Like what?

There’s more than one argument against generative AI being used in games, and they don’t all apply to proc gen content. It’s an apples to oranges comparison in most cases.

From the article:

Danilov posited that the mistake was either the work of a “careless translator taking shortcuts”, or it was “done by someone on the dev/publisher side who couldn’t be arsed sending last-minute missing lines for translation and decided to throw them in a random LLM without oversight”.

Handong Ryu, who handled the Korean translation for the game, replied: "I was responsible for translating the vast majority of the Korean version of The Alters. Unfortunately, the same issue exists in the Korean version as well, which makes it more likely that the second scenario you mentioned is closer to the truth.

Sounds like this text was either added late in development or simply overlooked until after the last set of translation work had been completed, so the devs decided to let an LLM do it rather than getting billed for another batch of localisation.

Very dumb, especially as this puts them in direct violation of the Steam AI disclosure policy, but given the context I guess they figured no one would notice.

Specifically the hops used to flavour beer are a potent herbal sleep aid.

So this will affect Reddit and Lemmy too, presumably?

I don’t think I’ve ever used a fake name to order anything online.

I can understand doing it for something potentially embarrassing or compromising, but until I saw this post it never even crossed my mind that there might be people that do it as a matter of course.

Sadly (at the time of writing) you’re just getting downvoted, because Lemmy’s hateboner for Nintendo is more important than context

Brian and Charles.

The vibes are similar to Napoleon Dynamite, but the setting is rural Britain instead.

Heartfelt, kooky, a little bit bleak but ultimately feel-good.

I’m sure there are lots of examples for me, but I guess one that comes to mind is 007: The World Is Not Enough for PS1.

Reading/hearing about it as an adult, not only is it seen as a poor follow up to Goldeneye, but also the PS1 version is the worse of the two releases, with the general consensus being that the N64 version is better.

Back in the day, though, I didn’t know any better and I loved it. I expect most people have games like that.

I think people are forgetting just how tiny the Switch launch lineup was.

• 1-2-Switch
• Breath of the Wild
• Snipperclips

That was about it. There was a reason eshop shovelware title Vroom in the Night Sky somehow got tons of coverage from major outlets and gaming YouTubers: there was almost literally nothing else to play for weeks.

Congrats on missing the point and making it about yourself instead

Because hours of play has no direct relationship with completion. Playing for 100+ hours doesn’t mean you’ve finished the game.

It’s well known that video games today are disposable pieces of slop.

Kicking off an article with such a provably incorrect and inflammatory statement is certainly a choice.

I tried playing Fire Warrior a couple of years ago - it’s dreadful. Reviewed poorly at the time and hasn’t aged well.

Saying it’s a basic, linear FPS and shouldn’t be judged against genre-(re)defining greats is one thing, but even on those terms it stinks.

Right? If it still works then it still works.

If the article was talking about anything other than tech/software, we’d be praising its longevity.

Maybe they’re still mad that the first game was on Google Stadia?

Also conveniently means their newly price-bumped first party games will have an easier time competing with cheaper indies. Probably just a coincidence, right?

A big part of the problem is that social media platforms encourage and amplify hateful content.

People are literally profiting from their hate and harassment of game developers (and have the hubris to complain about ‘woke grifters’) but platforms like YouTube just throw up their hands and pretend it’s nothing to do with them.

I just use the default iOS 18 wallpaper and lock screen - no changes, no extra widgets.

But, again, this is physically impossible with an actual cartridge. The fact it worked with digital copies was just a loophole that they have now closed, surely?
