Getting pretty obvious that extraction shooters now see PVP as an active hindrance. Bit of a welcome change to have singleplayer and co-op being a focus again
Get a taste of Marathon's evolution with Symbiosis, coming Dec 8, 2026. Introducing the PvE Expedition mode; Deathmatch, our PvP beta; the new Runner Shell Bishop; and more.

As much as I hate AI slop, the reaction to the frankly ideal use of AI for bugfixes cements that these are not serious people.
Big Walk getting fucking DQ'd from the Independent Games Festival awards for undisclosed AI usage was certainly not on my fucking bingo card but here we are I suppose
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Big Walk was not DQ'd from the IGF; some jurors stated they would decline votes for any games using generative AI (incl. code). House House used LLMs sparingly only to debug 3rd-party code issues (<0.1% of code), which Steam policy exempts from disclosure.

Silicon Valley: AI is gonna take your job and then kill everyone
Normies: ok we are voting against the data centers
Silicon Valley: wait why would you do that
So funny seeing these stats vs PvP sweats acting smug. Sorry I do not want to deal with kids on Adderall with no job, I also do not want to pick up the exact same meta M4A1.
So, here is current stat of players split in #Tarkov
25% PvP
15% PvP Season
60% PvE

The biggest challenge for AI to be accepted in the arts is simply the average AI users lack of taste.
Who is this for but the "Live Laugh Love" people listening to AI country music?
Spotify just announced a feature that could either save the music industry or destroy it.
Starting as early as Q1 2027, Spotify Premium subscribers will be able to use AI to transform any participating artist’s song into a completely different version. Turn a folk ballad into a dance track. Make a hip-hop song sound acoustic. Generate a cover where one artist’s voice performs another artist’s song. Remix a pop hit into lo-fi study music. Create the version of your favorite song that only existed in your head until now.
The remixes will be uploaded directly to Spotify. They’ll appear in playlists. They’ll count toward the original song’s chart position. And most importantly the original artist will earn royalties every time someone listens to a fan-created remix of their work.
Spotify has already signed a landmark licensing deal with Universal Music Group the world’s largest record label. Negotiations with Sony Music and Warner Music are ongoing. The feature will cost an additional $4–$5/month on top of Spotify Premium. And analysts project 7–8% of American subscribers will adopt it by 2028.
This is not Suno or Udio generating music from text prompts. This is fans remixing real songs by real artists with the artists’ permission, on the world’s largest streaming platform, with royalties flowing back to the creators.
A music industry analyst who’s covered streaming economics for 15 years told her team something after reading the licensing agreement that reframed how she understood the future of recorded music.
“Spotify just turned 640 million listeners into 640 million potential remixers. The question isn’t whether people will use it they will. The question is whether paying artists for fan remixes solves the economics of streaming or creates a world where the original recording is worth less than the infinite remixes generated from it.”
Here’s what Spotify’s AI remix feature actually is, who wins, who loses, and why this might be the most consequential decision in the music industry since the launch of streaming itself 🧵

All these people care about is where to park their 1 ton hunk of metal. They don't care that Acland street is a great place for families. Genuinely parasitic

At Flinders Street station right now, it's absolutely heaving for spring carnival.
I have seen hundreds of ultra scuffed RM Williams and ill fitting suits. Appalled

Haven't been to the NGV Australia in a bit. Really good selection of galleries this time around, always good to check out the Australian Impressionism section
