Procedurally generated means that much of the game is created within the engine itself. Thus the modeling/animation does not have to be done by the video game creators, they instead create a game engine that does this for them. One early and famous example of this was Spore. You can read more about how they used procedural generation here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_Spore#Procedural_generation When Ken Levine left to do his own thing after Bioshock Infinite, he wanted to go create the holy grail of gaming: a procedurally generated game that still had a strong narrative (by using what he calls narrative Lego's). You can read more about that here: https://thenewsmotion.com/ken-levines-ambitious-new-game-is-reportedly-in-development-hell/ Most of the games that had used procedural generation up until this point have largely been sandbox type games that don't have much story. This is the direction I thought a significant portion of the games industry would go in in the past thirteen of fourteen years. Instead they have mostly continued to make games the same way, only occasionally using this new way of thinking. e.g. in the Nemesis system for Shadow of Mordor. But I believed that by 2022 procedural generation would be the bedrock upon which many games are entirely built. Instead it is still more of a gimmick or an afterthought. Especially with ever increasing computing power of the game machines, it would make sense that this is the next frontier for gaming.

In general I am pretty sad about the state of the video games industry. Ten years ago, I would have imagined that super-exciting stuff would be happening right now. Especially in terms of procedurally generated games. But the industry as a whole only ever embraced that development in a very limited way, instead doing things largely the old-fashioned way, only with ever ballooning budgets. Had they made better/different choices in the past like 10-14 years, the video games industry probably looks very different right now, even from a purely technological sense.

Bruno Fernandes actually missed from there?

She could have just not put pronouns in her profile, like the vast majority of twitter and social media users? I don't know why she would have thought that putting in beep bop boop instead would not be interpreted as mocking the practice. Especially if the sister of the star of the show you are on is a trans woman who literally has her pronouns in her social media profiles...

I think Gina's problem in terms of losing her Mandalorian gig has more to do with the fact that she spoke out against trans people and the star of that show (Pedro Pascal) has a trans sister. That was probably the biggest contributing factor to her character getting dropped.

He is okay with his employees having to piss in bottles instead of giving them humane bathroom breaks.

I didn't know Priscilla had a neck tattoo!

Well the Cyberpunk story is sad because it was the corporate side of the company that pushed through its release even though it wasn't near completion. The creative side was rightly angry when it was subsequently revealed how disastrous that turned out to be for the company's reputation. The release should have been pushed back by at least a year. But that is part of the equation, since these entities are now largely controlled by people who don't care much about the medium, just about how much money they can make from it.

I like Hailey so it pains me a bit to say that what they've released of her so far is some of the worst work I have ever seen from her. I don't know how SI keeps on doing this at this point. You almost have to try to suck this much.

Yeah, it's so rarely that I play something that really impresses me or makes me think "oh wow that is truly original". The consolidation of the gaming industries within a small handful of companies has been bad for innovation imho.

Thanks!

Who is the model with her in the last of those Guess shots?

XCOM 2 Wasteland 3 Crusader Kings III Desperados III I do remember that I did play a few more bigger games released after AC:O Control & the Resident Evil 3 remake.

I haven't really played many triple A games recently. Probably the last one was AC Odyssey. So that is years ago. When I do play nowadays it tends to be more indie or smaller studio content.

A more important question: WTAF should I care about a little conflict between a super-wealthy podcaster and a super-wealthy rock star?

Ken Levine has also gone off to do his own thing, but his new game has been in development hell for years now.

Topic cleaned. Please refrain from posting unsubstantiated libelous accusations!

This story just got weird, his girlfriend seems to claim she got hacked and had no intention of releasing those pictures and audio? Yet she is also not denying that Mason Greenwood is the one who did this to her?

Still gorgeous!

I have friends who vacation in Florida each year and they too talk about the great amount of very overweight people but I never got the idea they meant like one in three or one in four people.

Deservedly so. Have you seen the pictures his girlfriend posted? It's grim stuff.

What exactly was the metric for these stats? I think the official definition is a BMI of greater than 30? That's why I was so shocked by those numbers. Someone my height would need to weigh over 103 kg to qualify as obese. So it's weird to think of a situation where at least 25% of people you encounter weigh that much.

I can't see how Mason Greenwood's career can survive the domestic abuse allegations against him. Especially not with how harrowing the video & audio evidence is.

Agreed, I don't think there have been very many models who have matched so well with a brand as Sarah does with Honey Birdette. HB must realize this too because they keep on booking her.
