I was talking more generally, but in this case I agree it’s a small issue. I’d personally prefer if the dev removed the translated descriptions because it’s like you said, misleading and I’d even argue borderline insulting. That being said I do wish the dev good luck and I ought check the demo out at some point soon.

He’s selling it, so it’s at least somewhat profesional. And no one expects the game to be translated to every language ever. Most indie games only release in English, especially at first.
AI translations just cheapen your art, and as someone who speaks multiple languages I can tell you first hand - AI translations are NOT good when it comes to stories. They’re barely good enough for translating a conversation coherently. And on top of it all is it not incredibly ironic for someone who was laid off because of AI to use AI?

So you’re saying we’re dealing with an 18th century game dev here?

For professional work - yes everyone should hire translators.

That’s completely incorrect when it comes to gaming, especially the indie gaming scene. Every use of AI that has been found in an indie game has had a lot of controversy to it. Look at The Alters from last year for example. There’s a large enough amount of indie gamers that REALLY hate AI and WILL boycott a game over it. Those people are also usually the most open to new and weird indie games.

Really bad example in 2026. Apple users are probably the least likely to to upgrade every year

Until Then - a beautiful adventure game/visual novel that’s a great coming of age story with inter dimensional time travel later on.

The VR version with a ton of mods lol

I remember there being rumors years and years ago that they were working on a VR + flatscreen online game. No idea if it’s still a thing but it would be the perfect release for these.

I wonder if these revival projects will work well with a heavily modded Skyrim VR. Would really give these releases a lot more longevity with that.

Yeah the price increase on the AYN sucks, but I brought them up as examples of great devices that run PC emulation quite well in a very small form factor (at least compared to PC handhelds).
Also I 100% agree that ARM is the future here, and that Valve is probably testing the waters with Steam Frame. It all fits in just way too perfectly. That being said, while I would hope to be wrong, I could imagine them completely moving to ARM and just not release a true Steam Deck successor at some point based on x86. Valve is kinda making history with not making direct successors with the Valve Index -> Steam Frame.

Here’s the thing: Game Native allows for this sort of emulation of PC games on those handhelds. Yes, it works for like 10 minutes on a normal phone with heavier titles, but these handhelds are easily half the size of a steam deck while giving comparable performance sometimes already on these devices. That’s what the conversation is really about I feel. I don’t think anyone would even want to to play cyberpunk on their phone.

Considering that this is partially thanks to Valve’s support of the FEX translation layer (x86 to ARM) I think it’s inevitably the next step after testing the waters with the Steam Frame.

Uhm look at the Ayn Thor and Odin 3. It’s pretty much on par in a way smaller form factor. ARM is a game changer.
- Comment on Does the engine a game uses factor into your decision to buy it or not? 3 months ago:
No, I couldn’t care less what engine devs use. This is like choosing to not buy a cake because the baker used a Le Crueset spatula instead of a Tefal one. Literally doesn’t matter as long as the game (and cake) is good.
- Comment on The first new Heroes of Might and Magic strategy game in over 10 years will launch this month 3 months ago:
I’ve been playing the VCMI version of HOMM3 (on my iPad out of all places) and it’s so much fun again. This one looks cool but the UI is a real turn off for me. Completely lacks the vibes of the previous games imo.
- Comment on Fewer People Playing Fortnite Is Just One of Epic's Many Problems, Analysts Say 3 months ago:
I used to play it quite a bit in beta and early release, and then checked back in in 2021 when they had already done a lot of brand partnerships. You’re right on the dot. They completely removed the game’s identity. I found it funny you mention the golf carts, because when I played it, the first match my team of randoms landed next to some cars (from rocket league I think) and just spent the entire game doing stunts to earn points. There was zero interaction with the core gameplay loop. It was crazy.
- Comment on Is there any decent PvP FPS that's not infested with cheaters? Looking for a decent PvP FPS 3 months ago:
Also the low player count isn’t bad cause you play in 3 person teams so it’s 3v3v3. You just need 9 people to play a game.
