This is a moot argument. You're saying the system doesn't support artists and that artists shouldn't expect it to. Why not? Why can't the system be changed? Streams should not be equivalent to tweets and it's dumb to think they should be.
I don't think that :/ I think his statements and the games he chooses to back sort of prove that ultimately profit is what he is interested in. I don't blame him for that. But don't make him out to be what he isn't. He is a CEO first, being a fan of games falls lower on the list.
Setting aside the usual arguments on the anti- and pro-AI art debate and the nature of creativity itself, perhaps the negative reaction that the Redditor encountered is part of a sea change in opinion among many people that think corporate AI platforms are exploitive and extractive in nature because their datasets rely on...
Yeah and there are tons of angles and gestures for human subjects that AI just can't figure out still. Any time I've seen a "stunning" AI render it's some giant FOV painting with no real subject or the subject takes up a 12th of the canvas.
I haven't played Timberborn but I almost did pick it up on the spring sale, decided to get dotAGE instead to see what all the fuss was about and damn I love it. It's a lot more of a worker placement game and is a roguelike so if that doesn't interest you it might not be for you but damn it's good so far.
As their name suggests, forever (or evergreen) games are games that don’t have a finale or culmination, as in “The End”. These games have a very high replayability factor (meaning we enjoy playing them over and over again)....
Exactly. Even if the impacts of the national economy were felt among the average voter most presidents shouldn't actually influence the market much at all anyway. Trumps solitary mission in office was to loosen regulations on corpos though so he, in fact, did help the economy to the detriment of pretty much everything else. It's an idiotic metric, countries aren't businesses and saying "profit levels are down 18% :(" is meaningless when profit levels have been steadily ascending to disgusting heights for decades.
He's saying that by saying "if we make an exception for you we have to make an exception for everyone" you are not even entertaining the notion that the person you make an exception for just keeps it a secret.

It's a weird kind of thing because if he had bailed out on his charges then he would be waiting for court proceedings and couldn't be touched but he didn't bail out he was released, so the trial had concluded and he had been serving his sentence and was then released conditionally by this magistrate judge only to be picked up again? Technically the warrant itself does fly but I don't see how the charges stick when he has already been tried for them. I assume there isnt any new evidence or new counts but perhaps I'm wrong. Sometimes people can be reprosecuted if it's determined that the original trial was somehow faulty but usually not so quickly as they have to gather a case for retrial together. So basically this is really weird.
I dunno I love Disco Elysium but that company can fuck right off. They wrestled away the IP from the original creators and the sequel was certain to be a confused hack job with no sense of what made the original so special. The game is definitely worth playing but it's hard to advocate giving them any money when none of it goes to the artists who made it :\
My partner and I do all the regular couple stuff for Valentines. Write eachother cards and little gifts, a nice dinner etc. But we also spend a week or two making art together, just little drawings and what not, and we turn them all into stickers and give them to our friends like Valentines in elementary school. It's our way of sharing the love and making the holiday more about all kinds of love, not just romantic love.
In BoTW the cooking system is very open ended, you kind of just experiment with different ingredients and see if they work together. If they don't they make a plate of inedible food that actually damages your health and stamina. Pictured here is Gordon Ramsay, famous angry chef man, who is yelling at Link for making such a plate.
I think it sounds to me like it just isn't your thing. What you're describing as a frustration is what I love about Elden Ring, you have to figure out every enemy and learn their patterns in order to succeed so every enemy is like it's own little puzzle to solve. There's no secret to avoid that part of the game besides maybe building INT and just avoiding fights which does not sound fun tbh
I definitely would love to see a rework of the network stack at large but idk how you'd do it without an insane amount of cooperation among tech giants which seems sort of impossible
They "supported" a bill that they immediately circumvented, yeah. They had no interest in protecting right to repair they just wanted the PR. It should surprise no one that they're opposed to actual bills that force them to alter their business practices.

Has anybody given this game a try? I’ve been considering it for a while, but money is tight. Curious if it was worth it....

I hate the term "Boomer Shooter"
Not to say I hate the genre, I actually love me some Dusk or Turbo Overkill, but why, oh why are they called Boomer Shooters?...
