There definitely is some kind of ARG-type stuff going on here tho. The timer ends on the planned release date of HL2, there’s a link on the site to an email address, “truthorconsequences@blackmesa.com”, and they literally said they had some easter web type stuff hidden on the site to be decided. This is a real company, but I’m very excited to see what happens tonight
I would’ve upvoted if this were a shitposting sub, but here I can’t tell if you’re serious and you just sound like a 12 year old boy cx
When I made that comment the post had the wrong video linked
Understandable🐕that definitely is a problem, I wasn’t sure what op was talking about since the post seems to have the wrong video attached
If you think gamers are too positive you’ve never played an online game in you life cx
Was just about to comment this, my DMs are open if someone wants to friend me on steam and get invited :3
The front few pages of roblox have consistently had blatant porn games on them since 2012, they literally never even try to win lol
lemmy.blahaj.zone is in shambles
Not literally, I’d never fuck a cis person, I only date normal people xp
Fuck you too asswipe :3
Oop I didn’t mean to say overpay lmao, I know that’s not the case.
I honestly had no idea the games industry was so lucrative, I assumed they made less money than movies but that’s not even on the list. That’s extra evil, I knew they have rich execs ofc but I didn’t know just how badly distributed that wealth was. Maybe they make more profit bc of how horribly they treat everyone Idk, or maybe bc there aren’t as many celebrities with massive paychecks as there are in Hollywood.
You’re right, I thought it wasn’t a very profitable industry but it’s just that publishers are evil and choose not to pay studios enough or treat them like people. Nvm I hope AI bullshit doesn’t end up in these games (my hypothetical magical christmasland scenario of devs working less and not being laid off by it wouldn’t be too bad in my book but that’s not at all likely)
Honestly, if there’s ways that machine learning and the like can make AAA game development cheaper or faster I’m all for it, and I’m pretty against most use of ML in art. Modern AAA games aren’t economically viable. You have to overwork and underpay the shit out of developers to make your average AAA game, and even with that they still nickel and dime users for all they’re worth. The obvious solution is obviously to stop paying execs so much and stop endlessly, pointlessly pursuing better graphics (ie more polygons and shaders and RTX), but that’s not gonna happen any time soon bc capitalism and shit. Theoretically ML can be used in a way that doesn’t result in people being laid off and instead just reduces the workload and allows more to be done in less time, while everyone gets paid more. It certainly couldn’t make EA games any more generic or sloppy than they already are. That would be perfectly fine imo, but chances are they’ll just lay off half their devs and voice actors and shit, again bc capitalism and shit.
Tldr AAA game devs could use ML to make AAA development more ethical and economical, but probably won’t be bc that’d make less money for the shareholders :c
Someone’s never weaved a Sigourney smh
Yar Har Har 🏴☠️🗡️
The prophets are gonna love this!
It’s been a little terrifying seeing a shit ton of supposed liberals acting like trump supporters and just general assholes the last couple weeks. Calling anyone who disagrees with them or questions anything about biden fascists, going out of their way to say hurtful ableist shit, calling pro Palestinian protestors Russian plants (one person even calling for them to be executed), chanting “FOUR MORE YEARS!” whenever Israeli genocide is mentioned, lots of really MAGA-type shit. Besides the last thing though, I’ve hardly seen any of this irl. I’ve just assumed liberals have taking a sharp right turn into reactionary shit, but maybe some/a lot of it is a conservative psyop or something. Idk, I still think it’s mostly authentic unless proven otherwise, but if I were a hate group on 4chan or a russian troll farm trying to make leftists not wanna vote for democrats I’d be doing exactly this
Idk I can’t remember anyone in Harry Potter using it as a straight up slur, the worst I can think of is some people use it in a rude way like “The Blacks” or “The Gays”. I haven’t read them in a long time tho, I just remember mudblood being a slur and muggle being the accepted term, even by muggleborn magic users
Not a slur, you’re thinking of mudblood
This site is actually for a real company that has the same name and logo, but yea there’s some fun stuff going on here that I wanna see figured out
