This got me to finally pull the trigger on Arco.
Good thread.
Good thread.
Short spoiler free story about my experience with Arco.
Back before bsky took off, I saw a post on Twitter from a game dev asking for advice because their game is reviewing extremely highly but it's not reflecting on sales. I wanna help but I gotta try it first. So I make a note to check it out. 1/

Of all the opinions I've seen this bot put out, THIS is the one that's triggered me something rotten.
Anyone using the phrase "do better" is exposing themselves an a complete arsehole.

Hahaha, right?! Or what about mandatory disclosures for the discrepancy between the salaries of the CEO and their lowest paid worker? That would be so funny, right?! Let’s do it as a funny joke!!!

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Hard, hard agree, it's one of the most immediately perfect games I've played in years.
Absolutely terrible choice of name however. I've seen it referred to as Sekiro *multiple* times.
