steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI art slop, because your $70 means nothing anymore
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI generated artwork which makes the $70 feel like a complete rip-off.

I wrote a short story about this in 2017. 8 years ago.
It was a sci-fi horror story. It feels like a Torment Nexus thing all over again.

This isn't the first trans pride flag raising at Salt Lake City Hall, but it is the first time for the new Sego Visibility Flag they made in response to Utah's ban on pride flags on government property. Project Rainbow and other orgs worked with the city for this to kick off Trans Awareness Week.

Listen, I didn’t design the Ion Sparrow C, I merely play one on tabletop and see my enemies driven before me and hear the lamentations of their women.

MAGA men, by and large, won’t care about anything regarding Trump in the Epstein files. Remember, guys like Nick Fuentes, Matt Walsh, & others have said many times teen girls are more “fertile” and should be marrying older Christian men to give them many babies. MAGA women, some may defect. ANYWAY…

We talked about this a bit at a couple of cons this year about D&D as a political punching bag over the years... This article is great.
The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Man, I just can't believe the Democrats got nothing in exchange for their treasonous capitulation.
UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

Someone needs to do some roleplaying with Chuck Schumer about what a minority leader does.
Revolting Sen: We want to cut a deal.
Actual Minority Leader: Cool, do that and you lose all your committee assignments and we won't back any of your legislation.
