Disgusting. I can’t believe a gaming news outlet would write about relevant gaming news involving the largest release of the year, that is so widely known even the former president of Nintendo of America is openly discussing it. The irresponsibility of this journalistic outlet to inform me, the reader, of current…

Yeah I’ll admit that Gao’s version of Ada didn’t hit quite right when I first heard her but I’m maybe 50-60% through the game now and it’s fine. It’s neat that they actually have somebody of Asian descent playing Ada in one of the games, though.

Most people would be hard pressed not to believe a story like that, considering what the general fan base for most games is like. I’d certainly use a /s if I were doing that sort of thing, because I know few people will get that it was meant as a joke.

There’s no one more responsible for this misconception than Vegeta himself. He’s the one who is constantly going on about “surpassing Kakarot,” and who always has an emotional crisis whenever Goku gets a new power-up. He’s never lost to Goku but he ACTS like he has. Perhaps it’s because Vegeta is actually kind of a…

But without emulation and piracy, thousands of games would be lost to time, and it’s naïve to think a good portion of those would ever have been released again or been made available to the public in a more legal way. Look at all the Wiiware stuff, all the arcade games lost to time except for MAME, all the indie games…

This is interesting, because after reading the comments, all I can think with a lot of them is “you’re all right.” The Japanese gaming industry wasn’t ready to shift focus to multiple “similar” platforms simultaneously, they absolutely favored themselves over foreign ideas and people, and the change in what players…

Yeah, this topic has way too much nuance for Kotaku to cover, at all. But using flimsy pretexts to write articles about the hottest topic on twitter is pretty much the job description at gawker. At least, when there’s not actually relevant news making headlines.

You should probably add that the FDIC has said that the cost of this bailout will be paid for the banking sector as a whole through a special assessment (i.e. higher FDIC insurance costs), not by the taxpayers. That makes it different from the 2008 bailouts.

It’s a close analogy. The major difference is that samples nowadays have to be cleared by the copyright holder. Stable diffusion isn’t doing that yet, and it's not clear if the orgs running it will ever do so. 

Oh, did I say that? I meant “steal from passionate creators who built their own skills and call it your own work”, hence the “War on Artists - because they’re ‘privileged’”.

To prove a real point they should have hired their own artist to draw reference art, and not take it from an existing anime.

Told you that these corporate/tech bro shills are trying to turn creative human labor obsolete through AI. There’s a reason they’re trying to criminalize artists in general - they’re forcing an ‘easy’ and ‘ethical’ narrative that benefits only them. For instance, they call artist “privileged” because they built their…

Except Jalopnik wouldn’t call a Sambar “rare”. Ok, maybe the current Jalopnik staff might...

Yeah, like honestly that is a better headline:

Kelly Clarkson has a talk show?

No, gaslighting based on the score would be if the game told the player all racers were weighted the same, and that the player must be imaging that they’re being penalized for being a certain character. The player “feeling tricked or lied to” doesn’t make it gaslighting. Gaslighting is about convincing the person…

What actually bothers me more about it than it being a looter-shooter (albeit I AM bothered by that because of the history these types of games has) is that it looks like all four characters practically play the same.

They tried to state how they were different but in the end all it looked like was watching four…

To me the closest equivalent of this in the copyright space offhand is sampling in music. And, largely, the response to that has been just to credit (and compensate) the artists who are being sampled in the new work. That gets into a whole other level of copyrighting versus art, but that’s the “norm”.
