I could live with that fundamental character lineup change to Paper Mario if they just didn't oversaturate the game with multiple versions of the same character. There's honestly plenty of characters/enemies in the Mario universe that you could populate an RPG with, but for whatever reason they go super Toad heavy. like, there's Eerie, Blargg, Galoomba, Rex, Jelectro, Muncher, Goonie, Burt, Tap-Tap, and that's just from mainline Mario games on NES/SNES. dig into Mario Land 1-3, the 3D Marios, there's plenty of material they just outright ignore that could easily populate the world with disparate characters

i hate this news. I hate that bobby kotick will continue to oversee and do nothing about harassment in his company for at least the next year and a half if not longer. i hate that this will go through without a block, i hate that this was done purely for money and opportunity and a stock bump, i hate that employees who already are fighting for their rights now have to dread whether they'll even keep their jobs after the merger goes through, i hate acquisitions in general, and i hate that the whole thing feels like a reward for activision rather than a punishment. gently caress capitalism and gently caress everyone involved with this. :/

MikeJF posted:Nah, overall it seems like they're a lot better on that front since they switched up to Satya Nadella/Phil Spencer as CEO and head of gaming respectively in 2014. That said, they've made a lot of big acquisitions in the last few years and it hasn't really been long enough to see how that plays out for those studios in the long term.

I really don't think Nintendo gives a poo poo about the acquisition game and has no interest in being acquired. Microsoft already tried to offer a merger with them before and they were laughed out of the room.

They probably would just make more money keeping it multiplatform, and then have it on Gamepass as the hardware seller, so they'd still benefit. Also, to this point, no Activision game has ever been on Gamepass, and we might start seeing them come over this year in the lead-up to the merger. It'll give them some tentpole headliners from month to month if they can say that, for example, Sekiro were to come to Gamepass.

got the PR in my inbox, indie people are starting up a new studio focusing on employee wellness and looking to make Journey-type games (the co-founder was a designer on Journey so yeah).quote:Co-founders Chris Bell (Journey, What Remains of Edith Finch, Sky: Children of the Light, Way), Lexie Dostal (Dustforce), and Stephen Bell (Blaseball, What Remains of Edith Finch), alongside a talented team of developers from projects such as Spider-Man, Ratchet & Clank, Skyrim, the Fallout series, Ashen, and The Hobbit, are excited to officially announce their remote-first studio: Gardens. Gardens is built on the initiative of growing a studio that’s transparent, sustainable, inclusive, and empowering. The team's core mission is to create vibrant online games that foster meaningful multiplayer moments and relationships between players around the world. not sure what this means for Hitbox Team, but I assume Spire is dead since it's been in development for, what, 9 years? And there hasn't been an update on the hitbox site in 5 years. The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 16:04 on Feb 2, 2022 |

it's really cool actually to just train an AI on living artists' portfolios so that you can put them out of a job and flood the market with soulless garbage based on their styles. that owns a lot and isn't at all terrible empowering the next generation of Todd Goldmans The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 07:08 on Sep 16, 2022 |

the biggest problem that I see with AI art being used by mega studios is that without proper disclosure of where the bots are training from, there's a chance that Ubisoft uses AI art that ends up stealing art from Nintendo or Naughty Dog or something (it is clear that even midjourney, the most theoretically ethical, has been trained on commercial artwork from Studio Ghibli, based on what i've seen) and art theft is at least somewhat taken seriously at the AAA level, because Naughty Dog had stolen a painting from ACIV: Black Flag for an Uncharted 4 trailer where they painted over the assassin in the painting, and when it was called out, they immediately replaced the trailer i also think that if this was taken to a legal setting and it was big companies doing the lawyering, there's no way a judge is going to side with the "isn't technology exciting! the future!" people and is instead going to make a ruling along the lines of "a machine isn't capable of creative expression" and therefore such work isn't transformative enough and thus infringing on copyright that's why I think ultimately the best usage for these AI models, at least in the early going, is to be non-commercial use only, basically for mockups and visualizing your ideas. and then discuss with regulators and an ethics board how best to put together a service that can be trained only on public domain and copyleft works for commercial usage. maybe even donated art and art collections. i just feel like there's a better way to be doing things than just flying by the seat of the pants The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Sep 18, 2022 |

E: gently caress i apologize for the big fuckup, it was crowbcat who put the racist meme in their AC origins. dunkey IS the one who got banned from LOL & DOTA for being too toxic though. dunkey said some racist poo poo in a different video that has since been privated. i get these fuckheads mixed up because they both do the same videos basically yeah Dunkey's ban from LOL was for hate speech https://www.pcgamer.com/league-of-legends-youtuber-gets-banned-for-hate-speech-makes-angry-video/ quote:"However, we really can't show favoritism to someone just because they are a pro or a known content creator. This isn't really a debate about whether trashtalking is OK or not OK in games; we've talked a lot in the past about how we're OK with players bantering with their friends but you should be careful when interacting with strangers who may not understand your intentions–especially if you're using hate speech or slurs. We have a zero tolerance policy against hate speech, racism, homophobia, and sexism and that policy stands whether you're a random player, a pro player, or a Youtube celebrity."

yeah i goofed on that and apologize for the mixup. here's instead a vid where he drops the F word in 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fGma2q_zyw i don't want to get too far in the weeds on this, and since his new video is just bragging about his apparent tastemaker status, i guess none of this is really thread appropo anymore. so i'll get back on industry stuff Vizuyos posted:Honestly, it says a lot that they even bothered to announce it. Only a tiny fraction of Twitch streamers are making that 70/30 split, they're all on individualized contracts, and I'm pretty sure they haven't actually given anyone new a 70/30 contract in a while. The timing is also interesting with Youtube announcing licensed music for creators today, which I think will at least cause a partial swing of people from one to the other, as copyrighted music continues to be one of the big issues for streamers, as well as content creators in general. Twitch being like "oh by the way, we're taking a larger cut" is awkward timing to be sure. I think Twitch has like, an amount of safe music, but not a ton. And if Youtube gets even one semi-big label on board, it'd be pretty massive. That said, the fact that you lose a significant cut for each piece of licensed music you use without licensing directly, is gonna be an issue too.

I think it’s fair to not yet be having a specific take about cultural differences based on what was originally posted in this thread as “word on the street” Outside of that, I would be surprised if Hale comments, unless she also wants to break NDA. A proper journalist could dig in and uncover the full details and I wouldn’t be surprised if that happens, given that this story has gotten large enough to even be on TMZ’s radar.

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/how-much-does-from-software-crunchquote:Following the success of Elden Ring, a series of negative reviews of From Software surfaced on Twitter, claiming that staff at the studio often faced excessive overtime and a chronic dissatisfaction with pay. quote:One source was quick to refute the stereotypes of Japanese companies overworking their staff: "The general industry in Japan is not that crazy compared to my experience in other fields. Japan has a lot of holidays [and] there is a rule that [From Software] staff shouldn't stay later than 10pm, and 90% of the time, staff won't stay later than 9pm." quote:One suggested the long hours are a bit like playing Dark Souls. "It's kind of tense in a way," they say. "There's a lot of struggle to get things right, but if you get over the hump it is very satisfying. It's just like you defeated a boss in Dark Souls."

if a kid accidentally picks up one of his dad's 150 automatic weapons that he keeps in the garage, it's on the parent for not being a responsible gun owner and making sure the guns aren't loaded "wait why are we allowing people to buy and own 150 automatic weapons" that doesn't matter. shut up. there's nothing we could ever do about that. let's just concern ourselves with what the owner does after buying the 150 guns
