@jynxzi Gotta get @NiceWigg

@Braden_Abyss @hitchariide I got a "Tomorrow Comes" tattoo. Spoke a LOT to me, and that today and the pain is temporary

@hitchariide Bro I haven’t cried playing a game EVER until this 😂 I think I have to get a tattoo but there’s so many options. It’ll always be apart of me. Even IRL. “For those who come after.” Right? Why else do we create art

i just played a video game off-stream for the first time in over a decade. we are blessed to live in the same time frame as the existence of this masterpiece. the story is beautiful, heart-breaking, and hilarious. The gameplay is very rewarding. please... please play it.

@ItsGiantsSzn @CouRageJD You're so quirky and different! Our little goofball

@CouRageJD Breaking bad is genuinely one of the most overrated tv shows of all time

Breaking Bad, Stranger Things, and Game of Thrones all went into their final seasons as some of the most hyped up shows of all-time. Game of Thrones was a colossal failure. Stranger Things was fine and stuck the landing. Breaking Bad was close to perfect. What show is next?

@CT_McGuire @pvancleaf @Awk20000 There is 100% not a check box for the game awards. Geoff knows AI is unavoidable and doesn't change the quality of a game if used correctly. A majority of the nominees at TGA used AI during development in some form

It's my understanding that in the game awards there was a checkbox that stated, "did you use AI" or something to that effect, and they checked no. That's a rather open-ended question that would, in my interpretation, incorporate AI usage in the workflow pipeline be it a UE pack or not. Though I can more than understand a dev not knowing where every single UE pack came from, we're all human.

Shroud admits Asmongold was right about Expedition 33 “Something I thought I would never say out loud..dare I say, Asmongold was right..he said..when I play this game I’ll enjoy it..is it too soon to say that..game can’t get worse, can only get better”

@DanielVavra @leooon @LarAtLarian No 100%. AI art in final products will never have my support. I'm just saying any AI tools. All those projects used it in some capacity. Every use by those games was for efficiency or Inspiration. We even used the early iterations on Fortnite years ago to test ideas, NEVER final

@snabobo @leooon @LarAtLarian We dont use AI. Yeah, somebody somewhere used Deepl or Topaz. There is NO AI generated art in KCD that I woul know of.

This AI hysteria is the same as when people were smashing steam engines in the 19th century. @LarAtLarian said they were doing something that absolutely everyone else is doing and got an insanely crazy shitstorm. I've even seen someone accuse us of using AI in KCD2. I don't know anything about it, except that I used Topaz Labs to upscale some of the AI elements from KCD1 and some of the old low res textures. I'm no fan of AI generated art, but anyway, it's time to face reality. AI is here to stay with us. As frightening as it may be, that's the way it is. Personally, it scares me the most in the music because you can't even recognise AI there anymore. On the other hand, you know what I hate most about making games? The fact that it takes 7 years and 300 people and tens of millions of dollars to make. And the fact that Tom had to spend 500 hours in the studio recording completely generic heckling and generic bars. If AI can help me make an epic game in a year with a smaller team like in the old days, I'm all for it. That game will still have an art director, writers, programmers, graphic designers, but they won't have to do the tiresome and boring tasks, they'll have to focus on the essentials. I have ideas for lots of games, but I'm fifty years old and so far it's taken me seven years on average to make one game. If AI helps me realize those ideas faster, I'm all for it. As for the RPG and the actors. Wouldn't it be nice if you could ask ANYONE ANYTHING in an RPG? Like, maybe someone for the road directions? Or what they think of their neighbors? We already have tools (11labs can do it) where you script a NPC, their character, their knowledge and opinions and then they talk to you about anything. For non-story stuff, this is an absolutely revolutionary development from a player's point of view. And you can't record it with an actor because it has INFINITE variations. But what you can record are cutscenes and story dialogue. You dont need an Oscar level performance when ordering a sausage in a pub or when asking how to get to the castle. Programmers have a problem. The work of most of them will probably not be needed very soon. We will have software architects, and AI will do the programming. Very soon. Resisting this is probably as meaningful as resisting the use of sewing machines in the textile industry. Or going back to riding on horses while we could use planes and cars. How many horse breeders lost their jobs thanks to Henry Ford!? Who and how will recognize if the game was programmed by a human or AI? And who would want to spend months of work and hundreds of thousands of dollars when the same thing could be achieved in minutes for free? The whole AI revolution may mean the demise of humanity, nobody knows now, but it may also mean that ANYONE, at a fraction of the current cost, will be able to implement virtually any grand idea. Making a game will be as easy as writing a book. There will be more games. We'll see the return of niche genres. Some games will be better. Maybe just a few. There will be also lot of trash. But who cares? There is lots of average trash in books or music for years :) It will also be an end of most big publishers. And Hollywood as we know it. Nobody will need their money and resources anymore. What we saw with boom of indie scene thanks to Steam, we will see with AAA games thanks to AI. Or Skynet will destroy us before all that. Either way, there's no stopping it. I used AI to translate this text from my native language :) Let the shitstorm begin! :)

@leooon @DanielVavra @LarAtLarian ARC Raiders sold very well. E33 won GOTY. BG3 Is praised as one of the best games made. KCD2 pushed forward realism in gaming. All of these use AI in some form and have had no impact on sales or quality. Reality is the people who "care" just don't matter as much as they think.

