This is Konami we're talking about. The question is not "Why Moai?", it is "Why not MORE Moai?"

Scotland 1-0 up on Denmark in a game where if they win, they qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1998.
Want it so bad for my dad. He's getting old and not in great health anymore. Really want him to see them there at least one more time in his life. Come onnnn.

I'm not so draconian about it; I think the AI backlash is severe enough that at some point we're going to get backlash against the backlash.
The kicker, though? The ads in Cyberpunk 2077 are WAY more slop-ish, and they were created WITHOUT AI. imgur.com/a/4vJ7OIk

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.
