What does having friends on Steam do? What does it make available?

I am in the RPGHQ steam group, however.. No-one will be able to find me..

Well, now they will just by process of elimination.

[rusty_shackleford]

people on this forum not adding me as a steam friend despite putting my friend code in my signature is very disappointing

To be fair it's a bit presumptive to add someone as a friend when they probably don't like you.

why does everyone think I don't like them?

Well, honestly @Vergil may have a reason to think so.

not reading all this **** because I really don't care about your opinion on anything now tbh

You are a coward who cannot answer because it will reveal you are full of ****.

You claim that the law of the land is the basis of the rule set here. Would you allow any videos, gifs, images etc. of things that are publicly posted and legal under US law that could be found on any mainstream legal pornography site to be posted?

I just don't like you. If you have a problem, report it, otherwise I'd prefer not to interact with you.

You mean after he spent an extensive period of time purposely trying to **** me off?

I don't think any actions I've taken afterwards have endeared myself to you since then so I assume those feelings still stand.

One time I almost played a game with Rusty but he was too shy to use voice chat so he left. All invites since have been declined.

It was sarcasm.
As to Steam friends, easy to see when people are online, instant chat, see what games they're playing and join it (and invite others to the same game with a click).

The tone in most of @loregamer's videos was the old Steam message received sound, for a long time.

I think Rusty likes everyone here. (The ones who give him shekels the most tho)

Voice actors go on strike



What will happen to our video games without them, oh, voice actors? it's so ******* over isn't it, we got too cocky bros...

[Oyster Sauce]

Refusing to work to get devs to not replace them with AI

[Finarfin]

Kek, as if devs suddenly have no alternative. They either get non union actors or just straight up say go **** yourself and use AI

[gerey]

I pray to God the strike lasts for years.

[Val the Moofia Boss]

Aren't the American voice actors always going on strike?

[LemonDemonGirl]

Oh no!
Anyway....

Yeah, if @orinEsque can learn to do what she did with modern primitive voice AI in a few months, in 10 years human actors will just be an annoying waste of time to directors.

What I did was Speech to Speech. You very much need a voice actor for that. But if text to speech AI like Eleven labs becomes really good in 10 years, yeah voice actors might lose their jobs. At most people with nice voices and no acting skills will be asked to come in and record lines for training AI models.

[rusty_shackleford]

Some voice actors with good voices will probably end up making more with less work just by licensing their voices. Off the top of my head, the Jensen guy and the Geralt guy, obviously. Anyone who can do a wide range of good voices would probably make a lot of money by virtue of simply charging less than paying for multiple voices and getting a lot of customers. Anyone who can do official sounding voiceover work.
It's also already good enough to replace voice actors for anything but big budget games where minor mistakes wouldn't be accepted.

Please don't get my hopes up, my heart can't take it.

[LemonDemonGirl]

Yeah ai voices aren't THAT good yet. Any character who has a voice effect/accent will heavily **** up the ai.
As for ai singing? **** it, there's Suno.

Speech to speech is VERY good with accents BUT you have to be able to act out the accent . Text to AI is pretty bad with accent it unless the model was very specifically trained to have an accent. Overall, worst is sound effects. Laughing, crying, sobbing etc, screaming... just bad.

No need for a singing AI as long as we got those prime pieces:
