V社提醒玩家别吸Steam Deck,“这不利于健康”

The Steam Deck produced by V has been on sale for almost two years, and there are many memes about this handheld, one of which is about sucking its "exhaust gas".

Last year, a netizen posted on Reddit that he liked the gas emitted from the Steam Deck's cooling and exhaust gas, and that not only did he like this special smell, but even his cat loved to come over and smell it while he was playing.

Under this post, in addition to the "praise cats" that should be there, many netizens expressed their approval of the poster. They also like to smell their Steam Deck, which has the aroma of the exhaust vents that is unique to new electronics, reminiscent of the new PS1 controller.

Since then, smoking Steam Deck has become a meme.

In the past two days, another "enthusiast" asked the customer service of V Society whether it was safe to do so. The customer service finally gave their official answer: "As with all electronics, we do not recommend that you inhale the exhaust fumes of your device. While there are usually no safety concerns for general use, and we know that this may be just a meme, please don't do it for the sake of your health. ”

The "Like a Dragon" series will open a themed exhibition at the end of the year, and a "Cyber Soul Hall" will be opened for the deceased characters

The "Like a Dragon" series is scheduled to hold a half-month exhibition in Ikebukuro on December 30, 2023, with the theme of "In Memory of the Man Who Died".

As the name suggests, this is an exhibition based on the characters who have died in the series of games, including images of deceased characters such as Akira Nishikiyama and Shintaro Kazama, photos of the last moments before death, and last words. These characters will also be themed around and merchandise will be made and sold, including Spiritual Tablets and Relics-style stands.

In the official introduction of the exhibition, it is also mentioned that in the "funeral home area" of the exhibition hall, players can put the flowers exchanged for tickets on the portrait of their favorite character. In the "cemetery area", you can also see the deceased standing in front of the tombstone through AR technology.

But what is puzzling is that in such a different kind of "Cyber Lingtang" exhibition, the official did not forget to piggyback on the two protagonists of the series. At the scene, it is still possible to return to the story of Kazuma Kiryu and Kasuga Ichiban along the way.

THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT HAS ANNOUNCED THE AI USE CASE FOR LEVEL-5 IN GAME DEVELOPMENT

Recently, at the fourth meeting of the Japanese government's "Intellectual Property Investigation Committee in the AI Era", some of the uses of AI in game development of LEVEL-5 were revealed.

In this discussion of the definition of AI property rights, LEVEL-5, a developer who has produced well-known games such as "Professor Leighton", "Yokai Watch", and "Ni no Kuni", used AI in a variety of scenarios, and it appeared as a positive case.

They did not "alchemize" the drawings on a large scale like many people's existing impressions of drawing AI, but used their own copyright materials as bait for the AI to draw the outlines of the characters they needed, and then specified the lighting and clothing materials that need to be generated to the AI to obtain an AI reference map.

The catalog interface of "Million Ton Musashi W" also refers to the composition of the AI

They will also build a 3D scene and generate the required light and shadow of the room, which can then be modified into textures and added to the 3D scene, or they can use AI to generate the "stadium audience" at the desired angle and use it as a long-range material in the picture.

In addition, LEVEL-5 will also use a large number of settings generated by ChatGPT as a reference, fill in the temporary version of the game with the lines generated by VOICEVOX to easily confirm the effect, use tools such as Genie AI to assist in programming, or use AI to increase the resolution of the previous materials to high-definition, and even use AI to simulate the effect first when setting up the stage for offline events.

The 15th anniversary image of "Inazuma Eleven" also uses AI-generated effect reference images first

From this information, it seems that LEVEL-5 has a very deep use of AI, but it does not stifle their original ideas or create copyright risks, as many people fear. The fact that it can appear as a positive case at a government meeting to discuss AI property rights norms also shows that the pros and cons of AI ultimately depend on its users.

This new expansion gives Kratos more new weapons, new abilities, and most importantly, a meat pigeon mode. So that after clearing the game and finding all the collectibles, players can still have a place to continue to control Kui Ye's killing.

Even in this content, Tyr, the Norse god of war, who has no combat scenes at all, finally picked up a weapon in the "Valhalla" DLC, becoming the final boss in the new content and the player-controlled Greek god of war to break his wrists, which can be regarded as a big regret in the process of the game.
