I really wish FFXIV's housing was more like Runescape's. Getting a house sucks IRL, why make it just as miserable in my viyda game?

Everytime I go back to XIV, I quickly remember how disappointing it is to examine someone's glamour, just to look it up and find it's another cash shop item.

Don't know if folks forgot or if most are just not aware. But I've been seeing an alarming amount of Ubisoft praise on Bluesky since Gamescom. All I ask is that you're aware of what you're supporting. #Ubisoft #Rayman #Gamescom
Collection of headlines from the past few years, highlighting:
-Ubisoft's toxic work culture
-Its higherups protecting abusers
-Ubisoft closing a studio right after unionizing
-Ubisoft going all in on generative AI
-Ubisoft pushing for microtransactions and players no longer owning the games they buy
-Ubisoft partnering with ModRetro to make Rayman stuff. Modretro is a company from Palmer Luckey (self proclaimed 'radical Zionist' and weapons manufacturer)

Could streamers on Twitch get in trouble for not opting out of the A.I. training thingy? Think about it, if a streamer is opted in and shares something that has strict rules against being used to train A.I., then wouldn't the streamer being violating potential TOS of the thing they shared?

@shapemover.bsky.social Hi! If it's no problem, could I ask some questions about your work on the Spamton Sweepstakes page? I want to know about how you made/where you got 90's esque assets that were used. Like the scuffed 3D gifs and clipart-type stuff.

What scares me more than AI is human apathy. The silence from and unwillingness to stand up for others is a cause for so, so many of our problems.

Fuck off, no it isn't. Stop throwing translators under the bus.
Overall I was surprised by how many of these 120 games use generative AI for music and assets. I had assumed that the vast majority would be for translation and store page images.

(the following is underlined in the image)

The former raises quality control questions and is obviously a disaster for actual humans who are employed to translate games, but it's arguably less egregious compared to machine-made music, textures and narrative.

Part of being an AI user in creative works is convincing yourself that everyone ELSE uses it too, because otherwise you have to confront the reality that you're a faker and a fraud

Instagram post from Loryn Brantz. Text reads,

I am horrified and disgusted by BuzzFeed taking my character, The Good Advice Cupcake, and giving it to an Al platform. My time at BuzzFeed was marked by continually being taken advantage of and lied to. They repeatedly assured me in good faith that they would never do anything with Cuppy without my input, yet offered me no legal options, insisting that I would never need them. The news that this character, who is based on my own personality and whom I created as a microphone to spread love and positivity, has been taken and turned into a soulless Al puppet feels like having my intestines pulled out of my body.
Somebody leaked the news to me early on that there were talks happening, and I pleaded with the CEO Jonah Peretti directly not to do it. Instead, he tried to talk me into signing an NDA. Obviously, I did not.
This is an assault on artists everywhere.
I encourage you to boycott BuzzFeed and any Al-produced or adjacent animation.

We need more invite-only websites. Imagine a YouTube alternative version of VGen, where only invited people could upload. Same for Twitch. A lot less slop that way.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
Rude
Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose.
