Lately a more and more full-time ttrpg game master I guess? Mostly expect video game, movies, anime & general narrative talk. I'm boring like that.

Gotta make sure there is no credit card info left on this.

What world are we living in where stuff like this is treated seriously in a legal situation. Before I would take this with a grain of salt, but now I fully believe those managers really were a bunch of abusive, cowardly corporate bastards.
An honest opinion or defamation? A solicitor outlines the legal nuance
Whatever, just don't you dare touch ICOCA's platypus.
NEW: JR East has announced the candidates to replace its beloved penguin mascot, putting them to a public vote. Some riders, however, are skeptical about whether their vote will matter. The reason for their skepticism has a name: Takanawa Gateway.

if the moderate wing of the Dem party would spend even half of the energy they are spending fighting the DSA on fighting Trump they wouldn't be losing so many primaries to the DSA

Many don't remember that the entire Double Fine situation already happened before. Back then they somehow escaped EA. I still can't believe they decided to sell to M$
istg if there’s one thing I learned about game companies it’s to never get acquired, never go public, don’t ever sell out. It always ends with “-and then the parent company fired everyone working there and locked the IPs in a vault” Obviously cataclysmic rn but this shit is as tale as old as time

Every Nolan movie is the same, where the main character is haunted by the fact he is better than others. He either success but realizing he should disregard ordinary people, or fails by feeling he does something wrong. Nolan movies are not good, just to be clear.
the odyssey and oppenheimer are the same film only in oppenheimer cillian murphy is haunted by inventing nukes and in the odyssey matt damon is haunted by inventing the concept of being sneaky

You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?

So we're at a point where warnings are posted on everything, probably as a push to normalize AI use. Big question: why do people still use Meta products? They sucked for more than a decade at this point.
A new example of Meta shithousery. This is a post of mine on Instagram (left). Click the dots top right and this advisory note appears (right). I never use ai, never will. Why would they do this? Who benefits? Are they just trying to make viewers think everything is genAI so they just accept it?
Is the world finally waking up to the fact that Nolan movies, while incredible from the technical standpoint, are also extremely bland?
My THE ODYSSEY review for @thepitch.bsky.social is live! Trying so hard not to show my whole hand as Not A Nolan Girlie, but boy oh boy I'd love that guy to loosen up even just a little.

I can understand not believing in the importance of cover art for books. it's naive, but I understand. If you do just release your book in a flat colour cover. God knows it will still be more distinct on shelves than AI slip covers. AI covers show you care but believe other mediums are beneath you.
Saw a reddit thread from a writer asking why their sales dropped and when someone pointed out their cover was AI, they argued that their writing wasn't, though. Too bad. As soon as you touch it, you're showing other creators that you lack respect for art itself. AI is reputational poison.
PSA: This is not a good port. It seems like they took the S1 version and applied higher res textures, but the lighting system stayed the same. The game makes me think of the S1 version of Nier Automata that was ugly as night, but ran on compromised hardware.

Is this the final nail in the coffin of GaaS? People from Bungie were for the longest time lauded as experts (they famously worked with Playstation Studios on their cancelled games) and now the game ends, there are no plans for another one and layoffs are incoming.

"We don't need to demonise it" says a well known actor while demonizing it. This sounds like irony, but I legit cannot get a read on Troy Baker. At least the @eurogamer.bsky.social article seems to read like he really believes what he's saying and does he not see the irony?
@normandyfm.bsky.social in Nier Automata EP 7 you did a bit in the beginning about "cool letters" and were sad there is no way to do Nier with one of those. Here I am in a timely fashion to give you polish "Ń" which basically is the "ni" sound of the "i" was silent. I love being up to date.
