You're technically right: it means 'everything up to', so not a full guarantee but the next best thing. In usage it means 'a guarantee in all but name'.

No, it's saying if he cared about money he would be more likely to make a sequel. Him caring about money would all but guarantee a sequel.

I beg you to reconsider

That's an interesting distinction for something that would otherwise require an artist.

Towel complains when used, would avoid this brand in future.

moodboarding, design concepting, D&D scene setting/ npc portraits, making stupid images of friends that would used to mean 40 minutes of photoshop (and not everyone knows how to photoshop)

No-one would bother to pay an artist for any if that, you would either copy images from the internet, do without, or try to do it yourself. AI has just massively lowered the skill barrier for doing it yourself.

The point is that there is a niche that isn't covered by commercial artists that AI image generation fills quite nicely, and complaining about it is like complaining that you no longer phone the operator to connect your telephone calls.

All film is going to be expensive, especially instant developing cameras because of the extra technology in both the film and camera.

You can save money by going black/white or by getting a normal film camera. The film market is picking up at the moment so there are more options available if you look around, but 90% of film is still made by about 2 companies.

I would suggest a half frame camera because that will double the number of pictures you can take per roll of film and if they're only going to be small you won't notice any quality drop.

I really thought this was her process for making ramen and I got very confused.
