No way, that’s awesome man. Do you still play?

Announcing Marathon's English voice cast. Marathon releases March 5, 2026 and is available for pre-order now.

Survey is down now, come on you cowards

Not quite the same, but I’m still surprised at Metaphor’s decision to add Basilio at like 70 hours in. You *know* one of the bros is coming but it comes late!

Ripping tracks you should be proud!

I thought you said existential BREAD and you know what, hell yeah

“villains need to be complex” I mean yes but also sometimes it’s fun to just have a guy who fucking sucks

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

🧵⬇️

Hell yeah, do it

Boooooo

This is so fuckin’ bad man help

Final Fantasy X, LOTR, and the first Raimi Spider-Man all releasing in a 6 month window changed kid-me’s brain chemistry

Thermite Rifle one of the best combat game mechanics ever don’t @ me

Absolutely wild that even X-2 and XIII are still in line with the other entries in the series with male protagonists

We didn’t have the tech for custom ship audio until I saw this bad boy, and you better believe we then figured out a way to make it happen 😂 How could you *not?* Enjoy it!

In one sentence he pans criticism of AI as ‘speculative,’ in the next he speculates without providing any evidence that it *won’t* put voice actors out of work. 10/10 spin

Embark has been intentionally *very* vague on all aspects surrounding this. I wonder the same thing.

“Little” win? That is a massive W congrats!!!

For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

Our review: https://bit.ly/49bVn01

AI generated content disclosure via Arc Raider's Steam page: The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: During the development process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

A lot of it improv too! Love when the devs trust the voice director to facilitate that and just get a bunch of wilds, makes it feel real.

Oh HELL yeah

@nadiaudio.bsky.social does

Please also send me your SSN and mother’s maiden name. This is NOT a scam I promise.

We saw a few here today in Seattle too, and Vought too! You love to see it.

Gamefreak getting game freaky with it

Okay scratch that, comedy is so back

You can’t write comedy better than reality anymore, I mean
