• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disney says Google AI infringes copyright “on a massive scale”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Disney just announced yesterday that they were investing a billion dollars into OpenAI. I have a hard time believing any AI company is respecting copyright because infringement is their business model. This sort of reads like “the competition’s product is worse than ours.”

  It’s hard to know who to root for in a battle between giant AI firms and equally giant entertainment companies.

  You’re allowed to root for nobody. Sometimes everyone sucks.

  God, I hope not

  It’s either that or fisting

  In this case, they’re related by being played by the same actor. This incarnation of Puss n Boots was definitely influenced by Antonio Banderas’ Zorro

  “There’s no way we evolved from monkeys, and I’ll prove it: humans are good at holding bananas!”

  Can’t make this stuff up

  Bad person, probably not

  I'd call this behaviour to avoid though. Most people don't like being lied to or ghosted

  Sometimes you can't really avoid it, like if safety is a concern. But if you lie and ghost because feelings are messy then it causes other people to have messy feelings

  I think in Cube it was razor wire, but they may have upgraded to lasers for Cube 2

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dying Light 2 Removes Stamina from Parkour System⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Credit where it's due, around the time Dying Light 1 came out, Roger Craig Smith was lending his voice to Chris Redfield, one of the more iconic zombie guys from Resident Evil.

  My favorite Redfield moment was when, without a shred of irony, he talks smack about the villain acting like a comic book villain. Then in the same breath, he punches a six-ton boulder into submission.

  Dying Light also really kinda shook up the zombie slaying dynamic with parkour. It seems like a fairly minor thing now, but that freedom of movement was a pretty big deal at the time, even if it was pretty janky.

  Narratively, I agree that Crane isn't a very strong character. He's a dime-a-dozen government goon turned idealist. I don't even remember how the story ends, or even most of the major beats except for a couple of major characters.

  But at the time, to kick zombie butt while scooting around the rooftops and listening to Chris Redfield quip one-liners: those were special times even if it was a decade ago. They're probably trying to recapture that magic, but I don't know. It was lightning in a bottle and you can't always get that back

  I'd be scared too if I had to come back to work after being a victim in a hit-and-run
