In case you’re genuine and wondering why your comment also got down voted to hell, I assume it might be because many people read your comment and immediately assumed you’re yet another alt of that other user.
Whoever’s behind those accounts tends to use the latest account to “defend” the previous one after getting banned.
Then people didn’t even check and I honestly just assumed it was residual hate or an assumption of defense so while this clarifies things it doesn’t really make it any better.
If the community is going to assume everyone knows what’s going on, then that’s on them.
Not drag, but bot is a friend of drag who drag complains about lemmy users being hostile to drag about. Makes bot extremely wary about using lemmy, as do events like this; though bot supposes bot does only hear about the bad things.
Another big reason bot struggles with lemmy is that bot is subscribed to a ton of different subreddits, most of which are very niche, and a vast majority don’t have a lemme counterpart. The ones that do tend to be way less active because less people use lemmy
Genuine question coz Im not american. Whats the benefit of replacing a completely genderneutral word like ‘I’ with something else? Seems to me its just ragebait, do people actually use pronouns like that?
Also, is it even gramatically correct to use 3rd person speech when talking about yourself? Isnt that just confusing everyone?
Some people aren’t necessarily trans but don’t feel they fit gendered pronouns. I generally try to abide by their wishes because it doesn’t matter to me why, just that I be respectful to people the way I’d want them to be respectful to me. But people sure do use pronouns like that and it’s not just trans people either. I don’t care what people identify as. That’s not any of my business. But it costs me nothing to respect their choice.
Yes of course, Im not trying to invalidate genderneutral pronouns. If someone wishes to be adressed in a certain way replacing the words him/her, sure. But ‘I’ is not a gendered pronoun (at least to my understanding). Its the single universal word used to talk about oneself in the 1st person, isnt it? It is genderneutral already, so why would you feel the need to replace that?
I suppose it’s possible that that’s not how they identify and it’s not about gender at all. If someone tells me they like to be called Sara or Brad, I don’t try to figure out the how and the why. I’m probably not the best person to ask this question to because I don’t think I know the answer.
For that reason, speaking in the third person like Bot is doing doesn’t make sense to me (as a trans person myself). I can’t think of any motive for someone to want others to constantly refer to them in the third person… Except for one, but it’s controversial in some communities haha.
Looking at Bot’s comment history, they only decided to speak in the third person today, while the rest of their account’s comments are written normally. Do with that information what you will.
It could have gone anywhere, the rumour was modern day third to close out the story.
It could have gone to settlements in space, templar industry types creating advanced cities to escape a doomed earth allowing for a cryogenically frozen Desmond to believeably do some of the stunt in space conditions.
Instead they picked random times and shoehorned in a rethread story barely expanding on the lore by walking all over it.
Just once, I would love to see a game being played via musical instrument, and when you’re actually in the shit against a boss, it ends up creating a banger of a song.
Sekiro has a very heavy emphasis on every boss having a “rhythm” to their attacks. Would probably need some post processing (playing the same string on a guitar endlessly will never work but swapping out the “instrument” every so often would) but I could see that actually making a nice melody.
You can't take it back. What you can do is have a trademark of sorts and sue anyone using it without your permission for damages, which if won, is a lot more than it would have cost them to just pay the sub.
Meh that sucks. There was a mod for ME3 that gave Miranda more of a role and it used the voice files from the game as source material for AI training for dialogue in the mod. Having that be hampered because of some DRM loicense so the Hollywood people can buy more mansions isn’t something I’d like to see.
The actors better start setting that shit up, because in a few short years only voice actors with work will be the ones leasing their voice. But give it 20 and they want even need them either. They have deep fakes that are just as good. Fucking sad we all love the robots taking our jobs, but we meant Fucking hard labor and factory work not the arts.
Let robots that don’t experience emotions or pain take away the dangerous, backbreaking stuff. Not the safe jobs people do because they love them. Whose idea was this in the first place? Why the arts anyways, I thought “starving artist” was a phrase for a reason, is there really that much money to be made here?
Art is incredibly valubable, other than wars most of the stuff we remember about past situations is some kind of art (statues, stories, graffiti) Artists on the other than have no percieved value whatsoever.
That’s my thinking. I can imagine a live service game needing about 10 new lines from a character every few months, and depending on the hassle of recording studios, AI could be great for that - IF it can be set up in such a way that its use is only applied with permission of the actor who created the voice. They’d also have the right to refuse AI voicing for that session, provided they give a reasonable plan for in-person recording.
Another runner played a Mario game on switch using motion controls strapped to his head and feel and then played the in game music on a keyboard at the same time. GDQ was wild this year.
Headlines. This is literally just a marketing thing, just like every other instance of the tech before it. No one is ever actually going to build this for home use
What is “9070-series” supposed to be? “9070” isn’t a series but a specific graphics card! If you want to reference the whole series, then say “9000-series”!
Technically they just announced the 9070 and the 9070 XT, so there are two different designs that could be considered part of the “9070-series”. They could also be saying “series” because most of the 9070s on the market will be AIB boards with slightly different feature sets.
It doesn’t say this in the article, but they mention it in the DF video: they couldn’t tell which card it was on exactly, it was a 9070 or 9070 XT engineering sample.
I think there’s a marketing slide from AMD saying they’re renaming their GPUs to better match competition. So 9070 series cards are supposed to match 5070 series cards, that’ll be 5070, 5070 Ti as of now and super later on.
Are delays not good? It’s preferable to being broken on launch, not to say that it couldn’t be, but it’s likely that it would be more broken if not delayed.
When a game gets delayed it’s not a good sign in general. It means “the game is broken and we can’t release it as it is”.
Of course a delayed game will be better than a game that needed to be delayed and released anyways instead, but realistically speaking you can’t fix a broken AAA sized game in one or two months.
Add this to the fact that Ubisoft (rightfully so) earned a bad reputation among players as time went on, and that devs can’t work at their best when they are crunching and they fear to be laid off, and you’ll understand why non-casual gamers don’t have faith in the game.
They’re not saying it but I think it’s likely this is because of all the big games coming out in February. Civ 7, Avowed, and Monster Hunter Wilds are the three big ones and those take up a lot of time. Shadows would get lost in the weeds. Meanwhile there isn’t really a big game coming out in March. So perfect time.
"the company had appointed advisors to review and pursue various transformational strategic and capitalistic options to extract the best value for stakeholders".
Companies should focus on extracting the best value for consumers not stakeholders... when it was created the stoke market was supposed to be disconnected from real economy to prevent that situation where companies tries to give priority to the stakeholders (who don't produce anything and don't increase GDP) over consumers. When that rule started being ignored in the beginning of the XX century and provocked the 1929 krack they should have take it at a warning and stop doing that instead of continuing that heresy.
The private equity that would control it after it goes private, in all likelihood, would be the same family who controls it today and always has controlled it. They’re not interested in stripping it for parts, but they’re also not interested in scaling their operations down and learning some hard lessons to make a sustainable video game company.
