These bastards will not stop until every hobby has to have government approval, government ID verification and constant surveillance on your actions at all costs to the dev. This is legitimately the most draconian piece of legislation I have ever seen in my life. EU peeps, please sign against this!

Just finished Star Wars Zero Company after 40ish hours and had a blast! It perfectly scratches that XCOM itch that I’ve been craving from a tactics game, has some very fun and witty writing and characters, and kept me hooked. I do wanna suggest some changes that I personally would like from it:

AI is the shovel that keeps letting scummy companies dig deeper and deeper under the bar when it was already on the ground. Actually fucking disgusting.

It's getting to the point where any AI related shit just ends up giving me a headache man. It's so exhausting to constantly see otherwise amazing projects poisoned by literal fucking snake oil that promises "vague efficiency" at the cost of integrity. I hate this timeline.

We didn’t need AI for asset creation just THREE YEARS AGO. Why do corporations have so little faith in their artists to the point where they have them use GenAI for the most simple shit? Cause this definitely feels like a “executive demanded we use AI” situation which is becoming really common.

Just got out of the TADC Finale and it was awesome! Genuinely don’t see what the problem is, seems like it’s just a bunch of people trying to rage bait. Is it perfect? Nah, I have a few tiny gripes but other than that the entire finale was stellar. As always, don’t listen to Twitter. Ever.

Hey so according to Mark, a PR Manager over at SE, no these shirts aren't AI. Which is a relief! I definitely thought they were when I first saw them. Seems like they're also gonna put together a post to credit the artists so that there's no further misunderstanding on this front.

ppl defending Xenosys aren't getting that Japan has been coming down HARD on cyber harassment and companies aren't fucking around anymore especially SE. SE got both a JP blogger and a JP content creator to shutdown, pull their content, and pay compensation for enabling harassment of SE employees.

I always find it funny when bigots go "but my freedom of speech!" and their usage of freedom of speech is racism, transphobia, mysogyny and other inane bs. You act like an asshole, you get treated like an asshole.

I think the US should actually enforce its already-existing price gouging laws and then enhance them by saying sites like eBay and StockX can’t charge more than 15% over RRP for electronics or clothes, with an embargo of two years. Scalping should be illegal

if you are mad, direct it at the square CEO and use it to fill the survey! there are plenty of folks who don't want to use ai with bosses who beat their employees over the head with it. it's good that koji pointed out he was forced to use it. now there is an opportunity to tell the CEO to fuck off ✌️

Honestly, the reaction to Koji using two AI images as a bit being so incredibly vitriolic is a good way to show people like Square's CEO that we will not tolerate it in any capacity in FF14. I do think that some of the reactions are going kinda far for such a small bit but that's just me.

Random thought I had and wanted to share: Do you think limiting speech through things like character limits caused more misunderstandings and therefore made social media more toxic? I dunno *why* I had this thought but sometimes I wonder how we got to this point of megathreads and context-lessness

I see a lot of people going “why not move the YouTube release to one day after the theatrical release?” That’s not how it works, the theaters agreed to a two week exclusivity period so that’s what they’re getting. If Glitch went back on that, they’d be in a whole heap of legal trouble.

I've pretty much always held a similar thought to this; artists who don't have worry about rent or food make better art when they're given the space and time to do their thing! Like, companies don't realize that letting artists MAKE ART is basically infinite money, if they pay them well.

Someone more knowledgable than me on all the GenAI BS that NVidia has been doing recently, does this actually mean anything or is this a massive technobabble word salad so they can try and pass off an AI filter as "the next step for gaming"?

God this AI shit is just giving me a headache at this point. They don't even realize that if we don't want to interact with something that has AI slop in it, we just...won't buy it. They cannot fathom us not spending our money on "shiny new product" it's insane to me.

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!
From the article: 
"I think that until the bubble bursts, AI will be used by quite a few game companies, and perhaps even beyond the bubble," says Brandon Sheffield of Necrosoft Games, which released the RPG Demonschool last year. "Look, I am not a fool – I understand that AI has some uses. Primary among those being the devaluing of work, the cheapening of labour, the laying off of creatives, and the generation of busywork for humans to fix whatever AI generates."

"It's also useful for burning through water, raising the prices of RAM and chipsets globally, and poisoning anyone near the data centres that run them. So there are a lot of use cases for AI. From spurring on the death of the creative endeavour to dissolving our economy, AI is absolutely gangbusters at what it does. We don't use it in our studio though."

I'm sure you've seen a lot of posts about cancelling Nitro (which you should do), but this should also be a wakeup call to move whatever notes, wikis, or information in general off of Discord servers. The fact that they can just pull shit like this should tell you that that info can easily be lost.

This whole Larian situation is just tiring. Like, yeah, there’s probably a good/ethical way to use GenAI in game development but a) no one knows what the hell it is and b) all AI does to your game right now is casts doubt on your product. I hope Larian reassesses or fully reveals their workflow.

Thinking about this for no particular reason, but I find the argument for AI being “everyone’s using it! Or they will!” when responding to complaints about it so funny because if that was actually the case, and every company WAS using it… You wouldn’t have to shout it from the rooftops, would you?

Honestly, the best thing they *could* do for the Mass Effect TV show is not re-tell Sheppard's story and instead set it after the original ME trilogy. This has me *tentatively* optimistic for this TV show! If they go for something like TLOU where it expands the lore more, even better! #N7Day

I wish the BF6 campaign had more time to cook honestly. Like, the concepts that the game plays with in the story are genuinely interesting! Pax Armata is an interesting idea! The actual explanation? Ehhhhh...not amazing. It's a bombastic "explosions, set pieces, patriotism!" campaign with 1/2
