CEO of Epic Games thinks generative AI disclosures „make no sense for game stores”

by

Steam, the popular platform for PC games, now asks developers to share whether they used artificial intelligence (AI) during the game’s creation. Recent data shows that around 8,000 games on Steam have reported using some form of generative AI. Opinions on AI in game development are mixed. Some developers, like those behind the game Dispatch, believe AI can’t replicate the quality of human voice actors. Others see AI as a helpful tool, and some, like the developers of ARC Raiders, are upfront about using it for voiceovers. Many players expressed disappointment at seeing so many games using AI during the recent Steam Next Fest.

Bitcoin reaches $90k again, but how long until it retreats?

by

Ah, the wise technical indicators – those oracle-like scribblings on a trader’s parchment – tell us that Bitcoin (BTC) is trading below key moving averages. What does this mean, you ask? Why, it means the broader trend remains under pressure, like a bear with a bad attitude. And so, the chart analysts nod sagely, as if they’ve discovered a great secret of the universe.

Food influencer ‘dine and dash diva’ arrested in NYC after bill-skipping spree

So, apparently this guy, Pei Chung, got arrested. He’s 34, and it sounds like he didn’t show up for court a couple of times, which led to a warrant for his arrest. Now he’s in jail on Rikers Island facing a charge for not paying for some kind of service. Honestly, it’s a bummer to hear, and kinda reminds me of those times I accidentally left my game running and racked up charges… but way more serious, obviously.

Wall Street Joins Stellar: XLM’s New Era?

by

The Minneapolis-based colossus now pilots a dollar-backed stablecoin upon the shoulders of Stellar, a venture that may yet ignite the dormant embers of institutional adoption and bolster the faltering spirits of XLM as the year draws to its close. One might say, with a wink and a nod, that the banks have finally discovered the internet-or perhaps they’ve merely realized it’s too late to retreat. 🚀

The Steam Machine Doesn’t Even Have To Try

by

I don’t think the Steam Machine needs to actively compete with other consoles to be successful. The existing console market is already weakening, so the Steam Machine doesn’t need to do much to attract gamers. Simply existing as an alternative option is enough.

After 8 Years, The Most Debated Post-Sequel ‘Star Wars’ Movie Is Dead

by

Despite earning a massive $4 billion in ticket sales, the negative reaction to the Star Wars sequel trilogy prompted Disney to change how it handles the beloved franchise. Since The Rise of Skywalker, Disney+ has released a lot of Star Wars TV series, and the story has expanded through books, comics, and games. However, recent major projects have mostly avoided directly continuing the events of the sequel era. That’s about to change, but not with the project fans have been anticipating since 2018.

Eva Green Reunites With Tim Burton for Wednesday Season 3

by

Aunt Ophelia has been a character in almost every version of The Addams Family. She originally appeared in the comic strips as a blonde woman with flowers growing out of her head, appearing as if she were wearing a flower crown. In the 1960s television series, Ophelia was engaged to Gomez Addams, but he fell in love with Morticia after hearing her speak French – and surprisingly, this also cured his asthma! Ophelia didn’t mind, however, as she had already developed feelings for Cousin Itt.
