There have been serval points in my life where I looked around and had to ask “what the fuck are we even doing right now?!”
Sometimes that’s been a relationship, sometimes it’s been a job. Other times it’s been larger than that, sometimes it’s just been me.
Today, however, is one of those days.

Not going to lie, I really don’t know what a Funko Pop even is. I mean, I’ve seen boxes but is… like… that *it*? 🤷 I’m not exactly sure if I’ve ever seen one *out* of the box, are you even supposed to take them out? Or the box part of it? 🤷
Or do you literally just stack them and call it a day?

No matter what you feel about the use of AI voice/TTS in Arc Raiders, I can say without a doubt that the actual performance/voice acting is *objectively terrible*. Easily the worst part of the game.
The delivery is weird, flat and the game would be better with no voice acting at all, that *this*.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Fully routed, DRC passed with no errors or warnings.
Still stuff to do. It will get revised based on feedback from the current spin, which hasn't even shipped yet, and I still have to go over the BOM and make sure it's right. Et cetera, et cetera.

I realized a while back that there are four types of people when you run out of mayo:
1. The kind that goes to the store to get mayo
2. The kind that has zero shame getting Uber-eats to bring them a single jar of mayo
3. The kind that makes mayo from eggs and oil

Also heads up: I hope to do a few streams of the original 1992 PC game for DOSember this year! Meant to do it last year, actually, but didn't get to stream as much as I wanted to and never got to it.
Nothing to see here. Just a sneak peek at my reboot of Planet's Edge, the first game I had a major role in developing way back at the start of my dev career @ New World Computing. #RPG #IndieDev #TeamOfMe #SciFi #Blender #UnrealEngine #SomethingAboutThatChest #CrossingTheStreams
