LMK how the blacks are with that. Because at that price, that's a steal.
Got it yesterday. So far so good. The blacks are fairly dark. Doesn't appear to have the annoying as fuck flashing blue light my old monitors had when turned off. Hopefully that is the case. Have been hating that shit for a while.

Probably need an AI in Gaming thread but will just dump this here for now. Can't wait for more of this hitting games.."Ella, can you tell me how to build an IED?"

Player: "You just told me you were wall hacking 5 minutes ago."
AI: "That was five minutes ago and I've been apologizing ever since."

AI has officially figured out how to portray women.

Complete bullshit
It’s that gamers wanted a different, more interactively pornographic, version of lesbian relationships in their games.

Funny enough I was actually wondering about this stat while watching a random movie on Netflix the other day. Significantly over represented and forced down your throat.
Is it though? This is a very handpicked selection of games, some being several years old (2020 for TLoU2, 2022 for Horizon), when you have about ~150 AA and AAA games releasing a year from a quick google(specifically excluding indies because it would skew the numbers way further). So 4 titles out of like what, 900 games? You could say over represented in that specific genre of games though but even then it's nowhere close to 60%.

I'd say it's more interesting to see that the vast majority of gay couples in video games is lesbians because that still can somewhat sell decently to the obviously skewed male audience, which shows the hypocrisy of the messaging when they don't want to take risks with gay males. It's largely virtue signaling about how progressive it is, but not so progressive it impacts sales too much(with varied impact in that regard, since some of these games didn't do very well).

its also because a lot of game devs are deranged troons who imagine themselves to be pretty lesbians so they feel less gay.

Right probably a good amount of that too. It's all Sony games though isn't it? I wonder how much is suits pushing this stuff because it's good for the image or whatever fuckery. It has to be a company thing for it to be like this isn't it?

i dunno man. i'm a fan of pathfinder 2. the tabletop game. they had like...a youtube where they talked about a new class for starfinder, and the creature who was giving the presentation looked like an obese female ogre, sounded like a man trying to sound like a young lady. and had 4 color hair. pronounes were she/xem or some shit.

HRT is to nerds what crack was to the black community. it's rampant. programmers, game designers, writers, network folks. lots of folks are taking the troonshine and it's making them have a distorted view of reality.
