Me when I'm Learning Unreal to get ready to make content for Halo 7, again probably for free, despite Halo Studios taking a massive shit all over some of my friends and demonstrably being poor tenants of the franchise.

I'm rather old testament when it comes to text | VC in video games. The only real argument here is that Marathon is technically T and not M so i can see some report infra being required. for games Rated M i dont think you should get your software license revoked for saying bad words.

@TheManDocSmurf There is a line though. Some slurs would likely be against platform rules. So not having a vehicle to deliver bans is a missed step.

Hardcore PvP Video games are not made for this kind of person. Nor Should they make changes based on their feedback.

@TheTacoTim You claim to have grown up in the days of halo 2 / 3 prox chat but you strike me as a huge pussy. If you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen.

We need protections as players. Bungie please let us Mute/Report people in Marathon for some of the horrific things they are saying I get that Prox chat wasn't initially intended for release, but there needs to be repercussions for those who are hateful, racist, homophobic, or in some cases, sexually harassing and stream sniping other players #marathon

@harveyldj93 @M0ETHM @menkarfogrolls @MCFCDamo @LundukeJournal So they can ban people which isn't the same as enforcing the fine. Got it. you're retarded

@TheManDocSmurf @M0ETHM @menkarfogrolls @MCFCDamo @LundukeJournal Reread the thread bro.

The United Kingdom has demanded that 4chan pay a £520,000 fine for failure to comply with UK age verification laws. However, since 4chan is based in the USA, the UK has no jurisdiction to fine Americans in America. “As has been explained to your agency, ad nauseam, the United Kingdom lost the American Revolutionary War. We are not in the mood to discuss the matter further, and have not been in the mood for 250 years.” The letter to the UK’s Ofcom ended by suggesting that “maybe, you could just stop sending Americans stupid letters and acknowledge the sovereignty of the United States.” 4chan’s attorney, @prestonjbyrne also included a picture of a giant hamster dressed as Godzilla.

@harveyldj93 @M0ETHM @menkarfogrolls @MCFCDamo @LundukeJournal Since you seem to know everything by what international statue or enforcement mechanism is the UK going to pull that money from 4chan.LLC

@TheManDocSmurf @M0ETHM @menkarfogrolls @MCFCDamo @LundukeJournal It's in the thread pal.

@harveyldj93 @M0ETHM @menkarfogrolls @MCFCDamo @LundukeJournal ... yes but they can't ENFORCE the fine. they have no power to extract that money from 4chan lol

@M0ETHM @menkarfogrolls @MCFCDamo @LundukeJournal It's been said 3 times above, but to make it easier. Block their access to the UK. Quite simple.

You appear to have brain damage. If i drive a car from Ohio to Illinois to get a sandwich and drive back to Ohio with my food I have done business in Illinois not Ohio. If i make a web request to the US and then exfiltrate data from the US to the UK i have transacted in the US. the fact we are connected by roads [ or in this case fiber] is entirely irrelevant. The server is in the Fucking US.

@menkarfogrolls @LundukeJournal It's absolutely the same legally. You are providing goods or services into that country. That's literally how the law sees it, pretty much everywhere in the world.

@rand_longevity Boldly asserted glittering generalities and blanket statements are a far better bellwether.

hating on AI is a sign of low IQ

There is no such thing as a "private" business. Every single private entity benefits from government programs of some kind funded by the taxpayer. The people have a stake in every American business in some form. Tax credits, deductions, or exemptions. Subsidies / Low-interest loans or guarantees / Government contracts / Bailouts or industry-specific support. Any company not following the spirit of the constitution including the first amendment deserves boycott and scorn from the people after receiving all that help. That's what people are talking about when they point out anti American behavior and censorship from "private" industry.

Interestingly, social media is not a space in which "free speech" applies, citizen. You should read that constitution again, perhaps you went too fast the first time. President Trump is a part of the federal government, though, which IS a space where "free speech" applies. And @_cingraham is absolutely right: Trump has zero respect for the Constitution and anything in it, and has been trampling the 1st amendment with both of his swollen, unsophisticated feet since day 1. For crying out loud, he has openly called journalists "the enemy of the people".

for the entire biden presidency, you would get banned from all social media for saying objectively true things about covid

@k1rallik I have never once used that fake frame shit and i never will. This will just give them justification to make cards with even less actual raster. DLSS can die in a fucking fire. every single version of it.

