The first thing I do with any open world game is turn of all map/quest/achievement markers except for maybe the active selected quest. It makes gaming so much more organic. Aso when you do a replay you can still find fresh quests on your second/third plays.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2, by a wide margin. Skyrim/Morrowind are in the top 5.

Canon is ‘being allowed to exist’ solely for ASML to escape monopoly lawsuits.

This has less to do with politics and more with insurance. Parties that don’t tag along are seen as unpatriotic and will become obsolete in the very near future. Parties that do tag along sign their names on the war manifest with blood. They can’t excuse themselves later when the world condemns the inevitable bloodbath and will help hold up their decision for eternity. If Netanyahu falls, they fall with him.

Give me a source that shows the blatant and deliberate anti China rhetoric about the ‘spy balloon’.

I’m not the one making bald claims. The onus is on the one with the claims. Just show me some sources!

1 I don’t know this outlet, nor am inclined to use perceived pedigree to determine the quality of news. I’d like to see sources, not news dresses as opinions. 2 Opinion pieces that try to be credible need sources or else I will disregard them as petty trolling. The title makes a bold claim, I want sources backing up that claim. 3 that ‘source’ is also an opinion peace without any sources.

Just show me where mainstream media is deliberately bashing China. If it’s that rampant it can’t be that hard right?

I have been following media intensively. I am not saying that news about China is unbiased in the western media. I am calling out the lack of any sources in this weak ‘article’

I read this ‘article’. There are zero references towards the so called ‘China Bashing’. If it is so rampant, how hard can it be to just link to a few mainstream offenders? It alludes towards a deliberate bashing, once again without any links or merit. I am fully aware that news is hardly unbiased but come on, this is ridiculous.

I understand that authors and artists in a more general sense are very, very concerned. The problem is that this has nothing to do with AI. If I were to generate a story based on their work, I simply cannot distribute it without legal repurcusions. Doesn’t matter if I used AI or not. The problem lies, once again, at the publishers. They can churn out copy after copy using AI and abuse the artist in that regard. Something similar is happening with DC Fables and it’s creator(who in a gigachad move just threw the entire IP into the public domain).So what we need is copyright reform. Artists deserve to be paid adequately for their work and should be protected from being ‘impersonated’ by publishers using whatever means, not strictly AI. All these ban AI discussions miss the underlying point completely, being copyright reform. AI just sped up the proces 100 times.

There’s also koekwaus

Amen. Now I only need to find out how the fediverse works.
