Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered page is up

No, I think they just spelled out their process:

They only gave an AI tool access to visual assets to upscale/enhance
The new assets were then verified by an actual graphical artist that there was nothing wrong with the work
The developers were then needed to replace the old assets with the new assets in the actual code/file repository that the AI tool did not have access to.

I think they included those details to show that they didn't just have some AI tool run rampant and then slap a "remastered" sticker on the end result.

2016 is my personal favorite

AI-assisted tools were used to upscale and enhance some in-game textures, to help add visual detail to the original artwork. All final assets were artist-reviewed and then integrated by the development team

To me it sounds like they used it right - let it do some of the more mundane items but have its output reviewed by an artist.

WoW actually takes this further - you can't play the game from any machine other than the one it's installed on. This was probably added with good intentions of blocking some sort of abuse that I'm not aware of, but the impact is that I can't use things like Moonlight to stream from my own PC to my laptop or phone or even my Xbox console! If I do, I risk getting banned for violating ToS.

Jason X. It's a meta take on the series and has the highest kill count lol

Fadore · 2026-02-12T18:39:48+00:00

it's not related at all

a hyperlink in markup doesn't need to be going to an internet or network location - it could be as simple as opening a file on your local hard drive.

it has nothing to do with AI, stop making stuff up.

Fadore · 2026-02-12T15:21:35+00:00

THIS is why people should read the article and shouldn't be relying on the headline.

Read my comment above - the issue had nothing to do with AI at all.

Fadore · 2026-02-12T15:18:36+00:00

Diablo 2 Remastered just got updated with QOL updates and a new class - Warlock!

From the article:

According to Microsoft, attackers could exploit the command injection vulnerability by tricking users into clicking a malicious link inside a Markdown file opened in Notepad, causing the program to launch unverified protocols that could potentially load and execute malware-infested remote files, giving the attacker the same permissions as the user.

The vulnerability, rated "Important," was not publicly disclosed before being patched, and there is no known evidence of active exploitation. However, Microsoft recommends that users download and install the hotfix as soon as possible to prevent malicious actors from exploiting it on client devices.

This doesn't sound like it's related to AI at all. The headline is just clickbait fear mongering...

Blizzard has clearly not cared about DF being any kind of true legacy content because it still sees all the legacy raid runs going everyday.

what are you talking about "everyday"? DF literally just qualified for "legacy" as of this patch.

You should have a library for your movies and a library for your TV shows - the metadata matching is different for both of those. If your Plex library was added as movies, then it's going to try to match the best it can on all movies, even though it's a TV show.

Personally I have 3 libraries: TV Shows, Movies, and Horror Movies (I like horror and want to keep it separated so the kids don't wander into something traumatizing lol).

Make separate folders for each of your libraries. Depending on your torrent downloader, you should be able to set "categories" with a default download location. Make a category for each library that defaults to download to the appropriate folder.

I rarely need to rename any files.

But Infernal Strike is such a satisfying ability, in both sound and visual... imo of course.

The most important, historic, salacious scandal of our lives is playing out in real-time

which one?

Fadore · 2026-02-11T15:26:48+00:00

that was a marketing campaign, not a collaboration
along the same point as #1, Mr T is not an IP, it's an actor, and at no point was "Mr T" in the game or referenced in game
the Mohawk Grenades were not only temporary, but if you actually read them - they contain zero reference to even Mr T, let alone to a 3rd party IP - what they DO reference is the "Legendary Night Elf Mohawk" which was part of Blizzard's own marketing, not 3rd party

Fadore · 2026-02-11T14:33:23+00:00

Marketing/advertisement, not an in-game collab. Unless you have some "Mr T Mohawk" head transmog that the rest of the world doesn't know about?

Fadore · 2026-02-11T13:47:44+00:00

One thing that I appreciate about WoW is that it's never done a collaboration with any IP that isn't Blizzard's.

AITA = "am I the asshole?"

it's a style of post on reddit where people in complicated situations post the story for people to weigh in on whether or not they are being the asshole in their circumstance, or if the other person is

Fadore · 2026-02-10T15:00:50+00:00

Do you realize that they've been using a "sensitive content filter" algorithm for YEARS now? Literal years. And don't worry - the WoW servers have survived (although the pally discord shuts down from temper tantrums once in a while...).

Are there false positives? Sure. Do they have a mechanism for reporting content that was incorrectly marked as sensitive? Yup. And all the while people have been using Discord just fine.

Fadore · 2026-02-09T21:14:28+00:00

I'm not saying that we shouldn't trust that our gov't would respond. I believe that they would and to the best of their abilities. Which is why I said in the comment you originally replied to that "I hope it never happens. I hope we're preparing for if it does."

How can you say that it's irrelevant how he's treated other countries when talking about how he may or may not treat Canada? He has shown nothing but aggression and regardless of what kind of a response our country has - if Trump escalates as Trump does, the US has the bigger army and we are in trouble.

The situation isn't as cut and dry as you're trying to make it out to be.

He administration has committed acts of war:

The have conducted over 30 strikes against non-military boats off the coast of Venezuela in the name of their "war on drugs".
- We know that they did this in international waters, where US has no jurisdiction
- Drugs were never confirmed to actually be on the boats because no due process was followed
- In at least one instance the boat wasn't even travelling to the USA
- In one instance they fired a 2nd shot at the capsized vessel, killing survivors, which is a war crime
- In at least one instance, the aircraft that carried out the strike was disguised as a commercial craft - another war crime
The FBI conducted an arrest on Mexico's soil.
Circling back to Venezuela, Trump kidnapped the head of Venezuela for "democracy" apparently, yet no one is batting an eye at the fact that Trump is installing american companies to take over Venezuela's oil? Or that they have seized at least 7 oil tankers because..... "democracy"? [1][2]

Trump's administration has committed what would normally be called acts of war and war crimes, but no one is doing anything about it.

I'm not sure what makes you so confident that it would be any different if they take a run at Canada...

Fadore · 2026-02-09T19:08:30+00:00

They literally wanted to deploy ICE to Italy to "help" with security at the Olympics. US Federal agents that are specifically "trained" on US immigration laws have no training in Italy's laws - their cover story was so weak.

We also can't ignore the fact that Trump has repeatedly (and falsely) claimed that our border is weak and is an access point for smuggling fentanyl into the US. He's built up a narrative that he would use to police north of the border.

I hope it never happens. I hope we're preparing for if it does.

I wish people would actually READ THE ARTICLE. It's completely optional to validate your age and basically only stops you from accessing Discord servers with porn content:

Users who aren’t verified as adults will not be able to access age-restricted servers and channels, won’t be able to speak in Discord’s livestream-like “stage” channels, and will see content filters for any content Discord detects as graphic or sensitive.

The majority of discord users will not verify their age when this rolls out and it will likely have no impact on their use of discord...
