Re: the AI stuff, there was a story out of China where a bunch of companies that used AI for art ended up going back to human employees because the AI companies jacked up the price too much. Another story in the US had I believe a voice software company quit working with an AI company because they were charging too much for too little voices. The ultimate undoing of these companies is how much they cost and charge, that & the legal risks are what’s going to kill them (possibly already happening, with even companies like Square Enix dropping generative AI in a creative sense)
A good example of this is Zenless Zone Zero being absolutely bursting with art and posters and assets but none of it is AI because they just reached out to their legions of Hoyo-pixiv creators and paid them for what was essentially fanart they would have posted online for free anyways. Way cheaper and easier to get than having their devs waste time generating good looking AI posters or hiring another company to churn them out, and the diversity and quality speaks for itself.
The contrast between the absolute miserable state of Concord's character designs (not saying they're AI but design by committee is close) versus everyone on the internet simping hard for ZZZ's cute shark girl says it all
None of overwatches tanks were designed to be used in a 5 v 5 scenario. They were designed from the ground up to do half the of tank and have a second tank back them up. Unlike in comparison paladins, were all tanks were designed to be self suffiecient due to it always being 5 v 5.

Kris will be happy to hear that there are indeed ways Fire Emblem has prevented players from throwing one unit at everything in a map. They just haven't been in any games in awhile. Weapon durability was a decent deterrent but it was able to be worked around if you kept high durability weapons on them. Thracia 776 however had a mechanic called fatigue that would prevent you from using a unit if the battles they were in during the last chapter exceeded their max HP. Their fatigue reset to zero if you had them sit out one chapter or you used a rare item. I'd like it if they brought that mechanic back one day, but they may be reticent to take anything from Thracia because of its reputation.
I'm glad Dan is both a lunatic and honest about the worth of the insane power levels you can chase in tech, because I also feel that pull sometimes and especially with all the open lies about frame generation being good coming from so many places, it's hard to tell if any of this is ever worth it. 480Hz's lure has been broken, but when I next need to upgrade the PC, I'll definitely be thinking about 240Hz.
I feel like Tatsunoko Vs Capcom is a wayyy more of license nightmare than Marvel just based on Marvel being consistent across different territories where as with Tatsunoko all those animes are distributed by different companies depending on the region. I would love to see it get a rollback port for people to buy though...
Tekken is perpetually scared of ever advancing or giving characters who aren't the Mishima family anything to do, so Heihachi coming back in-story wasn't particularly surprising. People were talking about Asuka getting 30 seconds of fluff dialogue in 8's story mode as a big win for her, so that tells you where people's headspace is by this point. But anyways. So Dizzy - the character heavily teased at the end of Another Story - made it into Strive, while Jam is nowhere to be seen. I for one am shocked, nobody could have seen this coming. I wonder why they would avoid putting Jam in the game, truly a mystery for the ages.
Small clarification about the Intel CPU thing. It's not the Intel server CPUs(aka Xeon series) that are showing the issue(not yet at least), but rather the Intel consumer CPUs in either a consumer or server-type motherboard.
Well what kind of fell off the back of the truck Steam Deck did Dan get? Like almost all his issues I've never experienced, and I use the Steam Deck daily for about a year.
The Decks hardware is good, but the OS can be wonky in my experience, especially when you're using the SD slot. Still, if its linux native or deck verified, it should work like a proper handheld
"Listen, Todd, buddy. Dis procedural generation stuff, it's a neat gizmo. Good tool for quick landscapes. Ey, we had a pretty good time wit speedtree back in the day, huh? Heh. Now. Yoo gonna get us sommore bespoke locations and quests to put togethuh, or, uh, we gonna have to put an arrow in youh knee?"
For once I very much disagree with kris about the Lucy pick. Like if she was in an earlier season pass before most vets I'd get it but this is the fourth pass after pretty much all of the higher priority old characters and fan faves (except Jam lol rip to her) AND she's the last one of it after the newcomer from the anime. This is the better way to handle a cross media guest DLC compared to how most of everyone does it nowadays where they're either in the base roster or have multiple slots in the pass.
