Re: Soapbox: "Go Outside, Get Some Fresh Air" - Why Won't Outmoded Gamer Stereotypes Die?

Ultimapunch

To be honest though gamers actually do need to go outside and get some fresh air. Feelings of Isolation and loneliness are at an all time high. And the rise in those feelings just happens to coincide with the rise of gaming and the internet. That's not a mere coincidence. People gotta go out and interact with other people more. In the real world. Shared love of games can even be a catalyst for making new friends. But people gotta go out and make it happen. Gaming is a fun hobby but like anything it still has to be engaged with in a healthy way.

I think with the grunts and wahoos he sounds pretty good. I still think it sounds really off when he says actual words though. But he's the voice until Nintendo replaces him someday. He's not bad and Wonder was still a fantastic game. I'm sure I'll get more used to it as time goes on. But Martinet will always be the OG and will always have my heart.

Re: Square Enix To Be "Aggressive In Applying" AI Going Forwards

Ultimapunch

I'm genuinely curious. Is any living human actually looking forward to art being produced by AI? Art is one of the most important connections humans have with each other. And it's an incredibly important and fulfilling way to communicate with each other. If AI is where movies, books, and video games come from in the future. Who will actually even want to consume that "content?"
