- Comment on Ubisoft CEO responds to the Stop Killing Games petition, stating the publisher is 'working on' improving its approach to end-of-life support, but that 'nothing is eternal' 1 week ago:
Stop Killing Games is about online components, relevant or not to the core gameplay, requiring the presence of a company server and acting as a remote kill switch. It’s not about putting the burden of preservation on the studios, but of reasonable “preservability”.
The argument that actually preserving video games is easy because we have preserved other forms of media does not hold. Digital data is problematic to preserve because most physical supports have ridiculously low shelf life compared to, say, paper. Storing it on computers which age even faster isn’t any better. Furthermore we have lost to time countless works from other media, some critical. Fortunately this all has little to do with what Stop Killing Games is about.

- Comment on What are signs that the game devs aren't gamers themselves? 3 weeks ago:
When the game is such a precious labour of love, so obviously cared for, and constantly improved, that there’s no way the dev has any time left for gaming.
- Comment on Crunchyroll accidentally confirmed it uses ChatGPT for subtitles 4 weeks ago:
Both translation and subtitles have highly efficient tooling when in the hands of a professional. Translators nowadays use a mix and will build up a dynamic database as they go through a corpus that needs coherence. What’s bad in this instance is not the usage of some AI, but of a badly adapted AI and ultimately of mediocre results which gives an amateurish impression.

So that we can discuss the issue without triggering abuse survivors would be a reason.
- Comment on ChatGPT's Impact On Our Brains According to an MIT Study 1 month ago:
Some non peer reviewed paper with a tiny sample size is hardly enough to go “The Science has spoken”. On the other hand, one can make an appeal to the intuitive idea that lack of practice implies lack of skill.
This immediately points to the pernicious effects of touting LLMs as a machine to do all the thinking for you. Heck, the enthusiasts are even using LLMs to do their social interactions for them.
This is a warning to people as much as workplaces: is this task you’re offloading to LLMs really a skill you want to see atrophied?

So you take a small round slice from a fresh baguette and toast it. While still hot you put some brie or camembert on the toast. The point is for the cheese to get a little sweaty byt not runny. Finally cut a date open, pit it, spread it on top of the cheese. Heaven.

I’m with you. Very puritan, kinkshaming article. Stellar Blade might not be my thing, but I know not to yuck people’s yum. One could take the opportunity to discuss sexual objectification, but apparently that’s off the table.

Similar “free-space optics” systems have been tested since the late 1990s, but past attempts were limited by weather conditions and fragile alignment systems. Taara claims its devices overcome many of those limitations with improved beam tracking and more resilient design.
They claim they’ve overcome that hurdle though, as per the article.

- Comment on Adobe to automatically move subscribers to pricier, AI-focused tier in June 2 months ago:
While I was studying 25 years ago every student had bought an education version of Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 at the local shop, which was less than a 100$. In the meanwhile everybody was sharing a cracked copy of Adobe Photoshop since the only license available was upwards of 600$. They absolutely did that to themselves.

- Comment on GTA 6's delay doesn't mean the games industry's in trouble - it's already dead 2 months ago:
I understand how you’d extend reproach to the employees of a bad business. I don’t feel it personally though. Solidarity for all workforce trumps it in my heart. Maybe it’s my family ties with active union members.
In gamedev particularly, a lot of creators get in there mainly because of their passion for the medium. Then they get chewed up by shit work conditions. Ultimately dream job type positions are especially vulnerable to abusive management.

Oh no! Venture capital has moved to AI! (Anyways.) The article goes on to talk about humongous corporations making dubious decisions and toppling over themselves. Are we supposed to lament Ubisoft’s demise now?
Expedition 33 just came out of nowhere to great acclaim. Valve is hosting a thriving market & slowly but surely freeing PC gaming from Microsoft’s grip. SILK SONG IS DUE THIS YEAR MY FRIENDS. Everyone’s wishlist is as long as their backlog. The bar to entry for development has never been lower. Video gaming is an established medium at this point. A handful of corporative giants infected with a rotten management culture matters little. What essentially matters to me is for the creators out of a job to find new footing.
- Comment on 100,000 People Are Using a Telegram Bot That Makes AI Cumshot Videos of Anyone 2 months ago:
Remember this thread is about a bot commodifying the production of cumshot videos from any person’s photo. I fail to see any nuance here. There is only one use: generating porn featuring people that don’t want to. Decency rules continues to apply to general use tools as it always did.
