Any games journalists covering the Timberborn TikTok AI Ad story? (Apparently TikTok produced Generative AI marketing assets for Timberborn as part of their advertising campaign without the developers knowledge or consent) Statement from Comms Manager on Reddit:

u/Mechanistry_Miami
Comms Manager
"Alright, it looks like TikTok changed how ads work and they now auto-generate AI ads as part of the campaign, which we were not aware of. We only selected the 1.1 trailer to be used in the ad campaign - like we did for the past few updates - and we were not aware that AI slop would be tacked on top of that. There were no AI ads shown to us in a visible way or presented for our approval before the campaign, just silently generated and ran in the background.

All ads were now disabled. We sincerely apologize for this oversight - this was not intended."

It has to be dynamic pricing or something because that order this person mentions is literally available for $9 in my area (and it has more food)

Hey Sluggo, I got an idea for a professional wrestler called the Boogeyman, he's kinda spooky, but I don't know how to amp up his presentation

Not quite a post but a quote from an interview Eric Bischoff did with Lucha Libre Online, it's such pure unadulterated hater shit, and I have to applaud it

"It comes back to the only guy I've ever really enjoyed firing. I mean, put a smile on my face. In this moment, when you ask me that question, I'm getting goosebumps, I'm beginning to smile from ear to ear because I had to fire the Honky Tonk Man. I would fire The Honky Tonk Man every single day of every single year for the rest of my life, and I would get just as much joy."

Not a strawman when there's evidence, bud. Take care.

A post from @beastlyboysghost.bsky.social

"If this is genocide, Lebanon's Christians are complicit: Can't spin this:"

Followed by an excerpt from an Associated Press Article:

"With the Israeli airstrikes and ground invasion mainly targeting Shiite areas, U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Issa, a Lebanese-American, was criticized for stoking sectarianism. He told reporters in late March that the U.S. had asked Israel for a commitment that Christian villages in Southern Lebanon will not be attacked.

'We have asked the Israelis to leave Christian villages in the south alone and they told us they will not touch Christian villages,' Issa said. However he added 'They (Israelis) said that they cannot guarantee" that the villages would be left alone "if there is infiltration into these villages" by Hezbollah members.'

Oh the gambling-like satisfies those two conditions, wouldn't that be wild if that were also true for ANY GAME A HUMAN BEING HAS ENJOYED

Paul Kilduff-Taylor, CEO of publisher Mode 7, voiced measured concern last year that gambling’s UX and mechanical influence risks nudging games towards becoming “an economic engine to extract time, attention and money from players.” Speaking with TWIV, he agrees with Dr Brock. Publishers like Mode 7 look for ‘attraction’, elements to draw players in, and ‘retention,’ to keep them playing. The gambling-like amply satisfies both criteria, with a distinct hook suited to clippable short-form video content.

How the fuck are you comparing Disco Elysium dice rolls to people spending REAL HUMAN MONEY on cosmetics? It's at best sloppy writing and at worst a gross mischaracterization of what "risk" is in the contexts of gambling, in some misguided attempt to claim a fictitious moral high ground
