Also since I wont really be able to participate in the Gamers Outreach charity event like I intended, I've gone ahead and thrown some larger donos towards some of the mutuals' campaigns instead. Good luck, y'all 👍

For clarity on the lack of streams- Yesterday, we put down our 14 year old dog. It was an unbelievably difficult choice, but he was in constant arthritic pain and in late-stage dementia. Regarding next stream date-

For context, since its now deleted- OP was angry about seeing Davinci Resolve refer to their tools like auto-captions and auto-masking as "AI". No hate to OP who admitted they misunderstood, but it actually emphasizes my point that blind hate of a term without understanding is detrimental

I'm one of AI's biggest haters, but I desperately need people to understand the distinction in how the "AI" label is used. This stuff runs locally & most have been around for a decade+. Machine learning is NOT the same as genAI. This is just old tech being rebranded, nothing more.

These are standard ML tools we’ve been seeing for years and if they are using gpu and npu cores on device they are actually the ideal way to implement probabilistic modeling into a feature We must stay aware of how companies still are gonna name things in a way stock goes up without being “slop”

We can't get outraged at every drop of the word "AI" and ignore context. Machine learning & neural networks have been around long before OpenAI/Anthropic/etc. They've been used for simulations, complex maths, medicine, and even creative tools for decades- long before the era of the theft-machines.

We need to pick and choose appropriate battles, not spray-and-pray our outrage and anger about current AI. Otherwise we risk hurting our own cause and damaging or depriving ourselves of our safe alternatives. tl;dr- Stay wary, but stay educated. Don't attack if you don't understand.

I'm playing it by ear, but the soonest possible time likely won't be until this weekend- if at all this week. I hate cancelling streams, especially during special events like Spooktober and the Gamer's Outreach charity event, but I'm forcing myself some grieving time

Scratch this, we'll shoot for a tentative stream tomorrow for Clock Tower I mentioned on discord, but we've unfortunately had to make the difficult choice of putting down our dog this weekend due to severe and worsening dementia Hoping to get in at least one stream before I MIA until next weekend

‧͙⁺˚・༓☾  New schedule!  ☽༓・˚⁺‧͙ Only two streams this week WED- Clock Tower 2: The Struggle Within/Ghost Head THU- Blair Witch Volume II: The Legend of Coffin Rock www.twitch.tv/vt_aether #Vsky | #Vtuber | #ENVtuber | #horror

The games are already available on GoG. At best some of them just need a remaster. New ones, though? Nah, keep this man out of the games industry. Garriott fell off SUPER hard. NFTs, gen-AI, focus on exploitative micro-transactions, abandons projects, etc.

VGC@videogameschronicle.com

Game designer Richard Garriott has confirmed he will soon regain the rights to the influential RPG series Ultima from Electronic Arts. "It means I could re-release the earlier Ultimas, but it also means I could sequel them." vgc.news/news/richard...

Being a Silent Hill fan is so exhausting because 90% of the supposed fanbase has literally never actually played or understood the games. I can't think of a single other franchise where the majority of people who claim to be fans don't even understand the surface-level themes.

‧͙⁺˚・༓☾  New schedule!  ☽༓・˚⁺‧͙ October is here, and so is our annual Retro Spooktober! A full month of nothing but retro horror! (just gotta finish SH:T first) TUE- Silent Hill: Townfall THU- Silent Hill: Townfall SUN- Fatal Frame 3 www.twitch.tv/vt_aether #Vsky | #Vtuber | #ENVtuber | #horror

This sucks so much, but to all the ppl declaring they're going to stop using Twitch and go to YouTube instead:

Zach Bussey 🍁@zachbussey.tos.gg

CEO Dan Clancy says Twitch now uses AI to identify streamers that may not match a brand, since it now transcribes all streams for brand safety. It won't show ads on channels or content the AI believes don't match what the advertiser is trying to achieve.

We now have rigorous pooled data showing that even without active restoration efforts, cleared rainforest can rebound to 75% of their former species composition and 90% of species diversity within just thirty years. #goodnews

Was saving Carter's Quest for next Pride Month charity event, but I think we'll play it after Retro Spooktober instead. Been following this game and goba for a while now and it's been cool to see all the progress. Please support your indie devs (also pick up Carter's Quest, its only $6 rn)

goba (ACT 2 out NOW!)@gobadev.bsky.social

Posted about it on Twitter, but I figured I should talk about it here, too. CQ Act 2 is underperforming to a really disappointing degree. I'm considering my options moving forward, but it's looking very grim for my ability to continue working on games going forward.

Currently back in the Midwest for a visit, and I'm sorry, yall, but it sucks so much here lol I don't at all miss feeling like I'm wading through soup every time I leave the house. I feel like every shower is just a losing battle with sweat 😩
