look lads. the newswire burst that Xbox CEO Asha Sharma spends "hours" responding to CS tickets - whether true or not - is low hanging corporate propaganda. throw that shit in the trash. it's an insult to your intelligence.

Just experienced a crack in matrix as I am at a random resort with a shitty (not smart) tv flipping through channels and just happened to randomly see @danryckert.com on this show. Did a double take for real.

A new GTA and a remake of Ocarina of Time is the most insane combo to bring out the worst takes of all time.

Gamescom AI Slop Thread. Every game from the Gamescom Opening Ceremonies that was actually AI Slop so you don't have to care about it.

Any talk I hear about Elder Scrolls 6 baffles me. It is like everyone forgot they did not start working on this game until AFTER Starfield. 3-4 years is not near enough time for them to make a new Elder Scrolls from the ground up.

Too many people use "no ethical consumption under capitalism" as an excuse to not make any changes and continue to support horrible companies/practices. This means everything they say is just virtue signaling since they won't actually take any action on their beliefs.

It’s not that they don’t know games are made by people. It’s that they desperately wish they didn’t have to be and want a world where “people-made games” are boutique experiences alongside the yearly factory-made money producers that the C-suite doesn’t think needs artistry.

The plan to save Xbox includes firing talent from THE NEXT ELDER SCROLLS. Arguably the only game that could stand up to the hype of a GTA 6. The fuck are they doing?? If anything you should be adding talent/funding to this team.

Fuck people who say video games can’t be art. Video games are very much art. The way I see art it’s facet of creation and pouring you emotions into a piece of work. There are many games out there where people poured their soul into it and take the medium to new heights.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder

“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Someone really just told me I had a “stupid take” for disliking Larian using generative AI for concept art. So in case you were wondering where we are really at with AI. People are supportive of it now.

Creatives can make stuff however they like, but for me, games and films using GenAI is identical to finding an insect in my meal -- it immediately kills my appetite for a great dish, I don't really care how it got there, and it's effortless to eat somewhere else.

Using gen ai for text and asset placeholders is not solving a problem; games have been made for decades with regular placeholders. studios using AI this way are just testing the water to see what more they can get away with - which will inevitably mean laying off skilled workers, to make worse games

My prediction for the game awards is we get new Divinity, AC Black Flag remaster/remake, and FF7 Remake part 3 as the “big” announcements. And then the whole internet will be pissed there wasn’t Elder Scrolls or Half Life 3 and that the game awards suck.

Trump ran for president in 2016 to try to avoid criminal charges against him in connection to Epstein. Investigators have had files proving their connection since 2015 from the Giuffre case. People have been sitting on this and protecting Trump for a decade.
