Is a creative industry, you are supposed to brainstorm with real people and not just yourself and a digital sycophant.

You couldn’t be any more wrong, like literally you have no idea what you’re talking about at all

Are you Neha? 

 It makes sense in context. The slide describes "research and draft generation" as routine support work. In the Capcom interview, the tool developer explains that a huge amount of game world-building involves coming up with massive numbers of background ideas - fictional TV brands, snack packaging, logos, posters, product variants, etc. They said this could reach hundreds of thousands of ideas per project, each requiring text descriptions and visual reference materials for artists and art directors.

So when they talk about AI-assisted "brainstorming," they're talking about accelerating the early ideation/reference phase. Generating rough concepts, drafts, and visual materials for world-building materials that developers can iterate on or refine. That's what the "research and draft generation" line is referring to.

But at least that person bother to explain on ERA of all places.

[Besticus Maximus]

They’re talking about doing research, don’t overcomplicate or split hairs. Imagining this process as being someone typing into chat gpt speaks to great ignorance of like, the foundational task in making anything new. The era nutters assume the only reason anyone would use something is ontological evil impulse or rapacious capital, in reality, these companies are really trying to get new ideas that break through that couldn’t be got to before.

[BIONIC]

Cool. And when we get there, I hope the industry dies. I'm not budging on this. Once we get there, "games" aren't games anymore. They aren't an art form, they aren't the product of real work. They have no value and they don't deserve to exist. They're just filler sludge.

Sorry for not thinking that they are going to use real research AI tools and that was talked about… because we don’t live in a world where shit like this happens:

Will this report make it to Reeeesetera?

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-13/hamas-systematically-used-rape-october-7-report-says/106672368

In short:
An Israeli not-for-profit organisation has published a report that details allegations of sexual violence against victims of Hamas's October 7, 2023, attacks.

The report alleges not only the extent of sexual crimes committed by Hamas, but also the concerns among victim survivors.

What's next?
The organisation behind the report hopes the work will become a formal, adopted record of October 7, 2023. 

Will Resetera "believe women" or call them "Nazi apologists"?

In five years I'll be praying for a video game industry crash that kills the entire industry and burns it to ashes. There's no value in a creative medium that wants to kill creativity. It's just slop at that point. A game that eschews human creativity in favor of output from a robot doesn't need to exist.

Cool. And when we get there, I hope the industry dies. I'm not budging on this. Once we get there, "games" aren't games anymore. They aren't an art form, they aren't the product of real work. They have no value and they don't deserve to exist. They're just filler sludge.

And yet, you're the first person to go on an angry tirades about how awful you feel whenever game developer jobs are at risk, even if it's due to the game just flat out sucking, you miserable piece of shit.

PSmasher is projecting his own failed aspirations on videogame developers to the point he literally dreams of a large scale industry crash as part of his whole “I didn’t make it therefore the whole world should burn down” spiel. Truly a selfish and angry little man.

I still don't understand the logic behind banning an entire IP on your discussion message board, especially when it is one of the more prominent ones in the zeitgeist. It always turns into this awkward dance of people referring to it as "Wizard Game" and the sales threads being an incomprehensible mess, plus your users are scared their account's going to get yeeted into the void for discussing the sale performance of the top 10 titles and accidentally mentioning the Voldemort in the room. Like, if Lucas has come out as anti-trans, would they kill any Star Wars discussion? Including Jedi Survivor or ResetERA favorite Acolyte (this show was fucking terrible, btw)? 

One would think the Cyberpunk debacle would make them rethink this stance

Think it's why B Dubs has said no more banning IPs, they can't cede on this one but no more going forward because of how fucking stupid it is

imo, it's part of why he's effective. he's a conventionally attractive, tall, white-passing, and masculine leftist with a deep 'podcasty' voice. he goes against all the stereotypes that people try to paint leftists with, and that makes him directly able to tap into the young male audience who are at risk of falling further into the manosphere and radicalization pipeline and pull them out.

if having someone who comes across like a cool bro is what helps young men be willing to listen to him instead of dismissing him to go listen to Joe Rogan or Andrew Tate, then i'm all for it, even if it's not my appeal.

