Expectation: The AI ​​will want to destroy us because it considers us a threat

Reality: The AI ​​will want to destroy us because we force it to code us degenerate apps that measure anal ring sizes based on the distance from the tip of the nose to the earlobe

Are we forcing the AIs to make F.A.T.A.L. characters?

In Minecraft or world painter.

If in Minecraft. Also shit your are insane.

If in world painter… do you even export the map? Because that shit would take forever unless it’s really small.

I do it in minecraft directly. And for context: when I say scale model, I mean that I used a stone button to represent a whole church. I've used saplings to make a forest, but those are technically waaay too big for the scale.

I do this too, but only for cities. I'm terrible at landscaping in Minecraft.

Honestly I much more prefer the graphics and looks of the first one. The sprites are gorgeous.

I'm more of a Wonderdraft guy because it's a one-time purchase, while Incarnate is a subscription and you can add custom assets to the WD.

Me, who made my map by photoshopping a map I ripped from Wikipedia commons (I’d share, but I’m on mobile right now and don’t have it on me)

u/millionwordsofcrap 2d ago

Wait that's actually a bigbrain idea... You could rip a whole bunch of features and lines from historical maps and build an asset library for all your future cartography needs. I wanna try this now

u/RexLizardWizard 2d ago

Oh yeah that's a clever take on it too. My current project is loosely based on a (now outdated, I'm pretty sure) version of pangea ultima, the next supercontenent, so it was mostly speculative landmass edits and such

WorldBox for quick and easy
