Fun budget game made by two devs gets review bombed by soy neo-luddites mad that a tiny game didn't fork out thousands to shitty voice actors and used AI instead

Anime voice actors are the closest thing people can interact with to tell people they like an anime because they don't speak Jap. Which is strange, because you can easily talk to Japs in english and they'll get 80% of it.

Just type like an absolute racist which really helps the Japs because of Katakana is literally just speaking to Japs in English words in a racist accent. Japs are also giga-starved for positive words of affirmation that their woke foids are warning other Japs foids that words of affirmation is just like normal Western behavior and not super romantic.

Unskilled people see themselves in voice actors. "dude just says words and gets paid? that's awesome!"

are you a foid? how the heck did you get a hundred updoots for this comment?

Like every entertainment position, they are at their best when you only pay attention to the performance. Once you witness them off the clock you will have your opinion of them drastically lowered

Not possible. At least voice actors speak up with an actual human voice. Journos are spineless scum universally. At least the VA isn't demonstrably reptilian or something. No offense to reptiles love the little guys.

!animalposters I love reptiles

Let's not be hyperbolic now.

They are often art and humanities types who hate AI because it's corporate, soulless, and trained on other people's work, which are valid concerns for me.

However I think their hatred mainly comes because they are resentful of success and fearful of losing their job and jealous of STEMtards, which is very pathetic.

It's very knee jerk, some people I know were shook I brought up the possibility of AI being used creatively, they have an instinctive dislike of it.

It really depends. Several months ago a mod for Mass Effect 3 was released that used an AI to mimic the original voice actress to add new dialogue for Jack that allowed her to be more present in the game. A few people were pissed about 'stealing work' from the voice actress, but the majority were supporting it because she wouldn't have done it anyway so it's fine because the mod maker was poor and couldn't afford to hire her in the first place.

A lot of them are temporarily embarrassed artists themselves that think they are one break away from working at a major studio when in reality their cap will be making $30 a month drawing hentai for Twitter commissions. Basically they are the bottom 80% of the trade and that's the area that Ai is going to replace, because every one of them frankly are easily replaceable.

Yeah... basically it's the same idea. I hadn't thought of that.

Procedural generation is unironically butt in most contexts in twrms of gameplay

IDK why they put that filter on those pictures. The game has that cartoon shaded look with very clear lines.

Microbreweries that make IPAs are soy, microbreweries that make literally anything else are based.

dukes of hazard had a microbrewery. Nothing soy about that

They get the job done and voices were necessary for the game to work - try reading text while flying a biplane.
