Just gonna say since we're already talking about unionizing game writers: hey, maybe let us localizers in on those talks, too, because it's pretty fucking rough out there, even in AAA. I'd probably have three times as many credits if we were unionized and I'm one of the lucky ones with any at all.
Nioh 3, developed by Koei Tecmo and localized in 11 languages, does NOT feature any #TranslatorsInTheCredits. A few members of Localization staff are included in the LQA credits, but none of the actual translators are credited. Source: GamersPrey

Saw a post comparing the lack of first party exclusives on Switch 2 to the PS5 and that reminded me of these screenshots I took

I know this might be not the most popular take on here but I think audio to text transcription is one of those applications of machine learning where I think it is 100% ethical to always use it, as long as as you don't rely on it without human intervention on stuff like medical records
Voxtral (from @MistralAI) transcription quality is quite incredible, the way it handles the punctation and all the rest, makes transcribed audio messages so much more understandable. I implemented a few fixes in the FFT and now there is no longer a skipped tokens issue in voxtral.c

I'd like to add that like in all industries, when we stop understanding how our tools work, we become entirely dependent on the corporate entities that own the mold. We are trading the ability to build and repair for the convenience of being permanent tenants in someone else's infrastructure/subs.
Vibe coding is working as expected: it'll kill the open-source, secure, and ideologically maintained alternatives to make sure you have to pay the oligarchs to do anything at all, and they can control what you're allowed to make.

The only good part about the steam machine and steam frame getting delayed due to ram is that valve probably actively dislikes ai now
Tim sweeny is probably crying that they aren’t gonna put it in their games or something even more now

the other answer for who we'd pitch as an unbeatable character for a poker night is probably poco and apoco as a single slot double character

Question for y’all: let’s say you were in charge of making a new Poker Night at the Inventory game (Texas Hold ‘Em with five characters from various media, specifically four players and the dealer.) who’re you picking for the five characters?
