No way Geoff Keighley would give his best slot on his slop show away for free, definitely got corpo instructions, this explains it
The big corpos are doing the "gentrify the indie genre by pretending to be an indie underdog" thing for marketing purposes, E33 did it and got away with it.

When you realise the entire game journalism industry are just like this dude, full of corpo dicksucking shitlibs who gaslit themselves into thinking they are progressive while being the most white centric, anti anything foreign middle aged white dude, then it makes sense why the industry sucks
current status:
making up a parallel world where JRPGs are right wing media and Christian households didn't find them objectionable

One Battle After Another will win best picture 100%, it's the kind of milquetoast white-friendly social commentary that the white critics always eat up, Sinners will be too on the nose for them to vote for it

F1 was alright, best picture over something like No Other Choice? Nah.
The most entertaining about the movie is that Brad Pitt was basically debuff Nice Nature

I'm sorry but if you think the Last of Us is feminist empowerment then you probably think Sansa Stark in season 6-8 is women empowerment
A lot of game critics and their clownish moral compass is that "white people wrote it = good, asian wrote it = bad". White superior complex in "progressive" guise

A lot of these white "progressive" narratives and movements are often stemmed from white people desperate to appear morally righteous for back pats and praises while having zero to shallow idea about what they're fighting for. Which is why a lot of these things end up being "fads" that die quickly
I do genuinely believe that the way entertainment journalists wrote opinion pieces about sexualized characters in the 2010s did have a strong impact on the waves of internet censorship today. It's not that conservative outlooks needed an excuse, but that it conditioned the left to not defend sex.

From outside looking in, there's no way America doesn't end in civil war. The right wing is not a political ideology anymore, it's a terrorist organisation, a movement that has no problems killing anyone they don't like and grab hold of power. Legal processes are rigged, the only thing left is fight

When Gen AI becomes mainstream, it won't make art "accessible", what happens is once tech bros succeeded in killing off human artists from the production chain, they'd monopolize Gen AI and charge you crazy money to access their tools. Subscription fees and/or crazy fees per vid/image

Expedition 33 stole everything from asia, so this feels like returning the shit in British Museum back to its rightful owner
I really hate how games media handles anything out of China: www.thegamer.com/clair-obscur...
We're getting a gorgeous remake of one of their best RPGs ever, but the clown does zero research about it and just goes "I'm getting a lot of Boss Baby vibes from this..."

E33 AI discourse is so funny, the devs literally got caught lying multiple times:
"We'd never use AI"
"We did use it it was very useful for us"
"Indie game awards we didn't use AI"
"Ooops we did use it now that we got stripped of the awards, it wasn't useful anyway, we won't again, we promise!"

E33 is entirely made by plagiarism, it isn't just GenAI. It's copying ideas from other popular RPGs, stitch them together in a plagiarism frankenstein, then had the gall to call themselves "innovative'/invented those concepts

Games industry will be the first, hell it has already fallen.

When I played through the game on release, a lot of areas feel like it's just AI throwing a lot of random shit together and think it looks cool. I've known they used AI for months, but people decided to conveniently ignore it so that they can anoint this game as the white saviour of the industry
I wish more game journalists would ask the Clair Obscur team how much AI they used and on what, because I definitely get the feeling it wasn’t just that one placeholder asset..
