english is not my native language so i auto correct it with chatgpt

Why? Your computer and browser already does this.

It honestly made me really sad. Like I honestly have tears in my eyes right now. I really had a hard past 2 years and I just wanted to get something out. I replied here and there like casually and stuff in the past. I dont know, I probably should just get off the internet.

"a separate laptop for porn" what the fuck is wrong with that? that just makes sense, every streamer knows you don't do general browsing on the same computer you stream on, that's how so many get caught i.e.

I seriously still don't get how Vaush escaped/survived being caught with motherfucking loli porn on his computer.

It should've buried his ass. Seems like the only people who still make fun of the incident are his detractors, and not the leftoid virtue signalers who'd you expect to have absolutely torn him a new one over it.

[Jansen]

I hear you, man. It does suck sometimes when a thread backfires, I agree.



But just keep in mind that the teasing responses are not just about using ChatGPT to help structure your post in English. It's the actual content/message of your post as well that's being met with some understandable side-eye. If you can't see why that might be then it could genuinely be a cultural perspective difference at play here.



Try not to let it get to you though. I've made over 1,000 threads in my native language on ERA and a good chunk of them have backfired on me gloriously.

This fucking piece of shit you know he's trolling

The partisan breakdown of moral acceptance for changing genders is:

5% Republicans (down from 22% in 2021)
42% Independents (down from 48% in 2021)
60% Democrats (down from 67% in 2021)

We gotta emphasize how not just right wing people our turning on the whole trans community.

Isn’t Morrigan Québécois…I’m pretty sure they learn English starting in grade school over there. Why is she framing her experience like she grew up in Yugoslavia. 

[Potato]

lol, while I'm no God of War fan, I should get the Faye game just to support a FEMALE GAME.

Lots of crash outs online for "marvel slop" and "it's Forspoken 2" (ie a woman talking).

Also, Deborah Ann Woll. 🫶

I didn't even give a second thought to the new God of War (cause I've never been interested in the series) until I saw this. Might be the first entry that's actually gotten me interested.

Honestly Sony might’ve struck gold. 
Sony Ponies are going to buy it no matter what cause it’ll be the only game that year. 
All the woke people are going to buy it and then have to play the other games to get the full story.

there's thankfully a lot less chud posting about god of war. a lot of hate I see is for other reasons

but why is domino's pizza grummz posting about this

what the actual hell lol

Good to know that the Domino's in the UK, I guess, is sexist.

They're not worth listening to anyway since they consider pineapple not a pizza topping despite selling it. They only like pineapple lovers for their money after all.

Saw that, so dumb and appealing to the worst people. Glad SSM clapbacked.

FWIW: Threads itself has mentioned they always showcase the most controversial posts on there because they get tons of engagement bait and it's a problem, so everyone else is rushing to post the worst opinions all the time to win.

It's one of the main reasons I closed mine, and that, along with the endless genAI art, was suffering for no reason too.

Someone thought they were absolutely on fire with this one.

Instead they're gonna get turbo fired.

I swear brand managers saw the positive reception to like......Arby's years ago and thought they could emulate that by just dropping some sorta hot take on the company profile. Ignoring everything positive and UNIQUE about what Arby's did.

This is just someone shitposting a cold-take that's been echoed by countless others.

....Chud pizza

Brands used to be encouraging and play pink capitalism on pride month.

Now they yap chud talking points

God these disingenuous morons. "God of War" has ALWAYS been closely tied to Kratos himself. So yeah, a god of war game starring a side character we barely know about, will NOT immediately feel like "God of War."

I don't think the game looks bad at all, but come on, hearing "God of War" paints an image of Kratos: a big buff manly man slaying gods with his masculine rage. It's not fucking "sexist" or "chud" to think that.

[HaughtyFrank]

Reactions would be the same (if not worse) if the game starred Atreus but they always like to call everyone sexist or chud like they did with Forspoken

[Potato]

https://www.resetera.com/threads/faye-gave-me-a-feeling-i’ve-never-really-had-with-a-female-lead-before.1538689/

I think Faye might be the first female lead in a game where I thought: "Yeah, she's cool. I'd want to be her."

I know the new God of War isn't out yet, and we're only going off the trailer, so obviously this is all first impressions. But something about Faye immediately clicked with me, and I've been trying to understand why.

As a male gamer, this is honestly a new feeling for me. I've liked plenty of female leads before. I've respected them, thought they were badass, rooted for them, and enjoyed playing as them. But I don't think I've ever had that specific feeling of seeing a female character and thinking, "I want to be like her."

Egg post

Why does this user hate black women? Why is it only when a white woman is put in the lead role does it motivate them to buy the game?

I'm curious how people feel about the Lara design in Legacy of Atlantis.



Pitched, somewhat, as a return to "classic" Lara, the skintight mountain outfit and some of the framing at the end of the video feel like a thinly veiled "we've righted the course, she's sexy again" wink, but that might be cynicism borne of being too online

At least he's self aware. 

We could have done without the gratuitous ass shots, if nothing else.

Once again, this homosexual closeted gooner thinks that "a woman having an ass" equals "gratuitous ass shots".

Nah, English classes in Québec are pretty much Yugoslavia-level, or at least were back when Morrigan was in school.

