@YorchTorchGames Never played Halo, but it sure did lost its charm. Another planet is not supposed to look like outdoors. And this constant presence of strong orange sunlight. Almost like developers are afraid of doing cloudy weather in any games they make today.

Halo lost its charm. The original Combat Evolved featured an art direction that became iconic. Turn Halo into a photorealistic spectacle, and it loses everything that made it unique.

@readitdie @Metalgear Besides, those of you who "play" a video game that is a 1:1 replica of the original that is 21 years old, analyzing each frame to see if an animation is slower or faster than the original from 21 years ago, are out of your fucking minds.

@jejexddw @Metalgear It is not 1:1. Every animation is ripped from MGSV, slowed down and artificially adjusted, leading to random character accelerations, enemy sliding/snapping, and removing various gameplay styles because of animations blending issues. youtube.com/watch?v=R-IS_x…

@Grummz I think the argument "AI steals art" is flawed, given how AI actually works. It does not really copy anything. It just learns patterns by looking at things, just like humans do. For example, anime artists have seen "anime style eyes" countless times, and learned the pattern.

A big Stellar Blade fan account has turned against Blood Rain because of it's use of AI. Nobody cares. Customers have only ever cared if the game is fun. When people cry "AI uses stolen art" nobody cares because ALL OF US had our data used. Artists aren't special. People recognize that the genie is out, and that we would have to boycott EVERY product these days. That's not gonna happen.

So, the latest, not-so-stellar "Wanna Be in LOVE" MV was produced using game assets and AI-assisted by ShiftUp A.I. Labs, a department that has been incubating for quite some time now. And this video was a clear showcase of what they can create. Uninspiring, generic, syntethic garbage. Like your average Gen-AI slop out there. What was even the point?

@Grummz When was the last time you have created anything? Ah yes, it was - never. You just can't have that position of creator whos work has been stolen. Robbers get all the fun, not victims.

@rinireg You admit that you do not know. You admit that your statement is driven by emotions you experience when watching the video. Yet, you open your mouth.

@DagmarsDad @EU_Social @EU_Eurostat Data says otherwise. 1/3 young grads work off-field. Retail/hospitality has very high overqualification (often 30-60% range depending on country). Many bachelor's holders in food stores/cafes while low-skilled jobs filled by migrants. Check edat_lfs + overqualification stats.

If @ElonMusk hadn’t purchased Twitter, the media wouldn’t have mentioned one single word about the invasion in Ceuta. Not one singular word about it. And anyone who posted a video of it online would’ve been banned.

@EU_Justice Justice is when you put effort and gain validation in society, not when you gain validation because of skin color or gender. No, a drug addicted criminal invader should not be treated the same way as a law obeying citizen.

YES, we should all be treated equally. BUT everyday experiences are not the same. When access is blocked or paths are harder to climb, inequality becomes structural. The EU Anti-Racism Strategy focuses on removing real-life barriers. 🔗Read more: link.europa.eu/3djrBC

@InsiderGamingIG After like 25 years with PlayStation, I switched to PC. Feel no regrets, only low prices and free multiplayer.

@Kotaku Players must push more. If you give up on physical discs, then this will be 100% monopoly. You will be locked out from alternatives as long as you have PlayStation console. Currently physical games can be bought for ~50 euros, but digital for 70-100. PC is the only way left.

Sony has broken its silence on fan protests over ending PlayStation discs during the Q&A portion of its latest earnings call. Despite the backlash, the company said it plans to move forward with the decision "cautiously." "We put in a lot of thought and time, and we cautiously considered this--and we came to this conclusion, and we're going to cautiously move this forward," CFO Lin Tao said. "And to this decision, we have received various opinions and people have strong views, and we understand that the community has put forth those views to us." "Games are loved by many people. It's a form of entertainment that's loved by people, and it's connected to people's fond memories in many cases. And so we understand those emotions. We want to consider that. And in the future digital ecosystem, how do we engage the gamers is something that we would like to continue to explore." kotaku.com/sony-not-budgi…

@shinobi602 Digital download ratio: 82% It includes demos, DLCs and Free to Play games. It includes everything that gets downloaded. If you count by titles, for example a good single player game available both digital and physical, then you will find out that physical one has been sold more.
