The game looks like a blast, but seeing how Bethesda treated Mick Gordon who did music for the previous two, their general behavior and the fact the whole thing is owned by Microsoft... I just can't in good conscience give them any money or time/attention.
The whole em dash argument is bullshit propagated by LinkedIn lunatics with zero knowledge of AI, writing or typography.
Different types of dashes/hyphens have different uses. People who take care of their copy and understand the nuances of punctuation use em dashes regularly. People who are in a rush, typing on phones or simply who don't know any better, put the same en dash everywhere.
Em dashes is one of the things that LLMs actually do right for a change. Calling text with em dashes weird, unnatural or ai generated is like making fun of someone for using proper grammar or hygiene.
That "finite and rivalrous" is a definition that sprung up quite recently and I don't know if I agree with it. How would one "steal a kiss" if it was a finite resource.
Also while stealing is not always "punishable by law", it can still be classified as wrongdoing. As an artist I find all forms of plagiarism to equate to stealing and while they won't land you behind bars, they may get you a status of persona non grata with other creatives.
It's transformative. You are creating something new that did not exist before. At the very least this will fall under fair use, but your intent will dictate what it ends up being.
Ie: is I take Bugs Bunny's head and out it on Daffy Duck's body - I may be doing it as a commentary on WB cartoons, or pop culture in general. That's ok.
If I try to launch my own Looney Toons cartoon with this new hybrid character - that's stealing and WB lawyers will be all over any money I may make.
Done it and reshared a lot back when the campaign started. Can't believe the "gamerzzz" are so freaking lazy to reach the needed goal. The campaign makes it such an easy step be step process...
Be ready to pay up (premium, boosts, ads) or don't count on achieving anything. Also, if you gave them money once - you're labeled as a mark - and if you stop paying you will be punished by the algorithm until you're ready to pony up again.
Did nobody mention Nietzsche? Nazi worldview was largely inspired by twisting out cherry picking concepts from his works. The criticism of Christian religions idealizing the meek and looking back towards ancient Rome and Greece for strong, powerful, heroic characters and gods. The ideas of existence of superior and inferior humans. Etc.
Same! Just started Judgement on the Deck. Continuing Persona 3 Re and Logiart Grimoire. Also got back into Diablo 4, but enjoy that on big PC more (neither sharp 40fps nor fsr blurry 60fps quite hit the spot on Deck)
Imagine you are a smoker and the addiction makes it impossible for you to quit. Then one day nobody will sell you a cigarette or let you bum one off them.
Count your blessings and move on.
Reddit Karma ain't worth shit. Imaginary Internet points.
Lol, must be a headache for the devs maintaining it, but from the end user perspective it is way more pleasant of an experience than epic, origin, gog, ubi and whatever else is out there.
A "Markup Language" to be precise. HyperText Markup Language.
Yea my parties are the best parties, too.
