Finding out Uchikoshi is actually pro-AI

Reading this Famitsu interview Uchikoshi did and it seems that the reason the Crash Keys game was canceled was because *Uchikoshi* wanted to use AI, not the publisher. This snippet is driving me nuts. Makes all the posturing with Hundred Line read extremely shallow.

It really fucking sucks that there is a 1.) GTA game 2.) Set in my favorite setting 3.) that actually looks great And I can’t get excited for it because of Rockstar being one of scummiest people on the planet due to union rights, and Sony being the dumbest shitters on the planet.

I know the vast majority of you are here because of my art, but I need to share a thread about Brazilian politics because what we achieved today deserves to be mentioned and celebrated I'll do my best to be objective for those who have no idea what was happening

WE DID IT. I CANT FUCKING BELIEVED WE DEFEATED USA WE DEFEATED A COUP WE DEFEATED META WE DEFEATED EVERYONE WHO TRIED TO SILENCE BRAZILIA PEOPLE LULA WON GUYS. THE PEOPLE WON.

USIANS PAY ATTENTION!! WE BEAT META, WE BEAT YOUR BIG TECHS!! IT IS POSSIBLE!!

Not only is Video Game Esoterica (@videogameesoterica.bsky.social) so asleep at the wheel that he's peddling ports with malware in them now, but when called out on that he decides to try and play Internet Tough Guy... then backpedals into "haha you mad 😂" shit. Truly a blight on retro gaming.

If HxH Nen Impact came out in 2000 and Marvel Vs Capcom 2 came out today then Nen Impact would be considered an untouchable classic and MVC2 would be called the most broken jankiest poorly made game imaginable. You'd see rage thumbnails all over youtube screaming "A MOTHERF$%#ING INFINITE???"

was gonna do more S'pht but maybe less is more

I say this as someone who almost entirely covers old fighting games, the worst fighting game today is still a more functioning well made game than like 90% of fighting games that came out in the 90s.

The old CP2020 rulebook art makes him look like he belongs in an early 80s Sunrise anime I'm sorry

Being a video game writer has to be hell. >write asshole character called "Jimmy the Asshole" >be bombarded with complaints that Jimmy's an asshole >legions of tumblrites that inexplicably want to fuck him >republicans unironically admire him >800,000 downloads for BIG TITTY ANIME JIMMY on Nexus

WHO THE FUCK RUNS TEKKEN 8 I NEED TO SPESK TO SOMEONE !!

Sweeney tries to make out he's saying this in defence of the beleaguered indie devs who want to use AI, but remember that his company laid off 1000 people earlier this year before pivoting to AI. He's taking this stance for one reason: he loves money

A lot of the struggle with people in their 20s/young adult drama is people who have figured out who they are get caught in the crossfire of other people still figuring out who they are

Dog Online reminds me I used to like websites aftermath.site/dog-online-neo...

we should all be pissed off at this btw. if not because sex work is legitimate work and should be treated with respect, then because you should be concerned at attempts to gentrify online spaces as pretext to court investors and force out minorities so those spaces can become part of a portfolio.

Complacency and Quitting are not attitudes that lead to meaningful change, it never has been. Look through the history of the world, you'll see that first hand. We only got as far as did because people didn't stop trying, didn't stop doing, ect ect

You comment about BioWare being shut down and the chuds come out. The really irritating thing isn't even the dumb comments about wokeness killing the studio (lmao BG 3 exists). It's that if you look into any of their profiles it's always the same 3 things. AI drone, gooner, reply guy. fuck off.

Every single hobby I love has has been infected by slopped up and unserious software. It's exhausting. aftermath.site/ai-slop-hobbie...
