    On Apple Arcade, the game Stitch. is worth all the time for casual puzzling. I apologize if it’s not available elsewhere but this game has had me in its clutches for over three years.

    Ah I see the confusion. My suggestion for watermark is only in context of signifier, not physical or apparent on the art itself. Say you write a song and release it through CD Baby, it goes through whatever test (this is where my question gets too technical) to signify it’s human made, and it’s digitally imprinted with some code that can only be significantly detected. Like when you bought something on iTunes two decades ago and it was coded with piracy software… I’m still in the weeds thinking about this so I’m trying to make sense of it too.

    Edit: in rereading your comment, I think we’re talking about the same thing. My bad!

    Tool was meant to signify what AI I had assumedly used (ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, Dall-E, etc). I like the idea of your suggestion, labeling, as it's proven to work in the museum/gallery world for however long. Fraudulent art and recognition of craft is the more prescient task unfortunately, and the near future will show us that we won't be able to discern human vs robot content.

    You've hit the nail on the head. It's such a growing issue, and this is simply just the infancy stage of said problem, that there will soon be indistinguishable content from a human to a robot making art, writing a story, composing a symphony, or writing a movie. I agree with others here that when AI generated content is actually good, that there's a human behind tweaking and using that tool in an artistic way. That being said, if it's to your point of trickery, mimicry, or like those AI musicians with 300,000 followers within a week, I find that problematic and it should be garnered for us, the consumer to decide if we like it because of its origins.

    Thank you for understanding. I hate to have to put such a stamp on such things (I think back to Parental Advisory on physical music in the 90s) but a universal watermark could be useful for the future. I’m just not savvy enough to figure that out.

    Edit: my post has been deemed malformed, and I’d like to apologize and clarify to the community. The concept of a digital watermark signifying that the artist didn’t use any image generation, LLM, GPT, etc is the proposition. I do understand it’s tough to identify the term AI in use, since most of our tech uses some form of code to modify our work without our knowledge. More-so, I mean to identify work, art, or content that did not specifically use tools to create. Again apologies!

    Post: I’m wondering the world of Tildenisian thoughts on this. Say I make a piece of art, no matter the content, and it’s completely of my own hand. Should there be some kind of digital watermark to signify that accomplishment? Maybe accomplishment isn’t the right word.

    I must be looking for validation, because I’ve made art recently where folks have asked the question, “What tool did you use?” and immediately felt dread and disappointment.

    Perhaps it’s not even feasible to signify since “AI” is eventually impossible to circumvent when sharing your art over these series of tubes. Oh well.

    What do you fine folks think?

    Hmm I’ve never thought about it that way. In playing games like Bandicoot, or The Last of Us, it’s about mastering the flow of controls, whereas these “SoulsBorne” games deal with repetition, bosses, and memorization. I’m gonna think about my own gaming traits. I’m not sure what they are hah! Thanks for the food for thought.

    Wow congratulations on Sekiro! I had to put it down because of how frustrated I had gotten. Seems to be my trend with SoulsBornes… crap! I’m doing the same thing w Elden Ring, where I will play for what seems like a long time until I just die which brings me to turn off the PlayStation.

    After a decade, I finally have a computer I can record music with. I have the demo for a great idea tracked out, but now I’m trying to tighten everything up and am running into perfectionist problems.

    The demo sounded so great, and has a raw feeling that I want to keep in the final song. The recorded tracks for that demo had pops and clicks/artifacts that I just don’t want in the polished track which after re-recording has lost some of that original feel.

    I want to be free with it all, but it’s a juggling game of what’s realistic, and what sounds best.

    Dunno! Maybe I’m just being too hard on it. I don’t have a pro set up so my limitations can be… limiting. Home studio!

    I didn’t watch the Eggs and Cowboys play, but I saw the highlights and was real dissatisfied with how our fans seem to just excuse our player’s actions as “that’s just Philly.” I grew up outside of that city and I moved to PDX right after college, tried to live in Philly and failed twice since to be closer to family. Carter’s disrespect, however misguided, is just unacceptable and telling of the Philly I know.

    All NE sports fans can attest that you’re born where you’re born and you’re stuck w those teams like it or not. I guess I just keep getting my hopes up that the teams that represent my family heritage will show class, but nah.

    At least the Phillies are fun to watch.

    I am now using the phrase “they can get in the sea” as the alternative to “go pound sand,” “kick rocks,” or “shove it.” Big appreciation to you.

    This is good to hear, thank you. I suppose as with all FromSoft games, the learning curve is high, and I’ll just have to keep at it.

    About Death Stranding, once you get to the second location and really start building roads, I found it relaxing and even therapeutic to make deliveries so I could get the likes needed from every outpost. I would throw DS on in the mornings with my coffee while watching a podcast, and it was the perfect companion. It felt like reading a book.

    That all being said, and here’s the trope all of us will tell one another, not all games are for everyone. I’d give it more time to really sink in so you can get your mind’s worth out of it.

    The walking sim aspect of it is only a sliver of the game’s content in my opinion. It’s a wacky Kojima story, with vistas that I really did enjoy driving through in my van while dodging the death stranding. Also, Conan O’Brien is in there somewhere and he rocks.

    I played it through to the end. It’s a worthwhile experience that I won’t forget soon.

    I’m slowly going through some older AAA titles.

    Mafia: Definitive Edition has been a good episodic journey that I can hang w for a few chapters. The shooting mechanic is rough sometimes, but I do enjoy the story. The voice acting feels like I’m watching a true show.

    Elden Ring has finally made my library. I chose to be a Bandit, for whatever stupid reason… probably because I enjoy being killed a whole bunch. Next, I’m going to try Samurai or Warrior as a start to see what the difference is. The sound design and visuals…. Sheesh. I knew it was going to be good, but held off so I could focus on life before ER all consumed me.

    I really tried to play through Bloodborne, and just found myself getting depressed. I dig the environment, but it got so heavy at times, and with my need for pansy handholding save points, I became frustrated. Oh well. If there’s something I’m missing, please let me know! I’ll always be up to give it a third shot.
