This is insane shit. Yesterday when I saw that Open AI response to the suicide was to victim blame, I really thought that would be the lowest shit. But here, Google acknowledges AI is bad for kids but FUCK IT deal with it, parents. Trash company. They don't need to do this shit.

Yet another veteran games studio touched by the all-consuming hand of private equity. Two months after the buyout, they're stripped for parts.
Splash damage did a lot of good stuff over the years, and didn't get nearly enough love.

i cant stress enough that the 4th amendment factually doesnt exist any more, be careful out there
Police have access to massive surveillance networks that track the public whether they are suspects or not. That means probably for every 1 officer caught using the system to harass or spy on people they have feuds with, ex's, activists, journalists, there are probably 100 more we don't know about.

After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

Steam is a notorious black box. They have content-affecting policies that they do not list and will not tell developers. They do not have spokespeople or contacts for studios to interact with.
Steam is a rent-seeking machine. You put game in, it sells game, and 70% of the revenue comes back out.

Worth noting this was before the Payment Processor nonsense, so this is the normal dev-hating Valve actions. Same shit that dings VNs for years.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.
