Erica Lindbeck Harassed For Not Consenting To AI Voice Covers, Deletes Twitter Account

Voice actress Erica Lindbeck has deleted her Twitter account, following harassment by AI Art fans over an “AI cover” featuring Futaba from Persona 5.

It all started with one fan who’d uploaded an “AI cover”, that is to say, a voice impersonation of Lindbeck singing the song Welcome to the Internet.

Given seeing your voice used against your will is naturally quite a violating experience, Lindbeck as well as other figures in the industry spoke out against it, asking for the cover to be taken down.
It should be noted that since she has deleted her Twitter account, her comments on the matter are currently unavailable, though the many tweets in support of her are.

“To the person who stole my friend’s voice, fuck you. Delete this shit and never do this again“, writes fellow voice actor Ben Diskin.
While the original uploader of the video complied with the requests and took it down, AI Art enthusiasts believed it their right to use other people’s voices to say what they want, and began harassing her while also re-uploading the video.

Mfs really harassed Erica Lindbeck off of Twitter because she requested AI covers using her voice be removed from YouTube. These same assholes decided they’re going to reupload them to the platform after the individual took them down. pic.twitter.com/byxU1Ospe4

Despite Erica Lindbeck having deleted the account, fans and friends have rallied in support of her, shaming the AI Cover supporters for their actions.
“Correction – you’d understand her side if you had anything resembling empathy. Jesus you guys ran Erica Lindbeck off twitter. One of the nicest fucking people. Be ashamed”, writes YuGiOh The Abridged Series creator LittleKuriboh.
AI Advocates- Fans Or Vultures?
AI discussions have become a central part of discourse in nearly every creative industry- on the business side, sites like Jezebel and Gizmodo are dealing with corporate interests who see the tool as a way to cheap out on paying for writers.
This extends to the Writers Guild of America, who have regulating the use of AI among the terms of their ongoing strike, while huge companies like Disney use the technology for shows like Secret Invasion.
On the fan side, there’s also the case of bodily autonomy- if an says they don’t like what you’re doing with their work, that boundary needs to be respected, especially when it’s something as personal as a voice.
The harassment Lindbeck faces also shines an ugly light on the nature of AI advocates- despite being “fans” enough to want to use Lindbeck’s voice, there’s an alarming lack of respect when she uses it herself to tell them to stop.

Niantic revokes legendary Pokémon from Trainers

With the lack of a good tracking system Pokémon are already hard to find, let alone legendary Pokémon. But hey, let the Coveys prove you wrong! Somewhere in Ohio they managed to catch Articuno, a legendary ice/bird type Pokémon.

This caused an uproar on Facebook when they posted it up, many argued about its legitimacy and demanded for proof from the Coveys. In response, the Coveys claimed that Niantic were the ones who sent them the Articuno.
Until Niantic decided to take it back. Niantic stated to IGN:

“We recently noticed that a few Legendary Pokemon got into a few accounts when they shouldn’t have, To preserve the game’s integrity and as a measure of fairness, we have rectified the situation and revoked the legendary Pokemon from the Trainers’ accounts.”
Turns out the Articunos that the Coveys claimed they caught (or was gifted to by Niantic) was a scam.
One of the Coveys, Kaitlyn commented on Facebook saying “#Niantic gifted me with him” and “It is simply the truth!”. The Coveys even live-streamed their Articuno and the email that was allegedly sent by Niantic.

Hilarious. The word “Articuno” in the email was mispelled as “Articundo” and if that’s not fake, I don’t know what is. Well, at least they tried.

New A Certain Magical Index mobile game set to launch on 4 July 2019

Square Enix has confirmed that A Certain Magical Index Imaginary Fest will be launching on 4 July 2019. The game was first announced for iOS and Android back in January 2019 and will finally be available in Japan soon.

A Certain Magical Index Imaginary Fest is a game based on the A Certain Magical Index series. It’s a card battle game where you play on a five-card grid on each side using up to three characters. Each character has an attack “direction”, meaning you need to move your cards around to attack and avoid being attacked.

The game uses rather good looking 3D models of characters from the series. Each of them come with different skills and unique attacks, which can affect how a battle proceeds.

Twisted Wonderland English adds pre-registration rewards up to 50k

The English release of Twisted Wonderland hit its initial 30,000 pre-registration milestone, and have since added some more rewards up to the 50,000 mark. It’s somewhat funny to think that the Japanese release went all the way up to 1.4 million due to how hyped it was, but then again, the initial reveal was early 2019 before finally launching in 2020.

