Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

The only way he'd use ChatGPT is if someone 'held a shotgun to my head and made me do it'

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.

I really love the games this company creates but mentally it gets harder to support them especially reading they want to "automate 70% of QA and debugging tasks" by late 2027.
Big sigh.

Finished the First Ending of Silent Hill f.
My God what a Horror game.
Clearly there is more story, and I think lowering the difficulty will make me appreciate the game/combat more. I get burned out kinda fast but MAN is the story worth it. So compelling and so so weird.
Also glad NG+ is worth!

Something that ran through my head as I saw descriptions for Steam Next Fest games: if the project uses gen AI, it’s an instant skip
Yes, even if it’s “just” for store assets
However it’s intended, it LOOKS like an active gap in your craft, and there’s infinite other games to spend my time on

What kind of laptop do you use for work?
I'm wanting something that can run Adobe Premiere Pro while I'm on the go and really just do tedious work like rough cuts. No real intensive work, doesn't even need to render. I can just transfer to my home PC.

So if y’all wanna watch some funny Silksong moments, it’d mean a lot 🤍

The goofy & messy nature of these games lends themselves so well to trailers with real voiceover which is genuinely authentic and fun 😂
They stand in stark contrast to military shooter games where both staged and real life mic recordings are pretty much both impossible to make sound good 🤪
