@Thad That really is a shame. A lot of these "workplace villains" could've been heroes if they just stood behind their work and elevated their teammates. As the saying goes, "he who honors others, honors himself."
@Ruka Yeah, while these "Ads" aren't real, I do kinda miss the days when ads were edgier, cooler, and not afraid to take risks. Back then, things had personality. Much better than the bland corporate crap we see these days.
@gojiguy What a great use of AI, you know? Sure am glad this powerful tool is being used to troll and confuse people, rather than, you know, something actually productive.
@MSaturn Yeah, I have to wonder who thought it would be a good idea to use AI in this way. It's probably meant to be trolling, but it just ends up confusing a lot of people in a potentially dangerous way. We were way better off before this crap started happening. It's a textbook case of them being so preoccupied with whether they could, they never considered whether they should.
@Fighting_Game_Loser Not that I'm advocating for buba in advertisements again, but I do kinda miss when advertisements weren't afraid to take risks or create something a little edgier and cool. Today's ads just seem so sterile, corporate, and bland.
@HammerGalladeBro I think it was Nintendo, yeah. AI fooled people again. Seriously, who thought it would be a good idea to use AI to sew confusion and misinformation, instead of being used for something actually useful? Classic case of "They were so preoccupied with whether they could, they never stopped to consider whether they should."
This looks really cool. I never got to play Princess Crown, but I've been working my way through Dragon's Crown on my Vita and loving it so far. I also really loved Shadow Over Mystara, a game that deserves to be in the conversation as well. I hope it turns out to be a 10/10 and keeps the deep beatemup genre alive.

Re: PlayStation Launched 30 Years Ago In North America, And This Book Aims To Celebrate Its Remarkable Impact
Not a big fan of Jeremy Parish, so it's a little disappointing to see that he's behind it. Still a cool idea though.

I use Opera GX and it worked fine for me.