In any case, Twisted Wonderland is offering its English players the following pre-registration rewards, new additions in bold:

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

A new trailer for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak has been released as part of the Nintendo Direct Mini showcasing more of the new monsters and content you can expect from the game when it releases on the 30th of June 2022.

The trailer gives up a good look at the new monsters being added to the expansion.

Shagaru Magala

The form taken by Gore Magala once they mature and molt. Gorgeous, glittering scales cover Shagaru Magala, and their divine wings are large enough to wrap around their entire body. According to records, one was once said to have scattered its black scales over an area the size of a mountain, annihilating any and all lifeforms inhabiting that region.

Scorned Magnamalo

A Magnamalo variant that achieves an even more twisted, malevolent form. Shrouded in Hellfire at all times, they also boast larger arm blades and harder armor plating. During battles, they have been spotted focusing their Hellfire and swinging it like a blade.

Furious Rajang

A Rajang variant covered in golden fur. Normally Rajang returns to their black-furred state after being agitated for a time to conserve energy, but these beasts have lost the ability to curb their anger. Outclassing the standard Rajang’s attack power, they assault with seething rage. At the apex of their fury, they become enraged and turn into destructive demons with electrified manes.

Capcom has also uploaded a new trailer promoting the upcoming Black Belt S Armor and High-Rank Defender Weapon Tree.

If you’re looking to jump right into the new content added in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, the developers reccomend completing the 7 star  Hub Quest “Serpent Goddess of Thunder” from the base games.
You can easily complete the quest using powerful armor that will be released to hunters for free, and will help you to quickly advance the progress of “Monster Hunter Rise” and enjoy Sunbreak’s new hunting experience earlier. You can claim these from Senri the Mailman as soon as you start the game.
This armor includes the Black Belt S which has a defense of 330 (360 when upgraded to maximum). The 14 “Defender” weapons, which are already available in the game, will also get a high rank upgrade tree. If you keep upgrading these weapons as you complete quests, they will become powerful enough to face even high rank monsters.

Capcom also says they are planning multiple, free post-release title updates for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.
Title Update 1 will introduce a new locale known as the “Forlorn Arena,” as well as rare species such as Lucent Nargacuga and Seething Bazelgeuse, among others.

Monster Hunter Rise is available for Switch and PC. The new expansion Sunbreak will be released on the 30th of June.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled coming next year

Remember the good old days when Crash Team Racing reigned as one of the best racing games on the original Playstation? If no, then the opportunity has arrived. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled will bring back the nostalgia next year.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is the HD remaster of the original game on the Playstation. Earlier today, Activision announced the game during The Game Awards 2018. A rather talkative, yet disturbing Crash Bandicoot appeared on the show before they played the trailer.

Based on the trailer, the game features major improvements in terms of graphics compared to the original as expected of a remaster. In general, the game did not change much as a whole. It features the same mechanics from the original, keeping the same fun and excitement. On the other hand, the remaster will have an online mode in addition to the offline mode which allows players to compete with others worldwide. The remaster will also come with new animations and personality that the original could not convey

The game will launch on the 21st June 2019. It will be available for the Playstation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

Anthem Streamer breaks NDA, loses entire Origin Library

Non-Disclosure Agreements (aka NDA) are always present for a good reason. In the gaming industry, they protect the unreleased games by restricting information and leaks prior to release. As a result, breaking the agreements tend to land the violator in a whole lot of trouble. Unfortunately, one of the participants from the closed alpha test of Anthem did not get the memo.

In this case, the participant (or violator) live streamed his gameplay on Twitch. The action was a clear violation of the NDA. Shortly after, the streamer’s Origin app crashed. After relaunching Origin, the streamer found out that not only was Anthem missing from his library, his entire library disappeared as well. Currently, it is unclear how EA made swift work of the NDA breaker or whether the ban is temporary or not. You can check out the video below:

This is not the first time a company took this sort of action on NDA breakers. Not too long ago, Bethesda and Microsoft joined forces to take down an NDA breaker that leaked gameplay footage of Fallout 76. In conclusion, it resulted in the violator receiving bans from the beta and Xbox accounts.
Due to this incident, we highly recommend beta testers to not break their NDA regardless of the game or situation. The consequences tend to be not worth the risk.

Do Pokemon and Other Modern Video Games Need Voice Acting?

