It really is a great article linked. Sadly this jumped out:

Why all the snark about what the men are wearing?  Shouldn’t we be able to wear whatever we want without attracting comments from the opposite sex?

If Twitch backpedaled any faster, they would've turned back time by spinning the planet in the other direction

Well to be fair it cost VERY little to develop in the first place. IIRC, the ENTIRE team for Hello Games, when No Man Sky released, was like 12 people in the entire company. So the initial money investment was small compared to AAA studios, also HG was known as a mobile game maker at the time. So when it sold a ton of…

How is this game still making money to fund this? I mean the amount of free content since they fixed the game is astounding.

Procedural generation and AI generation are both tools used to automate content creation. They both require rulesets and parameters in order to achieve the desired results. They both have the potential to replace human jobs but are unable to produce the same level of quality achieved by handcrafted content, hence the…

I feel like a lot of people really don’t understand the point of machine-generated (e.g. procedural or AI) content. The goal isn’t to replace humans. It’s to expand the scope of a game within the constraints of its budget. Without automation, the machine-generated content wouldn’t be replaced with human-generated…

This is an amazingly stupid article.

I found it kinda hilarious that a certain section of twitter is going all “we took all these little things and we used them to build our headcanon that gwen’s trans, and we’ll be very loud and vocal about it! — and if your headcanon is that she’s cis, just keep it to yourself”

Couldn’t have put it better myself.  I love seeing more representation in film for any minority - but I’ve always had a problem with head canons that turn into gospel for some people.  Partly because it can quickly turn around and become a hostile community against the creators if suddenly there is something that…

There’s a difference between identifying with a character and projecting on a character.

A good reminder that you could save a company hundreds of millions of dollars, but in the end, they’ll still tell you to fuck off when they feel like it.  Your hard work will never be rewarded or treasured.  You are nothing more than a negative balance on their profit sheet that they’re constantly looking to get rid…

I just found out that Nike didn’t even launch .swoosh until November 2022, a whole six months after the market collapsed. yikes.

It is great that they posted this on Saturday - as they request you use their support system to make the request - which only runs Mon-Fri.

Just... phenomenal customer service.

One has to wonder how this process works. If removing content, content that has already contributed to the financial growth of a streaming service, can financially benefit a studio/provider, then all studios can start pulling all sorts of past content from wherever and claim write-offs? Start locking away content and…

Looks like loot goblins aren’t just in the game.

This still saddens me. Prototype is just such a cool franchise. Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, except you’re a walking apocalyptic virus who eats people for breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea, pre-dinner snack, dinner, desert and late-night snack.

The article writers don’t like it either. Kotaku writers vs. Kotaku owners is an ancient ongoing war.

With Binding of Isaac, I know a lot of the combinations had to be manually built.

I assume, when you fuse weapons, it just combines their stats/effects together, and it sounds like with arrows the weight of what fused to it also affects things like range.
