I will never do this. The AI can suck my dick and also my balls.

Is this cheese grater conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

Any one of these massive AAA videogame companies could file suit against the 6-piece Chicken McNobody ringleaders harassing their employees, and that they don't is a choice. I said before of goobergate that the industry enjoys having a bunch of unpaid Pinkertons around too much to ever give it up.
Two months after firing over Charlie Kirk comments, Ghost of Yotei dev blames harassment campaign, not 'bad joke'

Re: LRT
There was a MtG survey going around about the Spider-Man set and part of it asked whether influencers affected the responder’s opinions of it, and reddit was super mad, like “How dare they assume something that’s actually demonstrably true - let’s all lie and say no”

One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

I started Dragon Quest 11 and turned on the “Reduced Experience from Easy Fights” option thinking it would just stop me from being overlevelled, but what it doesn’t tell you is that after levelling up a couple of times in an area you just don’t get any experience at all from most fights :/

The Garp/Koby/Helmeppo subplot in the live action One Piece was such a good addition. A clever way of using later plot developments to enrich the material.
I wonder whether they'll just be absent for a few seasons though lol

This Way Madness Lies is a great game and barely anybody bought it. It should be played by more people. If everybody here on @bsky.app banded together and bought a Steam copy and played it, well, that'd be a miracle and I would be forever grateful.

A lot of good additions to Wicked: For Good that make it feel more complete and less rushed, but it’s still the weaker second act at the end of the day.
I honestly found the titular song kinda flat? No Good Deed came off as more of a showstopper