This article on ‘Do Pokemon and Other Modern Video Games Need Voice Acting’ was available a week earlier through the Gamerbraves Newsletter. Sign up for free to gain access to more articles about news and trends in the gaming industry and community.

Original Article: It really says something about video games that we now have awards for the best people to voice a character in one. Where video game characters can become iconic from their voice alone. Even Mario, who still doesn’t speak in full dialogue, likely wouldn’t be quite the worldwide sensation without the “wahoos!” of Charles Martinet.

Pokemon is the highest-grossing media franchise of all time and with Scarlet and Violet now released, there’s been something on my mind regarding the game: should it have full voice acting?
It’s not just Pokemon either, Square Enix’s latest RPG Havestella also lacks full voice acting with many players feeling something is missing from the title as a result.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves

Tweet to @GamerBraves

I can understand why developers may not see the need to have voice acting in their games. Hiring voice actors can be expensive, it also means that animations may have to be changed to match up to the voice acting. There’s also the fact that less story-oriented games may not even need voice acting as they often don’t have a lot of dialogue. You can even argue this applies to Pokemon when much of its dialogue often includes lines like “I like shorts because they’re comfy to wear.”
Despite this though, I’d argue that a game series like Pokemon would actually benefit from voice acting and that’s in part because of how good the game’s design and the world are.
The importance of voice acting
Much of this conversation stems from a recent trailer for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet featuring the new Gym Leader Iono:

Other than Pokemon suddenly unleashing streamers into their world, many noticed that Iono was fully voiced in the trailer and she sounded great. Hearing Iono talk and work the crowd added a certain energy to the new Pokemon that made it sound more exciting.
In general, there are two main benefits of voice acting. The first is that it’s better at maintaining the viewer’s attention. In a video game, that has both a visual and interactive aspect, it can be easy for players to be distracted away from the dialogue. Voice acting can help maintain their attention as the words are quite literally spoken to them.
The more important benefit, however, is expression. Simply by hearing a character’s voice, you get a better idea of their personality which allows you to get more invested in their story. Many of the most popular characters in gaming were made iconic for their voices. When you think of Solid Snake, you think David Hayter, when you think of Dante, you think Rueben Langdon. Kira Buckland, who voiced 2B in Nier Automata was so well-received that she’s been typed cast as a number of other cold, cool-headed assassin roles.
Games Without Voice Acting
Pokemon Black And White (2010)
The counterpoint to this is that plenty of other games have well-developed characters or moving storylines, without needing voice acting (I mean books have been doing it for thousands of years). To this day most Pokemon fans say that the best games in the series were the DS games: Pokemon Platinum, Heart Gold, Black and White, and Black and White 2. The latter two are especially important as they’re fondly remembered for having some of the best stories and characters in the franchise, despite there being no voice acting.
Likewise, many older RPGs like Chrono Trigger, Earthbound and Final Fantasy 1-9 also lacked speaking roles yet were able to bring people to tears back in the day. Other aspects of these games like their heart-filled soundtracks and character animation made up for the lack of voice acting.
If they can do it, then why can’t Pokemon continue to do so, especially if it means they can focus on more important elements like the gameplay? When you add one new element to a game, less time can be given to another so it makes sense that Pokemon would want to focus more on the main appeal of the game: catching the pocket monsters.
Times Have Changed
While it is true that many classic games of old were able to bring out emotion without voice acting we should also be acknowledged how the times, and especially graphics have changed.
Final Fantasy VI (1994)
There’s a reason that classic Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest didn’t have voice acting but their modern iterations do. In older games, voice acting was not always possible and games made use of sprites or lower-res polygons, with the characters often not even having visible mouths half of the time. This meant that animators had to rely more on exaggerated body language to convey their personalities. Voice acting was less important, partly because it was harder to do and partially because expression could be done in other ways.
Pokemon Sword and Shield (2019)

In modern times, however, character models, even more, stylized models, are far cleaner and make more human-like movements. You can now see the Pokemon characters in Sword and Shield as well as Legends Arceus actually moving their mouths, singing, gesturing, and shouting. The characters look great, yet there’s no actual sound coming from them.
It feels like they should be speaking. Ken Sugimori’s character designs are so memorable and eye-catching but it often feels like there’s something missing from them when these cool designs aren’t backed up by cool voice acting. Even the mobile gacha game Pokemon Masters EX seems to understand this as it gives each of the various Pokewaifus voice clips.
Closing Thoughts
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (2022)
To be clear, I do like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet overall in spite of its many issues. With that being said, however, I do think it would benefit from the use of voice acting (alongside some performance patches).
A lot of Nintendo franchises like Splatoon, Animal Crossing, and Pikmin actually use a sort of gibberish language for their characters. Even though you can’t understand what they’re saying, when one of your villagers in Animal Crossing is sad, you can tell that they’re sad. I wouldn’t mind if Pokemon did something similar if they’d prefer not to have full-on acting. The important thing here is that they’re able to have more expansive emotions and their mouths aren’t just miming words.
Not every game needs voice acting but for games with such good character designs, expressive facial features, and a lot of dialogue, there’s no harm in the characters being able to speak for themselves.

