First Asmongold, now Notch. Any other famous bigoted incel want some easy PR?

Weird. That works all the time on Pawn Stars

Pinecone? I don’t get it…

How’d you get it to do this?

I just wanted to see if you’d actually go out of your way to fake a gimp screenshot. The guy has 17 fingers and 3 arms and the baby has 14 toes and one hand is meshing into the arm of the man. It’s AI. The screenshot also doesn’t have a layer for most things that would have layers like the text that says “Yoink” and for some reason the baby is half in one layer and half another. The checkered pattern in the layer view is messed up. Why would you go to such lengths to lie? Just say it’s AI. It’s obvious.

Post your gimp screenshot

There are 14,000 games released on Steam every year. What percentage do you believe contain in-game purchases? It’s quite literally just the giant AAA venture capitalist backed studios that do this. Just don’t buy them.

It’s like saying if we allow AI art to continue soon there will be no more humans making art. People will always make art. People will always make games. If all the art you see is corporate slop that’s a you problem.

Hank Green actually posted a video relevant to this yesterday. He was reading a Fox News article about a machine that can turn C02 into fuel that an internal combustion engine can use.

He then scrolled to the comments and saw all the posts talking about climate change being a hoax. He says it would be very easy to assume the average Fox News reader is a climate change denier. If you were to ask him how many people in the US deny climate change is real, he’d guess around 50%. However, surveys have consistently shown it is less than 10%. It is a minority of people. His point was that people leaving stupid comments are not the average person, they’re just really vocal, and try not to assume stupid comments are reflective of the average person’s beliefs.

To save people from looking it up: The studio that made Dave the Diver is traded on the Tokyo stock exchange, has 7,000 employees, and brings in $2 billion USD per year.

This is like when people say they must add stuff to coffee to make it addicting. Yeah, caffeine.

It’s a video game. It’s all CG.

Is it because he’s a westaboo?

“We record with other actors in a studio in Los Angeles, so it’s a bit of a problem if they don’t have native-level English skills”, he said.

Yep.

US law allows companies to enforce essentially any terms of service or end user licence agreement they want when selling products or services and rewriting laws to add an exception for video games is never going to happen.

Stop Killing Games believe existing EU laws don’t allow this and are alleging some TOS and EULA of game companies are in violation. They want the EU parliament to review that and hopefully clarify the laws to ensure game companies aren’t “depriving citizens of property”.

From the petition:

We wish to invoke Article 17 §1 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union [EUR-Lex - 12012P/TXT - EN - EUR-Lex (europa.eu)] – “No one may be deprived of his or her possessions, except in the public interest and in the cases and under the conditions provided for by law, subject to fair compensation being paid in good time for their loss.” – This practice deprives European citizens of their property by making it so that they lose access to their product an indeterminate/arbitrary amount of time after the point of sale. We wish to see this remedied, at the core of this Initiative.

The hope is that companies won’t make two versions of their games. One that complies with EU law and one that doesn’t. No idea where that comes from. GDPR is EU law and many companies created two versions of their service to avoid needing to follow it for everyone. Some companies, including game studios, even dropped their EU customers entirely instead of complying.

It’s also become YouTuber drama bait at this point and is an easy way smaller channels can get extra views.

Ah 2024, great year!

This is a fetish thing isn’t it?
