The dirty secret to making sci-fi believable

Reply in thread

I'd argue it wasn't forgotten in the prequels. Most of the characters and plot revolves around and is supported by very large well funded organizations (Republic, Trade Federation, ect) which means the clothing and equipment they have is less likely to be worn down. The same can be seen in the original trilogy with the Empire, storm troopers and imperial ships are well polished and not "used".

Anger from voice actors as NSFW mods use AI deepfakes to replicate their voices: 'This is NOT okay'

Reply in thread

The issue really shouldn't be about the porn aspect of it, it's the fact that voice actors are basically having their likeness used without their consent, which for an average person is creepy and not cool but for them that likeness is also their means of income. AI is an awesome tool, but using it to mimic specific people without their consent is not okay.

Citizen Con 2023 - Day 2 Impressions

Reply in thread

I'm late to the conversation here but this exactly my sentiment as well. We're still years from seeing any of the things they showed us actually hit servers that we can play on and experience and then years from them being refined enough to not be a buggy mess that requires wipes every couple patches.

I'm vaguely hopeful that the SQ42 announcement will at least mean a few more resources dedicated to developing for the persistent universe as that's the gameplay I am more interested in but I am also not holding my breath. Feature complete is a pretty vague state for a studio like CI and without a set in stone release date, it doesn't mean much of anything.

Any Metroid fans on Lemmy?

I'm going to be in the same shoes soon. I just bought a switch finally and started my play through of the remaster of the first one and they really hit it out of the park with it. I hope they follow up with the other two soon.
