So Clair Obscur, the game that absolutely won game of the year, lost due to a technicality.

The generative AI use everyone is pearl clutching about would be textures. As in things that have been procedurally generated (you don’t actually care what they look like, they are just there to smooth out wrinkles) for years.

As someone who hates AI, this is just fucking stupid. Like, you are a virtue signaling luddite if you believe that this usage of AI tarnishes the rest of the fucking game.

You mean the experimental reactors? Your comment implies that there are currently big data centers running fusion reactors to power them and that is just false.

No you don’t, now suck down your government mandated AI slop and say thank you — you philistine.

Why would I ever do that? Ever?

I don’t think anyone just uses one device anymore, pretty sure there are workarounds.

Oh, I was genuinely curious — this very same argument can be used when talking about guns. This very same argument is used when talking about guns.

This wasn’t an attempt at a strawman, I’m merely drawing parallels. To say that this one topic is one where Lemmy focuses on the tool and not the people using them is false.

What are your views on gun control?

In a causal sense, yes. In a ‘the average person is fucking stupid’ sense, no.

Can’t argue with that

Yeah, they’ll just make substandard garbage themselves.

That Time I got Isekai’d into a World Where Everything is a Woman!

Right, because Canadians are the only victim here.

The hypocrisy is palpable.

Yes everyone know’s a Canadian’s shit doesn’t stink and the country definitely doesn’t have it’s own fascism problem.

Definitely.

Oh I just assumed that every Conservative jerks off to kids

I have a sneaking suspicion you’re in the wrong post dude