I looked into the AI asset generation thing, apparently it's not that bad. What they did was use AI to make a rough initial 2D drawing, touched it up/reworked it by hand, and then made the 3D models by hand based on the 2D stuff. So they probably aren't replacing employees with AI *yet* and these firings were just more of the "we massively overexpanded during COVID and are too incompetent to split teams up into smaller projects" routine.
I dunno how I feel about that new Gundam show. The latest trailer was pretty convincing and I really like the idea of making the RX-78 a villain, I hope it works out well
I bet if you were feeding the goddess hyper detailed tacos instead of sweets that Dan would be far more interested. Also in regards to Timer-chan, if chat donates enough maybe y'all can commission an artist to make a bunch of talking sprites for her and set her up with a text-to-speech program to read out chat donations. Then when/if she dies, just Dragon Ball it by adding a halo to the design lol
I'm pretty sure Bob actually got the weaker version of the SMT5:V final boss (the version you would fight during Law/Chaos of the original game), because the stronger version (from the old True Neutral) has been buffed to be stronger than the content needed to unlock him, at least in terms of levels. You can also fight the stronger version in the new story, but you have to do all the same things to unlock him as you did in the base game, and the Vengeance storyline makes one of those things (the end of the Khonsu questline) missable.
Y’all had me scared about the permadeath note on Unicorn Overlord but apparently that difficulty is only on repeat play throughs. I know I let some dudes drop recently so I had to scan my whole roster.
You know, it's a shame, Concord sounds like a game I'd like, but almost certainly wouldn't run on my pc, with the only "current" gen console I own being a Switch. If anyone has any recommendations when it comes to shooters with unique loadout systems/mechanics and builds, with lots of options, without options being locked behind microtransactions on Switch, I'd appreciate it. Also, it doesn't sound like they screwed up to me, it just sounds like they decided to make a shooter that might not have the broad appeal of a pick up and play kind of shooter.
Fire Emblem 5 actually had a stamina system that was so restrictive that units who go over their stamina limit have to sit out the entire next chapter, but Intelligent Systems were too cowardly to ever bring it back
Even though I can't think of a recent platform fighter that's not technically indie, even the most mid ones I'm aware of - and I'm talking 4/10 mid, they ain't good - look at least as solid as the old AAA imitators brought up here. Not everybody has the money or the talent, but consistency has gone up. This is also the first place I've heard positive impressions about Onimusha: Blade Warriors. Not very familiar with the game, so it is on my long list.
So I was wondering what do you do in vrchat? Is it just gathering together and talking to people or are there things to do outside of that? Also, the superboss Bob was talking about can be fought on your first time through. You just have to complete all the quests for the black haired angel. There is also a new superboss for the original route as well. though its a bit obscure on how to get that one.
The main thing in VRChat is talking to people and walking around, but there are lots of different maps you can go to and quite a few have pretty neat minigames. People also add crazy stuff like custom animations and particle effects to their avatars
Currently there’s also a giant con going called VKet. Some of the worlds are amazing worlds to see and have fun spectacle and mini games all over them. But aside from that it’s mostly hanging with friends or talking to rando’s.
Minor news story that was missed during the news roundup, but Honkai Star Rail announced that they are collabing with Fate/stay night Unlimited Blade Works, and that the collab should be released in Q3 2025. Which: 1. It's kind of insane that they are announcing it this far in advance, I have to wonder if they are going to straight up add a Fate location into the game because why else would you announce the collab a year in advance. 2. Kinda surprised they went with Unlimited Blade Works over just doing a FGO collab, because with FGO you have a wider pool of characters and you could even use Saber Wars as a basis for the crossover. 3. This just makes me feel that at some point ZZZ will get a Street Fighter 6 collab, cause HSR did an interview with Nasu prior to this collab much like how ZZZ did an interview with the SF6 team prior to ZZZ's launch (and then played SF6 against the team). Which would then leave Genshin with the worst crossover out of the three (Aloy, who isn't even finished since she STILL does not have any constellations in the game after nearly 3 years).
You just know Daisuke paid through the nose for the Edgerunner licensing then some ASWA exec brick-walled them from adding the "loli" everyone would've actually been hype about. Meanwhile CyGames gives us both mega mommy and the rat daughteru. Then teases the biggest fujobait in gacha/fg history. Appealing to the American audience was a mistake.

