Tbf, Heinrich Himmler himself wasn't anything impressive either. Dude apparently would faint at the sight of blood.

It is hard to emphasize enough how much Americans CANNOT READ and LITERALLY do not know what your post said before they reply to you. They have no skill for figuring out what you ACTUALLY said. They think this is how everybody experiences reading.

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

You Can't Report on Hunger While Taking Bread Off the Table On the proliferation of machine translation in video game outlets covering the effects of AI on labor.

I wrote more words about how it feels to be a translator watching the games press report on AI and labor, coming from a field that's fought these battles for decades. It may look like I'm beating up on one outlet, but it's not about them; I've been trying to write this for me and my peers all year.

Panel 1: Shen is looking very closely at a leaf with a ladybug on it. He is happily saying "Oh if only I was a little ladybug."

Panel 2: Shen looking up at the sky, his hands clasped in front of him, both the background and his seemingly pearlescent eyes full of sparkles at light. He blushes and says "How whimsical life would be! How free of care!"

Panel 3: Closeup on the ladybug from the side, as it thinks "If I don't eat like 50 aphids and have sex right now I'm gonna kill myself."

Just an update for the channel. As of April, I had no more professional ties to Sai Scribbles, and as of two days ago, no personal ties either.

She has come increasingly under fire for comments, and more stuff has come to light that, honestly, I should have seen sooner but didn't. Regardless, I can't in good conscious affiliate with her.

I had been increasingly exhausted with her behavior and how I was often left mediating between her and others. I thought I was trying to help and educate, but it sounds like it appeared to many as justifying her actions. I take accountability for my failure on that part. I don't want any part in what she's doing. And I just am increasingly tired of it all.

I feel like my trust and good faith has been taken advantage of.

Please do not harass her. Do not harass her fans. Just leave everything regarding her be.

Always ask artists for permission rather than forgiveness because we have really long memories and a bottomless capacity for both incredible generosity and incredible pettiness.

This feature is so infuriating for the extra angle that Youtube is proving that they absolutely have the tech for multiple audio tracks, like a lot of people have been begging for forever; but itโ€™s used for a purpose that I have not seen work once in a pleasing way. Every one of these AI dubs sucks.

That would still require both people to get over the $100 USD hurdle to buy the game and for there to be far more PS5's & XBox Series X's than there are. And I don't think those issues will easily be fixed.

It's in the industry's best interest for Nintendo to lose its patent battle | Opinion Nintendo has overreached with its attempts to patent basic gameplay mechanisms โ€“ it needs to rein in its lawyers before they do more damage

Nintendo has overreached with its attempts to patent basic gameplay mechanisms, which could damage key industry partners and risk Nintendo being "seen as unreliable or dishonest by patent authorities," says Rob Fahey.
