Yikes. Seek help, please.

You’re totally right of course.

This place is so hilariously extreme it makes Reddit takes look normal.

This is true.

I’m also wondering what OP was wearing when he took the phone in for repairs, seems like he was asking for it.

Sheesh, I remember playing the first one on my PSP and really enjoying it.

I wonder if it’s possible to jump back in to the series after all this time?

My wife doesn’t game either but holding a tablet for hours and months gave her “tennis elbow” and she was finally essentially ordered to quit by her doctor. Lmao.

This game is hella addicting.

I don’t remember the original looking that good, either. Weird.

I’m specifically referencing all the fear mongers who think the AI is some evil threat and are still against its usage even under such a fair and restrictive contract.

This is really the best of both worlds for all parties, and as far as I could tell, the only people that might suffer are the consumers if the quality of the AI isn’t very good, but everybody else is still getting paid the same and more.

If you’re upset about that just because of the letters, AI then yeah you deserve to lose your job.

What?

I have no idea how you got there from me noticing the pertinent points of the contract, but if it matters I think all that loot box shit should be regulated or maybe even made illegal.

The agreement has two parts–a development contract that governs the recording and creation of an AI voice (called a “digital replica” in the contract), and a contract that covers licensing and use of said digital replicas to develop a game.

In terms of compensation, voice actors will be paid a standard union fee for the initial recording session to create a digital replica, and further compensation if they wish to allow Replica Studio to continue to use the replica after a certain timeframe. Actors can also negotiate compensation for a replica to be created from previously recorded material, with the minimum payment equal to a standard recording session–this also covers deceased performers, if an agreement can be reached with their estate.

Actors can then license their digital replica to be used in games, with payment calculated per every 300 lines of dialogue or 3,000 words (with “words” also including other sounds such as monster noises.) Studios can also pay actors to get access to their digital replica for pre-production–for instance, using the AI voice for placeholder dialogue. If any of the replica’s dialogue is used in a publicly released version of the game, the actor is entitled to further compensation.

They’re going to literally be getting more money for letting a computer talk for them only in the places and ways they allow them to, yet some people are STILL angry just hearing the letters AI and that’s good enough for them.

Jesus Christ, at this point they deserve to lose their work.

It’s worth it for the controller alone.

It’s the first time since I plugged a rumble pack into my n64 controller, that I’ve felt they really did something to increase immersion with that one thing really connecting you to the action on screen.

At least they’re recyclable.

You’re totally right but this is the android community…so we’re gonna need you to start sounding like the echoes here or you can leave.

/s

I really don’t get the sentiment of that comment.

That dude is really emotionally invested in their Spotify decision, lol

Before dinner I thought it was food, boy do I feel silly.

Also, this usually only happens when people are in a hurry and pull from the top instead of the bottom where it’s curled around.

Never mind, my fat ass thought it was a weird angle on a can of Pringles or something food related.

People be lonely, yo.

This seems like an extremely secure way to find out who owns the dog…anyone can just say a dog belongs to them and then take it and do god knows what with it.

At least this way, the real owner is likely the only one who can step up and claim their dog.

International rates vs domestic, if I had to guess.

They have two apps now? I gave up when they deleted hangouts. Figured what’s the point if they’re just gonna end up doing the same thing again down the road.

You need some wool socks, bro.
