Jim Lee openly disparaging AI in no way guarantees anything, no one knows what the future of AI is and no one knows who will be in charge at DC Comics down the line. But I think it's important that a popular artist publicly shot AI down. Fans and artists ignorant of or using AI need to hear this.

It was terribad too. I specifically came up with that word solely for Too Human bc it was so terrible it was beyond bad. Plus that Valkyrie resurrection scene took 5 minutes every time!

If you consider your films "content creation" that's about all I need to know about you.

Can't wait for the Left and the super cool memes they'll make from this.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

The only ones I'll play are Assassins Creed and I'll try to avoid paying full price for them. But yeah, I have enough substitutes that if something let's me down, I can move right along. I'd like to have a little integrity😆

Just say Ubisoft is spineless, pussied, bitched out or simply tucking their tail between their cheeks.
Red Dead Redemption 2 takes several encounters on beating down Klansmen and it did insanely well.
Ubisoft is just a Creamsicle sucker 🤪

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Scoop: Ubisoft cancelled a post-Civil War Assassin’s Creed last year

Company leadership deemed the project too controversial for the moment, sources tell Game File

I could sadly name several family members because of their weird loyal cultism towards Trump.

Yesterday I was watching JoJo Rabbit (amazing film btw) and began considering how many people I know would turn me into ICE if I was harboring undocumented immigrants.

Sadly, the first person that came to my mind: my older brother. He would absolutely do just that. And that's terrifying.

Going to check out some weird worlds if we can tonight. Will try advancing some plot. Unsure of what to do since there's SO much to do!

The 90s really is one of those in/out eras. Big names, big hits but never really went past the decade. Remembered but haven't progressed.
New Kids on the Block STORMED the early 90s then disappeared until like 6 years ago or something lol

Say what you want but James Gunn took 2 different franchise characters/teams (Guardians of the Galaxy & Peacemaker) who were not wildly popular or even known to some degrees and they are official pop culture references now.
Zack Snyder couldn't get the 98th iteration of JL right.

"Exploits are bad but this new way to launch kegs from harpoons is actually fun so it doesn't count."

I can list pros/cons for everything I like/dislike in the game. I love the smugglers kegs but they are OP. It gets old fast.

Letting people fling them is where I admittedly started dipping out.

Had Taco Bell for the first time in a long time (maybe a year?) and I actually forgot what taco beef tasted like 🤣
The way my brain actually did this was satisfying.
Enjoy the little things that make you happy.

The thing that gets me about the morons that think we should sacrifice Trans people to the wheels of "electability" is that these are almost always the same idiots that will go off for "expanding the tent". Like let's fuck over this group of people so Liz Cheney might like us.
