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.

Don’t forget the one idiot Christian nurse who simultaneously held this woman’s hand in the hospital and then reported her to the police because it’s against her beliefs.

It doesn’t do food but I highly recommend StrongLifts 5x5. I’d never lifted weights in my life and it got my going in my 30s and it’s been life changing.

One thing I’d add if you take it up is to start extremely light on the weights if you’ve never lifted, and most importantly, just try to be consistent. Turn each workout into a mental link on a chain you’re building internally and make sure you stick with the three times a week schedule. Don’t break the chain!

It only takes about 15-20 mins to complete the workout and you’ll be so much healthier and happier for doing it just three times a week.

Good luck!

At least they’re recyclable.

Commenting to save

*I get why you’re downvoting but I had to make this comment to save the post because for some reason the save function isn’t working for me and I wanted to load it on another device.

Don’t forget the tan suit and bicycle helmet!

Worst president ever, ever!

/S

Pro-tip, if you want to pretend to be a leftist on the internet, it helps to not call trump better than Obama.

Good luck!

I thought maybe you were exaggerating so I loaded it up and literally DURING THE OPENING SCENES it ran cars on unending blackness for about two seconds before loading the track and stuff 😂. Bro, wtf.

*edit: game is really fun though, solid gameplay and fun to level up cars

I guess the “benefit” they serve is to increase the payout % for the people at the top of the ladder and their goal is to do that until the breaking point that some higher up takes the blame and they fall with a golden parachute before landing at another company exactly the same as the last one.

Rinse and repeat until you’re Summering on a yacht? Seems pretty straightforward to me.

The point is to make as much money as possible while paying the workers as little as is possible. Same as it ever was.

They could always pay us more, but we’re just supposed to be happy they aren’t sending the Pinkertons to shoot our women and children anymore, I guess?

That was hilarious, sad and adorable at the same time. Thank you for the context, I’ve never seen the show before.

Ah yes, that thing my brother likes to do where he VPNs into another country and then buys them at the greatly reduced local prices.

Guess they were attempting to crack down on purchase frauds and legitimate buyers got burned too?

Must be a massive rock you call home.

It’s been my experience that if you don’t get in on the first minute of opening sales then yeah you’re gonna have to wait about a month, though it doesn’t always go that long, even if they estimate it to.
