Óscar Bartolomé is a tweeter with more than 14,000 followers who defines himself as an ‘AI artist, prompt engineer and SEO consultant’ and who, last Thursday, started a controversy on the social network user) from a ‘prompt’ of his, considering that he should be “cited as author”.
It seems that numerous users were offended by this approach from Bartolomé, who had previously gotten into discussions about whether AI plagiarizes non-AI artists: They did not understand that a defender of generative AIs now claimed the copyright of works… derived from a text string.
So the next tweet in the thread was dedicated to “all the illustrators and cartoonists who come here to insult me (…) I’m sorry for you, but AI is here to stay (…) the AI will trample you. Good luck fighting progress. You will need it”.
That tweet now includes a ‘Community Note’ that links to an article reminding us that images generated by AI lack copyright protection (it refers to the US… but the same thing happens in Spain). ), so you can’t claim authorship.
But Bartolomé did not give up, and continued the thread by publishing this last Saturday:
“I just watched an episode of One Piece and I wanted to represent what’s happening here with an AI-generated image, for the enjoyment of my fans.”
And this is where @Pandandwolf, also known as José B. Rebolledo, comes in, who, highlighting a fragment of the image generated by Bartolomé (which read a large ‘Wanted’), asked him to learn ” to color correctly or (…) to draw, to begin with”.
Think carefully before you tweet
“Not even in your dreams would you be able to make an illustration like this”, answered Bartholomew. That, which could be true for ordinary mortals, proved to be a poorly thought-out statement in this specific case, as was made clear with Rebolledo’s response:
“I can do more than that, I can encourage her: because I have already worked as an animator for ‘One Piece’moron”.
And in case there was any doubt, the statement was accompanied by a screenshot of the credits of one of the chapters of the series. Specifically, from number 1,066, issued on June 25 in Japan:
It was a historic episode, because it was the first time that a foreigner (a Briton) directed an episode of one of the most successful anime in the Japanese industry. But there was also foreigners among the entertainers, among them, Rebolledo, who when the episode in question premiered was working for the series ‘What If…?’ from Marvel Studios.
Rebolledo’s response It reached more than 29,000 retweets, 162,000 likes and 9 million impressions before the animator chose to delete it:
“I don’t like being the center of attention for being toxic on Twitter (…) Keep watching One Piece, made by humans for humans.”
Aggro Crab is living a desperate situation. His offices, located in the city of Seattle, are the target of a series of attacks that seriously hinder the development of the nice indie game Another Crab’s Treasure. According to members of the company (via GamesRadar+), they are already three times that the team finds the door to his studio smashed into pieces; something that is complemented by theft of computer equipment.
On January 24, Aggro Crab posted a message on our Xbox controllers and some SSDs“. In the attached image (and modified to bring some iron out of the matter) it can be seen perfectly a completely broken glass door. The studio goes on to ensure that they have taken out insurance for these cases and, to make matters worse, they explain that this is not the first time they have gone through this situation: “If they gave me a penny for every time we have been robbed during development, I would have two cents. Which isn’t much, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.”
And it doesn’t end here, as another forced entry into the office was reported today. Although Aggro Crab does not specify if any theft has occurred on this third occasion, the image attached in its X publication demonstrates that an individual he broke the glass door again: “Does anyone have an office that is not made of glass, please,” add the members of the study on the social network.
The creators of Astroneer pitch in
Luckily, there is another indie studio in Seattle that has heard about everything that happened in the Aggro Crab offices and has decided to lend a hand to its colleagues: “The Astroneer team (System Era Softworks) has passed and they have lent us some security cameras and development hardware. Thank you very much, guys.” Let’s hope this latest measure deters thieves from breaking into Aggro Crab’s studio again, since, apparently, this goes beyond bad luck.
In 2014, the analysis firm Gotham Research pointed out Gowex as a fraud whose accounts were falsified, bringing its value to 0, bringing down the entire company and ending the bones of its CEO, Jenaro García, in prison.
