It’s so frustrating when I get an ad for something I already wanted. Like, great, now I’m not gonna get it. Jerks.

Hexagons are the bestagons!

I agree with you on most of those, though personally didn’t find much soul in Horizon Forbidden West or God of War Ragnarok. Likely just a taste thing.

That’s true. I personally consider it AAA, since it was published by Sony, which does fit the wikipedia definition, despite it being developed by Arrowhead.

As you said, people shouldn’t focus on AAA games as much as they do. Anyone who knows gaming in the modern day can fairly accurately predict that AAA games will be shit on launch, and will only sometimes improve to something playable eventually. Meanwhile, indie and AA games tend to be at least enjoyable at launch, and often don’t have the bullshit gambling or microtransaction scams that AAA games have. Oh, and they also have soul, which a corporation shitting out a new game every year will never be able to replicate.

Honestly, the last AAA game that I enjoyed was Helldivers 2, and I’ll still boo it for its warbond system, even though you can grind for the in-game currency.

Give me back my gamer girl, Sonic!

Dammit, beat me to it by a minute lmao

Fucking hell. I… really gave you too much credit, huh? “Who cares that the only films average people will see are AI trash?” Like, if you don’t get the problem here, I really don’t think I can explain it.

So you don’t know how much people don’t care.

Sure, they’ll exist. Just like how parts for old rifles are technically still being made today. But most people will never see one, nor do they care to see one. Most people don’t care about the quality of films, hence the success of a lot of the Marvel films despite rapid decreases in quality, or the Star Wars sequels. I shouldn’t need to explain why most people only seeing the shitty AI slop films is a bad thing.

That’s exactly how capitalism works. AI is cheaper than hiring people, and any company that doesn’t take any and every opportunity to increase profits is failing at capitalism.

How dystopian, you mean. Companies will try to replace as many jobs as possible with AI, meaning everything gets considerably worse in quality and reliability, and there won’t be any new jobs to replace the old ones, leading to drastic unemployment everywhere. The only ones they won’t be able to replace are the jobs that actively destroy your body from doing them. Every mainstream social media will be flooded with shitty AIs pretending to be human, so people don’t form any real connections and are easier to manipulate via tweaking their AI “friends” a bit. Any government that doesn’t pass Anti-AI laws will find their bureaucracy jammed by a glut of AI generated proposals. Legal trials will become a sham as any evidence you need can just be generated, no need for the truth. Our current actors will be turned into AI versions, and then every movie created by that company forevermore will use only those AIs because it’s cheaper. The education system is already being completely circumvented by people generating answers to their work, so they don’t learn anything. Neither humans nor AIs are ready for how hard they’re trying to shove this stuff into everything.

Or the sequel, Doctor Robotnik’s Ring Racers

Then clearly, chicken noodle soup is a stew. /j

Yeah, you’re right, I didn’t really consider those kinds of soups…

You drink a soup, and you eat a stew.

I’m pretty sure you can’t pick up landfill without mods.
