Obviously not nearly as bad as the TF2 bot crisis, but it makes getting into the game as a newer player very hard.

[Alocaster @AlocasterTV]

@valvesoftware DOTA 2 standard matchmaking is INFESTED with bots. Especially if you are a newer player trying to match with veteran friends 90% of players are just bots that run down lanes and rarely use abilities, they all have generic names, and they compose most of both teams.

PC players are not itching to go out and buy the latest Nintendo console, though there are some that will, it certainly cannot be a large enough portion to account for the profits to be made from just having a PC storefront. And this is doubly true for Sony. 6/6

[Alocaster @AlocasterTV]

I still don't get the business decision behind every major console manufacturer not making their own storefront on PC. The money that these companies make off of their consoles is tiny in comparison to the amount of money that they make off of the storefronts. 1/6

[Alocaster @AlocasterTV]

The math for the business does not really make all that much sense. If Nintendo creates a PC storefront, the biggest piracy market shrinks by 90% overnight, netting Big N literal hundreds of millions within the year, especially if it is priced reasonably and runs well. 5/6

@pizza990 Her face 100% looks weird but I dare anyone complaining about this panels “sexism” to actually open their eyes and take a look as Superman literally right beside her who has shoulders so much wider than his waist it looks like he’s wearing a giant pizza costume under the suit.

@Bemol417647 Like at this point you have to question if he even knows what a comic book is, like seriously?

@jorsephcorn Not with the power of the FairFax Industries Chimera MK. 1 at his side!

[Alocaster @AlocasterTV]

A perfect example is something like corridor key, a tool they made with the help of both AI and software experts, along with their own understanding of VFX tools to cut down a tedious process that usually takes days of intensive labor to just a few minutes.

[Alocaster @AlocasterTV]

Im just convinced that people genuinely do not know what a decomp even is at this point. Like the idea that any game can be made freely available within a few days to anyone even remotely trained in these tools is a miracle and objectively good.

Ah hell nah they dropped Grok Band

[Alocaster @AlocasterTV]

To be clear, I am terrified of AI and its implications on all of us, I avoid its use as much as possible and find the loss of human hands in many areas concerning, but there is a big difference between AI cutting out the human in a creative process vs a machine process.

[Alocaster @AlocasterTV]

@N0ghl Well reasoned sir

[Alocaster @AlocasterTV]

@Tyler_McV The issue for Valve is that post episode 3 announcement, they’ve said nothing confirming anything to do with an actual release of a “HL3” outside talking about scrapped concepts. So to them, announcing it means that they might actually have to release it some day.

@xopokery @VincentEternal9 Dante in literally every game almost feels like he knows your playing him so he just relaxes for a bit until the cutscenes play. Like every cutscene that plays feels like he gets bored and decides to just start 1-shotting everything in sight like Saitama.

@HanekawasHero Haven’t seen 1 JJBA costume 🤔
