My thoughts exactly! One of the biggest reasons for the hate on wolverine is that it made the contradiction between aesthetics(hardcore,gamer,manly,brutal,etc) and the actual gameplay(pandering, shallow,braindead,etc) inherent to almost all action games just a little too obvious, imo
Wolverine's game design was a little too real for people. They play games that are essentially the same thing but they dress it up very slightly better, letting them pretend that they're not playing condenscending automated slop

A new version of ChatGPT is about to drop. Academics like @alexhanna.bsky.social and Emily Bender have been pointing out for literal years that these scare tactics about how powerful and scary AI is actually work as marketing.

At this point, being this gullible is a choice.
OpenAI’s top scientist, in a blog post on Sunday, warns that artificial intelligence is evolving so rapidly that it is becoming increasingly difficult for humans to understand and control it.

Here is the post:

And a couple of small excerpts--clear warnings.

But also, that's not the "crux of the debate". AI is NOT "doing mimicry" nor is it "doing reasoning"
I was trying to get through to one of the staff of this site yesterday but like, this is psychosis. The people who run this site think AI is alive. How do you come back from this

You're a vertical shooter. Translating the entirety of the first Darius collection was a job that took me two days and cost Taito or whoever footed my bill like $500 back in the day. If you wanna save money, just don't hire generalist agencies where like half the fee is pure profit margins lol

Hey everyone! 🔥 The closed playtest is finally here! 🔥 I’ve made quite a few changes and spiced things up, so this version is pretty different from the one some of you may have played before... 👀 The details are in the Discord, if you’d like to give it a shot discord.gg/umSkthTfJX

Book of Fuligin is a weird sci-fantasy comics anthology in honor of Gene Wolfe that me and a bunch of excellent artists created in 2022-24.

I realized that many people who follow me here don't know about it, so it's time to change that.

Hi all! I’ve been pretty quiet on here lately because I’ve been so busy working on my game. I’ll be doing a closed playtest soon and will share more details in the coming days. In the meantime, feel free to jump into the Discord! discord.gg/umSkthTfJX
