China’s first AI-generated theatrical film, ‘Sanxingdui: Future Past’, has bombed at their domestic box office, only making $121,000 USD against a budget of $1.5M USD. In contrast, the crudely animated ‘Niu Lai’ made nearly $10M USD against a budget of $200-500 USD.

I so often see people defend AI coding like "oh it's so verbose and putting out such quality code" and i always think, does it need to be? Does it always have to be? Every other type of AI adds a ton of extraneous details, how is this any different? You never get a straight answer out of the true

believers either, they're either too stupid to know or too rusted on to have a real conversation about it. This is why you can't trust all these neat looking mods and remaster projects and co-op systems, they're full of bullshit that'll inevitably bog things down with code the creator can't fix

because they're leaning on it so don't know how to or can't be bothered to because there's so much more to go through than there should be. Don't take shortcuts, learn a skill and do it right.

The Fade in Dragon Age: Origins sucks ass every time you have enter it but it's always been one of my favorite details in anything that the Black City is Right There. The Throne of God, corrupted by hubris, chillin' in the distance. Well, before they Oops All Elves'd it like fuckin everything else.

I'm gonna say something controversial and brave but they ruined that setting by making every single thing of importance and interest circle back to the elves in some way. There was so much mystery and intrigue but everything ended up elves no matter what all the time, it fucking sucked. Elves suck.

They always suck. Almost nobody ever does anything interesting with them, they just pattern them off Tolkein but even worse. Dragon Age USED to be one of the partial exceptions but even they messed it up eventually. They're just so boring, they're worse than Default Human Fighters at this point.

Mine is Loquacious Crab. I hit random a few times as i was making my Hellsguard Roegadyn and noticed names tended to be adjective + noun so i went with the first two words that came to mind and yes the first thing i ever got off the market board was the Big Shell mount.

#wolqotd / #wolquestion Does your handle mean anything for your wol / oc or is it just a random @ you chose?

Honestly the thing that sucks about Bioware shutting down is at least Mass Effect fans got the Legendary Edition. Dragon Age over here relied on its online services, you need to download the DLC manually, and you need DA Keep to carry your saves forward which probably won't be up much longer.

It's one of the most wack ass messes of a system that'll never be fixed and even worse any attempt to by the community will be drowned out by vibe coded nonsense.

Jedi Fallen Order is a solid enough game but i really don't feel like we talked enough about how terrible and annoying the combat is

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Exactly as expected, both companies have been pushing the idea that their next consoles will be luxury products especially Microsoft. Not to mention the existing consoles being double what they launched at. It really feels like a last hurrah for console gaming, i gotta be real.

Absolutely zero surprise that the current Next Fest is like 90% AI slop, it was easy to see this coming. To ne uncharitable about it though, it's not like Next Fests were exactly rife with quality anyway as evidenced by most of the F2P section being fucking "prologues" before AI became this common.

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

Go to your camera roll and search "boat" and then post a pic of a boat you like. This boat's my favorite because i found it along the train tracks a mile and a half from any kind of trail let alone paved road.

Trained for a month to do service calls for one of the big phone providers. Quit the instant training was over because 3 of those 4 weeks all of our training tools were broken and our trainers, who were great people, did their best but none of us knew how to do anything once we got to real calls.

Honestly if KONAMI of all boneheaded companies can make a comeback and figure this shit out then none of the rest of you have any excuse.

EAC already supported Linux fine, it was up to the devs to use the version for it and companies like EA routinely removed that support. I used to play Battlefield 1 and Battlefront 2 on my Deck all the time and i can't anymore.

Bluesky's trend has listed this as "slowing growth," it should be noted alongside "intensifying competition" (supposedly) that it's not like this is halted growth or shrinking or anything. The number went up slightly less and 1,000 people lost their jobs to keep that graph looking juicy.

This is how you know these mfs are out of touch cause i've never met one of "these people" that ever shut the fuck up or was ever not the biggest annoyance in the room. Nobody has forgotten them, trust me.

Mike Collins makes apologies for white nationalists like his son in law: "These people feel like they've been forgotten. And they're just lashing out."

I made friends when i was a kid because they saw me wandering around the neighborhood with my head down playing Pokemon Gold on my GameBoy Advance and thought "this kid's weird, let's talk to him." To me i was just combining liking being outside with liking video games but in hindsight... :V

QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?

I think i'm too old to be playing competitive games, i don't have the temperament or the patience to deal with people that make dumb plays in bot matches then to lash out when we lose over of it. If you can't push bots off tribute and lose us our first towers in minutes, what do you want me to do?

OR, hear me out, they see the state of the world and keep it to themselves because they see you fuckin animals out there.

Young teenagers are less likely to identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual than a few years ago, according to a new analysis. “It really does look like a free fall,” Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology, said. “But what’s causing it is unclear.”

is it just like a curse on the name McAfee that anyone bearing it is fuckin nuts

Regulators have linked Mark McAfee’s raw dairy farm to more than a dozen recalls and outbreaks that left hundreds of people ill. “I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital,” McAfee said. “But here’s the thing: I’m a pioneer.” (Published June)

Endlessly funny watching artists tear each other apart over the most mid art trend ever. You could have just made your own violently bigoted hitler youth blonde OC but no it HAS to be the TERF one. I saw one artist say "she's just my type," you don't get to feel bad for being bullied i'm sorry.

Listen folks, shit was important to me once upon a time too. We waited in line for book releases, my mother read them out loud to us in the evening. That's done now. There's no piece of media important enough to fuck with human rights over, there's nothing important enough. Get bullied, losers.