Ten years later, Gotham points this time to Grifols as the next company whose shares will lose all their value. Grifols, whose market capitalization before this news was known is around 9,000 million euros, is a company that develops plasma-derived medicines and transfusion diagnostic solutions.
Anticipates an action that will reach 0
The causes of this accusation by Gotham are not very comparable to those made at the time against Gowex, although the effects will probably be similar. This time, Gotham explains that Grifols manipulates its reported debt and its EBITDA (gross operating profit).
In this way, according to the firm, would artificially reduce your leveragesetting it at 6x, when according to their estimates it would be much higher, between 10x and 13x.
The report reflects a series of movements between Grifols and Scranton Enterprises, a family vehicle that is the majority shareholder of the company, aimed at covering up the former’s accounts. For example, with a loan from the first to the second worth $95 million in 2018 that appears in Scranton’s presentations, but not in those of Grifols. Scranton would have, according to this analysis, a leverage that is still much higher than Grifols’ actual leverage, which is 27x.
Gotham draws a simile with the case of NMC Health, an international healthcare group controlled by investors from the United Arab Emirates that went bankrupt in 2020. On that occasion it was also accused by bearish firms of falsifying its accounts, as is now the case with Grifols.
Gotham, as a bearish firm, tracks companies for suspected irregularities in their accounts. When he discovers them, he invests short (against) those companies before making his discovery public. If the stock falls or loses all value, as happened with Gowex, Gotham makes a profit.
Just a few days ago we learned that Grifols was moving towards reducing its debt with the sale of 20% of its Chinese business, which was going to cost it around 1.8 billion dollars. The company is one of the most indebted on the IBEX, close to 10,000 million euros.
This level of debt has led to several stock market punishments in recent years that have been jibarizing the value of its action. From its all-time high in February 2020, higher than 34 euros per title to the slightly more than 14 at which it was trading in the hours prior to hearing this news… and we will have to see how it evolves in the coming days, starting today same.
Never has the name ‘Operación Triunfo’ done so much justice to the well-known talent-reality show. The program, together with the platform that broadcasts it (Amazon Prime Video), has as its faithful objective lay the foundations by taking a stab at DTT with a format that until now they had exploited for two decades.
‘OT 2023’ is not the first reality show to be broadcast on streaming, although it is the first of the large formats and it emerged in 2001, a year after the success of the father of all reality shows, ‘Big Brother’. And the truth is that On paper, the idea seems at least right.. And we are already beginning to verify it.
A format that only needed streaming to try
A fresh Carlos Lozano, pardon the redundancy, welcomed a new and ultimately revolutionary format at the beginning of the century. ‘Operación Triunfo’ made its first appearance on TVE (it was not yet officially called ‘La 1’) and would remain on the free-to-air public television network until its third edition.

In 2005, already in the fourth edition, Jesús Vázquez took over from Carlos Lozano and Telecinco from TVE. Mediaset took over the rights to a program that It already experienced a supposed definitive end in 2011. What was already the eighth edition of the format in Spain closed early before a disastrous audience already exhausted after 11 uninterrupted years of broadcasts in an edition that, with Pilar Rubio at the helm, intended to give fresh air to a format that was already exhausted.
In 2017 we experienced a second boom with ‘OT 2017’. A completely renewed format that returned home, again on La 1 and this time with the Sevillian Roberto Leal as master of ceremonies. Such was the success that not a year had passed and ‘OT 2018’ was already born on the same network.
‘OT 2020’ was the last edition of the program on open television (Image: RTVE)
In order not to burn the format again prematurely, the format was given a one-year break, returning with an edition that had to be paralyzed for a few months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. If it was already a lower audience edition, this pandemic break caused it to achieve the worst audience records in the history of the format, both in screen share and number of viewers.
