I voted for Jill Stein in 2012. Then I realized she’s just as much of a grifter as the others. Also why was she at a dinner with Putin and Mike Flynn?

How did this pass 409-2?!

People don’t even look at AI generated photos for more than a second. “Oh neat, next.” SO much wasted electricity for instant garbage. One decent AI image has probably a 100+ shitty ones that are just wasting GPUs and hard drive space. When those drives are full and old they dump them and then fill up some more. A mountain of invisible shit wasting our resources.

The amount of energy it must take to generate a shitty version of Quake II. Yeesh.

The only negative opinions I care about for gaming usually come from Stephanie Sterling, because she’s pretty much right every time.

I’m pretty sure they technically are but no one cares enough to stop their sale. Obama banned “vape flavorings targeting children” which all of them seem to be. I’ve only seen them for sale in vape/tobacco shops. Places that get regulated, like gas stations, aren’t carrying them. At least around where I am in the USA.

Edit. Doing further research… I guess they didn’t?

When there is so much AI slop out in the world that it makes you question whether something is AI or not. That’s definitely erasing human creativity.

Steam requires devs to place it right before the system requirements if they use it. Pretty big print, pretty easy to find. You can see it plain as day on the Black Ops 6 page.

Awesome, appreciate the information!

Edit. Got it set up and configured. So far I’m liking it a lot.

How is it with blocking ads?

It’s been 2 hours since they posted it and that post count is climbing. Yeesh.

There are 188 replies on the community post about it. Most are pretty outraged. https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/information-about-the-new-terms-of-use-and-updated-privacy/td-p/87735

I try to stay a patient gamer. If you do you’re usually rewarded with a discounted, patched up game with content it probably should have launched with. The exception I’ve been using for myself recently for AAA games is, is a the game a single player experience with no micro-transactions? If yes, I’ll buy it day one or close to it. I do want to show them that I’m willing to pay full price for these games if they aren’t predatory pieces of shit.

Wait… when was this? Who did this?

I know of some specific instances of like community managers or a single employee clapping back. Apparently they speak for every employee and the entire studio? Is that how this works?

I haven’t played the game at all since Seekers of the Storm came out but we would play it modded quite a bit before. The Samus character mod is so much fun.

Digital Foundry has complained about the stuttering issues in all of those games. Jedi Survivor still gets brought up.

Arkham Knight was the first I noticed it really bad on, no RT present. Since then it seems most Unreal titles suffer from it in some kind of way.

I remap a lot of my controls to try and be uniform across games as they can be.

My main thing is I hate it being used as a replacement for human creativity. I definitely think it has its uses. I like using DLSS and DLAA in games that support it. For the most part it’s made my gaming experience better. I see its usefulness with generating conversations for NPCs in a game. That’s crazy cool but it needs to be tiptoed around. It shouldn’t be used to replace writers, voice actors or artists.

I signed up for Midjourney a while back to see what all the hoopla is about. As I sat there refining my prompt and regenerating OVER and over and over to hopefully get something that wasn’t all fucked was such a waste of my time and an exponential waste of compute and electricity to generate what is essentially instant garbage. It’s crazy and I felt bad about using it afterwards.

Some friends were freaking out about following JD Vance on Instagram. Then they realized they had followed @vp when it was Kamala’s handle.
