FiniteBanjo,

Part of me wants to give some benefit of the doubt but it’s really difficult. Maybe he was trying to meet up at the nintendo panel for upcoming Super Smash Bros Ultimate and the Twitch admins read “I can’t wait to smash with you.”

If DrDisrespect has actually been wronged then we will find out eventually after a defamation suit, part of the reason they settled it last time might be because the mere allegations being released to the public could be harmful but that cat is out of the bag.

FiniteBanjo,

I always knew he was a gambling addict.

FiniteBanjo,

I don’t know anything about moon pictures, my best attempt was not great

But how did they composite 81,000 images without worrying about atmospheric lensing distorting the proportions as it moved across the sky for 4 days? Is it just negligible?

FiniteBanjo,

Huh? Nah it’s an old Canon 1300D. I had to hold the tripod still with sandbags while it took.

FiniteBanjo,

My theory is that they’ve been reallocating teams into Zenimax Online studios for projects like ESO. TBH I’ve been playing it and it’s pretty cool compared to the dated feel of Vanilla Skyrim. If any of you own it, ESO Plus is free until June 19th, you just have to head to the Crown Store and click the free trial button.

FiniteBanjo, (edited )

Combat Difficulty? I haven’t experienced that yet and I’m at CP 385. When does the difficulty start? Are you talking about the super late game trials?

Oh you mean lack of difficulty, yeah I feel that it’s sort of a let down.

FiniteBanjo,

For sure the mechanics are wack, but it’s got fully voiced dialogue for tons of quests, it’s got material gathering and a bunch of other exploration based activities to do. It’s also got equipment and consumable crafting, but TBH not much of it is actually useful except for Provisioning.

Argonian Templar, stuck with the training gear until summerset isles and swapped to Psyjic Gear to prep for trials.

FiniteBanjo,

I risk sounding like a fucking shill, but it’s a purchase to own the game, the subscription is only for ESO Plus which gives access to all DLCs without having to purchase them individually.

FiniteBanjo,

Well

If any villagers were even still alive.

Sorry DA:O family estate, workers, and also my bisexual lovers, rest well knowing that I carried out your vengeance. I guess I also kind of avenged any rats who survived my slaughter, too, huh? Does that make us even?

FiniteBanjo,

AI Voices are just worse or require more work for less pay, and they actually seem less common in the (well made) indie scene than in the Triple A scene.

FiniteBanjo,

Yes, support your local cat girl VAs or they will disappear forever.

FiniteBanjo, (edited )

Maybe a good balance would be hiring a person to speak lines into a microphone. It could employ a person and create art with an acceptable bare minimum quality standard. If you can’t afford that and would rather push the costs onto government subsidies for power and emissions, maybe instead just do text dialogue or pull a classic Banjo and Kazooie single dialogue line randomly jumbled up and pitch shifted for every interaction.

FiniteBanjo,

Strange, the link is working on my post for me.

FiniteBanjo,

If vases at the store were Handcrafted by LLMs, as if that made any fucking sense, then I’d rather go without, yeah.

FiniteBanjo,

Why did you unlike your own comment?

FiniteBanjo,

To obtain respect from others often requires respect for ones self.

FiniteBanjo,

I don’t think the vast majority of games which could make use of AI Voice have the sort of accessibility features to be played by those individuals even if they could hear the dialogue. It’s such a rare occurrence for a blind person to beat halo or an RPG that news articles get written about the examples.

FiniteBanjo,

At this rate we are in fact going to need to have separate awards shows for non-LLM artistry.

To answer your question, though, it’s more than just the refusal but the addition of an anti-AI story campaign.

FiniteBanjo,

If you didn’t care about what others thought, you would not have sent me that reply.

FiniteBanjo,

Using machine learning to clone voices required building upon millions or maybe even billions of lines of dialogue to reach the current point, and only now that it is here can you easily approximate a person’s voice without them even knowing. So yes, it does magically generate sound with minimal input, that is how that works.

The machines that are currently used to shape and paint ceramics are not Machine Learning models. They’re simple and precise automations. Like a program that packages audio to .mp3 format. The equivalent to that would be a machine that designs the vase based on thousands of older examples, designs the packaging, and designs the machinery that prepares it. It’s going to do a shit job that negatively impacts consumers but in the process it displaced thousands of workers in one go, so enjoy the profits.

FiniteBanjo,

I didn’t miss shit, your points are just ass.

FiniteBanjo,

Feels like it doesn’t really help the developers when we keep saying this.

FiniteBanjo,

They were forced to change the name and some artworks after receiving a cease and desist by Sony over the BloodBorne Intellectual Properties.

