Seems to be going well for them. Haven't seen a review mention the AI shit yet; apparently the campaign is hot garbage, among other things.
But so weird how a game cutting corners with AI slop appears to have cut other corners, too.

Looks like he's got a website that just regurgitates press releases via genAI for ad revenue. Ugh.

@softrains.bsky.social fun bug... On my Xbox Elite V2 controller, I have one of my paddles assigned to SHIFT. I tapped it and the game hard crashed to desktop.
When I loaded my save, it seems to have kept my position but not my cleaning progress, so I spawned inside fungus and 💀
Gerard's mission.

My wife was doing some organizing and found the stuffed "donut" that Jester's breeder sent home with her the day we took her home, six years ago.

I'm one of the six people who bought and liked the original Steam Controller; the haptic pad isn't a mouse replacement but it was the closest anyone had gotten. So when I compare the new one to the Dreamcast controller and The Duke, it's affectionately.

Of these, I'd bet on Vaults over Thicket, which I think lets you out on the wrong side.

I've said on several occasions that voice is one of the more ethical forms of generative AI, since it's typically trained on a single voice rather than a sea of stolen content. IF the performer is INFORMED AND APPROPRIATELY COMPENSATED, this is a very reasonable win via genAI.

!["As [you] stated, [it's] the same as The Finals, we use that text-to-speech model," Watkins said. "That is, we hire and contract voice actors for it — it's part of their contract that we use it [AI] for this purpose, and that allows us to do things like our ping system, where it's capable of saying every single item name, every single location name, and compass directions. That's how we can get that without needing to have someone come in every time we create a new item for the game."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jupvzthhxsac2mwtqwulknsk/bafkreifjlcd4qtcvj3novzlochrsvsqncv2575mjtu5utnwtqd47nuk26m@jpeg)
