imagine being so dull you rob yourself of a working relationship that gets you, like, lance reddick's "indeed" in destiny, jeff steitzer's... literally anything in halo multiplayer, chris edgerly's "i am!" in apex legends, steven barr's "SHEPAAAARD!!!!" in mass effect

the eurogamer arc raiders review made this the crux of their argument but it really got me thinking of how insanely boring and small-minded you have to be to rob yourself of the opportunity for a voice actor to really make an imprint on your game, community, and legacy

Not a surprise, dude put a lot of money into ai and into scooping up sources of data and is very much into anything that can make money even if it’s harmful to the industry he is in.
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has defended AI following Eurogamer's 2/5 Arc Raiders review, which criticised the game's use use of AI voice generation. "AI dialog generation + human personality and tuning could totally transform gaming," Sweeney said.

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Well, fuck. Revoking any and all Peripeteia recommendations (and I wish I could un-back it on Kickstarter) based on the very thinly veiled transphobia from the dev (the first one in the screenshots here).

I hate this.
Acquaintance grabbed these screencaps. Idk if it's getting purged.

"Second stage is people rejecting conspiracy discourse" is genuinely hilarious, I gotta teach em a little about Yakub and maybe they'll change their tune

CinemaSins Brain has infected so many people in the industry now, I swear

If you’re this hung up on continuity for JAMES BOND of all characters, the perpetually 34 year old dude who’s fought steel teeth guys in space and already been rebooted at least once, your mind is a desert
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.

A lot of well meaning cis allies will still be under the impression that your average trans girl grew up just like the boys around her. I don't think many actually understand just how frequently people picked up on how we are different and considered hurting as a victimless action

This is the same studio the made The Finals, which also used AI generated voices. If you're not going to pay voice actors to do lines, pay designers to actually make your assets, and pay writers to come up with your story, then you shouldn't be making games.
Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Hey @magic.wizards.com 👋 you got another apology or clarification for those hundreds of artists who've publicly said they won't fuck with you anymore if you use gen "AI" in your games?

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

I don't think I've come across a poem that taps into my ethos when it comes to navigating queer community within the context of a hostile world as much as "We Have Enough Dead Friends" by Lena Oleanderson.

I strive to make my home a sanctuary where other faggots feel safe and cared for.

Funny story: my bank recently sent out an emergency notification letter, which stated they were sending me a new debit card, because they had changed vendors. The old card was a MasterCard. The new one arrived - it’s Discover.

Looks like even banks are noping out of MasterCard’s madness.

you should be aware of how broad the NPSM-7 criteria for someone to be considered an "antifa terrorist" is, and how many times they've mentioned using the same tactics they're doing to vaporize random fishing boats on "antifa" domestically

So apparently there was a Pomni costume on The Price is Right for Halloween, which blows my mind in another weird "full circle" kind of way; half the reason the Caine voice came to be is because I watched this show a lot when I was a toddler
