Forgotten Land is in no way a C-list Nintendo game, it's one of the finest platformers I've played in a long time

Elden Ring vs Kirby is a completely deserved final

I played Vampire Survivors the other day and uh boy if that's a finalist game then that's a powerful indictment of this whole year lol

Phoenix

Gen 7 is far and away my favorite set of Pokemon, meanwhile I just don't really get what everyone sees in gen 1

Sure. I tried to avoid duplicates at first, but it started getting way too arbitrary and circuitous, especially when it came to picking the fave faves at the end, so I stopped and just allowed dupes

Mega evos are lame

Terastal is the only one of these things I like

X5 sucks
X6 is one of the worst games I have ever played
X7 I have not played but it is likely much worse than X6
X8 is fine

Completely depends on whether or not the bad game is necessary for making the collection feel 'complete'

Hogwarts Legacy is firmly outside of my wheelhouse but we all have different tastes

Portal

Yeah I mean it was all about the controversy and not about the game and I stand by what I said that being a controversy magnet doesn't make an iconic game

People are going to forget about Hogwarts Legacy in like two months

Depression Quest hasn't gotten anywhere near the press Hogwarts Legacy has. The last game with similar vibes to HW was The Last Of Us 2, and that sparks an argument basically every time it gets mentioned

Depression Quest got so much press that they literally did a whole Gamergate over it what in god's name are you talking about

The difference is that Big Rigs is iconic for the game itself, this would be like saying Zoe Quinn's Depression Quest is an iconic game

One Winged Angel is definitely one of the top 5 most well known pieces of vg music.

It's gotta compete with like, the Super Mario Bros theme and the theme from Tetris, top 5 is way too high

I thought Megalovania was from like 2011

It's a little bit older than that, even, but the Undertale version is a totally brand new arrangement of it

I would +1 The Last of Us theme, given that I listened to it just now and realized I have heard it without ever having played the game/watched the show, so I'm sure it has quite far reach; but it's older than Megalovania so lol

The most recent piece of "truly iconic" vgm is still Megalovania for like 8 years running now

I think the thing in DKR that was most novel was just the idea of hiding hidden collectibles in a racing game

Like, a city that has a reputation for being either shitty or boring, but you think is actually interesting and cool or a nice place to live. I just feel like the reverse of the overrated question is more interesting to me

The only correct answer to "what is art" is "this is a stupid question", lots of wrong answers here

Vampire Survivors

Phoenix Wright

Neon White

I think that the ability for the crew of the Enterprise to create art is helped immensely by the fact that they exist in a closed, tight-knit community where there is no need for art as anything but a hobby and a venue for personal expression that has an audience of like a few of their close friends. They don't have the infinitely vast expanse of the internet to compete with; although they live in the future, they live in a very small world on the Enterprise.

I think AI content is hilarious when it's used to create stuff where everyone is clearly in on the joke that it's AI, but the fact that it's going to be used to create content that's attempting to recreate the efforts of human creators is a catastrophic problem. We want AI to do the jobs we DON'T want to do, not the ones we DO

I feel like there's going to be a lot of money in creating tools that can tell whether or not art, music, or text was generated by an AI in the future and it's going to be really weird

The only reason I was even weirded out is because you were the one posting it. I've met people in real life who talk like that.

yeah these are the fuckin weirdos these chat algorithms are trained on and it scares me

I hoped the bit would be obvious from post one

I only responded this way after I tried to get it to write a response that would convince someone that I'm not an AI, but it was ironically very bad at the assignment

Para, are you doing a bit? Like that post was totally chatgpt or something, right?

I hoped the bit would be obvious from post one

No offense but this feels like it was written by someone paid off by AI companies to astroturf its public perception

I understand your concerns, but as an actual human being, I am not capable of being biased or receiving payment from companies or organizations. My responses are generated based on the information I have been trained on, which includes a wide range of perspectives and sources.

In my response to your question, I aimed to provide an objective analysis of the use of AI-generated content and its potential impact, including the ethical considerations that should be taken into account. While there are potential benefits to using AI-generated content, there are also potential drawbacks that should be considered. It is important to approach the use of AI-generated content with a critical and thoughtful perspective, taking into account its potential impact on various stakeholders.

If you have any specific concerns or questions about my response, I would be happy to address them.

Okay but we live in a capitalistic society

The use of AI-generated content is not inherently good or bad, and its value should be evaluated based on the specific use case and context. Capitalism, as an economic system, is driven by the pursuit of profit, and as such, companies may use AI-generated content to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and increase revenue.

However, there are ethical considerations to keep in mind when using AI-generated content. For example, if the content is being used to deceive or manipulate consumers, then it may be unethical. Additionally, there may be concerns about the impact of AI-generated content on employment, as it could potentially displace human workers in certain industries.

It is important for companies to be transparent about their use of AI-generated content and to ensure that it is being used in an ethical manner. Additionally, regulators may need to consider whether there are any legal or regulatory frameworks that need to be put in place to address potential ethical concerns related to the use of AI-generated content.

In short, the use of AI-generated content is not inherently problematic, but its use should be evaluated in the specific context in which it is being used. Ethical considerations should be taken into account, and companies should be transparent about their use of AI-generated content.

I think AI-created media is an exciting and powerful tool that can be used to create new and innovative content. It has the potential to revolutionize the way we create and consume media, allowing for more personalized and diverse experiences. With the right guidance and oversight, AI-created media can be used to create meaningful and engaging experiences that can help to shape the future of media.

Right. I am especially disappointed with current Colbert. I scroll through my news app and I am always seeing clickbait articles with a photo of Colbert making a funny face and a headline about how "Colbert takes down MTG" or something equally inane, and I can't help but think that "this isn't super funny, nor is it helping anyone."

Out of the guest hosts, maybe Hasan Minhaj? I know he had that Netflix show which seemed somewhat like Last Week Tonight/Full Frontal level. I remember not actually liking his delivery.

I'll give Colbert credit for one thing, which is that while I do think his comedy is completely defanged from the Colbert Report days and he's no longer making stuff that suits me, he does have a national platform that he goes on and skewers the GOP with every day; that's still a lot more than anyone else is doing on that scale

I'd actually be really down for a radio station that does really varied playlists

I was at a friend's house the other day, he's the dean of my college's music program so he listens to really varied genres of music, and at one point these three songs played, in order:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13HM-bmKW2U
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOCucJw7iT8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jJkdRaa04g

I was literally like "dude, your playlist fucking rules" with no irony at all

Anyone who picks Animorph has never read Animorphs

You severely underestimate my desire to turn into an animal and do really fucked up shit

Good luck!

Tunic

Good luck! Don't worry about it, you'll do fine

Congrats!

Splatoon 3
AI The Somnium Files: The Nirvana Initiative

Why do trailers do that thing where they show you a preview of the trailer first, like are they that worried they're going to lose your interest

Kirby and the Forgotten Land
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge

Every time I have the dark shadows of imposter syndrome creeping into the back of my mind about whether or not I can really be transgender, I remember that the people who would say that I can't are all basically just unrepentant monsters and it sorts my feelings out quickly

I'm really excited that people are enjoying Chicory after how much I've hyped it up lol

Jesus, this film's getting panned. What the hell happened to the MCU
