if steam is asking developers to put in an AI-generated content disclosure, i should be able to filter those "games" out of searches because trudging through next fest demos is miserable now

amyrlinn's review of Final Fantasy XI: Seekers of Adoulin | Backloggd suffers from the thing a lot of ffxi expansions do, where the story doesn't really Get Going until almost near the end, but i had a good time watching arciela and her ball of leaves brother do stuff. ...

seekers of adoulin done. prishe is still my favorite protag but arciela is definitely a close second now backloggd.com/u/amyrlinn/r...

The Norwegian slalom guy beefing his run and then immediately taking off his skis and marching off the course into the woods to lie down is an incredible moment

a google slide screenshot.

This is the "try not to spoil things" courtesy slide

(photo of JFK in his motorcade with Jackie O, just before his assassination; the silhouette of a gunman has been photoshopped into the foreground with the image of a Kacheek from Neopets on the head.)

If you say something like β€œAre you gonna cover the time that Neopets killed JFK?” it spoils, for the audience and my co-hosts, that Neopets killed JFK. Assume I’m going to cover it, please

A year ago at my Neopets School slideshow presentation, I had a bit about "Neopets killing JFK" hoping it was so far removed from reality it would be an obvious joke. Today, on President's Day, Neopets released a sniper rifle filter that allows me to recreate the JFK assassination. #neopets

amyrlinn's review of The Forgotten City | Backloggd really, really cool concept. time loop but you keep your items and can influence stuff right from the start is awesome. i had a lot of fun playing this game and theorizing how to solve the loop and sa...

backloggd.com/u/amyrlinn/r... forgotten city beaten as well. this review seems pretty simple because it's a pretty simple game, but very fun to engage with and be immersed in.

amyrlinn's review of Final Fantasy XI: Treasures of Aht Urhgan | Backloggd probably the worst expac i've done so far. i wasn't a huge fan of the story and how it didn't really start moving until thirty missions in, and the cutscenes felt like they draaaaaaaaagged on. also no...

treasure of aht urhgan done. not really my fave expac, i liked chains and rhapsodies a lot more. not much else to say backloggd.com/u/amyrlinn/r...

the dev is Brazilian but also the game in question is a casual incremental farm sim, so the post doesn't even make sense

i feel comfortable putting this on blast because i did some digging and a) the game in question is not at all like this post describes b) i think this is just a bot that's trying to karma farm off a recently released game?

so reddit's been doing these stupid fuckass "user summary" ai-generated notes on people's profiles, which is stupid to begin with, but it just generated one that said "the user's post on r/speedrun is well-written" and the post in question was clearly written by ai lmfao
