Funny. Just today I installed a CFW on a PSP Phat. Not for personal use, though; I’ve never liked what was available on the PSP, and I have a Steam Deck I can emulate on.

But my younger brother bought a second hand PSP.

I’m wondering what sets this apart from EmuDeck and RetroArch.

I already use MusicBrainz Picard to scan and sort my music files.

Ah fuck, more generative AI!

“No, actually, you’re completely wrong!”

OK…? Then what is it?

“It’s generative AI.”

This announcement comes suspiciously close to the announcement of them including a lot more AI bullshit.

How far Firefox has fallen. This is really sad to see.

Amazing! Let’s take a look at all the exclusives for xbox!

Tumbleweed

Fuck Krafton.

Excellent! Thank you!

…

… The world has gone very wrong when this doesn’t even sound so unbelievable. I only see one issue:

So far the US seems to have given up trying to make pretext for anything. Trump can do anything he wants and be worshipped for it.

I don’t need to. You fail to see how completely irrelevant “how games used to be” is to the discussion of ethics in AI use. If you’re going to use that as some sort of excuse to give a pass on a studio, then you’re right; I don’t care what you think, and neither should anyone else, because it makes you part of the problem.

I frankly don’t really care if in the past there was no voice acting in games.

The point is, there is voice acting now, and if they’re going to add voice acting to their games they could have the decency of hiring actual voice actors. And if using AI is a must, they better make sure it’s used in a way that justifies it.

I was born in the early 90s, so I grew up with plenty of late 90s and early 2000s videogame jank. But I don’t see how that can be used as an excuse for corner-cutting practices today.

Less tell more show.

There are loads of technical issues with Palworld that put me off from buying it.

Ragebait.

“Frequent updates” sounds to me like “breaks frequently”.

I’m using an Intel card, which is still seeing problems fixed with every update. But I’ve been on the road of bleeding edge before and it’s been one messy problem after another.

If I can strike a balance between latest and stable, at the cost of a slightly slower update speed, I’d prefer that.

One country already bombed another, and falsely thought that they could do so unchallenged.

What does CachyOS have over Bazzite?

It has very little human voice acting. The vendors you interact with, which you’ll probably interact with the most, use sound-generated voice lines. And they have the flattest, blandest line deliveries.

It’s not like there are a lot of lines they say in the first place. For a studio that wants to shove AI into everything they’re not using it in any way that would justify AI. Like, there are no characters that call you by name, or generate responses based on your actions. They just have 5 or 6 voice lines each… Something you’d expect in a regular game!

On the other hand Arc Raiders is the only UE5 game that actually runs well, due to the studio completely reengineering it’s rendering pipeline. Basically they built their own version of UE5. Though I wonder how much vibe coding was used in the process. Perhaps the cracks will start showing eventually.

Ah… I’ve always pronounced it as re-agents. I’ve also spoken with several British people who pronounce it that way.

Their best use for AI was the deep learning algorithm they used for the drone’s movement system.

Everything else is…

I do wonder how much of their games are vibe-coded. But glad they’re seeing the light when it comes to VC.

The commanding officers said that the intention is to maximise the carnage in order to bring about Armagaddon.

So… Um… When they command airstrikes on schools and kill thousands of children they genuinely believe they are the good guys.

People like this should be put into a nuthouse. Failing that, shot.
