Got a sweet trio of some mob/ yakuza movies, but not the genre you'd expect them to be:

Poster for Ryuhei Kitamura's film, Versus. Has silhouette of man in trenchcoat holding a sword and a handgun.

Poster for Takashi Yamazaki's Returner. Dude who looks at home in the matrix, against a colorful backdrop of post apocalyptic looking cities with a young lady behind him.

Poster for Takashi Miike's Gozu. Posterized guy with a cow's head squatting in the foreground in yellow and red. Lots of character portraits in black and red as background.

Saw Obsession, and I think it's my #2 film of the year sitting snugly between 28 years later 2 the streets: bone zone and project hail mary. That Curry Barker fella has slid into 2 interesting niches, sketch comedy -> horror, and youtube video maker -> film, and is in the top of his class in both.

Reposting with ALT because this kind of phenomenal disdain and disrespect from within the industry literally against two of their own titles and the designer who made them is important to recognize.

Ryan Dancey - Chief Operating Officer of Alderac Entertainment responding to:

Baffles me why people think AI should be included in any serious business when it's like the office four year old.

Ryan writes

Because three years ago, it was essentially nothing but a curiosity. Now it’s useful, but in limited cases. In a year or two it will be as useful as any new hire. A year or two after that, it will be used useful as an experienced employee. And any field. For a few dollars day in cost.

15 years ago the best humans could be any computer playing chess. 10 years ago a human checking the work of the best chest plan computer could be the best human. Today the best humans cannot beat a chess playing computer. This is what is happening with AI except the timeframe is months not years.

I have zero reason to believe that AI couldn’t come up with tiny towns or flip seven or cubitos. I can prompt any of several AI‘s right now and get ideas for games as good as those. The gaming industry doesn’t exist because humans create otherwise unobtainable ideas it exists because many many previous games exist feed into the minds of designers who produce new variance of those themes. People then apply risk. Against those ideas to see if there’s a product market fit. Sometimes there is, and sometimes there’s not. In fact, much more often than not. Extremely occasionally quotes twice in my lifetime (D&D and magic the gathering) a human has produced an all new form of gaming entertainment. Those moments are so rare and incandescent that they echo across decades.

Game publishing isn’t an industry of unique special ideas. It’s an industry about execution, marketing, and attention to detail. All things AIs are great at.

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.

pcgamer.com

Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'

The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.
