Zero disagreement with any of that. It’s a violent, brutal, racist, greedy, cyberpunk dystopia out there.

Burn it all dowm. 🔥🇺🇸🔥

This is one of those situations where you’re correct, but also being poopy about it. For people who don’t regularly play games or can’t afford a system, this is basically a modern blockbuster.

Yup, you’re entirely correct, Obsidian is often and loudly praised, they deserve it. But also…

… they deserve a lil more… always a lil’ more!

(I’m just being silly and dum. I have just recently started their games and just wanted to sing their praises myself. Don’t mind me, just a lil fan girling out about great world building. 🥹)

Obsidian as a studio is super underrated. Both pillars of eternity has amazing worldbuilding and narrative. They aren’t unknown or anything, but gotdang they are some of the most creative devs out there!

Xbox itself, sure. But this boycott is for the larger war crimes that Microsoft is abetting via surveillance, storage and AI informed bombing in palestine. The corporation itself isn’t rotting, but a thriving pumpkin patch.

So much so that nearly all businesses and much government run and rely on Windows. Which is why Xbox in particular is being targeted. It’s a strictly consumer product that is not strictly nessecary with substitutions available.

You’re right, tradition is a poor reason for anything, abundantly agree. However this is an incredibly pedantic topic to deploy that argument. You’re taking a trueism and applying it to something with such low stakes that it becomes a little silly.

Which is why you’re getting so much push back. You’re repeating the same truth, but that’s not relevant to why people are down voting and sassing ya.

It’s fiction, not reality. I agree its a lot, I looked away a bit, but ya don’t have to be judgemental when no one was ACTUALLY hurt.

🎶Why you lyen’🎶

Gawwdan preventing rebinding is so annoying! Or it’s monkey paw wish cousin, letting you rebinding but the on-screen prompts are hard coded to display the default key.

In a simmiliar accessibility vein, I’m hard of hearing so when a game has no option for subtitles then at best I catch 1/3rd of the story.

and every cunt with a “he/him” or “she/her” in twitter bio that doesnt need it.

🙄

Prounon stolen valor isn’t a thing. And yelling at folk trying to gatekeep it as such is far more harmful to our community than any amount of “virtue signaling” from those you deem unworthy.

And this right here is a great reason to buy anything else other than pre-order GTA6.

Simulation theory is the long way around to creationism for atheists.

Apart from that yeah, nothing changed, not even in the slightest. 🙄

So, lemme get this straight. You’re saying things have changed, which is why we need AI to repeat things people are already saying.

lol

Comparisons between MAGA, Nazis and confederacy have been prevalent for the last decade. Nothing about this is new, original or even interesting. AI slop saying true things is still low effort derivative AI slop. It’s not helpful in the slightest.

Controversial but I can’t help but be curious…

Holy heck in wow! Love the art direction! I’m always a sucker for deck builders, but I haven’t seen one with such a cute style! Might just be picking this up soon.

So I’m not into megs man, platformer shooters are super not my thing. But after loving Paradise Killer I think detective games just might be. I’ve never played any of the Ace games, any suggestions on which is a good entry point to the series? Is there an overall story of are the games self contained?

HA!

I feel like I should be annoyed at the headline, but honestly it’s clever. Veganism isn’t just a diet, but an ethical framework on minimizing harm so this fits all three aspects in the articles.

• I support artists who had their work stolen as part of dataset, it’s largely the same reason I don’t eat animals, it’s all about consent. Being harmed without consent is always wrong.

• Likewise the environmental footprint of meat and AI are massive and unnecessary. The carbon footprint between meat and plant protein is massive, just like the difference between building more data centers and supporting existing artists.

• AI is bad for your mental health, we don’t really have complete research on what exactly AI does to our brains but I’ve seen enough people thinking they “unlocked sentience”, became “digital gods” and started AI “relationships” to steer clear for my own protection. Not dissimilar to the studies that show a plant based diet is better for your heart and immune system. I’d still be eating plants even if it were bad for my health, I care more about the ethical side, but existing research very much shows it as a net positive.

Neat concept.

Temtem. Like I’m not trying to be a troll, but Tem has so much more going on in its world.

Just curious, what was the male version?
