i toyed with csp4's 3d modelling reference in the trial version and it basically convinced me instantly
lil black/white sketch. a penguin robed character with sits next to a succubus from mabinogi with a big robo cat helmet by her side. staring off into the middle distance, she says: "and cichol shows up and literally says 'what would your mother think? actually, go ask her yourself' before fucken vaporizing her. rabbie dungeon succubus what did she mean by this." the succubus is staring at a bottle of honey yogurt in her hand, which has a screenshot of the ingame cooking journal entry attached, with a word from the Master Chef Gato295 (me): "David Hogan's Barb Wire was greatly influential in the making of Death Road To Canada." With a confused/irritated expression, the succubus says, "I have no earthly idea what you are talking about."

kiseff 2024: i wanna tweak a few things like cast time and monster defense to make sure skills are more important than just straight weapon damage

kiseff 11 months later:
steam patchnotes for atlyss' controller update. Adjusted the defense stat formula, making the bonus against standard weapon attacks less harsh. This change is to make melee combat more impactful, especially for lower level experiences. Increased the max health of all mobs to compensate for the defense stat formula / decrease adjustment. Increased the strength weapon damage bonus % from 15% to 40% for Strength Mastery. Increased the mind weapon damage bonus % from 12% to 40% for Mind Mastery. Increased the dexterity weapon damage bonus % from 18% to 40% for Dexterity Mastery.

having actual godmode is fundamentally different from putting ⬇️ this shit ⬇️ on and deciding not to fight a boss properly, but like, fucking whatever, maybe you're just in it to explore the world for yourself. mysterious, though, that so many trainer users specifically do this embered and online

I had a shadow shaman/riki lane yesterday, whenever someone started walking away from the creep wave this was my genuine reaction

the treant abandoned
urien "epic win" meme. Urien has an unhinged smile and the "epic win!" caption is low quality and weirdly stretched.

This is the most brainless "blease stop fighting !!" bullshit i've ever seen. I'd point to the sign that says "multiple things can be true" but one of these things is significantly more true than the other, and the people who are *right* are being portrayed in an extremely condescending way.
Quote from Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani. “I find that anything that is [an] AI-related debate in the games industry ends up being on both ends of the spectrum. Either we have Square Enix executives talking about 77% being automated through QA, or we have developers who feel that their livelihood is completely on… the very fabric of their being is being threatened and therefore all AI is bad AI. “Maybe could it be that reality is somewhere in the middle? Could it be?”

I forgot the best fucking part. Paul Tassi really out here saying "rating a game negative because the devs crunched or used AI is bad actually." Not to mention the very valid complaint made in the Eurogamer article where they said the AI sounds like shit and actively causes ludonarrative dissonance
Eurogamer certainly has the right to do whatever they want, score a game however they want, and no one should take into account raising or lowering a Metacritic score when reviewing a game. But to me, this seems similar to something like a game critic flipping a review of a good game from positive to negative because the studio used crunch to finish it behind the scenes. Is that a real issue? Yes! Will writing a review dictated by that be useful or good or helpful to the cause you’re trying to support? I would argue no, not particularly.

Mad cacklings echo throughout the cavernous depths. The mood has swung. I shimmer with righteous lightning.
Forbes: "Should An ARC RAIDERS Review Score Be Tanked Because The Game Uses AI?" By Paul Tassi, Senior Contributor. (Notably, the Forbes "Ask AI" banner is visible above the article's mobile view.) (Eurogamer's review) is a two star review out of five, which equates to a 40/100 on Metacritic, making it the game’s lowest score by far. So low, it docked ARC’s Metascore a few points by itself, and cost it a few of its recent records, by the looks of it. I have always taken issue with Eurogamer’s “they know what they’re doing” five-star review system where a “good” 3/5 is a 60/100 on Metacritic, where if a big game lands a 60, those are studio shutdown numbers. But the issue at heart here is why Eurogamer scored ARC Raiders this low, and it’s almost entirely because of its use of generative AI in its voicework. (The Ask AI banner is still visible.) The review of the actual game is almost entirely positive, from its mechanics to its social experience. But it ends with nine full paragraphs about the game’s use of generative AI in voicework. It’s a unique situation because it appears some VOs signed over their voice rights to be used in this fashion, mixed and matched with genAI for lines in the game. The counter-argument to this type of “ethical AI” is that other VOs may lose jobs if they don’t want their voices thrown into AI like these other actors. I am firmly anti-genAI these days (as genAI has eaten every word I’ve ever written and spits it out again in Google summaries), but even I’m a bit “ehhhh” about this. I think something like this does more harm than good to “the movement,” as it were. While I am not amused with the “this is why game journalists are trash” refrain now (obviously 95% of other game journalists gave it very high scores), the larger issue is that now anti-AI people are being torched because of this “protest vote.” This may draw attention to the use of AI in games, but the reaction is not exactly “hm yes, I hadn’t considered this,” among pro-AI users. It’s just an inferno out there of people lambasting how stupid they think this was, for the most part. (It is still worth saying, Forbes has an "Ask AI banner that scrapes your article and writes a little chyron about it.)
