People only now getting devastated by AI art in Fortnite is slightly weird to me because, with everything Sweeney has been saying for a year as he’s become a MAGA-lovin conspiracy theorist and the AI Darth Vader stuff… I though everyone already knew?
Future seasons are just going to be full of it.

Epic Games:
Laid off 850 people last year
Sells off Bandcamp after they unionize, briefly leaving them in jeopardy
Allows Crypto/NFT games
Still pushing into the Metaverse years too late
Promotes GenAI content in Fortnite and their engine as the future of game development
Tim Sweeney is an idiot

i really don't understand why gamers don't support the epic store more.

As someone who works on the interaction layer of software: it's this.
Stupid trends in hardware self correct after a generation or two, but *software* ratchets in the direction of unusable because designers are occupied with interaction patterns and not whether the fucking thing works properly.

i think it's useful to look at areas where the *tech* has gotten much better while tech *interactions* have gotten way worse. streaming has gotten worse, google search has gotten worse, digital cameras are leaps better. apple's silicone is so good it's threatening their user upgrade cycle
it’s so weird to look around and realize like, tech and media are materially worse than a decade ago

People need to keep pushing until payment processors fuck off on the puritanical BS. It is sickening how they would rather lose a huge chunk of their userbase over something harmless. These people depend on Paypal for their careers, Paypal is actively fucking over everyone for, literally, no reason.
I'm devastated, if I don't find an alternative that works with argentinians I'm contemplating the worst, I can't do regular jobs, art was my job for around 15 years
I don't do nsfw even when people insist me to
my life was already crumbling and now I don't know what to do

This article’s causing a stir among Japanese retrogamers. It’s critical of the Metal Slime grind of classic DQ, but the real point of contention is that the author admits to using mods to make the grind easier, which a lot of folks view very negatively. Quite a contrast to the Western view of mods

This is what you risk when you do non-union work, folks. Your voice gets turned into whatever the hell *this* is, and you get thrown out onto the streets.
Welp, a second AI dub on Amazon has apparently been found, and it's a show that already had a perfectly normal (albeit non-union) dub: No Game No Life.

The original Let It Die was famous for its absolutely amazing soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka went and got in touch with a HUNDRED of his favourite indie bands and commissioned each to do a track named 'let it die'. The result was borderline mystical.
They're AI-generating the music here.

Part of the 30% cut that Valve takes is the implicit agreement that they'll protect developers from the hassle of dealing with individual payment providers, and if they're not actually willing to go to bat for us, why are we paying them so much again
Saw someone cite the Collective Shout thing and payment processors in regards to the Horse situation and say "Valve can't fight them by itself", and I think we maybe shouldn't be defending multi-billion dollar companies for arbitrary takedowns of artistic works and acting like they're the little guy

When the media and government move to demonise a minority it’s always noticeable how that minority gets denied the concept of including children or minors, as she was 17 at the time.
