steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI art slop, because your $70 means nothing anymore
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI generated artwork which makes the $70 feel like a complete rip-off.

Whenever I make a mistake while playing an instrument I feel it necessary to grimace and shake my head dramatically, to let you know I didn't like that either. We're all trying to find the guy who did this

Scully, I’ve seen this type of thing before. Ancient Pagan tribes used to worship a figure they believed had drowned. They wrote of spontaneous combustion, an inability to make progress, and in extreme cases, trapping innocents in a place outside of time. They called the malevolent figure... BEN.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

The composer of Virtua Fighter and Lumines goes out in an actual rice field with a Pioneer deck and trumpet and spins D&B with occasional trumpet solos. Unbelievably charming
