You know, just once, I want some world-ending event to be on the verge of happening, and world leaders come to me for a solution, just so I can quote Seal and say, "We're never gonna survive unless... we get a little crazy." Is that too much to ask?
People losing their shit about how much more amazing FF7 Rebirth character models look compared to the originals has me actually confused. What the hell were you expecting? The originals were literally Lego people.
@D14M0ND5@AceofDragons1 Again, that's not really what it's about. Have you read up on the issue? The issue is that the studio scans the actor, pays them 100-300 bucks, and then owns their likeness "in perpetuity", and can place them in any project they see fit, without consent or royalty.
Been reading up on the writer's/actor's strike lately, with all the AI bullshit, and I gotta say...
I've read the Butlerian Jihad, so if someone doesn't discover spice on Arrakis soon, we're all dead.
@D14M0ND5@AceofDragons1 I was speaking more on the actor's strike issue of studios scanning actors and then replacing them with AI. The art issue has been beaten to death at this point.
Y'know... everybody on the internet talkin' about #FinalFantasy16 like "WoW, that's so Game of Thrones", and I'm sitting here like "No, that's so Dune".
So, with all this craziness going on with Twitter and whatnot, just remember that Shadowrun still exists, and if you stick with 3rd edition, it'll never let you down.
...unless you make a deal with a dragon, I guess.
As an avid consumer of post-apocalyptic and dystopian media of all forms... I see you, Modern Civilization As We Know It. I see what you're doing.
Stop it.