In the USA, IP protects not only blatant name copies but also applies to any product that attempts to make consumers associate the two or confuse the two. So by constantly saying “ITS BLOODBORNE KART ITS THE KART GAME BASED ON BLOODBORNE! SONY’S IP BLOODBORNE PRODUCT, RIGHT HERE!” we’re actually making future lawsuits more likely.

FiniteBanjo,

Imagine if we had better PS4 Emulators than PS3 emulators, soon.

FiniteBanjo,

Sucks to Suck, pal, I bought my phone bootloader unlocked, play on PC, and have a regular Television.

Maybe if you stopped buying John Deere Tractors then you could see the future you desire some day.

FiniteBanjo,

It was a tongue-in-cheek response to your off-topic statement. I don’t actually expect you to be an avid purchaser of John Deere Tractors.

FiniteBanjo,

I wonder if Lars Bone easter egg equivalents are hidden in their modern games and nobody has figured it out.

FiniteBanjo,

Pirate Party UK is very real and cool imo.

FiniteBanjo,

If companies see titles like Overwatch and Fortnite and want to be MORE like that, then I’m just done with anything other than Indie Games and Singleplayer at this point.

FiniteBanjo,

I feel like “The world sucks” is a poor argument for making it worse.

FiniteBanjo,

Does the contract also require a review to be made at all?

FiniteBanjo,

Idk, Kotaku isn’t exactly a good source for ethics in this industry. They list something that every single large game company does: buy studios, move talent around, close the old studios. They also talk about how he claims to champion preservation and emulation, something we all agree with.

I vote he stays.

FiniteBanjo,

Not every large game company acts this way.

I’d like you to name a large game company that hasn’t done this, I’m not aware of a single one.

This is also not what he did at all - he didn’t restructure the studios after buying them, he closed them and laid off their employees.

Incorrect, employees are being moved to different studios. I’m unaware how many, if any, are being laid off. For example, Roundhouse is being assigned to Zenimax who run Elder Scrolls Online which is admittedly actually a pretty cool game.

He’s a known liar (just a year ago he claimed Arkane will continue to polish Redfall, now Arkane Austin has closed before giving people DLC they already paid for)

A corporate hack who is in touch with what gamers want is still better than some other out of touch corporate shill, as the state of gaming exemplifies every single day. On the subject of Redfall, it’s no surprise that studio got shut down after the incredible failures at launch, they clearly were never qualified to work on the title anyways, and that’s hardly Phil Spencer’s fault.

Why are we quoting each other? I remember the comment before yours. I made it. Idiot.

FiniteBanjo,

I’m sorry. You’re right. Feel free to eat my ass.

FiniteBanjo,

Valve has also published 8 games in 10 years. They did acquire Campo Santo studios between 2016 and 2018 which lead to the delayment of Valley of the Gods because Valve put the studio’s members on other projects including Steam, Dota Underlords, and Half Life: Alyx.

FiniteBanjo,

It feels like people do it so commonly while making such weak arguments that it might be a bot trying to parse the prior comment. Feels like it doesn’t have use in any other circuimstance.

FiniteBanjo,

The lack of humility in their statement makes me think they haven’t learned anything.

FiniteBanjo,

I wish they’d remove some of the PS2 to PC ports on their store that don’t actually run anymore. Prince of Persia, Saints Row 2, etc.

FiniteBanjo,

AFAIK the game is still banned in countries where you can’t get a PSN account and also it still ships with a rootkit, so…

FiniteBanjo,

They don’t even say sorry. They did not use the words Sorry, Mistake, Problem, Wrong, or Fault. They say the approximation of “We see you’re absolutely outraged. We’ve decided to change our decisions. We are always improving.”

FiniteBanjo,

Well the guy who made GotR to get saints row working died a few years back and AFAIK the game is effectively nonfunctional for the majority of people who buy it. Those people paid for a product that they cannot use. They could go emulate the game for free and it would run better.

Plus, the owners of the title have a functioning PC version sold elsewhere than Steam. They could easily remedy this if Steam took away their listing.

FiniteBanjo,

Take-Two still receives the proceeds from the sales, depending on employment contracts probably pays royalties to the devs. Also, it’s their intellectual property so there could be consequences for leaking the source code.

FiniteBanjo, (edited )

House Rules means House Rules. They’re very easy to follow for people who don’t regularly play.

Signs aren’t considered for pairing. If you have a 5 and a 4 both hearts it isn’t a pair. That should go without saying but I wanted to be thorough.

Doubling would be easier to work with if I were making a custom interface for it, custom betting gets more convoluted.

So are we saying I might get more participants if I used a standard poker tournament scoring system?

FiniteBanjo, (edited )

That’s fair, I have taken that criticism to heart, but technically out of 50 cards the probability of getting any full house are the same statistically as any other possible combination. (In the first round)

FiniteBanjo,
