That's not the spot where you listen from.

No. No, they can't. This shit still takes lots and lots of training data.

It's just like any job. You can't just fully fake something in one day. At best, you might get 60% of the way there, maybe 80% after adding on some generic experience. But, you're not going to fully mimic anything without lots of training and experience.

I would disagree with the choice of words here, yes their stories are often not super deep or intricate, but I do believe they are extremely interesting, specifically because they are presented in such an appealing way.

I'm not talking about Supergiant as a whole. Bastion and Transistor had great stories. It's just that, afterwards, they started to lose their ability to tell an impactful story, and dived head-first into worldbuilding (especially Pyre) and character development. Those sort of things are good to have, but not as the main focus of the story.

In Bastion and Transistor, worlds were falling apart. In Hades, some dude was pissy about his father and figured out who his real mother. <Insert Star Wars "family" meme here>

They did trade-off good, impactful stories for tight, action-packed gameplay. Neither Pyre's nor Hades' core stories have been that interesting, despite the excellent voice acting, music, and gameplay.

The fact that they are doing a sequel to Hades immediately suggests that the trend is going to continue, because that's where the money's at. It's a rather risk-adverse decision.

I see that a lot of the cops in the background aren't adhering to the full dress code.

They are proud members of the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party. Getting thrown under the bus and being surprised about it (or not) is their MO.

Stop playing AAA games. They are just going to burn you in the end, or the beginning, usually.

Internet Archive is also doing this with web pages, sooo...

Try again, 404 Journalism Not Found.

Ahhh, yes, let's dig up events from 70 years ago as justification for their current behavior!

Best zombie movie ever made.

The promise copyright holders were supposed to uphold was that the public received it as public domain when the copyright ended. How the fuck can you receive anything as public domain when the media is completely lost after only 10% of the duration of the copyright?

This is just another obvious sign that the whole copyright system is completely broken. If copyright holders won't retain the media long enough for the copyright to expire, and hold up their end of the bargain, then we have no obligation to uphold their copyright.

I’d say that’s about 10-15 years too late, but as a total outsider who’s not at all familiar with the situation, it looks like his realization and action on it was sincere.

2009 is better than realizing it in 2016. The GOP took the Tea Party and funneled all of that hate and racism over Obama and his "tan suits" into something much worse.
