Ask literally any voice actor if they get royalties from the video games they worked on. They will tell you no. They might even laugh. Now imagine any developer actively trying to use AI VO to save money wanting to offer something like that.

Hot freaking dog YES! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bun... youtu.be/dtD2IdJ1nVo

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

"This use of GenAI is fine because VAs signed contracts to relinquish their rights". Well yeah, have you seen what happens to those who don't want to sign off on this? Can you really call that consent when the alternative is losing (or never getting) a job?

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips. If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!

My bestie @taki-wan-en.bsky.social said this last night and my body reacted on its own to make this.

Fun interview I got to do with Leveling Up with Benjamin Banks! Super chill podcast that interviews lots of cool voice actors like me, so check them out! Thanks again for having me on! Was tons of fun! ⭐️🐰💙 #voiceactor #onepiece #momonosuke #wanoarc youtu.be/L-TeSH9T-2E?...

Sorry for doom/ventposting. Just... overwhelmed at the moment.

This is insanity. People are being pushed to the brink, here. The Democrats had their chance to actually stand up to the Republicans, force them to take responsibility for their actions, and they caved. If things don't get better, soon? I wouldnt be surprised to see full blown riots.

What it feels like to watch Democrats constantly cave to Republicans. @teamfourstar.bsky.social @kaiserneko.bsky.social

Oh for the love of Sharing, since I just googled these so I could leave angry voicemails telling these motherfuckers to hold the line Schumer's DC office number: 202-224-6542 Gillibrand's DC office number: (202) 224-4451

THIS IS SO GOOD HOLY SHIT

Hello! After an entire year, I finally finished working on this animation! And apologies for being silent for long periods of time recently, but I was completely locked in😁 It should premiere this coming Friday, 2:00 PM PST. More details in the video link below 👍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7_9...

C'mon people. 200k!

Chuds with the most vile unattractive personality be like “you need to care about the male loneliness epidemic” right after arguing that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

Quickly running up against my limit with finding out some funny/cool video I just shared was actually A.I. Trying to keep the vitriol down about it, because I'm very close to saying something I'd probably regret later, but it's... infuriating.

10/10 take. No notes.

“But it’s not voiceover, it’s just text.” Yes and writers shouldn’t be getting replaced by this sort of thing. “They couldn’t generate responses to every possible thing asked” Yeah and expecting any NPC to be able to has clear downsides and trying to will result in bland, unimpressive dialogue.

I do think Gravy Seals is my #1 name for ICE goons.

Hey, friendly reminder that Scott Cawthon's donations to the GOP literally contributed to SNAP suspension and you shouldn't buy or stream Five Nights at Freddy's anything.

If you're wondering how this will go Square Enix handed off their mobile Octopath game to NetEase who immediately started using ChatGPT to translate everything resulting in text like this. When players complained they started asking fans to fix their translations in exchange for in-game currency

remember all those hot takes during the primary about how Mamdani was the candidate for rich white liberals? a "champagne socialist" ? yeah, about that

I can't wait to see all of my mutuals that play Fortnite regularly to not touch the game for the entirety of the season in solidarity of all of their trans homies! It's so nice knowing so many people that aren't just allies when it's convenient for them! 🙂💖 Hint. Fucking. Hint.

This game's stupendous. Sharp writing met by great animation and stellar acting. I hope we get more like it. I will say, though? While I enjoy the gameplay segments (specifically the actual dispatch segments)... there is a part of me that would've enjoyed this as a show all on its own.

Dispatch has sold 1 million copies in 10 days www.gematsu.com/2025/11/disp...

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

ITS OFFICIAL XOLO Is officially PORTGAS D ACE IN THE NETFLIX LIVE ACTION ONE PIECE & our boy has started training to get that Ace body with Michael B. Jordan’s Creed coach! Let’s discuss 🔥🔥

HOW TO FEEL ALIVE

Mamdani: "We believe in standing up for those we love. Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many Black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job ... your struggle is ours too."

One thing I’ve learned about VO land is you can abuse friends + partners, ruin people’s reputations or lives, throw everyone under the bus, use people as stepping stones, behave unprofessionally, violate NDAs, recast projects and lie about why But don’t criticize any of this or you’re the villain.

Wouldn't that mean you just can't read kanji?

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

In other good news: Prop 50 passed in no time, allowing California to fight back against the redistricting in Texas. Democratic candidates for governor won in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It was a sweep for the Dems in Virginia with its first female governor, Lt. Governor, and attorney general.

We now go live to Andrew Cuomo for his concession speech.
