Writer. I do the Youtube thing, where I write and talk about games. Master of uncontrollable rambling.

New video up. It examines Blizzard Entertainment's historical use of RNG and how it's been a part of their games forever, ranging from gameplay elements to monetization.

@therealcliffyb I looked -- it's slop.

Have some pride in actual art, man.

[AtlasOne @TheAtlasOne]

@ArmedJ0y Needless hostility toward someone engaging you earnestly! Unsure why that was necessary but have a good one man. :)

[AtlasOne @TheAtlasOne]

@C9Mang0 Huge congrats on your 300 day milestone. You are winning every day, don't let anyone take that from you.

[AtlasOne @TheAtlasOne]

@arvalis @MinistryOvTrvth So sick of people referring to AI as "a tool" when it is 1,000% a service.

Telling something to do something for you and going "okay looks good" is not using a tool. It's using a (bad) service.

[AtlasOne @TheAtlasOne]

Sometimes I feel like modern Overwatch is a psyop and this is one of those times.

These are minute changes that don't make her look anything like the animated version, and still make her look the same as every other Overwatch girl. Same face is real.

[AtlasOne @TheAtlasOne]

@kommanderkarl AI models cannot be trained only one one person's work, or even one company's entire library. It requires millions of pieces of data, all of which were harvested by unethical theft.

Being "outpaced" means nothing because art is not a measurement of who can do things the fastest.

@paulb3rd @TieGuyTravis Any review written with the purpose of aligning with a popular viewpoint is totally pointless.

Honest and informative reviews are always the most valuable, even when they go against common consensus. The goal is not to only read reviews that you agree with, it's to be informed.

[AtlasOne @TheAtlasOne]

@TieGuyTravis It's absurd that people are angry at you for an honest review to begin with.

We all have different preferences and you were pretty clear on why you bounced off the game. Why does that matter to someone else who loved it to begin with?

[AtlasOne @TheAtlasOne]

@K0kush0 @stevenspohn Correct. People regularly advocate against the inclusion of accessibility features *because* they conflate them with difficulty options, and feel that their games should be uncompromising to all. This is huge in the Souls scene, for instance.

[AtlasOne @TheAtlasOne]

@LeroneMurphy 1-2 were so clearly you. It's not a surprise that every media outlet scored the fight for you.

Sucks to lose your 0 this way. At worst it should have been a draw (though I think you edged out round 3 as well).

[AtlasOne @TheAtlasOne]

@arielhelwani I had it 47-47 at worst, 48-46 for Lerone if you give him round 3 (I did).

48-46 is actually unbelievable. I'm a Evloev fan but I'm, gutted for Murphy that he lost his 0 in this way.

[AtlasOne @TheAtlasOne]

@GC50Art 75% of this website is bots. Of the ones that remain, a bunch are just awful people.

Never give up! Your work is great and you'll only continue to improve with time. You're already winning at life because you have passion. Never forget that.

[AtlasOne @TheAtlasOne]

@Neon_Crusade @arvalis @oliemack Excellent -- this is a perfect demonstration of what I described! Thank you.

[AtlasOne @TheAtlasOne]

@oliemack Profoundly ugly, yes.

Overriding the artistic direction in a visual medium by random draw is nauseating.

[AtlasOne @TheAtlasOne]

@arvalis @oliemack Cook 'em.

These morons genuinely cannot even comprehend why someone *wouldn't* want the artistic direction in a visual medium to be overridden by random draw.

They actually cannot understand why that is horrible and offensive to so many people. It's profoundly sad.

[AtlasOne @TheAtlasOne]

@synaesthesiajp @Owl_Vigilant It literally changes the character's face into a different face.

If you can't see why people think that looks horrible, I'm not sure how to explain it to you. Sad behavior, man.

[AtlasOne @TheAtlasOne]

@Gladd The good news is that if you genuinely can't see why it looks horrible, congrats! You're the target audience!

[AtlasOne @TheAtlasOne]

@synaesthesiajp It looks awful, no amount of gaslighting or trying to spin not wanting their games to look like an instagram filter as "haters" is going to convince me otherwise.

Artistic direction matters in visual mediums, actually. Shocking, I know.
