Seriously, I have no idea why anyone can manage without the numpad.

I’m... guessing they’re talking about the source code files that would need to be reworked a bit for compatibility with modern systems? Because Activision keeps copies of their releases, they had a whole process for it back when I worked there (which was in the late 00's, before either of these games got released).

I’m definitely approaching the MCU at this point on a work-by-work basis. It was more Quantumania that did it for me, but while I refused to watch Secret Invasion due to the AI-generated Opening Title, there was just minimal interest in it for me anyway.

The kids in Season 1 were always going to be awkward, it was just a hazard of the source material. Its not exactly a shock that, now that we’re dealing with stuff that isn’t bound to an incredibly popular book, they’re going to focus on adults instead, which can have experienced actors that aren’t bound by child labor…

I mean, he’d have no shot at running as a Republican for a while, given how fucking insane that party’s become.

As someone that’s familiar with both shows, but hadn’t watched all that much of either of them, my reaction to it all was interesting:

I’m reminded of some news stories back before Mass Effect Andromeda came out, touting about how that the planets in that game were going to be super huge in comparison to Dragon Age Inquisition.

The thing is that writers are needed on set most of the time. The script exists, sure, but shit happens during filming, things aren’t blocked out perfectly, issues with props and setting and appearances and countless other things can happen that require a change to what actually happens in the scene.

Probably right.

I mean, I’m getting near 40 now, and I was grinning through the whole thing.

That poor squirrel...

...the typo in the title is just kinda amusing, because “Free to Play games” and “Play to Earn games” have so many things in common and yet are so very much not at all the same things.

The problem with that viewpoint is that we’re not saying “just say no to AI”. There’s a serious, reasonable discussion to be had about the use of AI in the creation of artistic works.

Can’t let the blood, sweat, and tears of the poor, impoverished artists get in the way of helping a big tech CEO add another zero to their bank account, right?

Sorry, but I just can’t agree to that. If the very foundation of the software is theft, then it fails at the first gate.

If an AI art program uses people’s work without their consent, then its illegitimate trash that should be thrown into a fire at the earliest convenience. The law might end up going in a different direction, and if it does I’ll continue to be disgusted by the terrible abuses of the American legal system, but any AI…

Oh, this is nothing new. Diablo 1 had the Secret Cow Level, Diablo 2 had the mysteries of the Chat Gem, gamers are always going to see shadows like this :D.

This is the exact sort of mindset that led to the Secret Cow Level rumors in Diablo 1, and I love it so much :D.

If I were designing it?
