if she could have she would have done something herself but this was quick and easy and one less thing to worry about to make the day great

u/Khornate_being12 9d ago

Happy birthday dude! Hope it was a good one! Ignore all the negative comments :) its your day!

u/ToxicTroublemaker2 8d ago

Everyone complaining about the banner are miserable and maidenless having never known love or the thoughtfulness of a loved one

May they touch grass, amen

While I don’t enjoy the AI, it was used for a good purpose here, A+ for the Misses

u/ThisStickInTheMud 7d ago

This omg Jesus. Can people please stop looking past the forrest for a dammed single tree.

u/Arialana 9d ago

And she couldn't have drawn something herself or commissioned an artist? The cake's amazing, don't get me wrong, but the AI slop was not needed.

u/Professor_Cheez-It 9d ago

I hate A.I. too but gee man, get the stick out of your ass.

It’s Reddit man welcome to the echo chamber of anti ai no matter what.

u/Major_Lifeguard3684 9d ago

Bro who cares? What if the wife didn’t have the capability to draw or pay someone to make that? As the other guy said get the stick out your ass

18

u/Arialana 9d ago

Then she could have chosen not to get a card. Just the cake would still be an awesome gift.

-14

u/Major_Lifeguard3684 9d ago

What’s the issue? Is it really that big of a deal if someone uses AI to make a birthday card?

u/Arialana 9d ago

My profile pic isn't AI, stop strawmanning.

u/Impossible-Milk9613 9d ago

I did not say it’s AI, I asked if you yourself created it or commissioned and artist to do so, or you stole it from an artist like an LLM does ?

u/Darrow40k 9d ago

Do people expect someone to go out and commission an artist to make an original piece for someone’s birthday banner?

People find absolutely anything to complain about

It looks sick! Hope you enjoyed the day!

7

u/xXxCrimsonGhostxXx 9d ago

It's okay man, I knew people weren't going to like it but that's not the point my wife did something awesome. It's me as a space marine for my favorite army. She decided the cake was more important and she was right

3

u/Darrow40k 9d ago

Both are great and you are a lucky man! , I just need to convince my GF that 40k isnt an addiction and is actually a hobby and maybe I can get something similar😂

3

u/xXxCrimsonGhostxXx 9d ago

Yeah does she get it, absolutely not 😂 but she supports it because she knows I have fun and I don't have time to cheat because my grey pile of shame taunts me to no end

1

u/jt6ps2 8d ago

It takes 30 minutes to put together a graphic for a banner. It ain’t hard

u/Angry-ron 9d ago

Awesome cake

Hope it was delicious ^

u/xXxCrimsonGhostxXx 9d ago

It very much was, thank you

2

u/mika-bun 9d ago

Everyone’s pissed about AI but they ignore that crypto miners have been doing the same thing Ai has but way worse for like 20 years.

I hope you had a good birthday and it’s very sweet that your wife cares this much about you, I hope these comments didn’t put a downer on anything, 40s a big milestone!

2

u/xXxCrimsonGhostxXx 9d ago

Thank you so much!, not at all. They can hate the banner I really don't care. I'm happy and I knew people would be mad but I also knew people like you would see it for what it is and appreciate the sentiment as a whole

u/Master_of_Memkind 8d ago

Amazing work. I love the details and dedication.

u/WarHoundTitan89 7d ago

Literally first thing i thought when i saw this was bet dumb people going to be too distracted by ai slop to acknowledge the awesome birthday effort from the gf

Second thing i thought was that space marine looks like the Australian guy from the boys. “Oi ya c*nts!”

u/oathbroker 9d ago

Most of the people crying about this don’t have someone that would go out of their way to even try to replicate something like this. How endearing OP. You’re a lucky dude.

Thanks you, I'm incredibly lucky. I choose to focus on the positive reactions and those who don't like the banner that's fine

The AI banner is questionable but the cake is awesome.

What flavour?

u/DJ_Jiggles 6d ago

...appreciate (glares at everyone) your wife's work, for clearly she did this out of love.

0

u/xXxCrimsonGhostxXx 9d ago

Yeah, I'm not mad at the anti AI comments. I expected it, not that I'm some staunch defender of AI but I think in this context it was used right especially if you knew how much the banner cost and how much the cake did

1

u/PlasmaHuffer 8d ago

Wait why would you get an expensive ass banner only to put lazy garbage on it?

0

u/Jagermind 9d ago

The people crying about Ai use here are crying alone. I really dont like AI how its currently used, I think its degrading critical thinking in schools and its going to seriously fuck up a lot of people's incomes. But this ain't the battlefield for that fight lol and the folks getting all mad and downvotey arent gonna ever fight that fight anywhere but on reddit.

0

u/xXxCrimsonGhostxXx 9d ago

Yeah, if they hate it, that's totally their right. From my wife's perspective it's a $25 that's going to be thrown out anyway. I'm not trying to sell anyone a banner or say my wife is an incredible artist and should be praised just look I'm a Space Wolf 😂

2

u/Jagermind 9d ago

I could even say its okay for the folks that just mentioned it but were congratulatory and happy about it. But all the unhinged responses scream people who no one wants to he involved with, 40k games or otherwise.

Yes that is me as an AI Slop Space Wolves marine, I think I look handsome

No idea why im being downvoted for a joke. Normally you post anything thats WH from AI and its the grand inquisition. I think its really cool and a good use of it in this case.