Martin Scorsese is embracing generative AI, backing and becoming a partner of Black Forest Labs

Martin Scorsese, the living embodiment of cinema as high art and a conscience for modern Hollywood, on Tuesday threw his weight behind an A.I. start-up that specializes in image generation. In a statement and an accompanying video made in his New York City office, Mr. Scorsese discussed how he had used technology from Black Forest Labs, a fast-rising A.I. venture, during preproduction for a new film.

"I'm interested in the intersection of technology and storytelling, and seeing how that can push the bounds of creativity to create deeper and richer experiences for audiences," Mr. Scorsese, 83, said in the statement, which was shared exclusively with The New York Times. "Remember, cinema is a young medium, only around 125 years old, so we have to be open to how it can evolve."

Black Forest Labs said Mr. Scorsese, a 16-time Academy Award nominee who won best director for "The Departed" in 2007, had signed on last year as a partner and an adviser.

Go make the Kool Aid movie you moron

Of course dude thinks the new shiny tech is neat. AI is, like, custom made to appeal to the old guard whose abilities to direct and write a film are becoming increasingly limited as they age.

boomers are addicted to AI slop. i see it all over my facebook feed with my old relatives

Whelp. Just the same fucking pulling up the ladder behind them boomer shit. The money must be good to ruin your legacy like this.

So all the old fucks who can't be arsed to make the effort anymore.

Just fuck off and retire if your heart isn't it.

So it this going to be a thread where the vast majority condemnes him for it, or is it going to be like some of the recent ones around JP creators where "there is nuance to this subject, guys please let my favourite creator be"

for my perspective: fuck anyone using AI in creative mediums, triply so when there is literally no problem having actial humans do the work.

Old people are worthless lmao

You know what. I wish there was some fucking fairness in the world and we would see some """""""executive-level""""""" AIs/Agents to show some of these freaks that if they are so adamant to remove humans from the production chain then why stop at the bottom, why not go all the way up?

There should be no nuance when it comes to AI, let alone AI and the arts

The dude is 83. At what age do you become more susceptible to bullshit? Is this the filmmaker equivalent of calling an elderly person and telling them they need to buy Walmart gift cards and need to hand over their SSN?

I don't know. Everything about AI in the creative space pisses me off. This video basically does away with Storyboarding. I don't understand what this accomplished that a storyboard did not.

Also, the very end where the dude is like "I wish we could have given you these tools sooner!" Motherfucker, that's Martin Scorsese he did just fine without them.

Blah.

It's obvious these particular shitheads are just blinded by their hate for AI and need any reason to hate on legendary people. Doesn't even feel like genuine commentary coming from the heart; just vindicative bitterness.

im just so bored of not being able to honestly post shit about stupid videogames news without it being a jihad.

There's much to discuss with that god of war game. It's all gone wrong and that shit ain't selling fuck all, certified dragon age. It seems like about 2 years ago DND instagram or tik tok or whatever decided fey universe stuff was cool, someone at santa monica saw it and managed to convince sony to bin off bluepoint and their stupid game (which tbf could have been equally stupid we may never know).

But we cannot surgically cut away at the why. At every level some idiot has just refused to see the woods for the trees and hundreds of millions have been burned on a certain crash disaster. It seems like absolutely nobody in videogames ever actually understood how they made so much money. Except those gangster motherfuckers at nintendo of course. You can imagine the meeting, where someone was like, hey I saw the boys, Jack Quaid is cool those nerds will like it, they'll defend that mother fucker. Those old white men were right. They WILL defend jack quaid jelly cube.

It's all gone wrong and that shit ain't selling fuck all, certified dragon age. 

Part of Veilguard's problem was that David Gaider had quit Bioware a few years after Inquisition, and he helped create a lot of the Dragon Age setting, lore and wrote some of the best characters and moments from the first 3 games. Mike Laidlaw was the lead designer on DA1 and director of 3, and he also left Bioware after the first version of DA4 fell through and they rebooted development. They just lost most of the more important minds behind the previous games, and it was newer devs, probably less willing to push back against bad ideas from management, plus younger writers that just didn't understand what made Dragon Age so good. The tone of Veilguard was just totally fucked like they didn't even understand the IP. 

Cory Barlog is still at SSM and the creative director over all their projects now. The current game director of this new thing started at SSM going back to 2003. The point is, these people understand the IP and worked on the good games.  

The writing might end up being bad in this new God of War but I'm not worried about the game being total shit or not understanding the tone and lore the way Veilguard did. Will it sell poorly? Idk, I'd be willing to bet it at least reviews pretty well. 

It seems like about 2 years ago DND instagram or tik tok or whatever decided fey universe stuff was cool,

2018 and Ragnarok both already had that kind of thing with fantastical, colorful environments, and it sounds like this new game started pre-production right after 2018 launched. I don't think they're chasing trends there, but who knows.

The game design itself doesn't really have me worried or at least I expect it to be the same as the previous games. I did cringe a little though when the two lead writers introduced themselves and said that God of war 2018 was the first God of war they played. The fans are all talking about how Faye might encounter the Greek gods Kratos killed and here I wonder how much the writers will even care for the Greek stuff.
