Sol's Atelier - Elfie: A Sand Plan @ Steam Next Fest @solsatelier.bsky.social · 23h

The amount of AI slop capsules I've been subjected to while looking through Steam Next Fest is insane.

The bare minimum would be to have a filter to hide games that have disclosed having AI generated content.

Wiki says Sobu Rapid terminates in Tokyo. Makes sense.
God it converts to even more lines once it passes through Chiba. Maybe remember those names to impress the kids.

YT said they'd have an opt-out "soon" - in August. Like, shouldn't you have built an opt-out into it from the start?

Oh, right! Google doesn't believe in consent.

Google is now returning AI summaries even for searches that start with "-AI", this bubble cannot burst soon enough.

Send feedback to google: product design or functionality

Is it embarrasing to work at Google these days? I know that one upon a time google was the crown jewel of silicon valley, a part of the web so integral it became a verb. But every AI summary is so likely to be riddled with errors it detracts from my research. Now "-AI" doesn't prevent AI summaries. You're giving me the trash I'm asking specifically to not get. This is dogshit.

A tri-force of adventure for this issue of MSX FAN from 1988, whose covers remain some of my favourites.

Psst! You'll also receive information on some of Hydlide 3's secrets too. *whisper*