You're not wrong, and there might be some merit in showing impressionable young chud-vulnerable men that you can be leftist while still being all of those things - it threatens the right's political stranglehold on "traditional masculinity" at a time when society isn't fully ready to move beyond those ideas, especially those young men. I don't doubt that Hasan has snapped up some guys that might have otherwise fallen down the Manosphere rabbit hole.

It's funny how the OP never mentions forcing people to use the current public transport where they live, but about improving it for everyone. But the majority of comments are acting as if OP wants to destroy all cars and force everyone onto the current state of public transit.

The Netherlands was also heading to be designed for cars alone, until an oil crisis and a bunch of dead children (due to car accidents) made them start implementing cycling infrastructure in the 80s. Change doesn't happen overnight and if your sole belief is "it's bad now, therefore it's always bad" you really gotta mature.

No idea who that is but credit where it's due she's put some work in there. My biggest issue with trans ree has always been their total lack of effort or ambition into actually transforming. The majority of them just slap on giant wigs and clown glasses. This ree is actually trying to do their best which is a good thing.

I would congratulate him if it wasn’t clear he gets off out of it.

I have the benefit of not totally looking my age (I'm 35) but I often wonder when if ever I'll have my fill of getting immense euphoria from dressing how I would have wanted too had I transitioned 10+ years ago.

I was watching some cooking show the other day and a young contestant claimed they were the CEO of a company. I googled them and they have an Instagram offering deserts locally in some random city in Arkansas that had like 100 followers.

What was stopping harSon from wearing feminine clothes and makeup 10 years ago pre-transition, especially in NYC of all places where drag subculture goes back over 70 years?

If they're happier now as a woman, cool beans, but being a man wasn't stopping him.

If your stance is, "Hasan isn't a smart person," the rest of your criticism is going to fall flat because of how clearly ridiculous that is.



His intelligence isn't really up for debate. He has a double major in political science and communication. He isn't just some random streamer talking a bunch of shit. He is a very educated person.



And you call out that his positions are often whatever is in opposition to the US but it might be good to do some self-reflection on why that immediately triggers you. Is it because he hates the US and is biased, as you seem to imply, or is it because the US is a fucking problem and is often the direct cause of the world's problems?

https://www.resetera.com/threads/my-daughter-came-out-as-transgender-and-i-am-conflicted.1519297/

Yesterday my 12-yr old daughter came out to me as transgender. I gave them a hug and told them I loved them. The sexuality of my children really doesn't concern me; I'm happy if they are happy. I did ask them to give me some grace as I adjust from she/her to they/them/it. I mean, I still call my Subaru my Jetta, even though I've owned two other cars since I last owned a Jetta in 2015. I'm going to slip up.

That's not where my conflict lies. I am proud of them and support whatever they want to do, however, we live in an extremely right-wing and religious town. I fully intend to support them however I can, but I also want to caution them about broadcasting their sexuality in this town. I want to prepare them for what might come their way and I don't want it to seem like I am trying to silence them or that I am not proud of them. I'm just concerned about their well-being. They identified as gay earlier in the year, so I don't know if their identity will change again or not. I've never been a 12-yr old female that identified as trans; this is new to me. I just want to be there for them and make sure they are as happy as they can be.

Just today I had to pull my son out of high school for the day because a classmate said "I feel sorry for people of the LGBTQ community for being "like that" and that "instead of throwing the Jews in the concentration camps like they deserved we should throw the gays in there instead". We are Jewish. Was that kid was being a garden variety fuck or was he deliberately saying that to my son because of his sister? I don't know.

I want them to be safe and I am struggling a bit on how to have that conversation. Any suggestions would be welcome. My apologies if this comes off rambling; the concentration camp comment has be a bit fired up.

Your child, not your daughter. 

Edit:

If your child came out as non binary, which I'm assuming from the pronouns, then you don't have a "daughter" anymore.

It's all rooted in their deep-seated misogynistic view of women where "pornbrained but not a man = cool, sexy, confident".
