    Planescape Which Planescape faction do you most closely identify with?

    So basically BOB Dobbs EDIT: Strike that. BOB Dobbs would be fated + transcendent order (+chaositects). I didn't notice that Gradine was talking about the Ring-Givers and not the Ciphers

    What Game Publishers Are Saying About The Tariffs

    I agree. I would be more inclined to buy from a company whose response was the opposite: that they'll no longer be doing business in America. And I'm from America. I could see myself going on a trip abroad and while there purchasing from companies that are boycotting the American market, but I...

    EU Vice-president says once a video game is sold, it is owned by the customer.

    They hide their sleaze behind walls of text written in a deliberately impenetrable pseudolanguage. Wouldn't a ruling in effect mean that this particular bit of sleaze is not allowed, even if it's in the contract? Although ultimately the ruling that's really needed is one saying that all these...

    Video Games You Wish Existed

    Here's an entire category of games I'd like to see: Classic first-person shooters but with procedurally generated levels*1, thus making them effectively endless. And the same thing for other gaming categories, but I think first-person shooters would be where this would really shine *(but NO...

    Video Games You Wish Existed

    On a tangentially related note, I wonder how plausible it would be to use an LLM to generate all of Friend Computer's non-pre-scripted dialog in a game of Paranoia

    [Creative Exercise] Worlds in a word, planes in a paragraph

    Earlier today the idea popped into my head of a world where instead of a single continuous atmosphere the atmosphere consists layers of different immiscible gases. Or, if you want to go sillier, forget the atmosphere, but the sea is half oil and half water

    How could it be otherwise? Those artists aren't expressing themself. They're expressing somebody else's idea as described through a short prompt. If art really is supposed to be as much about personal expression as people here are saying then it follows that taking comissions makes you a sell...

    AN AI band has 900,000 monthly listeners

    Explain to me why, given that the prompt is human created, AI generated art couldn't express the user's beliefs, values, emotions, politics, etc. if they were sufficiently described in the prompt? I suppose one could argue that there isn't enough space in the prompt to sufficiently describe...

    AN AI band has 900,000 monthly listeners

    That's a very good point. Now that you mention it I generally gain less enjoyment from things that are unique or out of print because it feels like I have to take care of them

    AN AI band has 900,000 monthly listeners

    I agree as such, however it's important to understand that this is a matter of degrees. The prompt is a human artifact, and it likely came from an emotion and may well create an emotion in the viewer, and it requires every bit as much skill and mastery as anything created by Jackson Pollock

    AN AI band has 900,000 monthly listeners

    If we accept the implication of this is it raises the followup question: Is there any justice at all in the film and recording industries being so much more profitable and respected than live performers? A movie star does their job once with nobody watching and peddles a bunch of cheap copies...
