why is he looking the other way

anybody got some good clips of creators reacting negatively to AI? I'm specifically looking for stuff that represents the sort of current despair over the idea that it's threatening to render art and artists meaningless (it's for a good cause I promise)

Hello Internet World!

It's not about hateful replies, it's about upsetting people in the first place

I mean yeah it's not one to one, I'm moreso just pointing to how unquestionably righteously good the UNSC is portrayed, how America-coded they are, and how Chief is never wrong about anything ever

still cannot fucking believe they got away with this

its so fucking funny how cortana became more and more a sex symbol with every game from 1-4 at the same time that they kept trying to flesh out her character

A WORTHY AND BRAVE SACRIFICE FOR THE GOOD OF MANKIND 🦅🎆✊🔫💥🦅🫡

what's interesting is that halo 2's commentary on religious indoctrination is EXTREMELY 9/11 brained and also the only interesting thing the games ever explored before Halo 3 dropped the ball and made it fucking boring again lol

I hate to say it, but halo's narrative was never really about much other than nationalism, patriotism, and spectacle, and so I can't say I'm shocked that it's being used in the way that it is right now

your regular reminder that this company can get straight in the fuckin bin

ty for the feedback passing this on to my team

addendum!

competent but really annoying. guilty of all the same issues CE 2026 is guilty of, but to a lesser degree. its greatest sin is reinterpreting things like forerunner design through halo 5's lens rather than something more faithful

(and the shoehorned halo 5 story of course)

@gamedesigndan.bsky.social hope you dont mind me quoting you but you went kind of crazy spitting true yesterday

YouTube video by Instant Noodle They're remaking Halo (again)...

I think a fundamental problem here, and why people are bouncing off, is that the new, too sleek, too polished visuals don't take me back to the original, or even look how I pictured them in my mind's eye. They severe me from that and remind me that it's 2025. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUvS...

Yeah bro you got to use your environment to do fancy kills to get points to buy more bullets to do more fancy shit

I guess "wow you really could just say a lot of unacceptable shit in the 2010s" counts as a takeaway but you know. Average 360 game moment

LOVE THIS

currently playing bulletstorm and my one major takeaway so far is that infinite's grapple hook is not as novel as I thought it was

I was super guilty of this until speaking to someone who's suffered from schizophrenia. Had no idea how hurtful it was! Wish more people knew about this one

OMG YOURE SO RIGHT ITS THIS AND AUTISM
