God that's so disappointing.

Dread was some of their finest work of all time and actually had me pretty excited for Prime 4. I haven't played it yet, but reactions to MP4 have been... quite poor.

Is it really that bad? I know critics are prone to hyperbole, but even the regular people YouTube reviews have been pretty scathing.

I'm as big of an AI hater as anyone, but if you're going to use it, this is pretty much the way you do so.

None of the results end up in the final product, concept art is notoriously different from final results in almost all projects, and having a concept artist spit out 30 basic AI concepts in a day and then pick 2 or 3 of them to manually iterate further on is, actually, streamlining their work flow without major upset and without completely replacing the artist in question.

Would I rather they aren't using Gen-AI at all? Yeah, absolutely, I think it is one of the great evils of the modern world. But if you do insist on using it within the creative process, this is one of the least upsetting and most sensible ways I can think of doing so. I don't see this as problematic beyond the fact that Larian is supporting AI companies by doing so.

In addition: at some unknown, future time of its choosing, it will expand and consume the earth.

Learned about this for the first time earlier today watching Mortismal's Divinity recap videos lol

I did know about Divine Divinity (which, fun fact, canonically features Lucian the Divine as your player character) but Dragon Commander completely missed my radar.

We've had third parties of various types for centuries, it has become a financial impossibility for third parties to succeed in modern America.

He's already been successfully impeached twice. Only president in American history to ever manage to rack up two of them, in fact.

Unfortunately, once successfully impeached, it is up to Congress and the Supreme Court to then do something about it.

I had an outright argument with one of my own coworkers about this very subject less than six months ago. Even with all of the insane bullshit going on outside today people still just refuse to look up and read any sort of information for themselves.
