  At the end of the day, this is just an award. It’s not up to the award giver to define and micromanage what a “safe and acceptable, or appropriate amount of gen AI” can be used in the dev process.

  When competing against other titles that haven’t, regardless of how it was used, an award show is going to draw a very hard line.

  I’m sure they didn’t have to go the route of using gen AI, but they chose it, and did not disclose it.

  Omg my high school had 2 chem teachers and both were insane and took the class too seriously. The first week was making us memorize the elements and being drilled in almost daily tests to see if we could write them down.

  By the end of the week, my teacher said if you didn’t have at least an 8/10 from her quizzes, to basically change classes. She and the other teacher often went overtime and ignored the period ending bell which pissed off a lot of other teachers.

  The periodic table of elements was on a paper that she’d roll up during our quizzes and for the rest of the year, we had to take our quizzes with the assumption that we’ve memorized the tables and could do equations and conversions with no references. The class had to be graded on a curve since most of us 16 year olds had other school work to focus on.

  In the end, I think no one from those classes ever became a chem major. It certainly made me hate it.

  Every now and then, I yearn for something a bit silly and light and I’ll pop it on for half an hour. I haven’t fully replayed it more than twice though haha.

  My personal fave is the blend of both worlds with the black bean chili crisp ✨✨✨

  Oh I had noooo idea about scalies lmaooo. But I think the alt text was meant to be super general. I would say that typical lizard legs have more of that chicken feet vibe to them though.

  Either way, a T-Rex leg lamp sounds cool!

  Ohhhh. I think in this case “furry” isn’t meant to mean literal furry as in soft and fuzzy. (I’m no expert but here’s my best shot).

  It’s a reference to a sub-culture and visual aesthetic of cartoony anthropomorphic animals. The lamp paw is very reminiscent of a lot of art in the style of furry art.

  I was just at the hometown of the Michelin tire and they’re so proud that their metro and tram lines all use rubber tires. It certainly did not make the ride any quieter or smoother.

  I had to scroll so far to see someone who likes 6! I’m a lefty, and every pencil felt so uncomfortable because of my grip and this was one of the few which didn’t make my fingers hurt.

  Looool. Lars Anderson is such a meme joke with my archery friends cause he’s clearly drawing incredibly light draws at super close range. It’s like the equivalent of being showy with a rubber band slingshot. I’m sure a darts player can hit the same targets.

  Full disclaimer, I haven’t shot a real gun, just an air pistol and its did feel more intuitive and a little easier to get more accurate shots in comparison to all the tiny, preflight checks I need when I’ve drawn a compound bow.

  There’s also the point of needing to draw actual weight (40lbs+ is ideal for hitting targets 60-70 yards away) for effective shots that would make archery more tedious to get into if someone’s not very physically active.

  I’m sure both hobbies have their tedium, it’s just a matter of what one finds more interesting to master.
