Half? You mean 99.99%? Take any random indie game… find its physical copy. I’ll wait.

That’s not even counting the miles and miles of asset-flip slop that’s out there.

Then management adds contingency while trying to also cut cost,

No, they just cut cost, beyond what the engineering was designed for. Then they end up as a mini-documentary on some channel like Plainly Difficult.

AI analyzed an existing piece of artwork someone created, copied it, then spit out a slightly modified version and called it an original creation.

“AI” did none of those things. As much as you want to personify tools, a human was paid to use LLMs to generate that output. It did not magically create that out of its own free will. These are not people, and they do not act on their own.

just hating on the technological advancements without knowing what it will results in seems kind of senseless to me.

Welcome to the Anti-AI crowd. No nuance, just mindless hate at the technology, instead of considering each use case.

How is this any worse than airbrushing models and Photoshopping movie posters?

If I build a wheelchair ramp out of the flesh and bones of orphans I’m still not a very good person.

Comparing copyright, a bullshit concept that was designed only to protect the rich, to building with “the flesh and bones of orphans” is so extreme that it’s not even worth arguing about.

Even if we called them LLMs, which we should, people will keep having these negative connotations to the technology because of overmarketing. This feature is still using LLMs, and that’s not supposed to be a bad thing.

Stop blaming the technology, and blame the corpos pushing it to the moon. This is “BitTorrent is only used for piracy” bullshit all over again.

It’s wrong to wish people dead

I had this attitude 20 years ago. I no longer do. I’ve come to realize that there are certain rich fucks who are actively harming humanity directly (Hitler, Kissinger, Reagan, world leaders who send the poor to useless wars), and if they died and their death prevented more suffering, that’s a good thing for humanity. Even the rich fucks that just hoard money are actively robbing from the poor to do so, and some of those people die as a result.

How many people does a person have to kill before they are too far gone to save, and are just evil? How many levels of indirection does it take before they wouldn’t be considered evil? What happens if a person indirectly kills millions of people? Is that still far enough to call them evil?

These are the questions you should ask yourself when you try to plot out your own moral compass.

This one just came out from Jamrock Hobo, one of the main Disco Elysium channels. I think he has been working on this for several months. To say that it explains everything is an understatement.

Oh, huh, this noclip one is recent, too. PMG’s second video did a really good breakdown of the ZA/UM drama. (A helluva lot better than their first attempt. PMG basically apologized for the tone and structure of that video.)

This week, players are being asked to pay $25 for early access to Masters of Albion, a god game throwback that legendary designer Peter Molyneux (Populous, Dungeon Keeper, Black and White) says will be the last game he ever works on.

Also, Curiosity and Godus. Let’s not forgot about those “legendary” games.

Their campaigning there is almost completely ineffective. They’ve been shoved down the list by the likes of Elon and the Rogan “manosphere”.

Well, yeah, because the fascists that run Shitter hate the EFF and everything it stands for. And they ain’t very subtle about how they were trying to shape the platform into some right-wing white supremacist haven.

Again, this is a predictable turn of events, and they should have left much earlier.

but it might be overdue

By at least two years. Better late than never, I guess, but EFF should have been one of the first ones jumping ship to newer, freer options.

Nerd blackface.

Like Fabio? Pretty much any depiction of a barbarian is some muscular dude wearing only a loincloth and his broadsword.
