Yes that was the shooter’s online handle. And Salvador is a decently common name as well as location so it’d be unreasonable to ban that.

The war stuff is hard to hold against them so long as they aren’t endorsing it, since who knows what kind of fear they may have of speaking more forcefully. Even if they weren’t beholden to their funders, and aren’t in Russia themselves, they could have relatives or friends they are afraid for. Doesn’t mean you should…

Sony can spend all its energy trying to block this deal, which will reduce competition and slow the evolution of the market.

I’m going to presume this comment section will be a mess as every AI story is so I’m just here to say:

Sure, nothing wrong with it, I’m just saying this sort of generational growth being reflected in media comes in waves, so the author of the article feeling like this is “simultaneous” isn’t wrong, it’s just also something that happens to every crop of creatives.

I mean, it’s the same in the comics isn’t it? But speaking specifically to this all seeming to be happening around the same time: I’d suspect that, much like in videogames, the “daddening” is occuring where a lot of one generation of creators now have children that have reached adolescence and their worries or musings…

This is actually the first time I learned that PSVR2 has haptic feedback on the headset which sounds awful.

The GameStop in my area often only has one employee and the answer to all your questions is: No one. I walked in a couple months ago and the employee was on the phone answering questions. Despite there only being a line of 1 it still took like twenty minutes to get out of there because they couldn’t get off to check…

I’ll need some more time with it but I feel like Ashika Island might actually be too small for DMZ? Even though there’s only six teams at most, within 10 minutes it feels like the AI is calling in so many reinforcements all over the island that it’s just completely overrun.

“[These people] can tap their friends or their networks to come in and do that manual work, [which] is democratized by the replacement of human labor by AI art.”

Perhaps they have business on the brain, where winding up is a term to refer to the process of shutting down and liquidation. Sounds weird in this context though.

I understood that characters were going to be locked in the full release since it’s a F2P and they really want you to buy, but I didn’t anticipate how much it would kill my interest since I was having a lot of fun with the Beta. I know lots of people just pick a main to be good at in games like this but for me as a…

Did they ever add more than 5 stages?

Honestly I’ve never really understood what the big draw of TDM is. In every shooter I’ve ever played I pretty much avoid it if at all possible because it just feels totally aimless.

That pikachu costume is so good

I mean, yeah. It was always weird that Spencer claimed otherwise, which I always assumed was some sort of strange attempt at wooing developers onto the service. But like any free game service the deal is they pay the devs some amount to make up for the lost direct sales. The presumption that it’ll eat into sales is…

God I hope a full version shows up in the credits

The extension and changes to Ellie and Sam’s conversation and her attempt to cure him are very good and add interesting dimensions in regards to the framing of uh, future developments. The show makes it clear, clearer than the game I think (though it’s been a long time since I played), that she really wants to help…
