As others have already mentioned, your conclusions come across as pretty presumptious and ignorant at best.

Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3, Sekiro and Elden Ring are all incredible and worthwhile. Don’t skip any of them.

I believe so too. While web3, crypto, NFTs and metaverse currently present solutions to problems that no one has and peform the same function as existing, more cost-efficient technology (hence are bubbles that have burst or are waiting to burst), there is both ethical and unethical reasoning for the existence and…

This was a mispost. I was trying to reply to the original poster...

In regards to AI in art, it would be a great thing that artists would happily adapt to if we lived in a techno utopia, where it helps push the limits of the boundaries of art and society. However we live in a capitalist dystopia and history tells us that those who currently have power, a few individuals and…

Bravo

Also, to varying degrees...

I could be wrong but having lived in Hong Kong and China, I don’t think WB and HBO have a huge presence in China and Chinese censors are not against showing the villainy of the colonialists who treated the Chinese like shit and flooded the country with drugs.

Chinese censors are shitty but any decision not to include…

It’s not harmless though is it? While one can understand that sex work is work and modern society uses puritanical social values as a way of policing women and minority communities, one can also understand that sex work shouldn’t be completely unregulated and freely distributed. I can be fine with pornography and also…

I think the issue that lots of people have with Amouranth’s work is that she comes off as very fake and pushing the limits of what is allowed on a platform that isn’t meant to for NSFW content, under the guise of being some sort of girl boss feminist sticking it to the unfair rules, is a little disingenuous. Like…

Her generally being quite fake and exploitative aside, threatening to box a less able bodied woman for streamer clout is not a good look

Don’t be disingenuous. Amouranth threatened to box a woman who is still recovering from literally breaking her back less than eight months ago (an injury that resulted in the termination of a pregnancy on the same day the victim found out about it) for some sort of streamer clout. All because the woman called her out…

PC gaming is more open source than console gaming and Gamepass is the most consumer friendly thing in gaming atm, while Sony has a long history of anti-consumer practices.

I’m not saying that I agree but it’s like watching Godzilla fight a horrible monster - folks will root for Godzilla while he’s on our side and we…

The choice of comparison wasn’t very intelligent, considering that it has long been used to harm members of the queer community, but I agree that his intention, as clumsy as it was, was try to shed nuance on paedophillia treatment as opposed to harm queer people.

If anything he thought, having researched it for a role,…

I keep trying to legitimately understand Jezebel’s problem with Simu Liu but every time I do, I find that it is largely a tiny sample of poorly worded tweets or statements of his that have been taken out of wildly out of context. Jezebel’s “source” each time is the same “edgy” blogger who shouts about how terrible he…

What is this click bait nonsense? I can’t believe Kotaku pays you for this trash.

How can you say that China isn’t using subsidies and tax breaks to support Chinese companies, much like what every other nation does, when “direct backing from the state in terms of funds” is essentially the definition of a subsidy? Nations provide support to companies that they believe will be beneficial to their…

While it is true that automation of mechanical processes and labour has always been a thing, the problem is that AI is developing faster than any individual/corporation/government is able to adapt/legislate and AI threatens to replace human across multiple professions and industries.

I didn’t like the article either but let’s not kid ourselves - things are clearly not getting better. Even if we ignore the runaway train that is the climate crisis (which will lead to unprecedented levels of flooding, drought, wildfires, resource shortages, mass migration, civil unrest etc), humanity has passed its…
