Well… I did not need to know that….

Well I don't want people thinking that they're getting a delivery driver when instead they're getting the FBI.

 

[Shroob]

And this is why my TF2 time is Community servers/MvM these days.

I miss the pre bot days

Don't we all.

 

[TheMightyP]

Considering what Microsoft’s been up to recently…

I doubt it

Rewatched The Avengers

yeah this movie rewrote my brain chemistry back in 2012, I still can't help but love this movie. It is incredibly tropey, but like, it created these tropes for Superhero movies for the most part. The actors are all excellent and the action is top notch.

There are some things that have not aged well, mostly some of the the Whedon-isms and the fact that he is a creep who cannot write women.

Age of Ultron was so much worse in that regard, I can't remember a scene with a women that wasn't a sex joke or them talking about how they wanna **** an Avenger.

Justice for Black Widow

 

[PLATINUM7]

The Xbox Games Showcase presentation is tomorrow.

Think it has a chance to be good?

I hope so. There's a few things from them I'd like to see.

Fable, Perfect Dark, Avowed, Indiana Jones and the Starfield Shattered Space expansion.

There's also that Doom game that's supposedly going to be revealed soon.

They're gonna announce Lego Halo for the Switch instead of anything related to Rare or Crash/Spyro.

Rare’s totally gonna be there.

We gotta get the obligatory Sea of Thieves trailer.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Oh yeah. Forgot about that.

God I can't believe the people at DK Vine actually like that game...

 

[Noipoi]

I don’t agree with every opinion they have, but they’re the only people who bother to talk about Donkey Kong these days so

Y’know

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Y’know

Yeah. I just skip all the Sea of Thieves episodes... which is a lot of the episodes...

 

[Noipoi]

Yeah. I just skip all the Sea of Thieves episodes... which is a lot of the episodes...

Well when their focus is so hyper-specific, and it’s the only modern game that still gets updated they have to talk about, that makes sense.

 

[PLATINUM7]

They're gonna announce Lego Halo for the Switch instead of anything related to Rare or Crash/Spyro.

You mean Mega Bloks Halo.

There actually was a game based on that in development at once point.

Haggar - Cancelled game - Halopedia, the Halo wiki

Haggar was the codename for a canceled Halo Mega Bloks title that deviated from the series' typical design and gameplay. The game was to be originally released on the Xbox 360. The game was apparently cancelled in 2013.

www.halopedia.org

It looked pretty cool, so it sucks it was cancelled.

Mega Bloks? Ew.

Mega Bloks made Halo sets around that same time period so it's understandable.

 

[HyperSomari64]

They also did Pokémon sets, but those were Japan-exclusive.

what are you talking about? They're selling Pokemon Mega Bloks at my target in Pennsylvania.

During the 2000's, in the time of Advanced Generation and Diamond and Pearl, Bandai released MB sets based on those generations for the Japanese market.

I like that their solution to avoid making new molds for the Pokemon is to just make them regular blocks with a fancy printing.

Whoops I'm watching Wild Kratts clips again.

Stilll ruling my bi Aviva + aroace Koki and Jimmy agenda.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Do yall pay your sleep paralsis demons minimum wage or a living wage?

 

[TheMightyP]

No wages, straight to the emerald mines for them.

 

[Noipoi]

My sleep demons are broke too??

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I've never actually had a sleep paralysis demon

 

[Shroob]

I mentioned it last week but we're on friendly terms. Even gets free healthcare.

Do you think people's minds will ever change about AI? Like... it's in all our Sci-Fi. Even the non-dystopian/disaster ones. Like... what else would you call the computer in Star Trek?

 

[Dr.DonPatch64]

WE MAKING IT OUT OF insert awful location here WITH THIS ONE!!!

Oh god I remember that Video, man the song is forever ingrained in my head

Nah, **** AI.



Joking aside, it needs to be regulated to hell. Keep artists safe by discouraging ai art slop and heavy regulations on it to stop things like deepfakes or ai voices being used for fraud or defamation.


And skynet. No skynet.

Coincidence? I think not.

 

[Noipoi]

We need a Special version of Intimidate

 

[Jondolio]

I played a bit more Sonic Frontiers before bed, and I think it pretty much clicked at this point.

The controls felt really weightless at first but that's cause I'm used to the slightly stiffer and more precise movement of Generations, this works for an open world setting

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Fellas, we got footage of a competent guy playing the whole Space Colony Ark Act 1, plenty of pathways, some more open areas, Chaos Control showing you can use it to create extra pathways, Shadow's homing attack being a teleport to bypass laser grids, ramps without springs or boost pads, being fully 3D and the stage being around 5 and a half minutes long, not counting Chaos Controls as it freezes the timer. Gameplay itself looks like it's gonna be as saucy as the style, we are so back we travelled through time

I think a distinction between generative AI and other AI needs to be designated.

That's exactly why they're calling it AI. To invoke sci-fi tropes and make the technology seem more advanced then it is. It's all a branding ploy.

But there's nothing inherently wrong with the technology, moreso with how and why its being used. To replace artists with a cheap, soulless algorithm that was trained on their art without their consent.

That said I still think most AI generated art is crap.

Everyone gangsta until Sakurai announces the next Smash Bros character is
