kinda feels like the year's already getting packed with Just Fun games with it and hifi rush coming out so close together

Pushing my own joke off the page but I feel obligated to show the game I actually mentioned as opposed to the crappy one from the xbox b game era lol

gungrave gore looked like a decent throwback in trailers as well and turned out atrocious so I’m tempering my expectations

it would be nice if that generation of mid-tier action game became trendy again though

i genuinely cannot remember the last time my PC had an optical drive, although that might be a consequence of me doing my own builds and it not being on the recommended parts list

it's always kinda mindblowing thinking about the pace of technological change, to the point where disc media has mostly vanished and video chat just unceremoniously became A Thing at some point after being a far future scifi staple for decades

besides the above, there are a number of idiots who think that if bots take over commercial art, then artists will be free to make whatever art they want. how will they pay rent? don't worry about that. the government will surely establish UBI once they see how many jobs are taken by AI. time to eat more rocks

they're either singularity morons seeing it as a stepping stone on the road to AI divinity, or people who understand that the ability to do with some computers what currently requires huge teams of people is a big cost-cutting measure that would make them instant billionaires if they were the first to the finish line

lol, so it was actually made by true believers, that explains how they supposedly spent four years making it - probably intended as a proof of concept or pitch for a bigger project.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

That is one hell of a trailer. Wish there was some gameplay though.

Alas, Faux-Seinfeld, it was fun.


Isn't the point of that great AI dream or whatever is that the AI does all the boring menial work, leaving more room for us to do the fun stuff, like create art?

I can only assume the true motivation is making the megamillions or whatever.

In short:

Right, even if the AI were somehow suddenly human level writer, an infinite TV show just sounds like really bad TV. Shows can already go on for too many seasons or episodes as it is.

You can already see it not working with the Seinfeld thing, very disjointed, inability to remember events or things going on, haven't even programmed in a rule of three because it doesn't understand anything.

Because they have no respect for art, they just see it as a capitalist venture. They want to lower the cost of production while simultaneously massively increasing the output, quality is not important to them.

Tea is infinitely better if it's made with the water at the right temperature and steeps for the right amount of time (which is largely a matter of preference!).

Naturally, I mostly just have peppermint tea which is best with the hottest water my kettle makes, and can steep for any amount of time because it just gets more minty instead of bitter like black teas. It's perfect for my ADHD rear end brain, cause I just let the electric kettle go til I remember what I was doing, then let it sit til I once again remember what I was doing, and sometimes I happen to remember when it's at the perfect temperature to chug the whole mug and everything feels great.

There was an opinion piece published in NYT or WP or whatever written by a tech bro who said that AI art is gonna put entitled artists in their place and allow everyone access to their privileged way of life or some bullshit so at least some of it is nerds who couldn't even hack it at drawing so they developed complexes and want to get rich while getting their revenge for when a classmate drew a really good Twilight Sparkle and impressed the girl they liked in 6th grade.
