Nintendo about to have a field day with OpenAI. Maybe they can sue OpenAI out of existence.

The Japanese government has made a formal request asking OpenAI to refrain from copyright infringement. This comes as a response to Sora 2’s ability to generate videos featuring the likenesses of copyrighted characters from anime and video games.

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

Lol. People might think the service was downgraded by removing the plus sign.

Fun story from #NYCC. During Matt Stover's first signing we had a massive line. A reader brought with him 14 Stover books to get signed.

This reader knew he would take awhile so he asked if he could be LAST in line so as not to delay his fellow readers in meeting Matt. (1/3)

Are there any articles/videos with interviews of the devs who worked on those Kemco RPGs, where there was like a new one every week?

The amount of betting ads (including non-sports) is insane. I get them all the time on Twitch and YouTube.

Carl T. Bergstrom @carlbergstrom.com · 3d

Am I just being a Puritan?

I think it’s bad enough that the MLB allows betting advertising in between innings, but putting up an ad with the betting line or whatever in a graphic on screen during play?

Given the prevalence of problem gambling it’s IMO inexcusable.

That green base wasn't the only color that ended up looking washed out in the final design

Fighting-Games Daily @fgcdaily.bsky.social · 4d

🎨Bayonetta's character designer, Mari Shimazaki made Miary Zo's Costume 03!

“The combination of a green base with red accents was inspired by the Madagascar flag, and from an early stage onwards, a white inner layer was incorporated to highlight Miariz's dark skin.”

Quick search shows that people have been asking about this game as recently as 2 years ago. Apparently there was a handful of players still playing the game (less than 50 players).

Mike Murray @mikeadmurray.blacksky.app · 3d

Nice to see one of my favourite PS3 games on there (Warhawk).

I wonder how active it is, though?