This week the twelfth edition of the format began its journey and the first in streaming through Amazon Prime Video. Chenoa, who was the fourth classified in the first edition and now an established singer and presenter, is now in charge of being the master of ceremonies of a format in a field to explore.
Television has been evolving and so have we
During this time in which different editions of ‘OT’ have been happening, everything has changed. Free-to-air TV was opened to DTT fifteen years ago, streaming has been gaining ground for almost a decade and hence free-to-air audiences are no longer what they were before. Not even in the formats that now bring together a greater share of the screen.
Evolution of audiences for the editions of ‘OT’ from 2001 to 2020
This is something we observed even in ‘OT 2017’, the “modern” benchmark for the program’s success. Its 19.7% screen share is not by far the best in the format, nor is its viewer data. But of course, we have changed too.
You could say that the new generation of ‘OT’ is also aimed at a new generation. To a generation of audiences that no longer consumes as much open television and may not even consume it at all. To the TikTok generation that lives up to its name by “living” on social networks and that has its entertainment in streaming.
Relying on social networks and other platforms was already the order of the day
Renewed or die It is a slogan that permeates practically every area of our personal and professional lives. At the business level too. If a television producer wants his program to be profitable, he must know how to adapt to the times. Gestmusic, producer of ‘OT’ belonging to the Endemol group, was aware of this.
‘OT 2023’ section in the Prime Video app
So, Already in the 2017 open edition we saw clear signs of modernization in view of relying on social networks. Much of the success of the edition was fundamentally due to social networks, where the official accounts of the program not only dedicated space and time, but also promoted it so that the viewer felt involved.
Because programs of this caliber are not just your weekly gala broadcasts, but they are much more. And in times when we want to be aware of absolutely everything, offer a free 24-hour channel It is also key to success. Because yes, we already said at the beginning that ‘OT’ is a talent show because in the end that is the essence, but it also has a lot of reality.
To this is also added the participation and direct decisions of the public via app. ‘OT’ offers a mobile application in which not only is content in the form of video, images and text about the contest offered, but also the possibility of choosing favorites or expelling contestants. In fact, they are the fundamental pillars. That Prime Video has also welcomed and multiplied it.
At the moment, almost everything is advantages
‘OT 2023’ has started with a completely dedicated Amazon Prime Video. This is how we see even a section on the platform dedicated to the program. Although at this moment excerpts from complete performances and so on are missing (something that may be added later), the truth is that it looks quite complete.
24 hours of ‘OT 2023’ channel on YouTube
In that section you can watch live or delayed galas and special programs. Not only do they continue to offer the free 24-hour channel on YouTube or the application with identical features, but in order to keep the program on everyone’s lips every day, they will also broadcast a daily magazine from Tuesday to Saturday, as well as a special program with the contestants every Monday after the gala (the program heir to what was once called ‘El Chat de OT’).
Although if there is one advantage that everyone seems to agree on, it is that Advertising breaks are eliminated and the duration of the galas is reduced following a rigorous schedule. The latter is something that has been highly criticized in recent times, since prime time in Spain has been getting longer and it is not uncommon to see stellar free-to-air programs that begin around 11 at night and end around 1:30 p.m. early morning.
A prime time of only 90 minutes, without ads and that ends before midnight is the long-awaited dream of free-to-air TV and that Prime Video fulfills with ‘OT’
In ‘OT 2023’ they promise 90 minute galas without interruption. The first gala broadcast yesterday (Gala 0 as it is officially called) was the only exception because it lasted beyond midnight, but from now on, every Monday there will be a broadcast that will begin at 10:00 p.m. and end at 11:30 p.m. And yes, without advertising breaks and with extra content in the post-gala program for those who can afford (and want) to stay up a little longer.
