I would hate it if this post was seen by cute, funny, awesome, or indeed any Vtuber, big or small. Please don't share this post with other Vtubers, please!

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.

So thats CoD, Arc Raiders and The Alters in for games that 'Used AI Slop But Dont Think We'd Notice or Care'

If a zombie bites you, you become a zombie. If a vampire bites you, you become a vampire. If a werewolf bites you, you become a werewolf. If I bite you, nothing happens because I'm immune to rabies, yet I'M the rude one.

"I'll just make a clip from stream and post it!" Me, 90 minutes later... "Where's the third meme sound effect?"

Say what you want about Mr Beast, he's keeping Defunctland in steady employment with this latest move.

Wait a fuckin' minute. Why's it called "Silent Hill" when it's on the side of a lake?

It's that time of year! The @desertbus.org charity event starts this Friday and once again I'll be making the poster for it! Every year I watch the entire week long event and add their antics to the poster over time, which you can buy! Find out more info about the event at desertbus.org #DB2025

I WANT TO SEE YOUR VTUBER! It's the TRASH OR PASS (A slightly less thirsty Smash or Pass/Vtuber review! To enter, post your (tasteful) PNG or Reference down below! Liking and Reposting helps! And tune in on the 29th as my carefully selected* panel assembles!

Glad to see Polygon cover the resistance of game developers to generative AI--and to be able to speak briefly to one of the greatest dangers of this entire thing. Gen AI doubles down on making MORE SPACE for production issues that *already make games worse.* www.polygon.com/arc-raiders-...

Someone gave me this weird rock, dunno about you but I've got this strange feeling about it. Something about a Mega Stone, called it Alnessite? (make your own here! www.pokeos.com/tools/mega-s...)

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Once again, your reminder that the Gen AI stuff is trying to solve problems Supergiant solved by *HIRING VOICE ACTORS*

So much love to Eurogamer Ira been heartbreaking see industry friends praise this game as it actively works to take away their jobs

arc raiders, alters, same story aftermath.site/the-alters-a...

This Week On Stream (no fancy graphic misprint edition!) Katamari on Tuesday! Will we finish? Megabonk on Thursday! Arm Your Skateboarding Skeletons! Break on Friday for a week... ...but expect to see me on PotionBrew's channel for more understank, I mean, Undertale.

🎉 THE RACCOIN DEMO IS LIVE! 🎉 Push coins, stack towers, spin the wheel, and score BIG COMBOS! Oh, and silly me! Did I forget to mention I’ve also added a GLOBAL CHALLENGE! To find out more, play on Steam! #roguelike #demo #indiegame

Wait a fuckin' minute. Why's it called "Silent Hill" when it's on the side of a lake?

Mods, set off fireworks when they're trying to nap.

People need to acknowledge, this is the real slop game. Hades 2 had voice actors on staff for the same reason the ARC raiders Devs claim they need AI. This is a solved problem! At least the "friendslop" games fuckin' care about how the games are made!

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice. They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

🎉 IT’S HAPPENING! 🎉 The RACCOIN demo is coming November 10th! Expect more coins, more chaos, and more combos. Mark your calendars! #roguelike #indiegame #demo

Say what you want about Mr Beast, he's keeping Defunctland in steady employment with this latest move.

Did he say what I think he said? www.twitch.tv/alness49/cli...

EVERYONE SHUT UP, SMEXY BEN STARR JIMBO CALENDAR.

Every time I think I need to do a rebrand or just basically align all my usernames into one, I remember that I've been grandfathered into the perfect emote prefix. Like you'd need to be partner to get one this good now!

I feel like we're focusing on the wrong thing here... #Vtuberclips #Possum

"I'll just make a clip from stream and post it!" Me, 90 minutes later... "Where's the third meme sound effect?"

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back! Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary. Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest! #MundaneHalloween

Look, it's simple. There's a direct line from your monies and your clout to anti LGBTQ legislation. Just don't put it there. Because the normalising of AI with Darth Vader RP wasn't bad enough.

Very important factor to this

THIS WEEK ON STREAM! The O R B will continue until morale improves with Once Upon A Katamari... Before morale takes a hit with Salt and Sanctuary... And on Saturday it's the return of Alness After Dark, as we dive back into Town of Us with a ton of us.

Lord help me I'm back on my bullshit again.

Time for a return of an old favorite...

If a zombie bites you, you become a zombie. If a vampire bites you, you become a vampire. If a werewolf bites you, you become a werewolf. If I bite you, nothing happens because I'm immune to rabies, yet I'M the rude one.

It’s his day.

Ive dreamed a meme? A scuffed drawing of a possum with a floaty, floating in an underground storm drain, saying "We've gone way beyond a drawing" though I feel that last word was changed. Is this anything?

The Fan Festival 2026 in Anaheim player-exclusive ticket drawing application will close on Sunday, November 2 at 11:59 p.m. (PST)! 📣 Be sure to review the ticket details and submit your application if eligible! 🎟️ sqex.to/taBFf

The morning sun, come to vanquish this horrible night. Happy Halloween!

i have good news for folks asking for pacifist runs in truck-kun is supporting me from another world* *if you want to hit people with a car and/or watch me throw it back

On one hand, hell yeah On the other hand, there goes my plans to dress up in a maid outfit and ask yoshiP "what role am I?"

...BLACK MAGE WITH A GUN? BLACK MAGE WITH A GUN!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN NEW ANIMAL CROSSING UPDATE IN THE NEW YEAR?!

Okay... Real talk kids. I have a question I'm curious about. Have you played a game because you've seen it on my stream?

"I understand..." *Me, not understanding*

Oh everyone is "Yay, spooky month! Can't wait to get scared!" And yet when you hit them with a reminder of the inexorable march of time and suddenly their heart's not in it anymore. Gif unrelated.

Me when the voices start again.
