WATCH Hasan Piker justify the Oct. 7 massacre to a Cambridge student.
Hasan: These (terrorists) aren’t barbaric monsters… it is not coming from a place of antisemitism or wanting to do mass rapes.
Student: The slogan of the Houthis that you so admire is “death to the Jews.”
Hasan: And I've been very critical of that.
Student: Not critical enough not to platform one of them and call him a “sexy pirate.”
Piker should never, ever be taken seriously as a political thinker.
Concept Artist here, the "AI hate" directed at Larian Studio is 100% ignorant and bad faith virtue-signaling.
Artists are NOT against AI usage as a tool, we're against Generative AI that was trained on real artworks and mass-produced "slops" that imitated our hard work and then marketed as our replacement.
In pre-production, the art team would grab random pics off the internet and other games to create a general mood board for aesthetics and "vibe" that fit the art direction (There are more nuances than this, I'm describing this in the most simplified way possible)
A mood board of a character may include several pictures of other videogames or anime shows, dozens of object with "texture references" for parts of their attire, multiple reference pictures of relevant objects such as animals or historical weapons or even other character artwork made for other games; ALL of which are randomly drawn from the internet and put together for the purpose of creating an overall aesthetic for a design that will become original in its own way inspired by its references and the artist's own creativity and originality to visualize it when they create the design by doing ART.
Larian Studio mentioned using AI to streamline this process; an actively menial labor of "looking for relavant and cool pics on the internet" in essence.
There is zero reason why AI speeding up this process is a bad thing; it is essentially the same as someone asking Grok for facts they could have spent a few hours reading through Wikipedia pages.
None of the pictures grabbed by either the AI or the art team in this process are being exploited for any monetary gain since they're simply inspiration and visual direction, this has been standard practice in the industry for decades.
@Bad_Take_Police@stormfall33 No ones saying to play every single long ass RPG in the year. The tweet is saying to play at least THE NOMINEES in that category. As a judge, what are you basing your judgements on if you dont play the fucking games? The game poster and title? Vibes?
We have completed @adhocstudio 's DISPATCH!
What a phenomenally well told story. Enjoyed every episode. Also the "minigame" parts never felt boring or repetitive right up to the end. Strongly recommend this game for Telltale fans.
Huge shoutout to the stellar VA team as well! GG @CriticalRole & crew (and I regretted cutting @MoistCr1TiKaL the whole game. 😭)
In his winners speech at this year’s Golden Joystick Awards 2025, the developer of Clair Obscur Expedition 33 gave a shout-out to Dispatch: ‘Play Dispatch! It’s very very cool and has a very good story.’

🎁Version 1.1 Teaser - "Undercover R&B" | Zenless Zone Zero
How do you define evil and good?
"Lotus flowers bloom from mud, yet emerge spotless, cleansed in the flowing water, yet don't appear overly alluring."
That's the way it is. Some forms of beauty can only be admired from afar and must not be toyed with. Otherwise...

The worst part about the drake/kendrick beef is these dudes are just lying for no reason lol. Like the bias is crazy.
Push ups was a good track
Taylor Made was a good track
Like that was a good track
Euphoria was a good track.
There have not been misses yet.
"Crimson Sky" is honestly the Emmy nomination episode of SHŌGUN for Anna Sawai in my book. Magnificent work from her in this one. Emotionally batters you by the end. #Shogun
Shogun Ep 9 - Crimson Sky
It indeed is a crimson sky but not with an army. Toranaga sent his best weapon to Osaka to execute Crimson Sky and oh man What an Ep 🫣 Brace for another 💔
Writing this with a heavy heart 🥺😑
Anna Sawai is the soul of this Ep
