New Yakuza every 3 months.
Sega says it will start implementing efficient development methods, including the use of AI.
However, because it knows AI use "faces strong resistance in creative areas", it pledges to only use it in "appropriate use cases".

I can't believe that I'm just expected to play darts with lefties. Keep them out of right handed sports!
Self-ID for left handed to be ended.
Will now require a ten year wait and the opinion of three psychologists.
Firstline treatments to include breaking all the fingers on the left hand with a mallet.
NHS to offer sinister hand amputation to persistent cases.

This just made me think. Who's idea was it to use the term "nicked" for both "arrested" and "stealing"? "I was nicked because I nicked a car" for example.
I've never heard anyone say "nicked" except on The Bill.
Bravo!

Amazon has seemingly removed the Banana Fish AI dub, likely in response to the vocal outcry
It should be noted that they can remove this AI dub, or all of their AI dubs
But they can’t remove the fact that they chose to try to do it in the first place.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

* People that drive Cybertrucks are not good.
* I noticed a lot of people with Cybertrucks are guys.
* Is this because guys are mostly worse than girls??
“Well. You’re not wrong. I mean, there’s more to it than that, but… yeah…”

The Tories are named for an Irish word, 'Toraidhe'/'Tóraí' meaning highwayman, or robber.
So we could help you out again by renaming UK Labour the "Sleeveens" from 'Slíbhín', meaning conman, honourless person or habitual liar.

Listened to 3-4 Star Trek audiobooks released in the past 8 years, and I can't get over the fact writers keep describing how old or fat (or both) the women are. Oh, but only for original characters, not for canon ones.

how come "realism" in games only applies to shit that sucks and not, for instance, the fact that most flashlights do not actually run out of batteries after 3 minutes, and good quality tools will literally outlive you if you take good care of them

The sheer number of ads touting AI tells you how fucked and over-leveraged these companies are. You don't spend this much on marketing a thing you called "inevitable" unless you are seriously underwater and it ain't inevitable
