Since there's an influx of people, I will show art so that people know what they're getting into here

It's really solid, even if it's just the first two episodes (of eight)

Want to avoid AI gen on Steam? This browser userscript might save your day

With more and more game developers creating AI slop, or just using AI generation for stupid things in their games, we need more ways to avoid them.

If your company cannot hire any voice actors, don't put voice acting in your game.

This AI voice acting crap is bad.

Beyond disappointed to learn that Arc Raiders, like The Finals before it, uses AI voice acting.

So many iconic game voice work is little vendor greetings, and to farm that out to a machine is a hollow admission of a lack of care.

I know a thousand actors who would have done better for buttons.

Like, unfortunately with how Deus Ex is written, Sarif doesn't do *too* much evil, they specifically exist just to try to build custom augments for people who need them, so putting them against two fairly shitty companies is almost no contest

HoboScruff @hoboscruff.itch.io · 4d

Trying to think of the downsides of each:

Arasaka: congrats you've decided to become uber-poor/possibly get cyberpsychosis, depending on your mental state

Braytech: hope you enjoy getting reset every so often so you don't have a breakdown

Sarif: Aug rejection?

I would also avoid survival because it's ok at best (it's a strategy game that doesn't play very well into Digimon's standard vibe, imo), and if you'd like JRPGs where party evolution is entirely dependent on how you train, the Digimon World series can be pretty good as well

HoboScruff @hoboscruff.itch.io · 6d

minor update to this: I've basically beaten the game (doing the fuckton of side quests at the end) and yep, still fun.

I'm also seeing a ton of people getting in to Digimon now, which I'm happy about, I highly recommend Cyber Sleuth if you want something like Time Stranger, but cheaper

HoboScruff @hoboscruff.itch.io · 19d

Playing the new Digimon game (it's very good! I recommend it (so far) if you enjoyed Cyber Sleuth!) and the base costume keeps making me think of Kamen Rider and like... some VERY good classic anime outfits, so even though it's kinda goofy I'm here for it lol

the male MC from the new Digimon Game, Time Stranger, it is a white male with red-brown hair, googles, a green and white jacket, white pants, and a red scarf

literally the only reason I still have windows on my home PC is because of Windows locked shit, I'd MUCH rather be free from this shit show

HoboScruff @hoboscruff.itch.io · 6d

he saw the inspiration behind his name and went "yeah that's a cause I can get behind"

HoboScruff @hoboscruff.itch.io · 6d

some of the voices of NPCs are AI (they were back in the test as well but got a pass because "oh they'll replace it in the full game" but they didn't) and some of the stuff like posters and background material is AI gen

HoboScruff @hoboscruff.itch.io · 6d

I've been using Deezer for like... a month or so now and yeah honestly there's like no difference

HoboScruff @hoboscruff.itch.io · 6d

my fucking job has to update all our PCs to windows 11 due to this, and it's causing so many problems we're bumping up against overtime constantly.

like, we didn't have nearly this many issues having to work around COVID and setting up at home PCs for people, that's how awful this shit is.

Join me on my journey from "how am I a games guy who's intimidated to edit his own BIOS" to "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore"

HoboScruff @hoboscruff.itch.io · 6d

that's fair, I gave it a shot initially but as soon as I saw/heard the AI generated shit I passed

HoboScruff @hoboscruff.itch.io · 6d

I love that my initial reaction was "oh like shoes that look like hooves, I think they actually make those" before realizing that I'm an idiot

HoboScruff @hoboscruff.itch.io · 6d

how do you have THE CUBE in Silver and yet he still tries to blow himself up

HoboScruff @hoboscruff.itch.io · 7d

Update to this:

so before the CPU speed was getting, for me, uncomfortably high

now it's barely hitting 65 Celsius, this fucking cube may be *too* good

HoboScruff @hoboscruff.itch.io · 7d

ordered a new CPU fan/cooler because my PC has shut itself off twice in the past month, and I can't find the problem (tho the temp was getting a little high for my liking)

it just came in, this thing is a fucking 6x6x6 inch cube, I'm scared it'll snap my motherboard in half like a glow stick

Well it finally happened. My external hard drive where ALL of my past and current blender work was has died and I can't afford to replace it. Any c0mms/ko-fi tips are appreciated right now so I can replace it and get back into making art.

me, a few minutes later: actually I think I may just report them anyways cause like... you see your own name, there's no way in HELL that's a coincidence and go "yeah this is fine"

HoboScruff @hoboscruff.itch.io · 8d

TIL that usernames in Deadlock don't always match the Steam name.

Nearly reported someone for having a username that was *dangerously* close to the N-word, had to do a little digging to find them.

Turns out their name was something like "Sonic Hedgehog" but entirely in non-standard characters

HoboScruff @hoboscruff.itch.io · 12d

I was already leaning towards getting it (Ghost of Tsushima was really good, and everything I saw before release sounded awesome) but THIS information being delivered to me may tip the scales towards "you idiot why don't you have this yet"

seeing him be pro-AI sucks but reading this shows me he has no fucking clue what he's talking about, that he thinks people hate AI as a tool instead of the LITERAL LOADS OF OTHER PROBLEMS PEOPLE HAVE WITH IT.

Black text on a white background that reads:
He (Mad Max Director George Miller) likens our current moment to the Renaissance, when the introduction of oil paint “gave artists the freedom to revise and enhance their work over time”.

“That shift sparked controversy – some argued that true artists should be able to commit to the canvas without corrections, others embraced the new flexibility,” Miller says. “A similar debate unfolded in the mid-19th century with the arrival of photography. Art has to evolve. And while photography became its own form, painting continued. Both changed, but both endured. Art changed.”