> you buy a $2,000 graphics card > it has "AI cores" you never asked for > for 8 years, AI draws your frames and nobody notices > by 2026, AI draws 23 out of 24 pixels on screen > you don't care because it looks the same > then Nvidia ships DLSS 5 > now AI re-lights your entire game > your favorite character looks like an Instagram model > artists call it a garbage AI filter > Jensen says you're "completely wrong" > the demo ran on $4,000 worth of GPUs > they call it the GPT moment for graphics > you call it slop

This is a copy/paste from a reddit post of someone who I used to troll hard on 2b. Very bad faith. Followed by very obvious fake screenshots. Watch my expose videos and do your own research.

"Its not Generative AI it's Generative AI with extra steps" All of these companies need to burn.

@VraserX Every modern "AI" is a mathematical next word predictor. LLM are a dead end for AI. Narrow application in pattern recognition tasks is promising for the current approach. Everything else is venture capitalist smoke and mirrors

Sam Altman and OpenAI deserve serious credit. When they started pushing AGI, many AI “experts” called them scammers and said it was 100 years away. Altman made one stubborn bet: scale deep learning. More compute → more intelligence. He ignored the skeptics. That bet kickstarted the AI revolution. This may end up bigger than the Industrial Revolution. Possibly even bigger than the Neolithic one.

@JayDook They will pay studios to include this. they will then use the numbers as adoption justification to alter production graphics cards and make them even shittier at actual raw render. AAA already had an optimization issue and its about to get alot worse.

If DLSS 5 is ‘AI slop,’ but current in-market DLSS, FSR, frame gen, PSSR, etc. are fine, then your problem clearly isn’t AI. So what is it? Defend your position without virtue signaling. Replies are open.

I say this with zero sarcasm. This is basically Video Game 9/11. Everything that comes after this will be industry driving industry. - They will not listen to the consumer about this at all. - They will get this baked into every AAA game they can bribe to do it. - They will cite that as adoption. - They will design new cards around "AI cores" and less actual render. - Artist control of the final production product will be lost to a series of AI Filters. - Studios will spend less time on the look and feel the game has when this is turned off. - Optimization will get worse. - Old hardware will be pushed rapidly out of the market. This is not a slope. It is a cliff.

This Video is a Rorschach test for Grifting retards. If The first reaction to this is "ThIs Is WhY tHe GaMiNg IdUsTrY iS iN sUcH bAd ShApE" then the patient is terminally retarded. There is a stark like between criticism and whining. If you make games: listen to criticism and block whining. #marathon

@KeshonHend @HiddenXperia

@HiddenXperia The point is that the old culture is gone. Bungie haven’t made a good game since 2009. So it’s not unreasonable to think there were some big changes for the worse when they got their independence from Microsoft.

I’ll never forget last year when Marathon got revealed my mentions were FULL of people proclaiming “nobody who worked on Halo still works at Bungie or works on Marathon” and just laughing my ass off at how provably false this all was When I was at Bungie the week before, I had lunch with Dan Miller, the designed of Halo 3’s Warthog run, Reach’s New Alexandria and many other fan favourite Halo levels; I turned around during a play test to see Chris Butcher stood behind me; I briefly spoke with Steve Cotton, designer of Midship, Zanzibar, Valhalla, Forge World and many more legendary maps watching me play… These are just a small handful of examples, but as someone who grew up watching Bungie’s Halo ViDocs on repeat from as early as 7 years old, every time I’ve been to Bungie I’ve almost been star struck by the people I’ve met and spoken with. One day I’m just casually having lunch with the designer of Halo 3’s Warthog run (who still watches mine and other creators Halo vids btw!), the next I’m chatting with the designer of Midship - both of whom are in high level director roles on Marathon btw - then I get home and all of a sudden according to the internet nobody who worked on Halo is at Bungie or works on Marathon The modern internet really is a funny old place 🤪

@the_runawayC @TheTopGEight You seem like a real keeper

@TheManDocSmurf @TheTopGEight Nigga plays Halo in 2026

LMFAO!! That is 200 million short of what it cost to make. This is a massive failure.
