OpenAI Is Just Another Boring, Desperate AI Startup What is OpenAI? I realize you might say "a foundation model lab" or "the company that runs ChatGPT," but that doesn't really give the full picture of everything it’s promised, or claimed, or leaked t...

When the bubble bursts and people realize that AI generated content is either bad or just not really interesting, we're in for heaps of trouble economically anyway, but hey at least the AI fad will be over

We have to wait it out. Currently it's estimated that it costs OpenAI $5 to produce every single 10 second video, with no monetization on the way except the fee to I guess generate through Sora.

DanipoGames's review of Mario Kart World | Backloggd Listen, look past the score for a second. Its a good game. The racing and tracks are better than they've even been (if you go back before 2014) and the character selection is great. It's just not $80 ...

My review of #MarioKartWorld. A competent entry in the series, but some baffling UI/UX, Grand Prix, and Open world decisions keep this from the pantheon, and definitely doesn't earn its $80 price tag

My review of #DoomtheDarkAges, my personal disappointment of the year (so far). Swaying too far in the opposite direction from what made Eternal great, the pacing is just too slow and the semi open areas are kind of a slog

DanipoGames's review of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 | Backloggd A monumental achievement in AA gaming. While some of the gameplay at higher levels can be reduced to relying on rhythm gaming parrying, or highly specific nuke builds, Clair Obscur easily reaches the ...

My review for #Expedition33, an incredibly well-done RPG where my only criticism is that it maybe needed a little more work in Act 3.

DanipoGames's review of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 | Backloggd I love Tony Hawk's Pro Skaters 3 and 4. The PS2 originals, I mean. They represent Neversoft at their creative peak before boldly taking the franchise in a new direction. 3 being a complete victory lap...

DanipoGames's review of Donkey Kong Bananza | Backloggd Yeah man, I think after about 45 hours this may be the best Donkey Kong game. I don't think anything I have to say will be new, so I'll jot my thoughts down below<br><br>- After the disappointment tha...

DanipoGames's review of I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream | Backloggd Starting Spooky Season off early. I've come back around to a game that I've owned for over a decade, but never gave more than a few minutes of my time. And I think it's worth yours as well, but I'd st...

My review of classic PC horror point-and-click "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream". Still a classic that deftly expands on the original short story while adding it's own terrors

Hadn't touched my #Switch in a while since I had to send it in for repairs. Tried to set it back up when I learned all my cloud saves were deleted because my Switch Online lapsed, and on top of that, all my local saves disappeared as well. Great move #Nintendo, makes me real confident in #Switch2

Never. Single use cups with NFC tags are a blight

danipo87's review of Metaphor: ReFantazio | Backloggd This review contains spoilers!

danipo87's review of Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara | Backloggd Pretty easy family-oriented 3D platformer. If you try to play the game at normal speed, its really not that great. You have to find your own fun and for me, that was attempting to speed run the game at all times. You do die a lot but at least that adds some challenge. <br><br>Overall, its not too long and doesn't overstay its welcome, but I can't give a family game that high of a score without trying to add something for the "big kids" like you would find in a Mario Odyssey. If they had added a Platinum time attack score to each level I think that would have done it, but as it stands its a pretty one-and-done playthrough.<br>

If only you could have done something the last 4 years instead of propping up a warmonger, pushing an unpopular candidate in the 2020 primaries (who also turned out to be a warmonger), and put your fingers in your ears when people called for a ceasefire and single payer healthcare. Shut it
