Not gonna play it tonight though, as I want to spend more time on the original as I didn't get a chance to do that since I've been busy with college
I just wanted to get this as it was a day-one purchase for me given my thoughts on the Global Test Ride

I had a feeling that Arc Raiders was gonna show up as a nomination at TGAs, but never said I was happy about it
It's gonna be more of an insult if it does win Best Multiplayer Game

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.

"CEO of peepee poopoo says..."
No that's ok. I don't think we need to hear what CEOs have to say anymore. It's been repeatedly shown they don't have anything smart to say due to being a class of person almost entirely disconnected from reality as it exists. That's quite enough of that.

"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

Yeah, so I made a RetroAchievements account about a week and a half ago as having achievements for retro games intrigued me
I think starting my profile with Ridge Racer as the first game mastered was honestly a really good choice
Hope to do more with this in the future

Some good news re: Chat Control!
Continue contacting your MEPs to let them know how you want them to vote, but this is yet another big blow to chat control!

Finally got the best car in Ridge Racer (PS1). It was a challenge, but it did feel satisfying after getting the track down alongside playing defense so I wouldn't get overlapped
So all that's left for me to do here is to get 1st in High-Level Extra and I'll mark Ridge Racer as complete

I feel like it's hardest for me to try and get a brain train going on RPGs, because of not only my limited experience in them, but because talking about the story bits always feels like preaching to the choir. I tried though. This has spoilers, so heads up on that.

I’d also like to add: Share artists’ work.
It’s not unusual for me to see people sharing AI images to dunk on them.
For every AI image you share, even for the sake of outrage, you could have been sharing real art from a real artist.

i feel so bad for artists who now have to deal with accusations that their work is ai
Its so demeaning to the life of work they put into their art, and it must suck to have to argue that your work is in fact your own.
If you can draw, that's really cool, I think you are great.
