I didn't apply for shit, I've got 0 audience, I just voted for some games... why was this sent to me?

Gerard Way but he's a white Nintendo YouTuber with really strong feelings about New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Fair enough

I higly doubt the use of GenAI was an executive level decision, and I don't think it's fair to judge the game for something that might well have been a genuine slip-up. Who knows, maybe they didn't even generate it and just found it online. We can't know, and I think it's unfair to pretend we can.

I think them immediately replacing it upon discovering its existence says more than the fact they used it in the first place. Other devs might've said it doesn't matter, but they didn't, and changed it immediately.

I don't think this is particularly fair to say given that hundreds of employees worked on the game. It's entirely possible that someone during the process used it without consulting anyone and it slipped through because it was intended to be temporary.

GTA is no equivalent to anything Toa, the anticipation for it makes me feel similarly to how the world must have felt during the Cuban missile crisis.

Lock in

Someone who is good at economy please help me budget this

If we abstract the networks that comprise the right away from the moral contents of their ideas--you don't need a political science degree to know it's all bad, gross shit--we can see that the right is facing a crisis of reproduction. Trump is old, his political coalition was put together in 2016

But after blocklisting bad feelings off the TL, many have stopped paying attention to what is unfolding in full, public view, on the right. And it's serious stuff; there's an epistemic danger that comes from reducing the right to a big amorphous blob of Evil. They face the same problems as the Dems:

I think it's because *arrogantly steps on pedestal* the culture here is too caught up in the psychic lure of posting, where the act of posting is Doing Politics, which means that they are morally superior for leaving the Bad Place (Twitter) and posting on a Good Website, safe from the Bad Guys.
