Shadow of the Colossus

(ELDERLY PLAYER CHARACTER VOICE OVER) I didn't know Trico could do a lightning move. That scared the shit out of me. I wish I had a lightning move.

Anyways. I should find my eldest some kpop demon hunters fan merch...

My father looked out for me and taught me many useful things, but he was also physically abusive and in many ways an awful person... and that's about how it feels engaging with hoyo products now Inspiring stories and cute ships from a company actively making the world a worse place for REAL ppl 😔

This article was briefly acknowledged on the Honkai Star Rail subreddit but immediately downvoted by users for having "zero sources" to its claims. The sources have since been found and here are some screenshots that demonstrate exactly how deeply ingrained genAI tech is with Mihoyo and its titles.

Any voice actor still working for Hoyo needs to seriously rethink their partnership with such a company. Without a union contract Mihoyo is going to steal your likeness for generative filth. Without a union contract you are a victim of a greedy gacha company.

I originally thought Hoyo should've just signed the NAVA Rider. But now I feel that was not good enough protections with all that has been revealed. This is an AI-first mentality from a company with an addictive fanbase. Anything less than a union contract is unacceptable.

Actors spend hours, days, months, *years* fighting for better pay, better rights, etc. Fuck most of these companies. They don't pay enough. Especially anime companies. But that doesn't – DOES. NOT. – excuse people giving companies ways to further disenfranchise actors.

Sussie Magpie from Kpop Demon Hunters, in Guache!

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears: archive.is/ur35j

Unsurprisingly, the guy who made the video that kept getting passed around on socials "exposing" SAG, turned out to be a pos! Who knew! 🙄

Those who attacked the voice actors and sided with the drama grifters owe the voice actors some serious apologies, given the events that have been unfolding over the past year. And it turns out their concerns about use of generative AI were indeed well founded.

Mujin, known sloptuber and the guy who made that clown ass video against SAG-AFTRA that harassment against voice actors has been a friend of Tectone and possibly Asmongold for years. Here he is admitting to knowing that Tectone was a rapist and not cutting ties with him for over a year.

Oh that explains a lot actually

Me when I'm blessedly separated from hsr fandom for months and suddenly remember how much of the discourse is about how there's too few men characters and the only the waifus are meta, or something LOL

Kill the reflexive urge to engage with anything you think is neat by finding out what the worst people you can imagine are saying about it first. Feel what you're feeling and move on with your day.

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year! Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him. He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary. His health is declining. Public outrage might save his life. Say his name:

There were no good orcs because orcs don’t exist. What they are meant to embody does exist. Cruelty. Sadism. Compliance to brutal authority. Wanton destruction. Hatred of the powerless. Cowardice in the face of bravery. The debate is over. There are no good orcs.

my partner describing Death Stranding 2 as "post-apocalytic FedEx" 🤣 I mean... it's accurate but it sounds absurd!

the person who adamantly only calls themselves a writer (that's me, hi) got possessed and painted this in 30hrs #danheng #imbibitorlunae #honkaistarrail

I'm so excited for snow this weekend. It only happens 1-2 times per winter, MAYBE. Even now the forecast seems iffy.

1000 years ⟡🚂 #dancae

In case you weren’t aware, Honkai Star Rail is introducing a Pom-Pom AI chatbot in the next game update. Apparently it might tell you something entirely inaccurate but hey it’s not like there are human writers who could come up with accurate responses instead.

White supremacy is an entity that wants to survive. It has no problem destroying white people that threaten it, nor uplifting people of color that support it.

Mihoyo/Hoyoverse is pro AI and GenAI. Their job listings currently include around 194 Al-related positions. Kuro Games also open position for AI and GenAI. Many companies will follow these

you will have to pry the millennial “lol” from my cold dead hands. i don’t know how else to express minor despair. if i didn’t say “lol” after admitting i’m a husk inside, i’d have to develop emotional resilience, and i simply don’t have time for that

"Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE."

Burning out high performing staff so they can replace them with younger yet-to-be burned out high performing staff is such a fucked up mentality. No job should be a meat grinder

it's my birthday today! as always all I really want is for more ppl to see my art, so a repost would make me very happy 💖

mentally I’m still here #honkaistarrail #amphoreus #dancae #danheng #caelus

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

It's really only Jan 9, huh

ICO. The entire game was a stunning masterpiece, but those early castle areas just had me stopping CONSTANTLY to admire the lighting. No game since has done this quite so well as ICO imo.

Any studio that says they're only using their own assets for an A.I. model is lying to you, likely intentionally. Generative A.I. models require an insane amount of existing work to create anything that looks new and decent. Categorizing said data would take years.

“Born from Pain” Some days, there are no words, only grief, shock & a heaviness that sits in the body. Yesterday’s violence in Minneapolis has left many of us reeling. I’m holding space for that sorrow. This piece was created understanding that pain doesn’t disappear simply because we wish it away.

This past summer our house was hit by a stray bullet because someone on neighboring property was firing a semi automatic for fun. The neighbors were so shocked and apologetic because the person was ex military and it's a commonly held belief that no one with training can mishandle a firearm ever.

I think everyone needs to come to terms with the fact that no matter what Trump and regime does none of them will ever face consequences for their actions. Trump should never have been allowed to run again after January 6th. The fact that he’s in the White House proves this country has failed.

So so tired, but I feel like I will have nightmares tonight 😔

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

"They're just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE." An ICE agent just murdered a 37-year-old married woman, a US citizen, shooting her in the face at point blank range. No officer was in front of the car. No officer was run over. No officer went to the hospital. The bystander lived there.

In case anyone wants to know my feelings on AI as a queer performer outside of the enormous environmental and ethical concerns.

There are children today who lost their mother, murdered in cold blood by ICE in front of her wife and dog, while the psychopath who leads them lies about what we all see on the video on national TV

On December 31st Mihoyo posted several new job listings, including a whole page of AI themed jobs. Take a look.
