fine, okay. I'm going to stop talking about That Stuff.

I mean, in aggregate, I am discussing everyone's game who used AI. That's true I guess.

I'm genuinely losing track of the argument you're making here. It's that someone from the outside will get the perception that someone on the inside will see this thread and then be afraid of advocating for AI use in IGF, and then that person on the outside will be upset about... that possibility??

Judging ends in two days tho.

If "igf is having heated discussions about AI" is a shock enough to get me banned from the compo then I'll live with that but I really don't think that should be a surprise to anyone and I've heavily limited the scope of reference. EVERYONE is having these arguments, that's the entire point.

Uhhhh. I talk about how I hate AI all the time. If they're using AI they should already know my position on it. I've been very very public long before IGF about this.

2. I think I was very fair to the position in question, this position is already being discussed publically in other avenues, and I'm distilling a thing multiple people said. I'm not sure where "misrepresentation" comes into play here.

1. I'm not responsible for the vague idea that people might start doxing judge comments and I wouldn't approve of it if it happened. Until it DOES happen, that's a fantasy and I see no reason to dance around its vague possibility.

I paraphrased, named no one, and named no game. Who is being harmed here?

I'm not talking like vague stuff about "the algorithm" or "shadowbanning," though there are obviously suspect things you can draw from search results and view counts. I'm talking about things like the Workers' Party having their ad-buying account suspended on Facebook with no explanation.

The level of just blatant interference on the part of both Meta and X in Brazilian elections is staggering by the way. Like I don't know how to convey this without sounding tinfoil-hatty but it's insanely out in the open and obvious.

I feel genuinely really bad for the ppl at epic who I assume joined the company to do art and not to be an extension cable for a slop machine

it's not like "production values are higher" either, the students this year are taking some wild creative swings

one more igf comment - this is the best year we've ever had for student games, bar none. bar fucking NONE. I usually happen to play 1-2 student games I really like each year, this time I'm up to SEVEN

if you asked me to make a word cloud out of the 70 games I've played for igf so far it would probably be like, mystery horror computer-terminal metroidvania nostalgic roguelike deckbuilder

it's certainly possible it's all rotoscoped but oh boy is it the weirdest rotoscoping bash job I've ever seen in that case lmao

like okay yes faces of evil is known for bad animation. obviously it's weird as fuck. but also: look at the perspective on the cup when they zoom in here. They did NOT need to do this. they could have just drawn it bigger and phoned it in. this is someone, for some reason, caring a LOT

I feel like that would make it hard to explain impa's hands lmao
