It’s always, “I think this artform is beneath me”.

Musicians using AI art for their albums because why pay someone when I don’t care about that step of quality.

Likewise artistic gamedevs using AI music as background noise because why pay someone when I don’t care about that step of quality.
i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.

Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

Was explaining to my 8-year-old cousin who has been saying 6-7 all the time that every generation had inside vocab but I couldn’t come up with an example on the fly.

Five minutes later, while taking him to 7-11, I saw the Slurpee machines and internally went, “Daily Dose”.

I just had to wait.

I've seen the take that Metaphor has a soft back third (don't agree, but w/e) and think it means they have a re-release planned to 'fix it' and if they do such a thing it will probably not feel like stuff that was always meant to be there, it never is

It's always weird that people don't realize the Atlus re-releases are not shit they had planned before hand, like some of it is, but stuff like a lot of the P5R content centering Akechi was clearly a conscious reaction to how popular he was

like they never feel like they 'fix' things.

a favorite genre of posts is people whining about americans talking about thanksgiving

"shut up about thanksgiving, not everybody celebrates it" they say, in western spaces where the majority of english-speaking users are americans who the holiday is indeed culturally relevant to

PSA: They will be delisting the original Yakuza 0 on December 8th. You can upgrade your copy of Y0 to the Director's Cut version for about $15 USD.

This is also really good. They make such specific wording on these that they probably want you to abuse. You can also just immediately exit when you get a goal done if you're only there for 1-2 things.
there was an air ride check that was like “finish this race in 01:35” and I kept consistently getting around 01:50 and I couldn’t figure out how to do it that much faster so I changed the laps from 2 to 1 and it worked

CORRECTION: people care, but pointing out or raising concern that these women are getting rail thin is dismissed as rude comments, sensationalist rumors, or woke body shaming.

genuinely losing my mind at "Like many of you, we're big fans of Monster Hunter. It's why we put this Superdrop together. But in our excitement, we missed the mark on elements like card selection and faithfully integrating the world and mechanics of Monster Hunter."

Not like the Wizard of Oz respected the sanctity of a teenage girl’s body whatsoever but it is genuinely shocking to me that Cynthia and Ariana seem to be shrinking to skeletal frames and nobody seems to care? Not even their stan armies?

Been running a bit where I try to play as much of Air Riders as possible without ever touching City Trial.

Anyway I'm streaming City Trial tomorrow.

Nice to hear a leader valuing human art and artists instead of asking AI to make a video where he literally shits on us from a jet. I don’t mean to be controversial but I think this is better.
New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.
