This is one of the reasons I haven’t particularly enjoyed any of the products that rely on OpenAI’s services. There’s being SFW and being chaste and then there’s the ridiculously over the top filtering that OpenAI requires from anyone using their service. It loses a lot of fun really fast when it keeps telling you it… Read more
Bruh, I made this in like 2 minutes. Step up your game.

The previous CD trilogy (Legend, Anniversary and Underworld) was way better than the reboot trilogy when it came to those things, though SoTR was a step in the right… Read more
It’s actually kinda funny that Amazon went from “We’re gonna develop our own games and publish them on our own PC platform and even create our own game engine” to “Okay, well, we’ll publish PC games that were already successful in other countries on the Amazon Games platform but they’ll still be exclusives” to “Okay,… Read more
