I think it’s silly all around, this stuff, but I also think a lot of core users deliberately blind themselves to just how popular programs like Genshin are. I have my own thoughts and feelings on gacha (bad, smelly, bad) but even if Mihoyo genuinely is trying to put their fingers on the scales I imagine most of the…

Well, this is just how any election works. 

Another one of these articles means it’s time for all the weirdos to log on and explain how Nintendo “has every right to protect their IP and who even cares about this old game anyway?”

Unfortunately it’s a problem with a lot of passion jobs, especially in entertainment. Books, movies, TV music, and now gaming all attract a ton of people because working with their favorite hobby is their dream job. And because of that people tend to undervalue how much they are worth and make way too many concessions…

Thank you for not making this a slideshow - and on an unrelated side note (well, brought on by the reminder from the phrasing), happy Thanksgiving Kotaku.

Game Freak also farmed out BD/SP to another studio, so three games in one year between three teams in two studios.

says the guy, who got rich and famous hosting a comedy show.

Depending on how old you are, you might remember the concept of “The Weekend Game,” as in the title you rented or borrowed from a friend and beat in like 2 or 3 sittings between Friday and Sunday.

“as developers Free Lives moved onto stuff like Genital Jousting it was natural to assume that Broforce, as wonderful as it had been, was now done.”

it’s not really the hardware, it’s the code.

Sonic did have a couple decent games over the past decade (Generations and Mania specifically), but I generally agree with this assessment. To your point, both Mario and Sonic remain very relevant decades later for very different reasons.

The problem isn’t people using it the way you do. You’re not the problem here, go nuts and have fun with it! If people want to use AI art to make stuff for personal use that’s fine! It’s great that people are finding new ways to be creative.

Nobody’s worried about this because we’re luddites, most artists use software…

Not sure how they’ll judge it as AI art accurately. I’ve seen some things that had me nearly convinced it was original work, and I’ve used photoshop on and off for 16 years so I have an eye for artifacts etc. A lot of AI output is pure chaos, and I quite enjoy looking at it, but the thought of profiting off this stuff…

For me, it’s amazing for quick and high-quality art used in TTRPG campaigns for things like backdrops, portraits, and other setpieces. I’m not an artist, and if I were, I wouldn’t have the time to prepare my campaign AND make the art for it. Finding art is a hassle and is almost never exactly what you want or need,…

people comparing this to photoshop are being dishonest and don’t deserve to be engaged with.

Non-binary robot? So this one uses that weird machine language that uses one, zero, and negative one?

If it only negatively impacts the “value” of speculative collectors’ collections I don’t think I see the problem.

To be clear with this ripoff 30th beta reprint. These cards are NOT tournament legal. Basically official proxies(they have a different back and everything). They should be worth nothing. The black lotus from that set is just as useful as one you buy from a Chinese proxy dealer(for likely 15 bucks which would get you…

I don’t see how the 30th Anniversary Edition will devalue cards, since that product is basically just official proxies. It’s a dumb product, but that isn't why.

Photoshop is a tool, it can also be used to clone art, it hasn’t destroyed the art world.
