Thanks Youtube, I hate it. Like I can see some arguments for taking away the view counter, even if I think it's a bad decision. But the date the video was uploaded? Who does that even help? I guess Youtubers will either need to start properly dating their videos or we'll just have to use context clues to figure out when a video was uploaded.

This actually isn't a terrible use of an LLM. It's actually kind of refreshing to see a news story about a beneficial use of it in a very specific context.

Well, the leopards are eating good again.

Kind of surprised it took this long to be honest. Also a little surprised it's a patent lawsuit, but then again it might be easier to prove infringement on a gameplay concept you have patented rather than copyright.

Given what the modding community has been able to come up with without official tools, I'm looking forward to the mods that are going to come out after the next patch.

This feels like a trailer for a live-service Dragon Age spinoff, rather than the next main Dragon Age game.

Child labor is child labor. It doesn't matter what "skills" the kids are learning.

Good. This was a terrible idea. Even setting aside all the privacy concerns, which are numerous, how well would this have even worked? Trusting algorithms to guess the age of users was only going to result in a ton of people not being able to play a game because the algorithm decided they look like twelve-year olds.

Yeah, besides the PSSR feature, I'm struggling to see the point in upgrading to this if you already have a PS5. It feels like Sony and Microsoft are just going with plans they made at the start of the generation when they assumed they would need a mid-gen refresh. But with the massive shortages it doesn't really feel like we're at the kind of midpoint that calls for a console refresh.

So, did that whole "late discovery" thing just not happen with Cyberpunk? Because I just have a hard time imagining CDPR looking at the state that game launched in and thinking that they'd made a game that was basically perfect. I mean, at least they learned in time for Phantom Liberty's release, I guess.

It's a shame we're not getting more Baldur's Gate from Larian, but it's completely understandable. All the people they worked with and trusted at WOTC have probably been laid off and Hasbro is probably desperate to replicate BG3's success. There's no way they'd be given the same creative freedom they had when they were originally working on BG3. Looking forward to whatever they put out next.

At this point it feels like a Bloodborne remake that gets ported to PC is more likely than Bloodborne itself ever getting an official PC port.
