What an insane thing to peg on ‘conservatism’. What kind of warped understanding of conservative politics do you have that you link ‘never offering a discount’ to conservatism? Your weird worship of market dynamics is more conservative than refusing to lower a price.

What’s the point in writing that an AI 'accidentally' does anything? It can't have intent.

Yeah, but so what? A small firm wanting to put up some graphics on its website doesn’t care about intent or creativity, they just want to make an industry-standard webpage, and their customers don’t care either. For the majority of Adobe stock image customers, ‘art’ is not what they’re shopping for. I’m also worried…

I never really get tweets like this... obviously the offer is insulting, but so what? If McDonald’s offers to sell me a $500 hamburger I’m not gonna take to Twitter to say that this is outrageous, and that a company as big as McDonald’s should be able to afford to offer me a more affordable burger - I’ll just shrug…

What a terrible example. Pizza should be enjoyed fresh.

Weirdos once again showing that they’ll supposedly sink ‘100s of thousands of dollars’ into a business that has no contractual basis.

You are putting a lot of faith in your own translation of Korean Criminal Law articles 298 and Article 299 being the authoritative wording. I’ve seen misconduct used as the translation, but also “Indecent Act by Compulsion” - would you have preferred them to use that? Not as much of an expert in Korean law as you, so…

“Woke white Goyim” - this is what I’m saying, normalize Jews being POC!!

Why would they not have an American view of the world? It doesn't make any sense?!

Wait... is it just some minor infringements that only appear for a few seconds, or is it revamping the entire look of the game?

What are you talking about? Platinum had already hired Jen Hale and paid a fair rate - the 'net outcome' of this story was that Platinum and Hale had to take a bunch of undeserved shit for a week plus, and some people will be more suspicious next time somebody speaks up. Sites like Kotaku jumping the gun on this story…

It was out on the floor with staff in the discussion. Don't make shit up.

And the same should apply to his personal trainer who sculpted Orton’s muscles, his hair transplant professional who designed Orton’s hair growth pattern, and his parents, who contributed a significant amount of proprietary genetic material to his looks and likeness. If you’re reproducing that in the game you gotta…

Yandle surely meant “a Tribal issue of fact”.

You think 'vanilla' cyberpunk isn't already extremely intertwined with anime? Night City is just as much Akira as it is Neuromancer.

“They write about a game they never played” - but that’s the problem, surely?

You people are fucking nuts, I swear. And by you people I mean of course Americans.

Also, are we not going to be talking about the problematic nature of having white ‘heroes’ physically beat the crap out of black men? Hasn’t there been enough white violence on black bodies, both in media and reality, by now? There should be a way to have the game work as intended without this worn-out and insensitive…

Do you think From Software “didn’t realize” that you would like the game more that way? They made a choice to create the kind of game they wanted to - it’s a little condescending to say that they just haven’t ‘realized’ how you want to play the game.

I love how the message here is “You are enjoying it wrong.” I mean - I didn’t like Elden Ring because of its difficulty, but I fully understand that there are people out there who enjoy the difficulty and enjoy it more because it’s non-optional. Why would I try to tell them they’re enjoying it wrong, and that Easy…
