As a Christmas present, I posted about some fleeting visions of the Super Mario RPG sequel we never got and which eventually became Paper Mario.

Great read about the landscape of GenAI discussion.
You need to have an understanding of what you hate.
Why is it bad? What are the material effects of it? How are devs using it? Why are they using it?
Then, you draw your own line in the sand. Use it as a guide. It helps me not lose my mind.

Weird weekend, huh? Took a crack at breaking down the whole Clair Obscur genAI situation, and its bizarre fallout, as best as possible. My main takeaway right now is that people really need to figure out exactly what they're criticizing or it's going to get messy. www.polygon.com/clair-obscur...
The debate over gen AI in games is about to get a lot messier in 2026

Mind you, I'm not defending him in any way for the donations he *did* make. I'm just stating hard facts, and unless he made donations under his wife's name, there have been none at all under his name since 2020. Also he donated more than 2x the amount he did towards Trevor Project instead

If he did donate to the GOP since 2020, there would have to be public record for donations over $200. There hasn't been any donations since then under his name, so we can assume he hasn't.

The anti-voter SAVE Act failed in Congress thanks to widespread opposition. Now, its proponents are pressuring the Election Assistance Commission to enact a similar “show-your-papers” requirement for voting. Will you speak out against this attack on the freedom to vote? bit.ly/4ngSyyl

Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, is another techno-fascist billionaire.
He’s invested in AI that specializes in war, surveillance and violence, so it’s no surprise he’s fine with running ICE ads on Spotify.
If you haven’t already, cancel your Spotify subscriptions. Let’s make them feel like Disney+.

People need to be dressing up as Barney and other children's cartoon characters so when they're arrested, little Timmy will be like "Mommy, why are the police arresting Sonic the Hedgehog? 🥺"

I checked twitter (dumb mistake) and it seems they're trying to spin it as "the frog guy could have a bomb in there and and and he's nb/trans and proudly an antifa terrorist!!"

I think 5 is a bit harsh, not unlike usual IGN reviews
I think those issues are definitely big, but overall I feel that the game could easily be enjoyable for anyone looking for a mostly rehauled version of the OG
some of the most glaring problems with level design and exp curve can't be fixed
