Neat. I’ve had that on my list of games I should play for a while now

I feel like it’s going to be a challenge to find a definition of malicious most people agree on.
Someone might think it’s fine to make nudes of Captain Marvel for example because she’s a character. They don’t really care about the Brie Larson aspect.
It gets muddy real quick

Good point. I don’t know how I didn’t think of that

I recall some people using Akinator to find pornstars they might be interested so you might be onto something.
- Comment on This Week in AI: OpenAI considers allowing AI porn | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
Am I the only one who finds this so weird when we talk about LLMs? If someone makes a bot that resembles some specific person, that person’s rights aren’t really violated, and since they’re all fictional content, it is very hard to break actual laws through its content. At that point we would have to also ban people’s weird fan fiction, no?
Not arguing about whatever they want or don’t want on their platform, but the legal & alleged moral questions / arguments always weird me out a bit, because there’s no one actually getting hurt in any sort of way by weirdos having weird chats with computers.
I could see some people making the argument that it could be considered defamatory especially in cases where it is being peddled as real. Politicians might even try to link it in with revenge porn or other non-consensual pornography laws.
It would sure get messy in a hurry though. Imagine someone trying to make lewd photos of Laura Croft’s Tomb Raider for example and accidentally generating images resembling Alicia Vikander or Angelina Jolie from the Tomb Raider movie.
- Comment on Heroes of Might and Magic III open source build gets initial gamepad support 1 week ago:
It didn’t already? Was it a different Heroes of Might and Magic game that’s on emulator handhelds?

To find very specific content?
- Comment on This Week in AI: OpenAI considers allowing AI porn | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
“We want to ensure that people have maximum control to the extent that it doesn’t violate the law or other peoples’ rights,” Joanne Jang, a member of the product team at OpenAI, told NPR. “There are creative cases in which content involving sexuality or nudity is important to our users.”
The other problem in my mind is the fallibility of current safeguards. OpenAI and rivals have been refining their filtering and moderation tools for years. But users constantly discover workarounds that enable them to abuse the companies’ AI models, apps and platforms.
Some highlights from the article.
It seems like AI porn is inevitable and OpenAI has safeguards in mind for exploitative content so it doesn’t seem like a horrendous idea.
- Comment on Perfect Dark Reboot Is Allegedly In Bad Shape 1 week ago:
It’s like nostalgia blinders.
An example a lot of people here can relate to is thinking about game consoles and handhelds they played growing up like the GBA.
There were likely some great games produced for it but there was also a lot of shovelware movie tie-ins and horrendous ports that were misrepresented in advertisements.

Are you telling me all the podcasters I listen to didn’t natural have the same experience with HelloFresh?
- Comment on Controversy and Censorship 2 weeks ago:
I get that. I’m saying showing less thigh doesn’t make the game run faster and developers might not view something like that as a waste.
- Comment on Controversy and Censorship 2 weeks ago:
I think it depends on the developer. They might lump it in with other realism things like hair physics.
I think what OP is talking about is things being removed. It doesn’t have much to do with optimising the game.
- Comment on Controversy and Censorship 2 weeks ago:
It seems silly to me.
It’s essentially rehashing the debate of people being more comfortable with violence than sexual content. A game can have someone getting vivisected with a shotgun and no one really cares but having full frontal nudity will end up with a game that has articles written about it.
From what I’ve heard Stellar Blade didn’t have full frontal nudity or anything remotely close to that level but the outfits were toned down. I don’t think it’s really necessary especially when you can choose which outfit the protagonists wears.
I feel like this has been the norm for a while though with games getting released here in the west with less sexual content. Not sure if Stellar Blade was censored all over though.
I’m kind out of the loop about Stellar Blade specifically. I’m not a fan of the genre.

I got rid of my Crunchyroll subscription because their Apple TV app kept logging me out
- Comment on What are some mainstream game series where you really do need to start from the first game? 3 weeks ago:
I agree but I wouldn’t recommend it to a casual fan. I think most of them would view it as more of a novelty and only get so far in the game.
If someone was looking for more Fallout after playing 3, NV, and 4 I’d probably recommend a game outside of the franchise that has similar themes like Metro 2033 or STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl.

I also can’t imagine Nintendo’s next console not being a mobile one so I think there’s definitely a market for a traditional stationary console.

Would you need to go all the way back and play the original Metal Gear or is Metal Gear Solid a decent starting point?
- Comment on What are some mainstream game series where you really do need to start from the first game? 3 weeks ago:
Even if the stories don’t connect, I always would recommend starting at the earliest point in a series and moving forward, since this allows for a better appreciation of the evolution of the game over several iterations rather than being disappointed by the regression you would see going backwards or jumping around.
How do you approach remakes/remasters, franchise reboots, and prequels in that case? Do you play them in release order?
I think taking that approach would put a lot of people in the situation where they are forcing themselves to play something they don’t really want to. How many people have gone back and played TES Arena or even Morrowind?
Maybe it’s because I like completing games that I start but I feel like just trying every game that lead up to Skyrim would get tiring in a hurry.
- Comment on What are some mainstream game series where you really do need to start from the first game? 3 weeks ago:
Is Bioshock Infinite that connected to the first the two games? I can’t recall a lot of callbacks.
I feel like that’s one of those situations where you could use Infinite as a starting point then go back and play the originals.

Code Parade has a neat video on non-Euclidean spaces for those that want to learn more about them and see them in action.
He also made a game called 4D golf and Hyperbolica. Not really non-Euclidean but it feels similarly surreal.

- Comment on Huawei wants to take HarmonyOS smartphone platform worldwide 3 weeks ago:
Part of this process will involve porting apps to HarmonyOS and encouraging other app developers to code for the platform.
“In the China market, Huawei smartphone users spend 99 percent of their time on about 5,000 apps. So we decided to spend 2024 porting these apps over to HarmonyOS first in our drive to truly unify the OS and the app ecosystem. We are also encouraging other apps to be ported over to HarmonyOS,” Xu said.
According to Huawei’s rotating chairman, more than 4,000 of those apps are already in the process of being transferred, and the company is “communicating with developers” on the 1,000 or so apps that remain.
I haven’t looked into HarmonyOS before but is the plan to work off of a compatibility layer like Wine or Anbox?
I have no idea how detached it is from Android or how willing companies are to embrace it.
- Comment on Reddit Is Taking Over Google 4 weeks ago:
It makes sense. Adding Reddit to my online searches has been my “life hack” for years now. If only Reddit wasn’t becoming annoying as fuck with things like their new UI, blocking third party apps, and finally blocking off VPN users.
