Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from. tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this. 🧵⬇️

The only immediate and TANGIBLE way of pushing back against this is to *cancel subscriptions*. If they have 90 shows and push out 10 AI dubs, they can start marketing “we have over 100+ shows!” It’s not about quality, but the scope of offering. *Your* subscription money is used in part to fund it.

Retrofitting memes

Desperately wish I had the budget to hire professionals to adapt and voice the first episode just to spite the people behind this decision.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Just in case it wasn’t clear that we’re making the most shameless, self-indulgent podcast around town, here’s us talking for three hours about a remake that will probably never happen.

Aw yeah! This is happening...again! The Hill Is Always Greener asks the all important question: What would we want in a Sonic Adventure remake?

the new defunctland video is a prequel to knights of guinevere

some people believe that Austin Richard Post will return at the end of a thousand years of a banished Satan this is called postmalonialism

Saw the other day that they’re doing a NieR collab in Ever Crisis and this shit has gotta be like the second coming of Christ for some people

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

Guys, as a ex call center employee, this is fucking DESPERATION BEHAVIOR. Pizza and ice cream once may be an entire year's planned discretionary budget for a team, they do NOT value them enough to provide common comfort. If their doing this? Their not just scared, their TERRIFIED.

Looking for past Garfield Macy's balloons. Found a new reaction image

Applications close this Saturday. If you're looking to give a little for the holiday, a group of neat volunteers are offering a little treat in return.

Just finished a full rewatch for like the millionth time. In times like this, a show whose core message is all about how overwhelming despair and impossible odds can be overcome by determination and human spirit is kind of exactly what I needed right now. Maybe what a lot of people need.

Magic Knight Raymond is a great anime and I can't believe Crunchyroll would do this.

Dubbing will continue to stagnate until serious time and consideration is given to the pattern of severe undercutting that is prevalent in the industry. Budgets are getting slashed on workers who were already expected to cut corners with low pay. Adapters and translators are your backbone.

you should buy Y0 before this btw; the Director's Cut is a markedly worse experience and isn't even done BY the director of Y0

Still the most perfect animal design in video games.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Um. Fucking boo.

Saw a post asking how this was different than modern RE games, or Mortal Kombat, and the answer is 'those are made by big companies that can start serious shit if Steam tried this'. It's always just petty tyrants hitting stuff that earns their ire that is also small enough to not rock the boat.

A closer look at an early starting line image from the Egg Expo track in 'Sonic Racing CrossWorlds'. A different piece of art can be found in the textures.

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

#DidYouKnow that the Transformers once teamed up with Takara’s other super robots? In 2020, the Cyberverse cast became available in the "Toy Clash! Roboca Battle" arcade game, alongside characters from Takara’s "Shinkalion" and "Earth Granner" franchises! tfwiki.net/wiki/Toy_Cla...

So you made a robot stand up and talk... now what? In this over 4-hour journey, Kevin follows the promise of Disney's Living Character Initiative, an effort to populate Disney theme parks with free-roaming, interactive beings. It was touted as the future. How's it going? Watch here: bit.ly/49C6vng

SOUND MIX SUPERIOR

November 22, 1999 Eiffel 65 releases the album Europop, which you probably know because of "Blue (Da Ba Dee)". But, did you know there's a song on that album called "My Console" that's all about their love of PlayStation?