However, it must be said that the frenetic pace is also scary and it remains to be seen if it is a matter of getting used to it or if everything is really too compacted. Although yesterday’s gala was longer than it usually will be, seeing the artists perform one after the other with barely more than a pause for Chenoa to ask them a regular question, left a certain feeling of overwhelm. Maybe it’s a novelty thing…

Now, we will not deny either that whether we like it or not, ‘OT’ has become payment. Yes, the 24h channel is still free on YouTube, the Prime Video subscription is one of the most profitable and many of us have it. However, it is obvious that what previously cost you zero euros to watch on TVE or Telecinco has now become a payment requirement of at least 4.49 euros per month (or 49.90 euros annually).
However, even in defect we can find virtue. Luckily, and I hope you don’t read me in case you change your mind, You do not have to pay extra to be able to watch ‘OT’, but rather it is integrated as another content on the platform. And this is something that may seem obvious, but with some content it does not happen and the best example is that second division football can also be seen on Prime Video, but after paying 9.99 euros per month as an extra to the standard subscription. .
Likewise, saying that Advertising may invade ‘OT 2023’ broadcasts at some point. The arrival of ads to Prime Video for 2024 has already been officially confirmed and, pending seeing in what quantity and how often they will appear, it cannot be ruled out that it will begin to happen already in the final stretch of ‘OT 2023’. Luckily within the bad, Prime also announced that you can pay an extra to remove ads, of 2.99 dollars in the United States and that perhaps it can be approved in Spain with similar figures of 2.99 euros per month.
Whether ‘Operation Triumph’ succeeds is something we will only know at the end.
Anyone who has experienced working on television up close knows how overwhelming it is to wait for the next morning’s show. This is the audience data that the program had and that in more and more cases is crucial. Television networks have run out of patience and it is increasingly common to see cancellations with just a couple of broadcasts. In part, it is even normal seeing how streaming hits them.

On Amazon Prime Video, as on other platforms, there is no public, daily audience data. There are studies that show certain trends and even the platforms themselves announce some data on active users with some quarterly regularity. However, There are no detailed audience records for each program. Therefore, we may never know how many people have seen ‘OT 2023’ or a single one of its galas.
In streaming, although it is also beginning to notice the harshness of cancellations, there is usually more room. A program of this magnitude implies a high investment that will be borne by the production company and Amazon as the owner of the rights and obviously no one wants to lose money, but it would be rare to find an early cancellation.
The key to everything will be for Amazon to study the evolution of the format in these months, to analyze to what extent the impact is positive on its subscriber accounts and if they can at least do so. consider it as an investment that will be amortized with future editions. For now, and from the viewer’s perspective, everything has started well.

If there is finally triumph with the triumphs, It will not be far-fetched to imagine a ‘Survivor’ and even a ‘Big Brother’ via streaming. Cases that are somewhat more specific than ‘OT’ due to rights issues, but in essence, perfectly transferable to this field. And if not, tell the collaborators of the extinct ‘Sálvame’.
Because ultimately, what ‘OT 2023’ implies at Amazon is open a war against traditional television with what has been its goose that lays the golden eggs for a long time. With less success in the last decade and some rare exception like ‘Temptation Island’, the doubt about whether this type of format is still interesting is on the table, but… what if what really doesn’t interest is the form? classic of consuming them?
Crest of Surtr is a crafting material in God of War. You need it to unlock the Heavy Runic Attacks called Breath of Thamur and Meteoric Slam. Unfortunately, Crest of Surtr is a fairly rare material that you can only get from one location. Read on to learn where to find this material and how to get Meteoric Slam & Breath of Thamur.
This is how you get Crest of Surtr as well as Meteoric Slam & Breath of Thamur
To Crest of Surtr in God of War To get it, you have to complete the Muspelheim Trials. As the name suggests, you have to take on these trials/challenges in Muspelheim. To get there you need all four Muspelheim Cyphers. You can then head to Muspelheim and go into the arena there and interact with the giant fire sword in the middle to begin the Muspelheim Trials. Be prepared for a tough fight as it can get quite difficult and tricky.
