Hey, regarding Amazon disabling USB downloads: It can be totally bypassed with a download of free software, and one can strip out the DRM, by following the instructions at the link. Then the files are yours to do with as you will, as they should be.

Twilight Princess watching a Nintendo YouTuber call Skyward Sword "The most linear Zelda" for the 500th time (Disclaimer: this is a joke; video games are not sentient individuals capable of observing events and feeling mirth).

Let this be applied to the translation of said game, please. Always try to choose a small boutique/collective that do not force machine translation to its translators. Gen AI does not end with images and assets, it goes down to text and translation or its Steam page.

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

For anyone who may need it, Pexels is a reference site that does not allow AI imagery on it www.pexels.com

BBC just released damning research on AI assistants' news accuracy. Results: 51% of AI responses had significant issues. 19% introduced errors when citing BBC. 13% misquoted or made up BBC content entirely. 🤐🤐 www.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/... via @ezraeeman.bsky.social

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist. Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

It's peak.

xenoblade x is a Woke game about questioning what defines the human experience on a woke planet with a bunch of woke aliens so spread the word so the people against Woke know to skip this one

This week I finished reading Dune Messiah. Seems Frank Herbert wasn't content to write just another rebellious adventure for Paul.

also a reminder not to sub to patreon through ios for this same reason, you're paying more but it doesn't go to creators. use web browser for subs 👏

I am such a fucking girlmess.

Warning anyone who uses paypal for business Starting feb 1st Paypal will dox you if someone can correctly guess your email. Log into paypal go to your invoice settings and change all the info to "Hide From Recipients" www.paypal.com/invoice/s/se...

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Imagine a world where you never learned or tried anything new, you just kept pushing the button for another pellet like a rat.

"there was a lingering feeling of pity for melia" as one of the reasons for FC being made so like. can you guys grow a lingering feeling of pity for M and make the dlc where she exists during FR

Microsoft is going to price gouge you by adding their genAI to your subscription without your consent, and they are not transparent about how to avoid this bullshit. Here's how to change your subscription back to "Classic" for a lower charge without Copilot: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffi...

Being a real man means giving women free shit on the daily.

Idea for a rebalance of the Coin mechanic in new Mario Kart: No coins on the track Coin item grants 3 coins Getting hit causes you to drop 1 coin that others can drive into to collect. Lakitu takes three coins when saving you if you fall, but you can pay extra coins you have for a faster rescue.

Posting this classic from the old place before the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct in April, and all future ones of course.

Finally, the Nintendo Switcher.

Last night in WoW Classic I partied up with two Tauren druids wearing matching gear. They said they were engaged irl very cute 💜

Welp. Apple snuck something dirty in our phones last night. Settings > Apps > (pick an app) > Siri > Learn From this App TOGGLE OFF. You have to go through each app. My garage app, my BANKING APPS, others had that turned on automatically. 😡

a good game can turn into a great game if it sucks a little bit in an interesting way

STOP. ASKING. CHATGPT THINGS. TO OWN IT. We all know it's bad and it can't count the number of Rs in strawberry. Quit boiling the planet with your fucking dunks

What I'd like to see in Xenoblade X DE: •Make grouping up for Squad Missions less tedious •A third Global Nemesis. Maybe a Fogbeast Nemesis? •Let me edit my active party from a menu in the Barracks •Overhaul the Fashion Gear UI •Show Squad Task targets on the main map, not just the mini map

I forgot to say this, but I finished The Silmarillion last week. For years I was scared away from this book by people telling me it was too hard to get through or not a proper story. Having now finished it, I think this is my new favourite book lol
