I’m honestly at a loss for words for what Sony and Microsoft are doing to the video game industry right now. Xbox is gearing up for record layoffs and studio closures and PlayStation is taking a huge step to completely kill physical media.
This feels like a great time to remind everyone that Steam is way more consumer friendly and GOG lets you own your game files DRM-free and with no required internet connection.

We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas

@therealcliffyb Absolutely not alone! We recently watched the Spider Noir series and noticed they actually had a setting to boost the dialogue audio levels. Night and day difference. Obviously I’d prefer proper audio mixing but beggars and choosing and all.
@victryena Dhelmise unironically was one of the final nails in the coffin to “cure” me of being a genwunner. It had been a slow burn over years, but Dhelmise was such a cool concept to me that I think it was what made me accept that all the generations are cool in different ways.
