• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Witcher 4 | Gameplay Tech Demo⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Well damn I know it’s just footage of a tech demo so there is a lot that can happen still and it was definitely not played live (as they tried to make us believe if you watched the full event. Like seriously, who’s going to believe you when you slice up a horse and voxelize trees? Holding the controller on stag was just corny, sorry guys) BUT it looks amazing! I especially loved how they showcased some of the technical details. I really didn’t think it would impress me this much because they showed way more about a game that’s probably years away from release than I ever anticipated. And again, a lot can still happen and go wrong but I would lie if I said I wasn’t hyped already. Mission accomplished I guess.

  When did Snowden whistleblow? This isn‘t exactly new tech.

  Depriving the internet of an opportunity for good old German bashing. How sinister of you. /s

  Would be a shame if people at so sift through AI generated gore before the bots like and comment it. But seriously, good on them.

  I‘m wondering if Microsoft sends them an angry Email soon. Indie devs were forced to change the name of their game for less obvious similarities.

  Sorry but if you think AAA studios aren‘t doing the exact same then I‘ve got a bridge to sell to you.

  Going by the reputation of both user bases this must be a match made in heaven. Or should I say hell?

  Can‘t wait to watch Norman Reedus rush to school with a slice of toast in his mouth.

  I‘m just going to say that the distinctions between the two you‘re laying out here seem irrelevant to the discussion to me. I am not arguing about a game pass or preservation of games. Again, that is not what this discussion is about. This is about the developing side of games where these things don‘t mean anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube tops Disney and Netflix in TV viewing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What are people even watching on Disney all day? I assume it’s just a constant stream of cartoons for toddlers?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube tops Disney and Netflix in TV viewing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It‘s all about raising the stock for them lately so I expect viewership to fall further.

  If abiding to the law destroys your business then you are a criminal. Simple as.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨German court sends Volkswagen execs to prison over Dieselgate scandal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It most likely would‘ve. Just look how quickly US courts started to turn Monsanto into shreds the very second Bayer bought it. They‘re after that so called stupid German money. Wouldn‘t work if it was American money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And I see that but a game developer is not the right type of business to develop these kind of extremely intrusive and potentially dangerous accessibility devices. We need much stricter guidelines and oversight for this kind of tech before they essentially become a remote control for parts of our brain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I know the internet lives the guy but no. Just no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Japan's animation industry has embraced AI⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Meh. There really isn‘t a lot there. The short film mentioned has largely been regarded as a complete flop with no critical acclaim whatsoever. It‘s regarded so bad it’s essentially a meme. A real slop fest.

  As for copyright: Using models trained on copyrighted material more of a gray area than being explicitly allowed. They literally mention the act went active in 2019. That is before the rise of AI. So if anything they‘re just really behind the curve, not embracing technology.

  This reminds me of the saying that Japan has been in the year 2000 for the past 40 years. Some older folks somehow still think it‘s some futuristic paradise for sci-fi nerds when that hasn‘t been the case for over 20 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former Dragon Age writer says Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Baldur's Gate 3 prove 'what's possible when a game is given time to cook'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That‘s the critical one. It‘s not about budget or outsourcing or whatever. It comes down to who makes the decisions and why. In a lot of cases it‘s people with a finance background who couldn‘t care less about the medium they‘re working with and that can be a major issue. Gaming being a bigger industry than music and film combined has attracted a lot of people who only think in dollar bills and it shows. Luckily however, there are still a lot of passionate teams with leaders who have a love for games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to believe this is just s straw man argument but sadly I know there are enough jerks out there who absolutely call everything that doesn’t cater precisely to toxic masculinity wOkE.

  I think it‘s a bit of a bummer that the ending of Witcher 3 that does make the most sense in-universe isn‘t canon in favor of what I think is pure fan service. I will probably still play the shit out of this though because all of their games have been hitters for me. Even Cyberpunk at launch. Even Witcher 1.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers Scrape 2 Billion Discord Messages and Publish Them Online⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s good news. Internet archiving is an important endeavor because you never know when they‘ll pull the plug. Now it‘s a little more secured and probably far more useful than in Discord‘s hands alone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New ‘Marathon’ Info: Bungie Morale, Launch Worries And Changing Plans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Please phrase your thoughts in a way everyone can understand and if possible a little less mockingly? What is it that you have a problem with exactly?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New ‘Marathon’ Info: Bungie Morale, Launch Worries And Changing Plans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Way to make a truly bad faith argument or perhaps you are lost or something. To clarify: Are you implying it‘s any different for AAA SP games? Because that’s the discussion here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New ‘Marathon’ Info: Bungie Morale, Launch Worries And Changing Plans⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean they also created a ton of jobs and it‘s not like devs working on single player games don‘t face layoffs and bonuses fraud. Besides Overwatch 2 killed Overwatch already.

  I read it more carefully and you are right. The title is actually wrong as I have mentioned in the edit. Thank you anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feddit.org officially announces they will ban criticism of Israel and pro-Palestinian posts and comments.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not being able to criticize leaders that the International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants against is bonkers and simple censorship. It’s like we’re right back in the 30s and I wish I was exaggerating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Toei Animation To Apply AI to ‘Various Processes of Animation Production’ in the Future⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course it’s not just Japan but this is about Anime. It’s the best 2D animation the world has to offer right now so the loss in quality will be felt.
