How is it fucking Sunday night already

Combat in Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered immediately feels much better than Soul Reaver 2 Remastered did, which is nice because there's also a lot of it here. Structure of this one feels much faster so far, only intended to play the beginning and ended up doing four of the 13 chapters.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, I missed the order cutoff for the Spider-Man/Superman crossover book because I confused it with the Superman/Spider-Man book when I got emailed about it. Fuck fuck fuckkkkkkkkk

Placeholder assets in a game should look obnoxiously temporary, so obvious that no one would mistake it for the final asset. In past games we've used the doge dog (rip) as an icon, hot pink versions of characters, our CEO's head, etc. If you use a temp asset that seems passable, it may stay there.

They can't say it out loud because the answer to how AI is making games faster/better to develop is "we don't have to pay as many wages." But Anna, "AI is just making workers more productive." So are those workers getting a raise? No. Are they continuing to staff up? No. Are the game worse? Yes.

It is not rocket science that developers who are paid/treated well and given creative control make better games. The people up top literally just don't care: they want their money for themselves.

Was Soul Reaver 2 always this fucking dark? I’m in the Swamps in the second era and I can’t see *shit*

PinkNews:

great reporting here. basically yes DLSS 5 is running a gen AI model on the 2D output and nothing more. it doesn’t know anything about the 3D scene, textures / models / lighting / PBR other than what the model infers by looking at a frame. TL:DR, they sped up slop. youtu.be/D0EM1vKt36s?...

Oh this is a really important win. So you know people who use AI generated images and then copy that as a physical painting? This means that as it has no copyright protection (because AI does not), if it's too similar to the existing art AI ripped off, it is easier to fight back legally.

imagine coming up with a gambling scheme so sleazy and questionable that even FUCKING NEVADA finds it obnoxious.

What’s crazy is that this really drives home what critics of AI have been saying: these AI products that companies push out and make us pay for have largely been trained and made from the free,unpaid,and public labor of people collecting data for them. And the ppl are completely unaware of this

Enough people in legal field have echoed not to do this but let me tell you… …I have first hand in my job seen businesses lose out on literally millions of dollars because they tried to push clearly AI generated legal documents and got blacklisted from any serious partnerships. It’s insane.

The agents shifted uncomfortably on the sidelines of a makeshift octagon at the FBI Academy gym while reigning UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje pummeled Patel with a barrage of jabs, hooks, and leg kicks in a demonstration meant to improve the agents’ effectiveness in the field.

It has come to my attention that the New York State Fair (90 minutes from my house) will be holding a Shrek -themed rave this year. Just thought you should all know.

Good news, my doctor has agreed to prescribe me Ozempic - I'll start with enough for one month, and then we'll have a follow-up appointment to assess long term. Additionally I'm being referred to a sleep clinic who will be able to assess me for a CPAP machine. Just need to hear from them!

It is important I get 8,294,400 pixels (4K) at 120 frames a second. Otherwise it just doesn’t feel real. It is ok if half of those pixels are just kinda guesses based on zettabytes of YouTube and pornhub my graphics card watched
