He’s right that I want to play games that inspire and invite joy... which is why I mostly just play Nintendo games nowadays. Everything else is too depressing.

This is always going to be a super problematic argument because what critics of AI art don’t want to admit is that human artists train themselves on vast amounts of copyrighted work with “no consent, no credit, and no compensation”. There are thousands of artists who have learned to ape other artists styles, and based…

If it's creating unique stuff not out there then they are just jealous an AI could replace their jobs

“Why is all AI basically becoming Holocaust denying software.”

Americans being baffled by government funding of arts is really funny to me.

Me in 1994: Wow, pretty messed up this Empire in Final Fantasy massacred a village of innocents so they could torture minors to extract magic from them.

A depiction of hate crimes is not an endorsement of hate crimes. Depicting an isolationist, racially homogenous society is not an endorsement of such a thing. Taking quotes out of context and attempting to rile up a moral panic is unethical journalism. Finally, the existence of POC has already been confirmed in the…

Just means he doesn’t care as much about us old timers whose childhoods were shaped by the single-digit Final Fantasy titles.

Yoshida gave a lenghty response but as usual he was roughtly cut to a short series of sentences, I guess Japan should just play the game like US corporations, say nothing, put out scripted platitudes and change the twitter’s logo every June, that seems to work.

Younger people just means those not 35-50 lol
