People keep asking me, and I haven't really had an answer, but now yeah, I'm thinking I'm back.
- Comment on GOG accused of using AI-generated art to promote sale, as job listing indicates they're keen to adopt "AI-assisted development tools" 2 days ago:

- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 VR modder doesn't rule out releasing it for free after DMCA, claims there was "no negotiation" with CD Projekt 1 week ago:
RPCS3 is funded by voluntary Patreon supporters, but they still offer the emulator for free and its open-source. They were hit with a Cease and Desist (or DMCA, idr) by Atlus because they showcased Persona 5 being emulated. To comply with the order, they removed all screenshots and videos of the game, removed it from their games database (it is known as Unnamed), and they don't support anyone asking for help with it. But that was enough to satisfy Atlus, so RPCS3 is still going strong today.
This guy, from all that I've read, has a perfectly good role model for funding his efforts, and CDPR is probably not nearly as trigger-happy than Atlus, and yet he just keeps digging down.
- Comment on Epic and Steam banned it but HORSES is out now on other stores 1 month ago:
Take me with a grain of salt, but from what I understand Valve banned it when they received their evaluation build, and they found a scene of a child character "riding" on the back of an adult, naked, "horse" character, in the form of a human.
Developer immediately took to social media to whip up the current media frenzy you see now. Whether the developer simply didn't realize the implications of what they made, or whether they did it purposely for "artistic license" or "anti-puritan shock value" I leave to you.
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 2 months ago:
No. AI cannot "get better," that's what techbros say so they don't light a trillion dollars on fire. LLMs cannot avoid hallucinations and even now are being trained on their own excrement, human centipede style. They hope you tell yourself this lie so you don't notice when they move on to the next hyped up pile of shit.

- Comment on Why a new Steam Machine when the first ones flopped? Because this time, Valve say, it'll actually have games 2 months ago:
Thank God for that, because after seeing it's ventilation setup, I'm gonna have to drill holes in that front panel. XD
- Comment on GOG say their preservation program has been "harder than we thought", thanks to DRM and elusive creators 3 months ago:
That's journalism right there.
