Well, crunch is a failure of management planning so either way management has fucked up here

We all need to encourage those around us to - from now - treat video the way we treated *all* content on the internet in the 90s; we just assumed it was fake/lies/weird jokes until we got a better source.
It sucks but the alternative is terrifying.

This goes DOUBLY if the video matches their political alignment.

I'm pretty certain that, as of right now, a bad faith actor could use this technology to convince people that a civil war had started in a country, for example.
We've passed that point.

This is a sad day for online content, but we've reached that point where these tools are creating extremely lifelike false content.
And sure, if you look closely, you still see the problems, but people aren't going to look closely.

If they ridicule you, if they're condescending, I'm serious here, you need to get them by the scruff of the neck and *make* them listen. You need to actively, loudly, annoyingly DISMISS any videos they look at or share. You need to spoil their fun at every opportnity.
It sucks. But we gotta do this.

This news, and that quote, has kinda hit me surprisingly hard.

I want fans of NALE to know, that if I was ever unable to continue the series, I have plans to ensure that you *will* get an ending, even if it's just a write-up and some key art to explain the plot for Chapters V and VI.

Not surprised Ubisoft did this.

They keep making games with massive political overtones (like The Division) but try to back up and say "oh but it's not political".

It's one of the reasons so much of their work has little artistic merit. It's big, flashy, polished... But says nothing.

But for whatever criticisms you can level at Apple (and they are LEGION as far as I'm concerned) they've made some pretty great *looking* sleek, minimalist devices over the years.
What even is that *thing*?!

I have a Nothing Phone 2. Sure, a divisive looking phone. But I love minidisc players! I like things with CGA displays, LED indicators and 34 features no-one's ever used outside of Sony HQ.
Remember that Nokia that could send a message in light when you waved it in the air? I had one of those!

Eeeeh, so... I will go down with this ship:
Though it has dated a lot due to being part of that early digital anime era, I still believe Seed was good.
But Destiny had retcons and character assassinations that practically reach into the past to tarnish it's predecessor.

Ah, Brotherhood of the Wolf.

The french period drama styled martial arts movie where someone has Ivy's sword from soul calibur.

And there's a sentence rarely said

Personally I find the Steam Deck, Switch and PSVita all much of a muchness, beause *all* were too big to go in the pocket and necessitated a bag. It's like a threshold.
But I guess my point is, portable device - we can differ on this point while neither of us are wrong.

... but it goes on a shelf and you barely even look at it. Certainly it would need to weigh a lot more before you'd complain.
But a portable; what's mobile for one person is useless for another.
