Big yikes.

Can we normalize having the cool part of the shirt design on the front because my hair or hoodie always hides the back

Let's hope that things are good this year. Not great. Good.

Ayo?????

Fair enough.

Happy Sunday. Never give up against the monsters. And always save the cat.

Oh that makes it even better.

Interesting idea.

Bingo is fun. My mother plays a local bingo game for liquor store gift cards. 😆

If you have proof of it still being in the game, by all means share it. As of now, the only instance of it someone noticed was in newspapers/flyers at the start of the game.

Which was noticed back in June, stated as being placeholders by the dev team, and removed.

So take the bridge and shove it.

"Generative AI wasn't very good in 2022 and no one expected it would turn out the way it did. The assets somehow made it into the initial release and were patched out soon after. They aren't in the present game and, even when they were in the game, they were a very minor detail in a short segment."

Some more context.

"Back in 2022, when public-facing AI image generation was basically brand-new, a couple of developers made some placeholder assets to be used in the introduction (some of the random flyers you see around the city) to try out this new toy."

Yes so many people cared about a random newspaper with an AI texture.

Oh by the way! Its come out that Blue Prince has also made use of AI in their game. I assume you're going to strip them of their award now as well???

That's a wishlist.

It was literally patched dude. Yes they admitted to using it and then patched it out because it wasn't intended to be there.
You go keep attacking the indie studio captain hairloss. You're such a big tough guy. Keep up the work.

Why the fuck would I want a personal cameo, weirdo? Yes they openly admitted to using it as a placeholder. Which has since been removed.

Go save your energy for a company that deserves it.

Maybe take your own advice, Captain Hairloss.

Yeah. That tracks. Rather then focus on companies intentionally using AI for harm, go after the indie studio that used it as a placeholder.

Except it wasn't intentional. It was placeholder art from Unity they didn't realize was AI generated. It was removed. Obviously it wouldn't have been removed if it was meant to be there. I'm defending then studio. Not the AI.

Outside of the fact it's doesn't share art style, combat, or any mechanics with FFVII Remake, sure. 😆

Silksong is just stand alone DLC for Hollow Knight. It was only so popular because 90% of the internet wouldn't shut the hell up about it for a decade.

Nope. They didn't wait. It was known about and people just ignored it. They aren't "bad guys" for using placeholders.

Wasn't "suspected". It was known within days of the games release they had used AI placeholders, which have since been replaced with the original art meant to be used.

How pathetic. E33 was known to have used AI back in June, it was a placeholder and has since been removed. The fact you guys didn't research it beforehand is embrassing.

I've never heard of this award show before and its already a joke. 😆
