Re: Wait, 'Busted' Member Is The Singer Of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds' Opening?

TheSaneInsanity

I can see the things you're doin' and you think that I'm naive
But when I get the goods on you, she'll finally believe
Well, she says it's all just drama, but every bubble's got to pop
She's gonna see just what you're doin'
And then you're finally gonna have to stop

Don't think you're gonna win this time
'Cause you better believe I'm gonna drop a dime on you
I'll get ya (Yeah), I'll get ya (Yeah)

And when I do, you're gonna be busted (Busted!)
I don't wanna put the hurt on you
But you better believe me
When I tell you that I finally got the dirt on you
You're busted (Busted!)
Yeah, she's finally gonna see your lie
This is how it's gonna be
When she finds out that I was always right
You're busted!

There's a new cop on the beat
And I'm bringin' down the heat
My eyes are wise to all your lies
'Cause you're not that discreet

And I don't care what you've heard
'Cause there's one six-letter word
It's gonna set me free
Gonna set me free
It starts with a B
Starts with a B

It goes B-U-S-T-E-D, you are busted (Busted!)
I don't wanna put the hurt on you
But you better believe me
When I tell you that I finally got the dirt on you (I'll get ya)
You're busted (Don't think you're gonna win this time)
Yeah, she's finally gonna see your lie (Drop a dime on you)
This is how it's gonna be
When she finds out that I was always right (I'll get ya, I'll get ya)
You're busted!

Re: Level-5 CEO Sees AI As 'Tool For Communication And Efficiency Improvement'

TheSaneInsanity

AI is scientifically shown to be extremely persuasive, to the point of inducing extreme delusions in people of all intelligence levels. So I think that communication is a natural use, if not dangerously reckless. Things become so easy to explain that less time is wasted.

That is unless your employee becomes part of an AI cult... that may be bad for business.

Here are some resources on this to learn from.

Re: Reaction: Donkey Kong Bananza Has Instantly Become My Most Anticipated Game Of 2025

TheSaneInsanity

I wish I could say I wasn't hyped for this game because of the wonky ponytail Pauline has. NINTENDO HAIR DOESN'T SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STRAND WHILE ALSO ABLE TO HANG BELOW. IT's DEFYING GRAVITY, WHILE ALSO BEING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HEAD, THERES ALSO HAIR BELOW IT FOR SOME REASON?!?!?!?!?! IT WOULD ALSO BE AN AWFUL HAIR CHOICE IF IT REALLY DID EXIST.

but no

This game is wonderful.

Re: Another Atelier Game Is Coming To Switch This September, Here's A "First Look"

TheSaneInsanity

they're really jacking up the appeal to nerds. Cat ears, 2000s edgy belts combined with harness/overalls? a crop top bra thing, and those things I mistook for actual blimps when I saw atelier ryza(edit it was acutally yumia) upside down... are their sales down or something?

Yes I really did mistake that artwork of atelier ryza for artwork of blimps. and it was a thumbnail on nintendolife. Let me go get it https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2025/03/atelier-yumias-strong-start-makes-it-the-fastest-selling-game-in-series-history

I somehow was blinded to her face and her legs. that combined with being in the sky and missing both arms and with the bag looking like a basket at the back of the "airship" made me very confused until I clicked on the low resolution thumbnail and realized that was an anime girl.

I thought it was a neat design for an RPG airship... until I realized what I had been staring at. To think I was seriously analyzing the design elements that looked cool and somehow didn't see the face.

Re: Feature: "You've Gotta Make It More Sexy" - Final Fantasy & Persona Voice Actors Have Made A Dating Sim For Everyone

TheSaneInsanity

@nintendolife That's a very non- sequitur tagline, it's already attracting alot of unproductive discussion. And ultimately I think that it's making the discussion negative and entirely unrelated to the game, which shouldn't be happening. AI is only by name mentioned twice in the article.

Other more productive taglines could include:
we had as many as 25 writers at a certain point.
We had a lot of people who were cast against type
"That's just not the way life turns out."

Re: Fortnite Turns To The Dark Side With New AI-Generated Darth Vader Chats

TheSaneInsanity

@Bigmanfan Well either way it would be disrespectful to the dead to never use his voice as he wanted.
"The song is ended but the melody lingers on."
It's also disrespectful to the dead to use his voice with AI because of the connotations of AI, practical graverobbing. We all remember Vader well enough
"Those who touch our lives stay in our hearts forever"

I think in this case, they shouldn't have let his voice loose based on an LLM, because those things are easily fooled, and it's more disrespectful for his voice to be used improperly.

Re: Fortnite Turns To The Dark Side With New AI-Generated Darth Vader Chats

TheSaneInsanity

@Splash_Woman I did do some light research on the topic and edited my comment with links to the articles, that were published before the fortnite collaboration.

"According to Vanity Fair, James Earl Jones signed over the rights to Lucasfilm in 2022 to recreate his voice via artificial intelligence thanks to AI innovation by Ukrainian tech start-up Respeecher.

Matthew Wood—the supervising sound editor at Lucasfilm who had previously recorded Jones’ voice for the role—told Vanity Fair in 2022 that he knew Jones was close to retiring from voicing Darth Vader and presented the actor with Respeecher’s work."

Re: Fortnite Turns To The Dark Side With New AI-Generated Darth Vader Chats

TheSaneInsanity

@Splash_Woman weren't AI voices already a thing by then? I think he'd be fully aware that his voice would be used that way.

According to this article, that was the reason he signed his voice away at all, this is from september of 2024, which is before this fortnite collaboration
It's also in this article too:

Edit: idk what James-Earl thought of homophobia, but screw homophobia anyway

Re: Nintendo Lawyer Breaks Down What Makes An Emulator Illegal

TheSaneInsanity

I agree with 2 of the points nintendo makes here. Except for the security keys, because emulating security keys is part of making a system work. if the user takes the security key out of the device to insert into the emulator, there should be no problem. It's the equivalent of exchanging parts to a new location. I'm not here to argue if the user is doing something bad by copying or moving the key.

I think the game preservationists should act more like that big library in europe that stores a single copy of each old book for people to read. instead of massive piracy, and everybody getting a free copy just in case. That isn't necessary to make old games playable.
