What a week, huh

Seemingly the September will be much harder than initially planned. Every week brings some new very random stuff to sort out. I hope you're doing better, chat.

Yeah 😌

It's so messed up to hire freelancers in this AI era. They can do some, they can do a few bits, but then BOOM: you have a thing they pretend is now closer to the final look! (Also have a hidden OpenAI watermark)

https://openai.com/research/verify/ — you can easily check it here. These are not for "AI look", that's exactly for "was made by open AI, then they tried to cover it up".

Learn GDScript From Zero free interactive course has been updated.

Over the past months we've rewritten the app in Godot 4 and made many changes along the way behind the scenes. This allowed us to fix many issues and we made the lessons and exercises better based on the feedback we got here on Reddit, on Discord, and the bug reports from the issue tracker.

People are actively discussing that RDR2 animations are often more complex, emotional, and with fully interactive head, shoulders, and arms movements. While shown GTA VI sequences are way more stiff.

And oddly enough, it's not a technical limitation but rather a body language thing.

Despite there's a semi-abandoned Steam Audio plugin for Godot 4.x, someone also made a custom one, but it's probably too complex for 99% of people to actually set it up:

Yes, I always used dashes, that's not "AI thing", I used to use lists to compare items and improve the context for the readers.

Then AI stole it from me. I was literally banned from using any of that in work emails last year "otherwise it will be considered AI". So I've had to write wrong to "look like a genuine person".

Hello, based department?

The most popular PS3 emulator team believes that SlopVidia DLSlop5 doesn't belong here.

Hello, dafaque department?

- Censorship
- Data altering
- Inflicted narratives

Nexus mods is not "serving people" as Steam DB founders pretend. Unfortunately. The history of bans, censorship, and odd partnerships is broad.

I have the funniest story to tell: Sony argues ‘reasonable consumers would not be misled’ into believing they own digital games.

Several folks from The US started a legal action against them. PlayStation insisted that: a reasonable person would never think that BUY, Purchase, and other buttons mean owning a game.

Otherwise only one of three would be able to buy Resident Evil Requiem! On February 14, 2026 Mr Mendoza bought it for $69.99 and then other players did. Would they be able to buy it from PlayStation if Mr Mendoza owned the game?!

Yes, they said that in court (to be precise, I slightly shortened their speech).
