What the fuck

I was expecting this to be like, at least a decade older too

(shared AI video of the Teletubbies eating a hiker that wandered into their territory)

Okay so it turns out that video was fake, but it resonated because this kind of stuff happens every day

"I think the video game industry, as we know it today, might not be around for much longer [...] but I think video games as an art form and as a product are stronger than they've ever been and will only continue to be."

YOU WOULD DOWNLOAD A CAR

That's an incredible misreading of why artists are citing copyright when they charge Gen AI with stealing their content?

they have an issue with *how* copyright is applied & benefits skew towards corpos rather than individuals, not with copyright law itself.

Have you seen Everything is A Remix?

The reason techbros will never actually understand human intelligence is because understanding wont make you a god. When you truly “get it” you realize…aint no way we are engineering this. They dont want to believe that, and lack the humility to see it. THEY are the ones who believe in magic.

SWEET MOTHER OF MERCY I MEAN, MY GOD

Putting far more effort into this than I reasonably should tbh

Here's how we handle manchildren on the Steam forums at No More Robots:

Stick Death was definitely a big early one for me

Well of Despair 💀👻🦇

The idea that rejecting the insane philosophy that this technology will save society, let alone benefit it in any meaningful way, let alone avoid doing MASSIVE damage, is fucking bigoted of all things, is so god damn stupid. Seriously, you aren't educating or convincing anyone. Fuck off

I'm not "dismissive" of Generative AI and LLMs, I am genuinely hostile towards it, anyone who supports expanding it, and anyone who thinks it will save us. It is the single greediest, short sighted, absurd and stupidest business trend I have ever seen in my life.

It is entirely possible for certain people
to be dicks about dismissing AI, and for the technology to still largely be a colossal waste of energy and effort in pursuit of a pipe dream that is likely impossible and may kill us all in the process. That doesn't make anti-AI people "bigots" you dolt

I realized I’ve been sort of mourning the internet lately. It’s odd. This ‘place’ that used to contain a wealth of actually valuable information, and introduced me to many people I now call friends, and which paved the way for my career, has almost completely rotted away. It’s not coming back.

GUY WHO JUST CAME BACK FROM DOING THE JABBA'S PALACE COMEDY FESTIVAL:

You know, I gotta say they're really great in there, they're just like us. I thought it was only gonna be women in chains and a trapdoor monster they feed slaves to but like, they also have a band that plays cool music.

Can't say I care anymore, maybe Sucker Punch should stick by their artists

Once again, this perfect @zeboydgames.bsky.social post comes to mind:

Tell me with a straight face he's wrong here

Scores seem almost irrelevant reviewing a game like this, I don't envy critics on this one

The games are near perfect in my eyes, and didn't even really need many QoL updates

But for that price, some extra materials akin to a Digital Eclipse release would have infinitely helped value proposition

I was really happy that Nintendo wasn't making this exclusive to the Switch 2 (shows how little I expect from them) but that price is crazy.... They were charging $20 for these on the Wii U!

No, they're in Saudi Arabia and Tom Segura is going to kill them, can't you read

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

My Thoughts on the Riyadh Comedy Festival I’ve been asked for my opinion on the Riyadh Comedy Festival and rather than answer the same question 23 times, I’ll just put this out here. Oh, and I should preface this with the fact that I was not ...

why doesn’t the viral post on here that screen caps David Cross’s Riyadh post also link to it officialdavidcross.com/blogs/press/...

The ad reads CAN A COMPUTER MAKE YOU CRY? There’s a photo of all of the early game designers on the facing page, all of them wearing all black and looking very serious. Link to full text because it won’t fit here: https://www.chrishecker.com/Can_a_Computer_Make_You_Cry%3F

if you simply do not like the vibe on this website, that's fine. i'm not a big fan of the "open cesspool of neo-nazis" vibe on X: The Everything App. but this ideologically-driven desire to present every person who uses this app as hysterical and unreasonable is kind of pathetic