Once you have successfully completed the Trials, you will receive two chests as a reward. You will find a lot of materials in the chests and one will also give you Crest of Surtr. I received Crests of Surtr, although how many you receive may depend on how well you do in the Trials. I managed gold at the Trials, which is why I received three Crests. I’m not sure if there’s a connection, but it’s something to keep in mind. Now you can go to the nearest shop/dealer.
Once you’re at the shop, you’ll be able to purchase the Meteoric Slam and Breath of Thamur Heavy Runic Attacks. You also need other materials for this, such as Smoldering Ember, Crest of Flame, and so on, but you can also get them in Muspelheim. Each of the Runic Attacks requires a Crest of Surtr. Both attacks are great and look incredibly cool, but the most important thing is that they can deal massive damage. So they are worth the effort. Meteor Slam is for the Blades of Chaos and summons several flaming rocks to fall on the enemies. Breath of Thamur is for the Leviathan Ax and is a big AOE attack with cold winds. Interestingly, this attack doesn’t deal Frost damage until you upgrade it, but it’s still great.

In Dragon Ball FighterZ, some of the most complex – but also most powerful – attacks you can perform are called Super Moves, or simply by Super Attacks. These attacks can be unique to a specific character and in this guide to combos of Dragon Ball FighterZ we will inform you about how you can execute each attack that we know to date for characters like Goku, Vegeta, Frieza, among others.
For complete information about this game, including its release date and each confirmed character you can play with, you can always go to our guide on everything we know about Dragon Ball FighterZ.
Dragon Ball FighterZ – How to fill the Super Meter
At the bottom of the screen in Dragon Ball FighterZ you can see a bar that fills every time you attack your opponent. This bar is known as Super Meter and you will have to fill it in completely if you want to successfully execute any of the Super Moves that we have listed below. Each Super Move that you execute will drain this bar up to a certain amount, so you will have to decide on which Super Move you will spend the power that you have been accumulating.
Dragon Ball FighterZ – How to perform Super Moves
Next, we’ll detail all the Super Moves we know from Dragon Ball FighterZ, which includes characters like Goku and Vegeta, but also villains like Cell and Frieza. We will explain to you how to perform each of these attacks for each character, even if you are using a traditional command
Frieza’s Super Moves in Dragon Ball FighterZ
The first Super Move on our list belongs exclusively to Frieza and is called “Death Ball”. This attack only requires that part of the power bar is filled and can be performed by pressing the right bumper at the same time that you pull the analog stick down and move it 90 degrees counterclockwise. The Death Ball attack will not take long to load and is not very complicated to execute, even for the novices who are playing for the first time.
Another Super Move that belongs to Frieza is called Nova Strike but, this time, you need three pieces of your super meter to be filled. You can do this movement by pulling the analog stick down and turning it 90 degrees clockwise, while simultaneously pressing the right bumper. This attack removes about half of the opponent’s health, but it can take a while to load.

Alternatively, you can simply press the right trigger instead of the right bumper with the combination above to run Nova Strike but you will have the transformation to Golden Frieza instead. This is currently the only transformation announced for Dragon Ball FighterZ, but you will need three pieces of the loaded bar to complete it.
Cell Super Moves in Dragon Ball FighterZ
Now let’s look at Cell, which appears to be a relatively easy-to-use character for players making their debut in Dragon Ball FighterZ. To start your most basic super move, called Energy Field, which needs a piece of your bar filled in, you just have to pull the analog stick down and turn it 90 degrees counterclockwise – at the same time, you have to press the right bumper or the right trigger.
Cell’s second Super Move is more complex, called Solar Kamehameha, which you can do as soon as you have three pieces of the meter filled – then you just have to pull the analog stick down and press the right bumper or trigger at the same time. It is undoubtedly the most powerful Super Move in the Cell catalog, but you will need more time to charge the energy needed to execute it.