When training at a friendly Gym, you’ll be able to bring six Pokémon instead of just one to battle. Also, the CP of the Pokémon you’re training against will be temporarily lowered to match your Pokémon’s capabilities. This would make Gym training much easier, and better for those who were discouraged fighting impossible battles.

Predator Helios 300 2022 Review – Welcome back old friend

Everyone say welcome back to the Predator Helios 300! This model of laptop has been refreshed year on year, and with good reason. The old reliable workhorse will not be losing out to its fancier brethren just yet. That said, it still needs to prove itself, so let’s see what the new year, new me brings.

LOOKING IT OVER: THE FAMILIAR STYLE
Aesthetically speaking, it’s the ever familiar and recognizable Predator line design. It’s still the sleek, mostly understated black aluminum colour and stylized, illuminated Predator logo on the lid. The 2022 model has forgone the stripes of the 2021 version on either side of the laptop, making for a much cleaner look.

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

As mentioned, the logo is illuminated with a fetching blue backlight when the laptop is turned on. It’s a chunky beauty, really, seeing that it weighs in at 2.6kg at 25.9mm thickness. Pack in the charger, and it goes up to a whopping 3.5kg.

Follow us on Twitter

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Granted, the laptop does make it worth your time, as the sheer array of I/O ports can put most other laptops to shame. Two USB Type-A ports grace the right side, one supporting USB3.2 Gen1 and the other, USB3.2 Gen2. On the left, we get a USB3.2 Gen2 USB-A, RJ-45 Ethernet, as well as a two-in-one 3.5mm Audio Jack. Last but not least, the back has more ports too, packing a Thunderbolt™ 4 USB-C, an HDMI 2.1and a Mini DisplayPort 1.4.
Any data transfer demands, or better support for an external ultra-HD display you have should be pretty comfortably put to rest with this line-up. The only thing lacking would be only having the one Thunderbolt 4 port.
The laptop’s cooling has been incorporated into the design with symmetrical air vents placed on the left, right and rear. The dual cooling fans can be seen at the bottom. One last detailing is the RGB light strip, sharing the same settings as the keyboard.

KEYBOARD: INPUT IS A-GO
As with the laptop itself, the keyboard is also aluminum alloy. It provides some great key feedback with relatively quick and strong rebound, while making minimal sound. Now, I personally would prefer some click but that’s from being used to a full-sized mechanical keyboard. Whether for work and play, the responsiveness is great and makes for an excellent experience. Like, gaming wise, the Turbo mode shortcut is right at the top so hit that once you’re ready to start going hard to get the laptop whirring at peak performance and cooling.

The power button is placed on the top right, with more shortcuts in three additional media control buttons. The Predator Logo button graces the numpad, this one opening the Predator Control Center for the typical laptop functionality customization – performance, fans, lighting, for example – for quick access to your tweaks.
One would be remiss not to have RGB lighting for the Gamers, and the Predator Helios 300 offers four areas for you to fiddle the backlight for. I can’t imagine having four zones of clashing colours, but that will be an option. Each keycap has individual mini LEDs so each key can afford to be lit independently while remaining energy efficient and uniformly lit. You really can try changing the colours of each individual key if you so wish.
As a whole, the keyboard has gotten an overhaul to offer more form and function.
DISPLAY: WINDOW TO THE WORLD
It’s time to look up, to the panel you’re going to be spending most of your time looking at. The 15.6-inch QHD (2560×1440) resolution panel has narrow bezels all round (except the bottom), with the top housing a 1080P camera which should be well suited for every day use.
Rest assured the laptop does have the display features for your gaming needs: 165Hz refresh rate, 3ms of low latency response, and NVIDIA® Advance Optimus® support just to name what I’d consider the key points. With this tech assisting you, you can only improve in your own response times when you start getting in the zone for competition.

