The funny part here is you assuming that the online connectivity of the world in an MMO is:

The pixel variants are easily the worst variants in the game.

“It’s a shame because this new skin is arguably one of the cooler outfits in the character’s wardrobe”

No it isn’t

I’ve completely stopped playing Overwatch 2, and I’m much happier for it. It’s a shame, since the original was really the first PvP game that I actually really enjoyed playing (never really been into that kind of thing), and a regular Friday night Overwatch gaming session with some friends helped during the pandemic.…

Everyone knows cars are boys and unicorns are girls.

As a professional artist the amount of people defending others works being stolen so some tech bro can charge people a subscription to use their works without their permission,credit, or compensation in their rehash machine is fucking depressing. I hope you all enjoy your bland, rehashed, techno future. Maybe then…

Like art theft isn’t already a problem on DeviantArt, the AI thing almost felt like they were doubling down on it. Some reactions to it were genuinely creative tho... I know one artist who replaced every image in his gallery with a singular poor quality photo of a potato. No title changes or flag changes on the…

Yeah, I get how it works. But here I was hoping to get cute pictures of monkey mad scientists, and got... Racism. Made me feel icky.

The tech *is* cool af, but “embrace it or get out of the way” is an incomplete line of thought: these AI programs could have to address a lot of legal loopholes and copyright issues that they’ve been skirting around and not mentioning. For example, if the AI is using Bobby’s art as a sample to create the art,…

Happily. Go fuck yourself.

I think in this case it’s 20% money and 80% dumb executives being enamored with the latest tech trend. This is an underpants-gnome level business strategy best explained by some unscrupulous consultant (or bored engineering manager…) saying “woo-woo, it’s AI.”

A particularly boneheaded move considering Twitter’s implosion has a good chunk of artists looking for new (or old) shores to move to, only for DA to hang a sign saying “Stay Away!”

The answer is money (at all costs) because thats all the answer ever is

Musk’s Edgelord take of “No one should be credited for anything ever” sure does sound funny, given how much effort he’s put into making sure that he’s given “founder” credit for all the companies he’s purchased.

It seems like every other article on here recently is dunking on Elon Musk.

It’s almost like everyone should entirely quit using this piece-of-shit app and NOT give money to a sociopath who wants the world to burn. 

I don’t think I’ve ever read a sentence that neatly summarizes the white suburban American mindset as this one. Trapped in their own homes, constantly spying on the neighbor next door, always miserable despite having everything going their way. 

Who are we? We’re the people that buy and play the games. We’re not forcing anything on “Japan” a country of many millions of ppl most of whom don’t give a shit about JRPG’s.

We’re telling the ppl who want us to buy their shit how to get it done. 

Doesn’t the very existence of a new verified badge render the old blue check mark (that you will now have to pay for) pointless? Like, as it stands now, the blue check exists to tell other people that this account does indeed belong to the person who it says it belongs to, which is exactly what this new verification…
