to pretend that generative ai's creation of code is different than its creation of art or music is to deny that the theft of human knowledge for corporate profit is unethical. i don't care that you don't think coding is an art, i care that you view your fellow man as disposable

it is pretty putrid to make a game ostensibly in support of the native peoples of your country and their land using the demon engine that's going to kill them all and destroy their land and hide that fact until after your game gets big and successful lol
Big Walk used AI in 'the final stretch' of development, kicking off intense awards debate:

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
House House used LLMs sparingly near the end of Big Walk's development, mainly to fix bugs in third-party code. They estimate well under 0.1% of the game's code was affected, and they didn't use generative AI elsewhere.

10 lines of debugging that coulda been done by a human lol
Btw the bug they couldn’t solve was cracked under 3hrs after the article was released
And coming from a studio who’s alr made it clear they’re okay w lying why should i believe they only used it for 10 lines of code

"It's just a tool"
It's not. It's a service. One that AI CEOs are desperate to find an audience for after the massive backlash against gen ai art. It's consistent rhetoric also used by tech CEOs as they continue to eliminate jobs across all of tech. Code IS art.
Very excited for Deadlock to get paid cosmetics and the inevitable enabling of sv_pure.
Whole new generations gonna learn about how Valve will fuck you in order to get you into their community market bullshit.

So DC is fucked now right?
I don’t think people are gonna give them a third chance to set up a justice league movie.
The DCU plan reportedly included introducing Batman in ‘THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD’ in 2028.
James Gunn's ‘SUPERMAN’ sequels would’ve then evolved into a ‘JUSTICE LEAGUE’ film in 2029 - 2031.

Lmao my order from Target got canned the day of.
Between this and Amazon’s handling of the controller, it turns out ordering the second it goes live doesn’t guarantee you anything

PC Gamers love to harp on about competition but then lose their collective minds over having to use a second launcher for something.
Quoting Gabe Newell’s “service problem” to justify pirating Switch 2 games is wild.
Gabe was giving business advice to publishers, not handing out a moral pass because you don't want to buy a console. First-party exclusivity isn’t a broken service, and acting like you're owed games on PC is just pure platform entitlement.
Folks are dumping Switch 2 ROMs on sites that do not want them. You are going to get these websites heavily reprimanded or completely shut down.
If you just want to be scum and get free games, just say you're scum and own it.
Stop dressing up console FOMO as some righteous anti-corporate crusade. It's not.
You really feel it when it's your turn to be the woodchipper. People just keep happening to spawn in front of you.
You can literally get POTGs from killing the same two guys in succession as they spawn facing away from you

Call of Duty Matchmaking is really interesting because on top of some of the Win/Loss ratio stuff there's also some diabolical stuff designed to make one guy in the lobby feel good.
The respawns will throw you in the path of some guy who needs the dopamine hit.

Terry only gets away with it because people can throw him into a different category that separates him from Bruce.
He's recognised as "Batman Beyond" and not "Batman" outside the fiction.
Cap thing got me wondering.
Has there ever been a superhero passing the mantle that was universally well received?
Peter -> Ben & Miles as Spider-Man has been bumpy. Steve -> Sam as Cap too.
I think Terry as Batman is the only one everyone liked. Idk why though.

The best case scenario is the story having the Knight be an entity. With no identity to solve.
It's design and mannerisms pull from multiple different candidates (Dess, Kris, Papyrus, Flowery, Rudy) so it's just a deliberate red herring.

Chap 6 will have to pull a lot of weight setting up Dess as the Knight, because her wanting to end the world doesn't make sense unless the they're being possessed
The Knight wanting to cause the Roaring to get to where Dess is makes sense as a motivation for Rudy and Noelle/Kris
