Replying to @caseyexplosion.bsky.social

The idea of the AI developer as someone burgeoning with wonderful, never before seen ideas who just needed the tools to realize them is by and large a fantasy. The reality of the AI developer is someone producing spam at volume who has no ideas of their own, so just clone something popular.

It always comes back to this for me; if AI was so good, such a disclosure would be a selling point. If AI was everything these slop jockeys said it was, they should be proud to let people know their game was AI made. But the proof is in the pudding, and they can't stand that people don't want it.

I can't believe he's still at it, it's been days

i've been trying to figure out why i'm not more saddened by this. i was such a huge fan of their games. i absolutely devoured the mass effect trilogy. but i think i've been anticipating this since i hit the level cap in anthem and unlocked the final javelin, and i immediately went, "that's it?"

inevitable from the moment EA bought them. the shambling corpse of bioware is finally being put to rest. RIP.

there's also been so much leading up to this. closures and layoffs across the whole industry, not to mention how garbage EA has been for a long time. it's like how someone who's been dying for 10 years finally going is sad but not tragic, vs someone dying suddenly which feels like a kick to the gut.

Sort of a cultural "you are what you eat" in that you get served the stuff you deem worthy of your time

Guillermo Del Toro dropping another one liner that’s exactly how I feel about AI slop, the “punishment” is built in

if you see a trans woman experiencing and celebrating joy and your first reaction is to publicly respond with jealousy and lamenting about your own life, maybe think for a second if she's the person who needs to hear any of that

I usually check out as many games as possible in Next Fest, but the tidal wave of AI trash has beaten me Non-AI indie devs please post your games below and I'll check em out instead Also @steampowered.com PLEASE add an option to filter out AI games in searches. It's killing discoverability #gaming

Sony still makes a single DVD and Blu-ray player. The wars that used to rage over home video. Once Playstation officially goes all digital, it'll likely be Sony completely exiting the physical media space entirely

I can't promise you we'll win, but I can promise you that every successful civil rights movement has faced this exact hurdle. Dr Martin Luther King's Letter from Birmingham Jail covered it in his time beautifully.

i don't think i've ever gone from "oh yeah, that director makes cool, fun things" to "omg fuuuuck this guy forever" as fast i have with ti west.

EBENEZER starring Johnny Depp has been rated PG-13 for "Frightening material." Director Ti West stated that he aimed to make a "spookier version" of the classic Charles Dickens tale "than ever before." In theaters November 13.

it cannot actually be ignored or danced around that the closure of BioWare came so soon after the Saudi and Jared Kushner acquisition of EA. they absolutely did take the studio making EA’s broadly queerest games out back and shoot it old yeller style. do not let yourself or colleagues ignore that
