Cautionary Proverb and Community Jackass.
For those concerned about AI use in the new Horizon Steel Frontiers game, this article has a better translation of what's been going around.

It doesn't look encouraging.
Perhaps @guerrilla.bsky.social can clear up for Horizon fans the extent and types of use of AI used in this game.

"we also rely on AI for production, from coding to art."😑 Art?
I mean I was already a no, but this and the "the horizon development team is also the one most eager to utilize AI" has me super concerned for Horizon 3.

Hey @guerrilla.bsky.social FYI any game that uses Gen AI, I am all the way out.
Reading up on the Horizon Steel Frontiers announcement, and although it's Google Translate's machine translation, it's very clear they're using AI extensively, even in the art department. this makes SF an even harder no for me.

Also (see pic 2) I hope to GOD this does not mean Guerrilla

I wish I still had Disney so I could protest quit Disney.
Bob Iger says Disney+ will soon have AI-generated short form content from users

Horizon Steel Frontiers

Absolutely not my thing. I have less than zero interest in an MMO. BUT, hopefully this finally getting out there, puts us one step closer to getting past it and back to Aloy!

The minute video in the article for those who are interested!

Horizon Steel Frontiers has yet to be announced, but it appears it will imminently be so — and we just uploaded a copy of the 10-minute video we saw.
Sony is making a Horizon MMO — here’s the video and details
The new game is called Horizon Steel Frontiers.

My Gwent set was supposed to be delivered today between 10:30-12:30, and it's now almost 6:00, so I can only assume the UPS guy has stopped to play Gwent with every customer they delivered to today.

Yes! More calling out Generative AI in games as a non-starter! Automatic F for cheating!
For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

I don't care much about awards shows, beyond the novelty, but Clair Obscure Expedition 33 not getting a Grammy nomination for Best Video Game soundtrack is absolutely insane.

Does the selection committee not have ears? Seems pretty important for a music competition.

We are currently dissecting this found picture from following the N7 clues in @kalaelizabeth.bsky.social stream.

The new Mass Effect show not being about Shepard is a huge W. It will be interesting to see what 'ending' it is set after, or if they manifest some sort of event to render the various endings mute.
November 7, 2025 at 5:35 PM
I don't think they will tomorrow, but I think BioWare would only be helping themselves by confirming three things ASAP, and giving the fandom time to adjust

1. If Shepard is or is not back as PC
2. If they are canonizing an ending.
3. If it's set hundreds of years in the future.

I hope we get at least one good crumb for N7 day. I can sustain myself on a single crumb for months.

Your permanent Poppy pin is very nice, but the Poppy Drive is one of the biggest fundraisers that the Royal Canadian Legion does, so please remember to support them annually even if you have a pin already.

Before we started pcap on #horizonforbiddenwest, the team at @guerrilla.bsky.social showed me concept art for #kotallo, which told me so much about him, and informed all of my choices.

It really all does come around full circle. Artists inspiring and encouraging artists is how it’s meant to be!

Why does it hurt so much when you hit your elbow? 😭😭😭
And I don't mean the scientific function of the nerves, I mean why on earth did we as a species evolve in a way we can be reduced to a whimpering mass with a moderate tap on the arm.
What evolutionary purpose did this have? 😭
