Seeker of Truth

@LeeRedmond18 @MattWalshBlog It’s still a “discovery” when a group strikes out into the unknown and finds a land they did not know existed before. The fact that there were people there is just as much a part of that discovery.

@MattWalshBlog He didn’t discover America it already was and the fact you got such a hard on for him is kinda odd

Christopher Columbus is the ultimate IQ test. You immediately know that someone is a retarded halfwit if they start screeching some nonsense about how Columbus was a genocidal maniac or whatever. Intelligent students of history understand that he is one of the great men of western civilization. This is an awesome move by the White House.

@AOC Probably the only thing I’ll ever agree with AOC on.

This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽‍♀️ Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

@Qwik @CrimsonDesert_ AI is a tool. Like any other, it can be used to great effect or it can be used where it shouldn’t. Natural textures? Sure. Literally generating framed artwork that hangs on the walls of virtual environments though? That’s just not something I think most gamers want to see.

@CrimsonDesert_ Why apologize? AI, in one form or another, will be in every single video game. I don't get why devs feel the need to bend over for the few folks who can't accept the reality that AI will be in every single thing - from video games to your fridge (it already is). Man up.

We would like to address questions regarding the use of AI in Crimson Desert. During development, some 2D visual props were created as part of early-stage iteration using experimental AI generative tools. These assets helped us rapidly explore tone and atmosphere in the earlier phases of production. However, our intention has always been for any such assets to be replaced, following final work and review by our art and development teams, with work that aligned with our quality standards and creative direction. Following reports from our community, we have identified that some of these assets were unintentionally included in the final release. This is not in line with our internal standards, and we take full responsibility for it. We also acknowledge that we should have clearly disclosed our use of AI. While these tools were primarily used during early production, with the expectation that these assets would be replaced prior to release, we recognize that this does not excuse the lack of transparency. We sincerely apologize for these oversights. We are currently conducting a comprehensive audit of all in-game assets and are taking steps to replace any affected content. Updated assets will be rolled out in upcoming patches. In parallel, we are reviewing and strengthening our internal processes to ensure greater transparency and consistency in how we communicate with players moving forward.

@KimIversenShow For a journalist, you aren’t very good at providing specifics… or punctuation.

iPhone sucks really bad now

@kasselvania @Kotaku Hiring an actor that can accurately portray the character is the requirement here. Nobody would want a white actor playing Black Panther, now would they?

@Kotaku The voices saying “who cares” appear to be the same voices who didn’t want Donald Glover as Spider Man because he’s canonically white.

@Kotaku It’s called “acting.”

@Pirat_Nation 1 week later: “1.X patch includes control scheme updates…”

Crimson Desert Exec responded: “Think of It Like Riding a Bike, It Comes Naturally After You Learn It'

Crimson Desert players are asking for refunds due to the game's terrible clunky controls. "Whoever designed the control scheme should seek employment with the devil."

@Grummz I said the same thing a few hours into Skyrim and Breath of the Wild, but that changed drastically as I played those games. Spending a couple hours in a game and offering your thoughts already is thinking too highly of your opinion.

Another Schreier-ism has just dropped.

@KimIversenShow Real impartial journalism, Kim.

Well… unfortunately Satanyahu still reigns on this earth, controlling our politicians and killing children. The question then becomes, why use the obvious AI videos and heavy makeup? And why has he been wearing tennis shoes instead of his dress shoes? Is he injured?

@EscanorAkd @Pirat_Nation Note that you can still buy those games on Steam. You just need need the Rockstar launcher to authenticate them.

@Pirat_Nation People are acting like they didn't download rockstar launcher to play RDR 2 or GTA 5

Sony is reportedly working on its own dedicated PC launcher for PlayStation games. >PSN account to play, let Sony keep 100% of the revenue instead of giving a cut to Steam >Possibly block their titles from running on Microsoft’s upcoming Project Helix hybrid console. >The first major title to use this approach could be Marvel’s Wolverine. Sony has not made any official statement yet.

@UltraEgyptian @Pirat_Nation It’s a predictable move by them, but whether it’s smart will depend on the results. Don’t underestimate PC users’ ability to “meh” on game launchers. Others have tried to do this and ended up back on Steam.

@Pirat_Nation It’s a smart business move that Steam fanatics just can’t comprehend.

@Pirat_Nation Honestly, I’ll take this over no PS games on PC. I had wondered why they would pull out of the PC market entirely rather than take this approach.

@iris020202 @ThePapaGut Clarifying questions are just there to get an idea of the other person’s beliefs and are often controversial in nature. It’s not implied that the person asking agrees or disagrees.

@TruthSeekerAdam @ThePapaGut If you need to clarify that then I don’t know what else to say to you. There should be no debate in the first place when it comes to consent so this whole thing is beyond insane…….

@iris020202 @ThePapaGut It was a clarifying question in a debate. Relax.

@TruthSeekerAdam @ThePapaGut If you have to ask the question “does your girl have to give consent to you to have sex every time” that’s extremely worrying and not a “simple question”

@IGN IGN gives the game an abnormally low score then reports on the company’s stock loss as a result. Just a little sus.

The publisher and developer of Crimson Desert has seen its stock price plunge nearly 30% in what is seen as a reaction to review scores. bit.ly/4bRPENL

@Grummz So, basically wait a bit for them to correct the control issues (they surely will).

Crimson Desert is sitting at 78 on Metacritics right now. - Vice gave it 100, Forbes gave it 95 - TheGamer gave it a 70, and IGN gave it a 60 (so far) I watched a handful of youtubers review it, and so far this is what is shaking out of the review tree: - Amazing open world - Sense of wonder/awe - Frustrating controls and bugs (for some) So far, it is sounding like an amazing experience, stuffed with things to do, but whose junkiness can detract from it.

@ii_analyze @FrieNDA_2 Sure, when it’s not 50-75% hype without the substance to back it up.

@FrieNDA_2 like dot com, will come back with a vengeance too

The day the AI bubble pops is gonna be so fucking funny in the most economically damaging way possible

@CerebrAiX @FrieNDA_2 The .com and crypto bubbles did burst. It’s a correction of valuation, not a collapse.

@FrieNDA_2 They said the same thing about the Internet and Crypto. 😂🤣

@FrieNDA_2 It’ll burst, but it’s going to be the same as it was with the .com boom/bust. It’ll just come down to earth and the inflated valuations will tumble.
