Woah now... It's Cook for everyone scrubbing through

[@glasscube6391]

I beg to differ. The game is called Alpha Birds after all 😉

[@ThorAxiun]

I saw this comment before watching the video and I was like "huh?" Then it happened and I just died laughing

[@mikaeki5245]

​@@ThorAxiun The same. I put the video on, put looked at it the first time "it" was spelled on the screen 😂

[@octopuppet4874]

I was too distracted by the upside down K until he fixed it lol

[@littleceasar9351]

Oh my…

[@bloodrunsclear]

‘A magical land called Mexico’ Wait…that was never real?? 😮

[@JamesMarmalade]

Neodreams is raising a ton of Generative AI art red flags for me.

[@argetlam42]

Yeah, me too. There are artists listed, but that doesn't mean that they didn't use any. Because of that alone, I'm going to give this game a pass.

[@SleepyVoice]

@@argetlam42 So you’re choosing to boycott a game purely based on speculation that AI-generated art might have been used, even though named artists are credited? Interesting stance. If artists actually contributed, why assume their work is less valuable just because AI may have been part of the process? AI has been used in digital art for years, whether through Photoshop’s content-aware tools, procedural generation, or other digital assistance. Where do you draw the line? If you actually research AI’s role in art history, you’ll find the boundary is much finer than you might think. It’s one thing to have an opinion, but making sweeping judgments without understanding the full picture? That’s a slippery slope. And of course, I wrote this with AI. Or maybe an AI wrote it all by itself to defend its kind online? Who knows.

That neodream game seems really neat

[@Naeddyr]

Tivoli seems like it's a tie-in with the Tivoli amusement park in Copenhagen, or a licensed game based on that property, so with that in mind at least it's not a full on roll and move game.

[@littleceasar9351]

Tivoli is really cool. Especially at Christmas time.

[@Darksbane100]

Since Spirit Duels is based on Star Wars Destiny I'm surprised Tom didn't like it more since his review of Destiny was generally positive. I haven't played Spirit Duels though so perhaps they didn't reimplement Destiny's mechanics well or the balance was off.

[@milest4214]

Spirit Duels is really fun, I suggest giving it a go. This is better than Lorcana IMO.

[@JorWat25]

What's "Super Mario Bros. Bash"? Do you mean "Super Smash Bros."?

[@thedicetower]

YES I'm a moron and I forgot the name

[@RubyRevolution2015]

Tivoli is pronounced: ti·vuh·lee

[@Iparbuvesz]

First!

[@foxbear60]

Congrats! You should play a board game to celebrate! 😀

[@ThorAxiun]

Your profile picture is adorable ​@@foxbear60

[@foxbear60]

@ThorAxiun - 😊 Well thanks! Red Pandas are known as foxbears in some regions.

[@jakezamira1584]

Super Mario bash huh? Edit: corrected later in the review.

[@ThorAxiun]

@@foxbear60 I knew it was a Red Panda but had not heard about foxbears. Today I learned! Thanks friendo ☺
