This is honestly not a bad idea.
I'm not sure about mods, but if the game is modable, it gives you a year for all that to be created and your experience is going to be way better.

I don't really see a problem with this. Is it so much different from making a good 3D model?
We're talking about assets that will be used for generating massive crowds. That's already done with CGI. These scans aren't even "AI"... they're just like metahumans in Cryengine.
This guy just put the term AI on it because it freaks everyone out.
If you take the $200 for a motion and body scan and you sign your rights away, that's what you get. This isn't a change to how Hollywood already operations. Fear-mongering for nothing.
Holy shit balls.
100 million isn't that much when it comes to Meta. There's over 2 billion "active" Instagram users that all were prompted to download the app. That means only 0.005% of Instagram accounts fell for it.
I have no doubt that at least that many people tried it out. When I went to the Android App store, Meta was paying for a front and center promotion of Threads.
I'm one of those people that's mostly waiting for SQ42 :D I really loved Freelancer and those style of space games. The PU is fun, but I'm really looking forward to a good storyline and to see how the acting from all these A-list stars turns out.
I saw some clips from the leaks last year that look amazing and my hype levels are way up again. I still have my hopes up that they'll eventually show something new at Citizencon because the little we've seen is insane good!
our headcount will be over 1,100
Kinda crazy to think that CIG has more employees now that a lot of major game studios. Bethesda only has 400-500.
It's important to note that Lemmy.ml is defederated from lemmygrad. So while there may be some of the same people involved, the instance as a whole is run correctly.
I can't really tell the truth behind all this drama, because there seems to be a pretty dedicated group of people trying to slander lemmy.ml, but I've never seen anything unreasonable out of them.
At this point, I honestly think it's a hit-squad paid by Reddit to discredit Lemmy.
Mastodon is perfect for this type of thing as well. They have full control over the instance. They can restrict sign-ups so that official accounts are easily verifiable. It's a terrific idea.
This is the kind of thing that could help Mastodon really take off. The only reason most people still look at Twitter is for updates from official sources.
It's kinda funny because both sides have a skewed view of the other. I see apple users as less tech-savvy and generally more of the "general" population (see: normies).
Google made a huge mistake shutting down Google+. If they had built it out to integrate with Youtube, where people could have a space to Tweet, have a Main Page feed like Facebook, and post videos all in the same platform, they would have dominated the market.
I still have a hard time believing that no-one has created a platform that encompasses all of those things. Meta is doing it piece-meal but it's all disorganized. It should be one unified platform.
That's why I hope some developers start working on a way to integrate Lemmy and Mastodon and like.. PeerTube together into a single frontend. I'd love to be able to manage my Mastodon posts and BS on Lemmy in the same website.
I think one of the major issues is how poorly we're doing at directing people to individual instances.
Lemmy works fine if we have a bunch of good / stable instances created for a variety of different topics and users spread out. All the kinks and things do need to be worked out, but at the same time there needs to be a better way of load-balancing people to different instances. Either that or the entire backend needs to be re-written to allow better load-balancing. I can't imagine lemmy.world can survive another major influx of users.
We're just a small small portion of the reddit userbase. Lemmy will explode if there's ever a mass migration.
IT'S JUST A FEW DECIMAL PLACES GIVE ME A BREAK π
