It literally has a disclosure on its Steam page. It didn't "slip through", man. You tried to charge people for a thing that's got slop in it and they're mad.

I have an extension to add a pop-up on the Steam page for it but I really think it should be by default top-of-page.

Good morning

Folks, a famous author isn't ever going to contact you out of the blue to offer you literary services. It's always a scam. Also, speaking as an at least semifamous author, you wouldn't want any services we did offer, we're just barely handling our own shit, much less anyone else's.

I will say I'm seeing less from some I follow lately - 'bot posts quotes from media you like' e.g.

...but that shortcoming seems to have been filled with a charity 'gaming' (variety entertainment, really) marathon that started Friday, so it's hard to tell.

just saw the worst gaming ad ive ever seen

It is very funny that this Pope is just going to get jerseys from now on. Everyone decided that's what this Pope likes and that is it. It's like if your grandmother got you a puzzle for Christmas one year and you said you liked it so your entire extended family is like "oh that's the puzzle kid"

Just to pick up on this:

One reason my mates and i loved playing Star Wars as kids was BECAUSE it threw out all these references to events that weren't explained.

We were used to adults around us doing that IRL about WW2 or whatever. So it didn't feel weird. It made the universe feel REAL.

Problem: Nyx 1 has no core.

ULTRA METAL SOLUTION: Burrow a hole to the core with giant orbital laser. Then hurl a metallic asteroid into the core. Finally, using that same laser, melt the asteroid int a new metal core.

Is it realistic? No. Is it cool 80's sci-fi? Yes! #StarCitizen

For fuck’s sake.

100% said this and feel free to quote me on it. Also @jackiekashian.bsky.social is a fantastic comedian and you should see her when she comes to your town.

Happens so much in gaming now. Yes, video games have always adopted new tech, and AI like machine learning has been a part of that. Hell, Rogue used generative algorithms in the 80s.

But the use of GenAI in gaming is new, and quite different. Although companies using it love to say it isn't.

Bricky 🧱 on X: "I finished the entire BLOPS 7 campaign, asked for a refund and Valve granted it to me. I wrote: "The game constantly utilized AI generated options that were not present in the marketing for the game as well as videos and screenshots of the material." Shocked they did TBH https://t.co/rbOeq3Yo8A" / X I finished the entire BLOPS 7 campaign, asked for a refund and Valve granted it to me. I wrote

Someone completed the campaign and then asked for a refund complaining about 'AI bait-and-switch', and VALVe didn't even blink before granting the refund, problably because the BlOps7 campaign is so short they never got close to Steam's 'total time played' cut-off...

A series of social media posts: first with the picture of a 'housewares tchotchke' - a wood plank sing with the word PARIS painted on it with the letters made up of streetnames and sites and streets from that city, but the 'I' is represented by the Eiffel Tower, making the word look more like "PARAS" and the caption: "If only there was a letter in PARIS that resembles the Eiffel Tower" then a reply to this post of "Paras is lovely this time of year" and finally another reply with the picture of a Pokemon - presumably named Paras - saying 'bonjour'
