I agree with the figurative image of the spark to describe something gen AI-produced slop lacks.

Figuratively, because we all know you’re actually being literal and make it about that bullshit you call “soul”. Sorry Christians, this still doesn’t exist.

Oh yeah, makes sense that this would work.

Though as you said many games just use the system language and don’t feature an option to change it.

There is some level of region-locking exclusively for Japanese switch 2s. I don’t know if this one is one of those locked models, but they really should make sure before they get one.

Basically, the most common Switch 2 model in Japan is cheaper but it only accepts Japanese Nintendo accounts and it only supports the Japanese language.

All very good reasons, but I am also adding loss of skill and opportunities for juniors to learn, and AI often being dangerously incompetent at some tasks and everyone rejecting the responsibility when it is.

And then there is the extensive use of gen AI-produced slop effortlessly invading every space and making everything suck.

No, almost nobody "fearing* AI believes Ultron or Skynet will literally enslave/wage war on humanity. If anything I’m sure the ones who believe the most in AI superintelligence supplanting humans are mostly among AI advocates.

I do go to fast-food once in a while, but in my experience McDonald’s is really the worst of them, mediocre is too generous. Not any cheaper for basically cardboard.

Not sure he had already publicly said he was trans at the time.

So the extra layer might be in retrospect, but no matter what there was plenty of creepiness already.

Special case. This game, David Cage and Quantic Dreams in general really deserve all the shit they got and more for making that scene despite the model actor for the character having a no-nude scene policy.

Compare that to Oblivion getting stupid flak for a texture with blurry tits on generic toons, that can’t even appear in game.

I’m in a local administration in France, it’s rapidly getting closer to home… Our higher-ups somehow decided a thourough Microsoft integration was a good idea like 5 years ago.

Seems like we’re just one political comment about support to the ICC to be in the same situation. And I mean, fuck it, we should be. But I am not happy about the shit we’ll have to go through to purge it all now.

The fact character textures include some basic painted-on underwear so no accidental slip happens is believable. In fact historically some games have been in hot waters because their textures included (usually not very detailed) naughty bits. Even if they didn’t show anywhere in game.

The fact a game can release in a state in which it fails at loading character’s clothing in normal gameplay, and still run like nothing’s wrong, is a joke.

Give it about six months to a year I’d say.

Oh, wait, you were asking about the collapse of civilization, right?

Good point, it also sounds like a recipe for disaster.

I blame vibe-coding. Windows has always been Windows, but I agree it’s been extra shit lately.

I didn’t expect any Ys, and specifically Ys VII in there.

It’s a cool game. It doesn’t do anything too flashy, but it’s just a fun adventure.

What, 45? Like, people who saw that shit start when they were well into their thirties? Is that a thing?

Feels very late to hop on that bandwagon.

I feel like raspberry has been backstabbing everyone for a while.

“Stop being political!” say the people running the manufactured hate machine.
