re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

Ah, interesting - they're doing a slightly polished up re-release of the original Guild Wars (with all expansions built in) - out in a couple weeks for $20.

Always good to see legacy games like this getting some love. Especially as there's still nothing like the OG Guild Wars. One of a kind game.

Happens so much in gaming now. Yes, video games have always adopted new tech, and AI like machine learning has been a part of that. Hell, Rogue used generative algorithms in the 80s.

But the use of GenAI in gaming is new, and quite different. Although companies using it love to say it isn't.
Conflating machine learning tools with GenAI and LLMs are such a favorite of these bad faith arguments, too. Like, machines studying X-rays to better understand cancer is not the same thing as Open AI swallowing all my books via piracy to regurgitate sentences that sound similar. It's just not.

The thing about all the big shooters right now being compromised by AI workflows and coming out of BDS-targeted publishers is that STRAFTAT is free and just received a major update adding 50+ new maps.

We are all, at best, temporarily abled.
Yall real silent about disability injustices because most of you don’t see disability as a thing that can happen to you.

We are “aww those poor people”. Meanwhile disability can happen to anyone at any moment and those injustices you ignored? They become your experiences too

the eurogamer arc raiders review made this the crux of their argument but it really got me thinking of how insanely boring and small-minded you have to be to rob yourself of the opportunity for a voice actor to really make an imprint on your game, community, and legacy

imagine being so dull you rob yourself of a working relationship that gets you, like, lance reddick's "indeed" in destiny, jeff steitzer's... literally anything in halo multiplayer, chris edgerly's "i am!" in apex legends, steven barr's "SHEPAAAARD!!!!" in mass effect

in the end, no one is gonna remember "player stories" and "and then this happened" shit. they're anecdotes. but a character written with intent, voiced with intent, directed with intent? that's the shit that persists through generations, man. how lame do you have to be to want to actively avoid that
