no. this is literally AI slop manifested.
Use of Al
I plan to use Al-generated content in my project.
What parts of your project will use Al generated content? Please be as specific as possible.
We used Al tools to help generate the final artwork for the game. As game developers, we
have always created artwork using technology.
Humans created all the designs, and Al served as a supporting tool. The Oliver Twins and their team designed and created the game and content.

going through the portfolio for job stuff and remembering that I spent some time before joining pcguide in 2021 editing videos for Simon Miller, at a time I was very much watching Trixie Mattel & Katya’s UNHhhh.

If you rank all the MGS games, it's 3, 5, Peace Walker, Rising, 1, 4, 2.

there is never a good time for pay-per-click deals, but it couldn’t possibly be worse than now.
Screen Hype is Hiring
We're looking for: video game reviewers/game guide writers, TTRPG/board game reviewers/guide writers, and TV/movie reviewers, as well as lists and opinion pieces across all of those niches. While we're a UK site, we have a small team of global writers, and we're featured on OpenCritic and Metacritic. We would love to get more UK-based writers, but we welcome applications from across the world.
For clarity: You will be self-employed, with a contract, and you'll be paid your earnings each quarter, in conjunction with the time frame from the ad company we use. While there is no base pay, writers can earn up to $100 for any published article based on a majority percentage of the ad revenue earnings gathered through clicks and impressions on that page.
It's up to you how many hours/how much work you do. I work full-time; others work part-time; some work alongside other positions.
While we love to see experienced writers, we provide training for all writers during your probation period. To apply, scroll down to the bottom of the linked page and follow the instructions there.

Valve EU shipping partner hit by cyberattack.
Steam to me
10:44
Hello,
Between July 29 2026 and August 1, 2026, a cyberattack hit CEVA
Logistics, the company that ships Steam hardware to customers in Europe.
CEVA is still investigating this attack, but as Valve learned on August 7, certain information about Steam customers, including you, was likely compromised.
CEVA receives specific delivery-related information from Steam to be able to ship physical hardware to customers in Europe, and told us these are the details the attacker likely took. Because CEVA retains this information for up to 90 days after that order, we are sending this message to all customers we can assume were impacted.
For you, that means the following information related to your hardware purchase may have been compromised:
• your name
• your street address, postal code and city
• your country
• your phone number
• your email address - the same one your Steam account uses
• the type and price of the ordered product
Additional information related to your Steam account or other purchases was not impacted. CEVA does not have access to your payment information, passwords, Steam Guard codes or other information.

A combination of these has buffed an emoji so much, the fly that has health equal to what i killed the host enemy with, which is like infinity but is actually 5764607523034234140

I'd just watched the Supergirl film and......it wasn't that bad or good but it atleast gave Kara a major role in the DCU and I'm looking forward to her role in Man of Tomorrow (2027). What was your best part of Supergirl (2026)?