That’s not all the features you would hope in a panel, of course. I’m sure you’d expect nice colours, comfort where you can find it, high resolution… and yes, you can find it here: 100% DCI-P3 wide color gamut display, Acer’s proprietary ComfyView LED-backlit TFT LCD and up to 2K resolution support. So long something you play or watch has support for it, you can just throw it on and see the beauty.
COOLING: STAYING FROSTY
While the Predator Helios 300 chugs away, it avoids becoming a toaster with the use of 5th Gen AeroBlade™ 3D Fan Technology as well as Liquid Metal Thermal Grease for a nicely cooled machine. You won’t be feeling any of that heat as you use the keyboard though a word of caution regardless. The cooling system is located at the upper left corner of the keyboard, so that might get too hot for your taste.
The 5th Gen AeroBlade™ 3D Fans are thinner and feature 89 blades of serrated design to improve heat transfer by up to 55% when compared to regular fans. Depending on your personal tolerance for fan cooling sounds, you might opt for headphones once the fans really get going.

BATTERY LIFE: LIGHTS ON
A 90Whr battery can last you about 4 hours in a normal use test. The laptop makes up for it in charging speed, capable of getting from 17% to 83% in roughly an hour thanks to the 230W AC Adapter.
AUDIO: SOUND OF MUSIC
After much detail being lavished on the display, having that backed up with some quality sound will only elevate the viewing experience. Now, you might think having the speakers on the bottom might warp the sound quality. That’s not the case here, wonderfully enough! DTS: X® Ultra Audio makes sound much louder and clearer, with a great stereo surround sound effect for increased precision even without a headset plugged in.

PREDATORSENSE: STALWART SOFTWARE
The companion application’s functions are as familiar as ever with easy access through the keyboard shortcut button, or launching it from the laptop. Tweak a variety of settings as you like in performance modes, fan speed, or a simple software search, all easily accessible from here. The RGB lighting can also be customized via Pulsar Lighting. For reference, here are the modes available:

Quiet: Keep the PC as quiet as possible. For light use, such as meetings, E-learning or browsing.
Default: Recommended for standard, everyday use. Word processing, office work, etc.
Extreme: For Gaming. Overclock CPU & GPU for additional performance. Limits fan speed.
Turbo: For unleashed gaming. Max overclock and fan speed.

THE NUMBERS GAME: PERFORMANCE TESTS
With all that said and done, it’s time for the actual benchmarks. First off, the basic Predator Helios 300 specs:

12th generation Intel® Core™ i7-12700H processor
NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX™ 3070 Ti
16GB DDR5 SDRAM
1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD

Et voila, and here are are the numbers for operational efficiency across different benchmarking software:
3DMARK: 10,315

PCMARK 10: 6,504

VRMARK: 10,299

As for games, all of these were tested with the highest graphics settings possible. If DLSS support is available alongside ray tracing, both will also be enabled.
DAYS GONE
The game can play at a stable 100 FPS, while Turbo Mode can further boost that to a cool 135 FPS, so surviving the zombie apocalypse will be no problem.

GHOSTWIRE: TOKYO
The streets of Tokyo are rendered gorgeously with DLSS and ray tracing enabled. With these settings, the game runs at 75FPS, while Turbo Mode bumps this to 85 FPS.

DYING LIGHT 2
Much like the game’s name, Dying Light 2 can make a lot of machines buckle. The Predator Helios 300 manages a very respectable 40 FPS, hitting 50 FPS when on Turbo Mode.

APEX LEGENDS
You definitely want every frame for a competitive game like this. At 120 FPS, I don’t think you’d have any complaint.

CLOSING THOUGHTS
As a whole, I like the more streamlined design of the Predator Helios 300, incorporating an impressive array of I/O ports to meet just about every external device you’d like. Packing hardware such as a 12th generation Intel processor and 3070 Ti graphics card, performance is essentially assured. To keep the high powered innards going, the sound of the cooling system going at it will be a compromise you’ll have to make.
Nonetheless, the Predator Helios 300 is keeping up with the times for this 2022 refresh, so by all means, stick with the old reliable for another year!

Once your character is chosen, players will jump into action fighting enemies and a boss. One interesting feature of the game is that there are no gears or equipment which you can equip and there are no stats. The game is all about a player’s skill and control of the game though there are skills and talents which players can customize that is based on the players’ playstyle and preference.
The game will be available for PC and Android and iOS devices in the future. However currently the OBT is not available for the iOS. So if you’d like to try the game out, go to their official website and download it from there.
