Owls have very small brains. Their eyes take most of their skull’s space. All in all, they’re not really smart, even for a bird.

The story in FFXV was super disappointing to me. I absolutely loved the “bro trip” aspect, but when it got down to the story, it turned out 2/3 of it had happened “off screen,” either in other media or just never shown, like all the things going on with the empire. 

I was worried they’d smash down on you, so I never tried to get under it. Good to know!

Somewhat tangential to the article, but you show using a cannon against a Flux Construct there, presumably as an alternative to bomb arrows in order to get it to crumble. Protip: Flux Constructs are vulnerable to Ultrahand even in their assembled state(s), and if you grab the glowy one and tug they collapse the same…

I really get the feeling that people who do not like AI, view it through the lens of “a threat that would replace them.” I would argue that it would limit the tedium of scripting NPC dialogue and free the Human writers to focus on the actual story arch. If AI that can be trained to “act” according to the writer’s…

Technology evolves, for good and bad, in video games as well as everything else.

Isn’t “A D&D campaign, but a video game” what a large percentage of game development has been focused on since the beginning of RPGs as a genre?

I love it. These right wing chuds have been doing the same things for decades and are now clutching their pearls on their fainting couches because someone did it against them. 

For the record, I think that she’s being an embarrassment by being an attack-dog for her corporate backers, and a particularly unsubtle one, but I do think this bit is worth addressing:

It really does not work that way.

Remember when everyone was pissed-off about NFTs? Everyone sure stopped giving a shit about NFTs as soon as A.I art appeared on the scene, didn’t they? You’ll have to excuse me for being sceptical of the outrage over A.I art, because I’m pretty sure everyone will quickly move on as soon as the new flavor of the month…

honestly it’s pretty funny to me that someone purporting adversarial examples as industry-saving and novel using marketing buzzwords both chose to use the guise of protecting intellectual property but also somehow forgot about it when it comes to their own code. until they actually fess up and fix their plagiarism…

you should mention that the Glaze creator has admitted to plagiarizing open-source code:

Neat.

it sounds like you are kind of saying

In regards to the privacy thing, if you're using Discord, your privacy has long since been lost. As for AI being used, there's nothing actually negative here, as far as I can tell, beyond the fact that it's an emergent technology being implemented. There's nothing to suggest it will supercede existing features, and…

lol i finished this review at like midnight, cut me some slack

Are you demanding she provide her video game bonafides?
Wow, where have we seen that before.

So what you’re saying is that you have no taste
