I keep returning to Miyazaki’s response to “AI animation” all the way back in 2016, years before public access/primetime, declaring it “An insult to life itself” within minutes
Struck how the absolute moral clarity of that impression still resonates today, unlike this so called Generative effort.

With how online patching wasn't really a thing back on the PS1, and revisions were usually silent, small details, missed a step upon seeing the transformation this infamous room from the original Resident Evil 1 got for the later Director's Cut release.

I was watching a CGI heavy recent movie for about five minutes today, and I suddenly realized that one of the main reasons I can't believe in a movie dependent on CGI is because the "camera", which is nonexistent, does ridiculous things. Some of these movies will do that 10 or even 20 times.

Great article which cuts through the bullshit. Generative AI sleaze is only the latest in a long line of corner cutting, and when the experience you are selling is about making a connection, selling a high quality experience, being authentic? That's playing stupid games with fire
Rob Fahey explores how discussions over where "the line" lies for using AI assets often ignore a universal truth of consumer behaviour

Hey, hey! I've made my @rpgsite.net (and game critic) debut with a deeeeeep dive look at a game I've been anticipating for years: @somethingclassic.bsky.social's Quartet.
How does it compare to recent retro revival RPGs like Chained Echoes, Sea of Stars, and Eiyuden Chronicle? Let's find out.

Inspired by RPGs of the '90s, Quartet is Something Classic's proof that they've grown up and become more confident with age, and that there's room for continued growth to match their ambition. Our review: https://www.rpgsite.net/review/18986-quartet-review

jrpg isn't a real genre. its a useful shorthand and comparative term (i.e. if you like tales games you'll probably like falcom games) but when more academically discussing things like whether the genre has "evolved" enough or not it becomes tautologically useless

Loop the dedicated soundtrack in another tab while you're at it imo 👀
This music was composed while looking at b-roll of Phantasy Star Online and reading random articles on Kimimi's blog, and is recommended to be employed in a similar environment.
