I know a number of my followers play Fortnite, and y’all miiiiiiight wanna see this >->
SO... I'm pretty much done with Fortnite. There were statements made by Tim Sweeney saying that AI usage doesn't need to be disclosed, and then AI usage was found all over this current season- from art to sprays to in-game songs. Between that, and the upcoming shitty wizard collab... Yeah, I'm done.

Honest to God I think your average novice voice actor on Twitter or Bluesky could do an infinitely better fandub of this from home.

…Hell, why don’t you? Call it the “Banana Fish Challenge”. Dub a scene from the show in English and show the suits at Amazon how shit they are.
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.

2 years and 8 months since LUNARK came out. Hard to believe.
I spent 4+ years mostly solo on this project - rotoscoping, coding, composing the OST - and your support made the difference! Thank you for playing my little cinematic-platformer tribute 🥰

I was like "wait isn't Latata an insanely popular song"

it is!

the song in Fortnite is not that song. it is something Suno-generated using the same name with a fake k-pop band.

I wonder why Tim Sweeney is so mad about the Steam AI disclaimer now!

my primary impression of fallout 76 was watching an official teaser on the alien update, hearing this weapon's sound effect, and having to rewind to make sure I didn't hallucinate it

No child should have to worry about being shot at school or gunned down at a birthday party.

It doesn’t matter if they’re in a red or blue state.

It doesn’t matter who their parents are.

If the volume of mass shootings doesn’t enrage you, you’ve lost your way.

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

There needs to be a scientific study on why so many people support the CHEETO sitting in OFFICE right now
There needs to be a scientific study done as to why Bluesky in particular has so many of this particular type of Guy (gender neutral)

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

No one is cancelled by accident. This isn't the 1950s- we're not cancelling people for being gay, using drugs, or for martial infidelity. If you have been cancelled in the 21st century, it is for hate speech and sex crimes. Full stop.

Why would ANYONE think "Yeah, but what if we brought them back?"

I'm flummoxed by the underground movement to rehab cancelled figures. There's a rumor that a studio head is planning to begin bringing cancelled people back. It's bananas. The industry has contracted, leaving writers, directors and actors scrambling for work and we're making space for sex criminals?

Saw that one Smiling Friends post-credit scene a few days ago (you probably know the one)

I get the joke they were likely *trying* to make about toxic weeb culture, but like… DAMN they could’ve run that character design through a bit more testing.
