I got a new video out. It's on how to use PCSX2 on Linux. It is a long video since it does go into how to use the emulator and creating ".desktop" files for the Linux desktop.

I think we need to change the way we talk about SAG-AFTRA. Not a dig at Jeff here (I too would like to see a SAG-AFTRA Amazon Agreement,) but we've got to stop referring to SAG-AFTRA as an organization that can just "step in" and do stuff.
I just wanna see SAG-AFTRA step in & establish a dubbing agreement with Amazon much like the Netflix agreement. That would be the best path forward.

Indie animation and game development is here to stay because it MUST be. Otherwise soon enough there won’t exist a sector of the industry willing to tell or support the stories already starting to be snuffed out.
Not great that a foreign state that regularly executes queer folks is now going to own the major AAA publisher that most consistently supported queer stories and characters.
Saudi Fund [PIF] will own almost all of EA (93.4%) after buyout according to filing

Seeing OTHER anime being AI dubbed, including shows that have already been dubbed proper by other studios no less (No Game No Life and Dororo via Sentai Filmworks) is such a telling sign of how greedy Amazon is being.

Disrespectful to the creators, clients, studios AND the audience when you use AI.

I don't know what's worst, the idea of using AI for English dubbing (barf), or how awful the dubbing is.

The only good thing to come out of this is that it gives me a much greater appreciation for some of my favorite English voice actors.
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

This is messed up. Putting aside my deep hatred for replacing real voice actors with AI slop, the dubbing really bad. I mean it's early 90's Sega CD level of bad.

Holy. SHIT. Like........ WOW... It's so much worse than you'd think. Like, before I hit play, I figured it would just be kind of awkward but... wow...

Microsoft once again demonstrates just how clueless they are. All they have to do is give their users to option to install their AI nonsense.
What a great headline

I've finally made a video on me trying out the first 4+ hours of the Steam version Final Fantasy XII on Linux. It was nice revisiting this game after originally playing it on the PS2 many years ago.

This is awesome. I hope the content I make helps other Linux users adjust to gaming on Linux, as I started my Linux journey last year.

I don't often see Linux benchmarks, so this should be interesting.
This was one hell of an undertaking. We still have a lot to learn with Linux benchmarking, but we finally have a foundation for it. This is our first-ever round of desktop Linux GPU gaming benchmarks -- we've previously only done this on handhelds: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovOx...

Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.

The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”
