Hello. Due to a very stupid mistake on my end I broke my main PC monitor. Repairing it would be too costly and long so I just had to buy a new one.
There are people in much worse financial situations than me but Im still jobless atm+ have scarce savings. Please consider chipping in

I stg the lumping together of GenAI & ‘AI’ (like behaviors & the like) is deliberate obfuscation by AI supporters of what AI is to try to make it seem more widespread & liked than it actually is.

tl;dr: GenAI and game design concepts traditionally referred to as "AI" (enemy behaviors, pathfinding, etc.) are not the same thing, and I'm on my knees begging people to learn the difference, lest we see more bullshit claims like what The Escapist put out re: Blue Prince.
Weird weekend, huh? Took a crack at breaking down the whole Clair Obscur genAI situation, and its bizarre fallout, as best as possible. My main takeaway right now is that people really need to figure out exactly what they're criticizing or it's going to get messy. www.polygon.com/clair-obscur...
The debate over gen AI in games is about to get a lot messier in 2026

"2 week spoiler embargo" is a concept invented by little shits

it should be way more than 2 weeks. not everyone has time or energy to rush the patch in less than 2 weeks after its release. especially ffxiv, a mmo targeted for a greater audience

idk why i naively keep giving my opinion to cis dudes on matters of transphobic bigotry knowing full well they will not read it or acknowledge it or ever reply to me

cool man just no need to listen to the trans girl right. your boundless intellect as an "ALLY" is enough

i tried reading the first few pages of t*rry g**dkind's first novel from his fantasy series just to have a grasp on what bad writing truly is. and then i realised, and understood: its the same fuckin purple prose all those roleplayers and fanfic writers revel in so much

it's good that people are pushing back on the larian ai use but legitimately where was this when e33 did it?

This.

They’ll hear my stance and my reasoning, and my disgust at its use, and be like:

“Well surely she doesn’t mean me, I use it, but I use it the right way, ethically…”

And to them I say: “Yes, I mean you, ESPECIALLY you. In fact you are the WORST. Completely ethically BANKRUPT.”
Sometimes i bring up being an artist to people irl using ai, and theyre like "well i dont use it for art". It's still the same database, it's still the same theft, and i wont engage in the attempted normalization of that.