@DanielVavra @LarAtLarian unless you're doing games for yourself (then just suit yourself with whatever makes you sleep at night), I don't know how much more clear the audience can be that we're not interested in this kind of production. we're not gonna pay for this.

@Salambard @mickal @DiscussingFilm Why do you people call everything AI now. These were made and edited by an artist without any AI usage. You care about AI but won't support things made by actual artists.

@mickal @DiscussingFilm Gtfo with this AI slop you bitchass

‘AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH’ debuts with 70% on Rotten Tomatoes, the lowest rated film of the trilogy Read our review: bit.ly/FireDF

@FreshStart512 @QingTheCreator_ @DiscussingFilm If you use google to visualize ideas or get inspiration, the work is comprised.

@QingTheCreator_ @DiscussingFilm If you're using AI to visualize ideas, the work is compromised.

Larian CEO Swin Vincke says they are using generative AI for ‘DIVINITY’ to “explore ideas, flesh out PowerPoint presentations, develop concept art and write placeholder text” He does add that nothing in the game will be made with generative AI — “everything is human actors; we’re writing everything ourselves” (Source: bloomberg.com/news/newslette…)

@TheeMockingjqy @QingTheCreator_ @DiscussingFilm It's literally the concept artists at Larian using this GenAI. Scrolling through google or using GenAI for inspiration has the exact same effect. Every single artist takes inspiration from various places. It is stealing 0 jobs.

@QingTheCreator_ @DiscussingFilm Video game concept artists exist

@MatBXIV @VoidScroller @SamuelDeats BG3 used AI inspiration as well, just a heads up. You just proved it doesn't affect final game quality.

It means lower-grade content from a studio that just poured their heart and soul into BG3, which got near-universal acclaim and was pressed for taking its time to cook. Using AI so you can play sooner means you get a worse experience. If that's what you wsn, there are free to play copy pastas out there for you.

If you're using generative AI for concept art then yes, you DID use AI generated content in your game. What the hell makes you think visual artists don't deserve the same respect as actors and writers?

@Zephyrgold58 @feli34746 @kalaelizabeth What is the difference between getting inspiration from google, or getting inspiration from AI that uses that same art to make a more concise inspiration, faster. Every single artist uses inspiration, now it just happens to be more pinpoint.

I don't want to cancel them, I want a good game from them. DOS2 and BG3 are some of my favourite games, and I'm here for a worthy sequel. I am just concerned more about why? AI hinders creativity, and as I said here they confessed it doesn't even benefit them. I will say you make a good point, it's just that people are just sick and tired of the AI bubble right now, and it's understandable with how much it is being pushed in their faces. The concerns are more about transparency, how much is it used? how much do the concept artists still draw themselves?

@Nitroh @Play2XKO Yasuo and Warwick aren't the same. Yasuo is very different from league, imo. Hard to match Liam O'Brien

@Play2XKO so cool, are these same actors from league? Sounds like it

@geoffkeighley CHAT! This or Highguard? What are we NOT buying? 😅

Marathon will be released in March 2026 for $40

@Lezek11 @Play2XKO You're short over 30 champs lol. I think we are at 173

@Play2XKO REALLY? CAITLYN? Lee sin, Seth, Zed, Riven, Fiora, Irelia, Qiyana... 140 champs...

meet the next 2xko champion: caitlyn, the sheriff of piltover. play her in january + join us on console

@LeagueOfLegends Well we have definitely improved since the Alistar and Ivern skins on the pass.

The legacy of Demacia will stand the test of time. Pass skins Petricite Cho’Gath, Durand’s Legacy Taliyah, and Prestige Veiled Lady Morgana are now on PBE.

@Ohshidash @NiceWigg Completely different. ARC actively pays voice actors every time they use their voices likeness. This has 0 voice actors.

Are we being for real? Soulless AI voice acting slop cannot become a thing. VA’s are the backbone for so many animated pieces. Removing passionate people who would put their heart into a role just to use this is so shameful. Support Voice Actors.

An amazing year for music in gaming!! 🎮 Congrats to all the nominees 💚

@JustinGoodnight @ARCRaidersGame Duh? You bought an item individually so the bundle goes down... The skin is not more expensive than the bundle.

Radio’s abuzz with your support for ARC Raiders 💙 We're humbled by your reactions and support, now go hit the Rust Belt like you mean it! 💪
