fujoshi yoda: hmmmmm?

Front facing bust drawing of Lebanne (Pokemon Legends Z-A) holding up a notepad and looking at the viewer. Her head is tilted to the right with a distressed expression. She states: "Besides, I lost my dragon fangs a long time ago." However, the notepad states: "Jacinthe is listening" This is a reference to the Chainsaw Man manga panel with Kishibe's "Makima is listening"

[ Pokemon Legends Z-A x Chainsaw Man ]

Lebanne has a totally NOT unnerving conversation with Ivor about her servitude to Jacinthe 😃

maybe we could use another splash screen.

Ask literally any voice actor if they get royalties from the video games they worked on.

They will tell you no. They might even laugh.

Now imagine any developer actively trying to use AI VO to save money wanting to offer something like that.

Gosh it's been awhile since I've trotted this out: #KnowingSmile

"This use of GenAI is fine because VAs signed contracts to relinquish their rights".

Well yeah, have you seen what happens to those who don't want to sign off on this? Can you really call that consent when the alternative is losing (or never getting) a job?

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.

Players of the beta for upcoming Hoyo title Petit Planet have noticed there’s an AI chatbot featured and at least one barista NPC whose dialogue is generated by AI

Fans of their titles are defending it saying “this is a good use of AI” and “you can’t stop AI at this point.”

This is from the TOS:

What it feels like to watch Democrats constantly cave to Republicans. @teamfourstar.bsky.social @kaiserneko.bsky.social

So, we broke into your house and stole all your stuff, please give us money.

thats nuts

U.S. Patent Office Boss Orders Reexamination of Nintendo’s Controversial “Summon Character and Let It Fight” Pokémon Patent

The director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has ordered a reexamination of a Pokémon patent that revolves around summoning a character and letting it fight, which could affect to Nintendo's ongoing litigation with Pocketpair's Palworld. bit.ly/4hJTZ7c

graha dancing through life (wicked)

Every time I post "the VO industry has monsters that will literally hide under your bed and eat your face while you sleep" I stop to think maybe I'm complaining for no good reason but then inevitably half a dozen VAs will reply "can confirm, they ate my face" and it's like, oh dear it's justified.

Beginning to wonder if the Nobel Peace Prize can ever recover from this.

elon musk: people in the uk live like hobbits. um let’s look at you for a second bro

I’ve seen several popular VAs now using AI openly and then scoffing when initially called out (“don’t be scared, this is a good thing”) and then hastily deleting their posts when it becomes clear folks disagree.

So you can imagine, as can I, how many are *quietly* endorsing it to avoid backlash.

If your attitude as a creative professional is “AI is here to stay,” I hope you recognize that because of this attitude - as a creative - you soon won’t be.

I don't take leaks as gospel but if this happens, y'all better show that your support of trans folk isn't purely performative and doesn't end at fucking Fortnite

An illustration of Metal Sonic and Rusty Rose, along with various other robotic Sonic characters (Belle [SONIC IDW], Sage, Omega, Bokkun [SONIC X], Bocoe [SONIC X], Decoe [SONIC X], Chaos Sonic [SONIC PRIME], Orbot, Cubot, Gemerl, Scratch [AoStH], Grounder [AoStH], Coconuts [AoStH], Tails Doll, and a guest character, Mega Man!) touring France, currently near the world famous Eiffel Tower. They're all dressed up and ready to have some fun with the whole robot fam! Metal Sonic has the most focus, giving a thumbs up to the viewer's POV.
