my only wider contribution to this discourse is that systemic issues are caused by systems, and those same issues are affecting games as much as media, so maybe have some solidarity with everyone suffering through it instead of peddling wildly generalising tropes about "the media"

From Reddit: all 32 French actors from a game heavily implied to be Apex Legends have refused further work on the title due to a new clause that allows the devs to train AI. Solidarity to them all, and to all other VAs who are likely facing down the same barrel. www.reddit.com/r/Games/comm...

That's tragic. What a sad start to today. Use it to make your day better, to fight for something better, and hold the people you love closer tonight.

So tonight’s movie is Kensuke’s Kingdom and… after The Wild Robot I’m starting to feel like we’ve lost some special sauce in animation land because both these movies are pretty but, with a script that could fit on a napkin.

Another game dev studio down. This can’t continue. I’m sorry for everyone who’s affected by this. It must suck. I’m sorry for everyone else already here who just felt the weight of another dev-load of folks joining the game job dole queue.

10 mins into The Apprentice and I’m blown away by how good Stan and Strong are in this, how unlike themselves they seem.

Legacy media is so corporately captured they are trying to push a story that Hooters is going under because Americans have given up on large breasted women in tight shorts rather than it being purchased by a private equity firm in 2019 and being loaded up with $300,000,000 in debt.

Please take a moment to respond today, or tomorrow. Every voice counts in the fight to save writers' rights from AI.

I was watching a clip from Interview with the Vampire, and it occurs to me that Tom Cruise is playing Lestat kind of like someone playing an RPG or a Telltale game on they're 4th playthrough where they're just mucking about. At least until it gets too crazy and they try and make it make sense.

Been catching up on the various award contender movies. So far, the definite top drawer contenders have been Conclave and I’m Still Here. Wasn’t quite so sold on The Wild Robot, or Substance, and the less said about Emilia Perez the better.

I must be having a Mandela Effect moment but I was SURE there was Pop Culture Detective video about movies that end with the “heroic suicide” trope. I must have dreamed it.

I’m Still Here (Ainda Estou Aqui) is a really solid film. It’s that sort of movie where you get to the end and you don’t feel like you watched a movie, you feel like you lived it.

Genuinely fascinated by this, in part because I want to know what the gradient of challenge will be like, and how other ingame mechanics will push & slow the player. Hunger? Weather? Exhaustion? Can I literally run my horse to death?

The only rule you absolutely have to follow in order to have a successful news organization is "don't print lies in the newspaper" and they are going hard for the plagiarism machine that frequently hallucinates false information

Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.

"Anti-migrant politics will not build a single house, staff a single hospital or raise anyone’s wages. Instead, by echoing its rhetoric, the government is simply fuelling the rise of Reform UK" Well done to these Labour MPs, trade unionists, and members. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Tech bros want you to think that the AI they’re shoving in everything is a butler that caters to your every whim. In reality it’s like having 4 weirdos living in your house that guess what you want, get it wrong & cause chaos, & when you try to tell them to stop they hide. Also they steal from you
