Why am I so against generative AI in games? Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

So Is everyone cool with 2 of the 6 Game of the Year candidates openly using generative AI? Or is there some type of sliding scale between Clair Obscur>Kingdom Come>The Alters>Black OPs? If Clair Obscur wins this year....how many GOTY nominees in the top 6 will feature AI art next year?

29 long years have passed since I founded the emulation archive, Zophar's Domain, on 11.9.96. To this very day, the site still stands as a testament to an era that never actually disappeared but continues to live in the hearts of retrogamers all over the word. Emulation Forever!

Gonna take a bit of a break from streaming while i focus on these last few weeks of school. If everything goes well i'll be back about mid-December.

Close enough lol

"6-7"?! Boy I say boy you gen alpha kids cant be doin' that! Your signifiers need signs boy! You've laid a rhetorical claim to an empty space son! You're creatin' a nihilistic dialectic! Your broccoli hairs obfuscatin' some much needed communication! Find some MEANIN', kid!

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm

If your company cannot hire any voice actors, don't put voice acting in your game. This AI voice acting crap is bad.

Me as a 3D environment artist seeing people buying the absolutely preposterous theory that an open world game would simply load its entire ass map all at once all the time because people are only interested in a narrative that drives outrage.

Ok real question: is the One Piece TCG actually good or am I seeing it everywhere because Bandai-Namco has infinite advertising money??

No streams this weekend! Current week of meteorology reading is really intensive so i gotta hunker down and get that worked through

A thread w/ brief thoughts on some of the demos i've played during next fest. 🧵 First up, UMIGARI. The vibes on this game are absolutely fucked and i can't wait for the full game to come out lmao. Spooked me good without the need for jumpscares. store.steampowered.com/app/3772960/...

In #Japan: Mahjong grows in popularity among students, fueled by game’s portrayal in manga and anime "A “pastime for adults” and a form of gambling, but the tile-based game is now growing in popularity among junior high and high school students." www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-as...

No I do not want to sign into software. 90% of software should just run on your computer and do the thing it's built to do. Not everything needs to be signed into. There's no reason I should have to sign into Adobe Acrobat reader!

Here's the Extended Stream Forecast for the Sept 27th weekend~