Innocent Buu’s Super Moves in Dragon Ball FighterZ
Next up is Innocent Buu, the final form of Majin Buu. Your basic Super Move is called You Know What? I Hate You! and make sure you have a full power bar and, as we said earlier for the other characters, you have to pull the analog stick down and rotate it 90 degrees counterclockwise while pressing the bumper right.
His most powerful attack is called You’re my Snack Now !, and it is where, apparently, Innocent turns his opponent into nothing more, nothing less, than a cracker. As always, the most powerful Super Move for each character costs three bars of power, and can be performed by pulling the analog stick down, rotating it clockwise and, at the same time, clicking on the right trigger or bumper.
Super Vegeta Moves in Dragon Ball FighterZ
Proceeding for the heroes of Dragon Ball FighterZ, we have Vegeta first, whose basic Super Move is called Big Bang Attack and can be executed using only a portion of the super meter. To make this attack, you only have to pull the analog stick down and then anti-clockwise, pressing the right bumper or trigger to start the attack.
For Vegeta’s most powerful attack (Final Flash), you will need to have three bars filled and, as always, you can activate it by turning the stick clockwise and pressing the trigger or the right bumper. As you can see from the amount of power you use in this attack, this is the deadliest move that Vegeta can perform at the heart of the battle.
Goku’s Super Moves in Dragon Ball FighterZ
The hero of the Dragon Ball saga, Goku, has three Super Moves revealed, for the time being, the first being called Super Kamehameha. This attack forces you to fill part of the bar and is performed by pulling the stick down and turning it counterclockwise – at the same time, press the right bumper.
:: Pokémon Sword and Shield – How to evolve Milcery to Alcremie
Goku’s next Super Move also only needs a filled bar and is called Instant Transmission Kamehameha. You only have to rotate the analog clockwise while pressing the right trigger. With this attack, you will make Goku disappear entirely and appear behind his opponent.
Finally, Goku’s most powerful Super Move requires three pieces of the attack bar and is called Meteor Smash. Rotate the stick clockwise while clicking on the right bumper or trigger and you will inflict three small attacks on your opponent and end with a massive attack.
Android 18 Super Moves in Dragon Ball FighterZ
The first android character on this list, Android 18, has two Super Moves in Dragon Ball FighterZ, the first of which is called Energy Wave and only needs a filled super meter bar. To carry out the attack, pull the analog stick down and turn it 90 degrees clockwise – at the same time, you will have to press two of the attack buttons.
For the most powerful Super Moves on Android 18, you’ll have to do the same button combination that we specified earlier, but this time, you need to rotate the analog stick counterclockwise. The most powerful Super Move is called Accel Dance and forces two bars to be full.
Beerus Super Moves in Dragon Ball FigherZ
For our feline Dragon Ball fighter FigherZ there are two options for Super Moves. The first is called Beerus Ball and requires only a piece of the power bar – you can use this attack by pulling the stick down and turning it clockwise, while pressing any of the attack buttons.
The other Super Move in Beerus’ repertoire is called Judgment and you need to have three bars full in order to be able to execute it. This time, rotate the stick counterclockwise and press two attack buttons to execute it.
Kid Buu’s Super Moves in Dragon Ball FighterZ
This fighter has three Super Moves available in Dragon Ball FighterZ. The weaker two, called Human Extinction Attack and Pearl Flash, are executed by pulling the analogue stick down and turning it clockwise, while pressing two attack buttons. You will be able to use the Human Extinction Attack if you are on the ground and the Super Move Pearl Flash if you are in the air.
Finally, for Kid Buu’s most powerful Super Move called Planet Crusher, you’ll have to rotate the stick counterclockwise and press two attack buttons – don’t forget that you have to have three power bars filled.
This is the complete list of all the Super Moves in Dragon Ball FighterZ that we know so far, but if a new one appears, we will include it in this guide.
