The US has no federal requirement to pay for unworked hours, be they sick or holiday time off work.

“Federal” is the weasel word here. All states have their own requirements, including sick time, holiday time, and how long you can go without a break. Also, I’ve never seen an employer not offer PTO. Even your local McDonalds has paid vacation for full-time employees.

While I wish it was codified into federal law, your implication that nobody has vacation time in the US is patently false.

Was this purely by prompt, or using img2img in Stable Diffusion?

You’d be surprised.

I feel like you’re mixing up some companies, these sentences make no sense in the context of Embracer. Are you talking about Bethesda?

No. Microsoft.

Microsoft has no such excuse. MS leadership has been asked multiple times why they did it, and they literally haven’t said a single fucking word that makes sense.

I feel like you’re defending the wrong thing here. Wondering why MS shudder the studio is like asking a snake why it attacks its prey. It’s a fucking snake. That’s what it does. That’s always what it does.

Embracer screwed up and let itself be absorbed into the Microsoft empire. They have their IP. They care about nothing else.

Not even once.

A Mastodon user stumbling upon one of these comments could easily assume that it is just another fully independent “toot” (Mastodon’s equivalent of tweet).

Wait, back up… Mastodon calls these “toots”? So, everybody is posting farts?

That kind of ownership clause is pretty standard for mods, especially when the game officially supports mods. Game studios don’t want to run into legal issues if they release some DLC or patch that happens to implement features that another mod included.

They’re all on F95.

That’s the thing about automation and training models.

First, they implement some sort of auto-reporting bot that requires a human to review them. In the beginning, it only about 50% accurate, but as they give it more and more examples of good and bad results through the human reviews, it moves to 80%, then 90%, then 99%, then 99.99% accuracy.

After a while, the humans on the other end are so numb to the 9999 entries they have to mark as approved that they can barely tell what’s a rejection themselves, and the moderation team is asking itself just what this human review is actually doing. If it’s 99.99% accurate, why not let the bot decide?

Then, the model moves on from auto-reporting to auto-moderation.

Gee, I wonder why that so popular…

Not just acceptable, but literally already posted.

We also learn in the FAQ that Easy Anti Cheat will be used on PC at launch

I’m sorry, but what part of that says Denuvo or DRM?

but is concerned about hosting fees for serving images to millions of people

People stopped caring about image bandwidth decades ago. Try wrangling a video-hosting problem, like PeerTube does.

From the FAQ:

Q: Does the game use DRM software (ie. Denuvo…)?

A: No.

What “at launch” part?
