And hey, if you're looking for someone with 10+ years of experience in game dev as a designer, producer, community manager, and editor-in-chief, hit me up. I keep a look out for problems that I am uniquely positioned to help solve, and if you have one of those, I will likely be interested.

Much love to the folks who took today's news as an excuse to buy my book (patrickmiller.itch.io/from-masher-...) , subscribe to my Patreon (patreon.com/pattheflip), and support Irene's new comic (patreon.com/koh). I don't know what the future holds, but I'll keep making stuff and see where it goes.

Maybe the sweetest thing to come out of all this have been the messages from both community and coworkers letting me know how I was able to help them connect to their love of FGs. There is a new generation of game devs learning the craft of FGs bc of 2XKO, and I hope we see some seeds sprout.

It's obviously too soon to figure out what's next, but I don't think there's much out there that would make me happy in fighting/games or elsewhere. I do like helping solve weird problems, though, so if you see anything like that just holla.

Otherwise, it's nice to have some time to write again.

Very much appreciate everyone's kind words. I'm extremely proud of the work we've done on 2XKO and have nothing but the best wishes for those who remain. I've always said that the game felt like doing a PhD thesis on FGs, and I'm happy I had the chance to learn everything I wanted to learn.

73% des gens qui utilisent un outil incapable par nature de fournir de l'information l'utilisent pour chercher des informations. 🙃
L'IA est surtout utilisée pour chercher des informations, trouver de nouvelles idées, rédiger ou traduire des textes, se faire aider pour l'apprentissage, simplement discuter, etc.

J'ai vraiment l'impression d'assister à un plan machiavélique de surveillance de masse dont le point de départ est "les gens n'osent pas parler de leur consommation de porno donc on commence par là pour les habituer sans subir une grande résistance."

Ha c’est pas une impression, et c’est pas nouveau. "A t on pensé aux enfants" est une ritournelle bien connu...
Et y a aussi l’autre truc, moins machiavélique : ça a marché là, pour tel truc, sans réaction politique particulière, alors pourquoi les autres ne tenteraient pas aussi, en fait ?

Non mais à chaque fois c'est le même cirque, que ce soit Nat'ali ou Antoine Daniel, les gens leur trouvent des excuses à n'en plus finir. Demain si Pedro Pascal ou Philippe Poutou agressent quelqu'un en direct à la télé, il se trouvera encore du monde pour les soutenir. Pitoyable ; ça fout la gerbe.

actuellement, y'a une offre Micromania de baisse de prix pour une Switch 2 en échange d'une autre console

j'ai une Xbox series X et si je l'échange, la Switch 2 + Mario Kart me reviendrait à 170€

est-ce que c'est worth it ou pas la team ?

Anyway, here’s my take without having to say “this is bad” every 5 seconds.

The main takeaway is that Chinese models are doing this faster, cheaper, and at a higher quality.

ByteDance also owns Capcut, which means this specific AI model will be the one to go mainstream, due to Capcuts popularity

How is this Chinese propaganda?

Can't post anything on this site anymore. Unless you first say you're going to burn down 100 data centers, you simply cannot say "look at this and the implications of it".

I'm not going to ignore talking about stuff just because it's net negative.
It’s your account and all, but what’s with the steady flow of Chinese propaganda?

Here's another one.

This model is made by the same people behind TikTok btw.

This will never be able to replace actual creativity, but the implications when it comes to propaganda and other uses is immense.
