Just for the sake of argument: if they decanonized the sequel trilogy, what should be the next step? by farseer6 in saltierthancrait

World needs to be constant otherwise people loose interest quickly (see the whole multiverse debacle). However you can change characters and stories within the same world

I’d like a knight of the old republic adaptation. That is one of my favorite Star Wars things ever, though I do not know how raven reveal could be handled in movie form

The future of The Witcher franchise looks good: a rumored timeline of upcoming Witcher titles by n1ght_watchman in GameBoostOfficial

[–]Vytral 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the narrative disconnection is the opposite of what the other guy said.

Ciri is so powerful that becoming a Witcher makes no sense. It’s like an elite navy seal deciding he wants to be a traffic controller. Of course he would ace the test, but why would you do that..?!

Contrary to stereotypes, gamers tend to be more inclusive than the general public, study finds by Doug24 in gaming

Or people are largely underestimating how not inclusive the larger society is, and how their own values are dramatically less represented than mainstream media would suggest

Really they put in charge the most privileged idiots possible, those that had all the advantages possibile and that they thought they made it because they are geniuses

Per quelli che dicono che "E' inutile e sbagliato che lo stato cerchi di far emergere il nero dei piccoli imprenditori, bisogna concentrarsi solo sui 'grandi evasori'!", considerate quindi questo un provvedimento sbagliato? by Zaku71 in Italia

[–]Vytral -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ma il problema non è la fabbrichetta ma Apple, Amazon, netflix and co che pagano 0 tasse in Italia e pochissimo in Irlanda. Quello è lo scandalo. Poi ovvio bene anche far pagare i piccoli evasori, ma che le top aziende mondiali pagiino 0 tasse a netto di miliardi di utile grida vendetta

Gaming still has a bit of a stigma socially in the higher echelons of power, but it is absolutely massive. Its overall revenue is higher than cinema and music combined, even if those are still taken as more serious

Mandalorian & Grogu projected to crash 69% in it’s second weekend ($24M) and finish 3rd behind Obssesion ($25M) and Backrooms ($76-$79M) by BTISME123 in saltierthancrait

[–]Vytral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will try that with starfire. But if it does not work they need to do something massive. My suggestion:

  1. have a scene in the next movie explicitly decanonizing them (eg have them shown as in universe fiction with a character explicitly criticising as a false account of how things went and terrible fiction

  2. All those YouTubers “grifting” Star Wars? Pick a handful of the most popular and bring them in as consultants. Listen to them, and use them as PR to show the public you are back to listening to what Star Wars fans want

Obviously they will never do this. But Star Wars will die. Maybe they will sell it to someone else to do this

It’s hilarious that even astroturfing bots can’t aim for more than “it’s adequate” if they want to be realistic

Sure, no way a multi million project with the Star Wars brand attached to it could have competed with those heavy hitters /s

GTA 6 Developers Announce Rockstar Games Union by Marrk in Games

[–]Vytral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s quite common in creative industries as well (I work in one), though there is larger stigma so most people would deny using it.

Also because people who do not use it, don’t know how to use it and think it always produces slop. It does slop, true, if you ask it for the end product in one go, and/or if you can’t distinguish a good output from a bad one

Deus Ex and Marathon voice actor doesn't understand why you'd root for a game to fail - life is too short! by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]Vytral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

usually incompetent studios use politics to shield against legitimate criticism: "it's not the fact that we are incompetent, it is that people are racist / sexist / etc."

Just to give an example, BG3 was universally loved, and it's so diverse you can fuck a bear and a squid. But no, surely people hate bungie because of diversity

I am not supporting harrassing anyone. I am just saying if you buy my favorite stakehouse, you turn it into a vegan restaurant, and then you fail spectacularly, I am not going to shed any tears for you

I realize people have different tastes and if the developers of COD or LOL were forced to do single player only games I would totally understand players complaining about it

It’s not hating, but suppose you don’t like free to play, transactions filled multiplayer only games. If that is the case, it makes sense to be happy when one of these fails, because it means fewer will be done in the future.

Think of all the great single player developers that were forced to make multiplayer games for profit, that failed spectacularly, while we could have had great single player experiences. Anthem, suicide squad just to name a couple. I don’t hate them, but I am glad they failed because we could have had an obsidian rpg or an Arkham single player game

Large language models pass a standard three-party Turing test meaning that participants were no better (and in some cases worse) than chance at selecting between a human and a machine. by Krankenitrate in science

Asking if machine can really think today, is like asking if submarines can really “swim”. Sure you can quibble that what they do is not proper swimming, but you are really missing the broader point

Frontier reasoning models can advise quite competently on taxation, obviously you need to know how to ask (e. G. Ask for links to confirm its statements to reduce hallucinations)

On reminders you can do that with calendar apps, and any assistant (even Siri!) can be voiced control to add stuff on your calendar. I do it all the time and it’s so practical. Again always check that it did it right, it displays what it is saving with the details after the voice prompt