It's really impressive how frame generation has managed to bring what's essentially lagswitch style netcode issues to the rendering pipeline.

It's nearly 2 AM and I have work in a few hours, I'm going to pass out now.
Kris will be happy to hear that there are indeed ways Fire Emblem has prevented players from throwing one unit at everything in a map. They just haven't been in any games in awhile. Weapon durability was a decent deterrent but it was able to be worked around if you kept high durability weapons on them. Thracia 776 however had a mechanic called fatigue that would prevent you from using a unit if the battles they were in during the last chapter exceeded their max HP. Their fatigue reset to zero if you had them sit out one chapter or you used a rare item.
I'd like it if they brought that mechanic back one day, but they may be reticent to take anything from Thracia because of its reputation.
Shadows of Valentia also had fatigue, though you could remove it with food so you can ignore it to some extent
I'm glad Dan is both a lunatic and honest about the worth of the insane power levels you can chase in tech, because I also feel that pull sometimes and especially with all the open lies about frame generation being good coming from so many places, it's hard to tell if any of this is ever worth it. 480Hz's lure has been broken, but when I next need to upgrade the PC, I'll definitely be thinking about 240Hz.
I feel like Tatsunoko Vs Capcom is a wayyy more of license nightmare than Marvel just based on Marvel being consistent across different territories where as with Tatsunoko all those animes are distributed by different companies depending on the region. I would love to see it get a rollback port for people to buy though...
I’d love to hear Wario’s “d’ho, I missed” following the gunshot after gun-friend leaves scene.
"Heihachi is *Not* dead." -Raven, maybe.
If Timer-chan survives till her first birthday she gets to be a real channel mascot like Dr Aggro.
1:57:43 I’ve literally been waiting for it to come on PlayStation just because shiny trophy activates my goblin brain
Tekken is perpetually scared of ever advancing or giving characters who aren't the Mishima family anything to do, so Heihachi coming back in-story wasn't particularly surprising. People were talking about Asuka getting 30 seconds of fluff dialogue in 8's story mode as a big win for her, so that tells you where people's headspace is by this point.
But anyways. So Dizzy - the character heavily teased at the end of Another Story - made it into Strive, while Jam is nowhere to be seen. I for one am shocked, nobody could have seen this coming. I wonder why they would avoid putting Jam in the game, truly a mystery for the ages.
Jam's cool tho
If ASW can make Bridget work, they can salvage Jam and scrub out the more problematic stuff
(however they better keep the same VA from Rev)
I do believe either FE5 or 4 had a stamina system. Tho I may be misremembering.
Small clarification about the Intel CPU thing. It's not the Intel server CPUs(aka Xeon series) that are showing the issue(not yet at least), but rather the Intel consumer CPUs in either a consumer or server-type motherboard.
Well what kind of fell off the back of the truck Steam Deck did Dan get? Like almost all his issues I've never experienced, and I use the Steam Deck daily for about a year.
Everyone's copy of steam deck is personalized.
He's got some insanely weird bad luck with hardware at times. The Series X, now this
The Decks hardware is good, but the OS can be wonky in my experience, especially when you're using the SD slot. Still, if its linux native or deck verified, it should work like a proper handheld
as someone who owned both the steamdeck oled is slightly lighter than the original lcd one. definitely more comfortable to play while laying down

I bet if you were feeding the goddess hyper detailed tacos instead of sweets that Dan would be far more interested.
Also in regards to Timer-chan, if chat donates enough maybe y'all can commission an artist to make a bunch of talking sprites for her and set her up with a text-to-speech program to read out chat donations. Then when/if she dies, just Dragon Ball it by adding a halo to the design lol
That is an uncomfortable thumbnail fullscreened. Take like one step back Heihachi

Does anyone else have better luck?
It didn't start working because of the factory reset.
It started working because enough believers were watching that time.

Even though I can't think of a recent platform fighter that's not technically indie, even the most mid ones I'm aware of - and I'm talking 4/10 mid, they ain't good - look at least as solid as the old AAA imitators brought up here. Not everybody has the money or the talent, but consistency has gone up.
This is also the first place I've heard positive impressions about Onimusha: Blade Warriors. Not very familiar with the game, so it is on my long list.
I completed Guacamelee back in the day and I completely have forgotten what Kris is talking about when did that happen??
HEIHACHI IS GONNA EAT BOB
Wake up gamers 🌞
So I was wondering what do you do in vrchat? Is it just gathering together and talking to people or are there things to do outside of that?
Also, the superboss Bob was talking about can be fought on your first time through. You just have to complete all the quests for the black haired angel. There is also a new superboss for the original route as well. though its a bit obscure on how to get that one.
The main thing in VRChat is talking to people and walking around, but there are lots of different maps you can go to and quite a few have pretty neat minigames. People also add crazy stuff like custom animations and particle effects to their avatars
It's mainly just socializing, but people do set up some pretty intricate games in their custom-made worlds.
Currently there’s also a giant con going called VKet. Some of the worlds are amazing worlds to see and have fun spectacle and mini games all over them.
But aside from that it’s mostly hanging with friends or talking to rando’s.
@@GigaBoots that's neat. Maybe I can give vr chat a try when the psvr2 adapter comes out.
Minor news story that was missed during the news roundup, but Honkai Star Rail announced that they are collabing with Fate/stay night Unlimited Blade Works, and that the collab should be released in Q3 2025. Which:
1. It's kind of insane that they are announcing it this far in advance, I have to wonder if they are going to straight up add a Fate location into the game because why else would you announce the collab a year in advance.
2. Kinda surprised they went with Unlimited Blade Works over just doing a FGO collab, because with FGO you have a wider pool of characters and you could even use Saber Wars as a basis for the crossover.
3. This just makes me feel that at some point ZZZ will get a Street Fighter 6 collab, cause HSR did an interview with Nasu prior to this collab much like how ZZZ did an interview with the SF6 team prior to ZZZ's launch (and then played SF6 against the team). Which would then leave Genshin with the worst crossover out of the three (Aloy, who isn't even finished since she STILL does not have any constellations in the game after nearly 3 years).
I am woken up...
Hell yeah let's go Legacy of Kain-uary is back on the menu!
THERE'S GHOSTS NOW?
I enjoy the Dan Tech Segments
You just know Daisuke paid through the nose for the Edgerunner licensing then some ASWA exec brick-walled them from adding the "loli" everyone would've actually been hype about.
Meanwhile CyGames gives us both mega mommy and the rat daughteru. Then teases the biggest fujobait in gacha/fg history.
Appealing to the American audience was a mistake.
