86: Pinball vs AI vs Cale vs Jason
Cale and I go hard af on AI in multiple ways and talk about a lot of recent games from Evil Dead, to Dune, to Harry Potter, to King Kong...speculate more over The Walking Dead Re-Bludgeon. Was the SAM era the best or are we just idiots? Find out how dumb we are!
Kineticist’s take
Evil Dead praised as Spooky's quality breakthrough; Harry Potter criticized for AI art and internal morale issues at JJP.
Synopsis
In this episode of Pinball Party Podcast, hosts discuss their recent location play experiences comparing multiple recent releases (Dune, King Kong, Evil Dead, Walking Dead, Ghostbusters, X-Men, etc.). The primary focus shifts to praising Spooky Pinball's Evil Dead as a reliability and quality breakthrough, contrasting sharply with concerns about Jersey Jack Pinball's Harry Potter release: which allegedly used AI-generated artwork without proper disclosure, sparking artist concerns and potential morale issues at JJP including the departure of marketing lead Ken during launch.
