It seems likely to me that he was radicalised these past few years. The anti fascist messages on the casing (not sure why people are trying to spin "hey fascist! Catch this" into anything else really), his family saying he got angry about Kirk because he spreads hate, the fact his family looks to lean conservative tells me he probably rebelled against his family's politics like most people do then they become adults and the fact that yeah, he shot Charlie Kirk. Maybe he was a groyper, maybe he didn't have any kind of ideology and was purely a weird shitposter but at the moment it seems like it was someone that really did consider themselves anti fascist and hated Kirk and the hate he spread. More needs to come out and some of the way the authorities are talking about this is suspicious, telling just enough to make it seem like he leans one way but then swiftly cutting off the motivation question.

Thanks for recapping the facts as shared by law enforcement. It seems like some folks have out their head in the sand and are running with their wishes instead.

Ban overturned.

Just wanted to share that this year is absolute nuts for games. So many good ones have come out but sadly so little time to play them all!
For being a new homeowner and dealing with multiple family members passing away i haven't had the time to play games as much. I have a decent backlog but it seems every week there is a new game I want to play.

For example,
- Silent Hill F
-Sonic racing
-Ghost of Yotia
-Borderlands 4
-Battlefield 6
- hades 2

This doesn't even include games I want to play on switch 2 that I don't own.

Now with all these games coming out it's overwhelming on how do I prioritize which games to play and not. There is not enough time in the day to enjoy every game out there.

What about you era???

Ban the OP 

I manage it by attempting to not get caught up in the hype (manufactured or organic) for games that I'm not actually interested in? For instance, I got my fill of everything that Ghost of Yōtei from Tsushima 5 years ago and then AC Shadows 6 months ago. There's like 5 games coming out imminently that I want and then nothing until RE9 at the end of February. There's more than enough time to play every game I care about but not enough time to play every single game that gets its two weeks in the zeitgeist before the next thing comes along. Just ask yourself whether you're actually excited or if you're being influenced by marketing and metascores.

Keep it that way, buddy

Keep your sexual practices to yourself and focus on the plight of Palestinians! This is why the degenerates of the west are polluting Arabs! They focus too much on who they are fucking!

The most commonly cited use of AI was in the generation of visual assets and images such as characters, followed by story and text generation; and lastly programming support.

I get the other ones, but that one...

[Jansen]

I feel like I'm going to get a lot of replies for this, but using it for the crowd in a soccer stadium seems like... An ok use of it? Like it's the kind of repeating unimportant detail that you'd want to offload



Am I way off?

Ban this sick motherfucker 

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

I blame the western translators for forcing poor, poor Japanese countries to use AI.

Maybe if they didn't include things that were not in the script things would be different.

I blame everyone, because not even the “translate as literal as possible” crew likes AI translations. 

Depending of your budget you get crazy localizers trying to make their Vagrant Story or AI slop that cannot actually construct coherent phrasing.

Using it as an idea generator also seems okay to me.   

Or help for programmers, given how Japan desperately needs better programmers.

[PogiJones]

You're telling me that largest dedicated video game forum Resetera's religious leaders righteously banning positive discussion of AI failed to convince the world to not adopt brand new tech that is akin to free labor? Who could have seen that coming?

[Jansen]

Don't worry they are convinced AI usage will plummet to damn near uselessness when the bubble pops.

Well, at least we are admitting it is a bubble.

pokemon dialogue has felt AI generated for decades

in fact



this is probably better than the shit nintendo would churn out, there are actual plot/event hooks in here that weren't even asked for

[PogiJones]

RE, RE, why persecutest thou AI? It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

this is why I said decades and not going back to the beginning, there was fun character to the earliest entries, AI would not have come up with "smell you later"

Inference isn't getting cheaper.

The cost of tokens is going down, but not as fast as the use of tokens is going up. If anything Inference has been getting more expensive over the last year as all these LLM companies try to brute force their way around the inherent limitations of their models.

Electricity isn't getting cheaper.  Sure the price per kWh has fallen, but my monthly bill went up because I bought an EV and run the AC all day and have a GPU farm of 5090s in my basement serving an LLM to another office I have. So electricity is actually more expensive now.

I think I'd prefer most AI generated stories to the shit that video game developers vomit on the page...especially the anime bullshit Japanese developers often go with.

[kaleidoscopium]

yup, that's why they try and manipulate from both sides, through cultural and law

there's a BUNCH of 'obscenity' laws being introduced in state and national levels to try and force inclusivity out of the eyes of the public, and you KNOW that shit is coming for gaming

also, how long until you gotta take a picture of your ID before you can download a game off the eshop?

Is less playing both sides and more that both sides are incredibly retarded.  

Is just like Republican Free Speech discourse that most of them ignore (hey Grummz, you scumbag) when convenient or ERA suddenly fighting for Gooner games but still being icky for stuff like Nikke.

Politicians are genuinely trying to take advantage of this, but is hardly planned, and more how incoherent the Gen Z is with their beliefs.

Yes. I do. 

I have always been open with my contempt for video game writers and the garbage they shit out.

One of the "best" parts of that is going to be the group of people who immediately roll over and say "well, you wouldn't want your kids playing those VN porn games" with no sense of awareness like what happened with Steam and itch.io. Some frogs love being boiled.
