especially annoying to see audio folks rave about how good a game sounds but ignore the fact that it uses AI voice

ALL audio matters and you should care about this!!!

play and praise games made by actual humans!! reject AI!!!
It bums me out that people would use AI generated voice lines on games.

Maybe I'm wrong in thinking this but I'm sure there's folks on those dev teams that could probably just do their best at VO, even if they're not the best, and it would be miles better than the computer just reading words?

Am I secretly posting music videos of Wax Heads songs in our discord that we're not supposed to be releasing yet?

Surely not...

Valve being privately owned and not publicly traded is 100% the reason they haven't shat themselves fatally.

Every publicly traded company ends up shitting themselves to death to get more and more profit at the expense of existing. Like a tumor.

It was such a heavy game to develop, but I'm proud of how it turned out. Your support is appreciated. Thank you! 💚

Consume Me is one of the must-plays of this year, just wonderful. Hard to capture in still images how charming the art is in every single moment.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

just a reminder that bandcamp friday is tomorrow & streaming services are interrupting music streams with ai generated shit, flooding the database with artists that don't exist in any way other than profiting the platform owners

so instead of paying a monthly fee, buy an album or two each month ok

this game looks, sounds & feels absolutely amazing!! and it's even better if you convince all your friends to get it and you all spend an entire weekend just knocking each other off the top spot of the leaderboard

get it for yourself, get it for your friends, have a great time :))
We were in a Steam Daily Deal the other day and it's nice to see some new people and find out the game is still good :)

Still 50% off!
