If the Amish weren’t Christian, I’d be tempted to join them…
Oh yeah it’s okay, I’m poly and I don’t mind being asked as long as it’s done respectfully !
Because I’m sure some of them make reasonable souding projects, but I still don’t want to use them either way.
Tell me your project is trash at the outset, I’ll find out anyway by reading the code, you’re doing both of us a favour.
Their solution is probably gonna be game pass. Everyone is distracted by the anti-AI crusade but we should not forget the anti-Subscription crusade too !
YES.
But also, we can tell. Random front-end/dashboard with an incomprehensible tech stack and feature list ? Always AI.
Y’all sound like : “Now basically the only new principle involved is that instead of power being generated by the relative motion of conductors and fluxes, it is produced by the modial interaction of magneto-reluctance and capacitive diractance.”
I would have never predicted AI would mean we get a million front-ends and control panels for shit no one needs, but now that we’re here it kinda makes sense.
Seriously thinking of leaving this community because of these posts.
My explanation of why it’s stupid :
I was like you, and I ended up choosing Steam, mainly because I can play the game on the Steam Deck that way.
If a game I own ever gets delisted on Steam : first off, it’s unusual for Steam to remove it from your library ; secondly, I would just pirate a copy if that were ever to happen.
Any game for which that strategy fails, would also never have a physical release on PlayStation anyway.
Also, Steam sales (or key resellers) are cheaper than second hand disks ; and I never sold any of my physical games anyway (though I might now that I re-bought them on Steam 😂)
That is factually wrong. Most games are entirely on the disk, albeit in version 1.0 ; you can check on DoesItPlay, they usually have the info.
Damn. I can’t imagine this is what they wanted to price it at, I’m very sad to say it is a competitive price in this insane market…
Okay then eat an entire screwdriver.
“Making your own cyanide is good now”
The fact I don’t know how to make cyanide at home isn’t what’s keeping me from consuming it. I don’t consume cyanide because it is POISON ; so is AI.
I get the feeling, but from a completely different perspective : I want infinite games, at least most of the time.
I’m usually not looking for a good mechanic or two to repeat over and over again. Either a game has to be a focused story that carries me through, or (and that’s what I prefer) : a sandbox.
A world I can inhabit, where I can combine mechanics, set my own goals, exist within… The best game for this is of course Minecraft, but others do come close for me :
So when a game focuses on developing one mechanic as far as possible… That’s nice, I might play a few hours, but I’m very unlikely to finish the game.
I was enthusiastic about LadyBird until I learnt that the guy leading the project i s a white supremacist, via pivot-to-ai.
Now I hope either someone else takes it over, or that it crashes and burns.
I used to use fish but I don’t like their weird scripting language. I want my shell to be POSIX compliant.
