I'll admit, I was half-expecting the 7.3 animation quality bump to be a one-off, some extra effort for the "patch finale"; but having just finished 7.4 it looks like the elaborate cutscenes might actually become the new normal. Won't hear me complaining. #FFXIV

Fallout New Vegas, Majora's Mask, ER Nightreign, and so many games that are just mods of other games proves you can make something great out of things that are already made

we don't NEED bright new shiny things to make great art, it's okay

Keep hearing devs say that they only use ai for "pre-concept art"

There is no pre-concept art. There is concept art. That's where the idea starts. With the concept.

You're using ai for concept art.

Thank you for this amazing initiative 🥺🩷 Always love your art and am kind of obsessed with drawing FFXIV art myself (and my Miqo'te 🫣)

Last night's biggest surprise was Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, led by Casey Hudson, who directed KOTOR (and Anthem). Exciting news for lots of people... but Lucasfilm says the studio was founded this year, which means that 2030 is an *optimistic* guess. Maybe it'll be a PlayStation 7 game

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

(Not so) brief analysis on #Dispatch 's Blonde Blazer, inspired by @jocat.net 's conflicted thoughts on her.

Man, the weekly release schedule for #Dispatch really turned out genius, huh;
Look at how the online "water cooler talks" popped off.

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

Oh potatoes and molasses! 🍂🎃

It’s that time of year again! Alongside your annual rewatch of OVER THE GARDEN WALL, you should watch BEYOND THE BROOK. It’s the Over the Garden Wall inspired TTRPG actual play I produced with some incredible talent.

Check it out!: youtube.com/playlist?lis...
A vignetted image of a dimly lit forest trail with a few rays of sunlight making it through the canopy in a painterly style. In the center stand 5 characters, a young White girl with ginger hair dressed up as a witch, a young adult person who seems to be made of orange and purple honey, a scruffy young adult with tanned skin and brown wolf ears and a tail, a grey translucent young kid who seems to be made of wind and smoke, and a Black young adult woman in a dress made of leaves and flowers with a fox laying by her side. On the right-hand side, cloaked in and made of shadow is The Fiend, watching the kids with glowing white eyes. The image reads “Beyond the Brook"

The painfully mixed feelings of seeing an outlet describe Bloodlines 2 almost verbatim to how I would describe Bloodlines 1
#VampireTheMasquerade #Bloodlines2

www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/va...
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is richly authentic, intriguingly written, dripping with brooding atmosphere, and… not very fun to play, unfortunately
Awkward combat, stealth, and traversal undermine the game's narrative flair.

Very interesting algorithm analysis, which explains the repeated problems with content moderation getting in the way of social justice

tldr: it's always good to block a TERF or a white supremacist or any other type of fascist

original post: www.tumblr.com/chiptrillino...
Screenshot of the Advocate article headline showing an image of bluesky's logo and JKR, with the title "Outcry grows after multiple trans uers were targeted for mild criticisms of the anti-trans billionaire" Screenshot of tumblr text post by fourohfourlifenotfound August 24 part 1/3: "If we are ever going to stop this, then you guys need to start learning why this happens. And it's not always because some executive made a decision to favor a TERF. It's because the technology is broken in a way TERFs have learned to use to their advantage. So content moderation is a HUGE task. It is incredibly inefficient to manually monitor all user reports-- when you "flag" something as spam or inappropriate or 'inciting harm' (what Blueskye is saying the banned users had in their posts). So what actually happens is that the bulk of it is reviewed by machine. The precise "how" is a bit of a black box (if you say exactly, it makes it more vulnerable to being bypasses), but we generally know it's a bit of machine learning ("ai", but not he chatgpt kind) and a bit of automation. Generically this gets referred to as an "algorithm" (which is a meaningless word I don't have time to unpack here). The TERFs have a formula. A battle plan, if you will. I've been watching them use it for almost a decade. And they play social media sites like a fiddle every single time." Text post part 2/3: "The way it works is that they coordinate attacks on targets they dislike. (Usually trans people, but ace discourse is a notable example of targets not necessarily fitting that demographic.) They send links to each other of posts to report. They'll flag it for whatever the nearest thing they can is. The blueskye users were wishing ill to JK Rowling, so "inciting harm" was the excuse selected. "Inappropriate or sexually explicit content" is a common selection for other trans content. Then what happens is the content moderation "algorithm" sees a huge influx of reports for a certain post or user. And instead of making a human manually review all of that, it automatically initiates a ban or takedown. And if the "algorithm" has word censorship built in, it will begin to auto-flag for things containing words in posts frequently flagged, so it begins to auto-flag the word trans itself. This has been happening for almost a decade. There was a trans youtuber who proved TERF hater group chats flagged his videos so much that it started auto-demonitizing identical videos with the word trans in the title, but leaving ones without the word alone. I strongly suspect this is why we see huge amounts of trans women banned for no reason on tumblr. And this is clearly what is happening now." Text post part 3/3: "How do we fix it? There's no easy solution. All the things about the "algorithm" that make moderation easier for the social media platforms are the exact reasons it's so difficult to defeat. It's hard to teach a machine what's a genuine flag and a malicious one. Again, it's been almost a decade since the issue was raised with youtube, and there has yet to be a solution for rooting out malicious coordinated flagging. But here's one thing that can help: get TERFs off of social media. Stop letting them bait you into petty fights. Learn how to identify them. Block and report them. " Response by drtanner: "Blocking TERFs and other assorted bigots is especially effective on bsky, because the block function there is nuclear. In short, if you block someone, not only can they not view your account or any of your posts, but any replies they made on your posts will no longer be viewable by others, even if they haven't personally blocked that user themselves. If they quote you, you can even decouple your post from their quote. In short, blocking someone on bsky produces mutual hiding of content, and it's extremely effective at starving these cunts of oxygen. Bigots who can't convince people to fight with them and whose posts don't gain any traction because they're blocked by everyone and their dog leave the platform, i.e. Jesse Singal. It works, people just need to remember to do it more. Preemptive blocking of dickheads before they start shit with you is the best way to prevent things like this from happening. "

YoshiP's lodestone post about mods is very well written and comes at it very respectful, but I can't help but be a bit sad that even he has to pre-defend against pancake-waffle takes as well
A quote from the FFXIV lodestone post by Naoki Yoshida addressing mods for FFXIV "In other words, Player A sees the rewards each player has earned fairly within the context of the game’s rules. Player B sees a modified version of the game, but these changes are visible only to Player B themselves, and thus fall within the realm of individual enjoyment." highlighted in blue: "(Please note that this is not intended as a judgment on the virtue of one approach versus the other.)"

Finally got around to playing #FFXIV 7.2 and 7.3 MSQs, courtesy of the free login campaign.
Narrative-wise I found myself preferring 7.2, but 7.3 was a mechanical and audio-visual marvel I want to see much more of in the future.

Looks like VtM:Bloodlines 2 is shaping up to be a solid narrative action game and a worthy addition to the World of Darkness...
But it will inevitably suffer from bearing the Bloodlines name. The name makes old fans expect RPG crunch and that ain't there.
