- Comment on Larian CEO Responds to Divinity Gen AI Backlash: 'We Are Neither Releasing a Game With Any AI Components, Nor Are We Looking at Trimming Down Teams to Replace Them With AI' 18 hours ago:
It’s not like they are just going to do a visual spot check on each level to clear out the AI assets. They will probably tag it in the meta data as a placeholder. So some automated validation process can find every ai asset in a level. Not to mention game objects are wrapped in an object template. And then the template is used to place the object into the scenes. So they only have to replace the placeholder with the final object once in the template and then it will replace it everywhere the template is used.

It’s like Apple every year who proudly boasts on stage that they just made the best iPhone ever. Yeah no shit, that’s what they are supposed to do each year.

And you can basically divide these cultures by latitude. Like in Europe the further north you go the less people care about gastronomy. Since these cultures were formed around food scarcity and pure survival, since they had very harsh winters ( before global warming), and the days up north are short in the winter. And before you go “but China and Japan”. Beijing is on the same latitude as Madrid and Tokyo is even further south, so that still tracks.

I could never finish the Witness. It’s one of those first person perspective games that just gives me simulation sickness very quickly. Like I can play CoD multiplayer matches for hours but the Witness makes me sick within thirty minutes.

The impressive thing is that Blow created an entirely new programming language called Jai while developing this game that they made using the new programming language. That’s why it took them 10+ years to make a fricking Sokoban game.

10 reviews is basically statistical noise.

What is there to be solved? It’s not a physical store with scant storage space. It has been solved by the store algorithm. Games that do well in the first week will rise to the front page and will get recommended to other customers, while crap will basically become invisible. Does it really matter that these crap games exist when you’ll rarely see them and the storage space they take up is insignificant to Valve’s bottom line. Like when was the last time you ever saw shovelware on the front page? If you see shovelware then the algorithm thinks you like that stuff. You can solve that by giving shovel ware in your library low reviews and by curating the queue.
Sure this will hurt some devs who made a hidden gem, but these devs would have failed in the physical retail space as well. Studios have the responsibility to do the leg work of promoting their own game. That’s not Steam’s job. The Steam algorithm will basically give each game some visibility during its first few days of release and if a game can’t generate sales momentum the algorithm will drop it and basically becomes invisible unless you search for it. Games that do well in that period get pushed to the recommendations. And no the threshold isn’t millions in sales it’s basically a couple of thousand copies in the first days.
Raising the fee would hurt devs on a budget, like devs outside high income countries and students.

A million dollar company is relatively a small fry. That’s what an average auto repair shop can make in a year in revenue. Small companies are way more likely to break labor laws and treat their employees like shit.

- Comment on We can play that game too 1 week ago:
Same is true for people who really really don’t want to work. I’d rather they live in social housing, get some small social assistance check and spend their time in front of the tv drinking beers, than roam the streets and bothering people by begging or worse committing crimes because they can hold a job down and refuse all help.
Some people just can’t be convinced to better their lives and these people need to be managed and jail is not the answer. And often these people do turn around and start accepting help.

Also the Mediterranean acts like a huge heat buffer. It basically stops the polar winds from reaching southern Europe.

No it’s not legal. Currently BNPL just doesn’t fall under the same strict rules as normal debt. So the KYC rules are pretty lax. Minors can easily circumvent the checks.

- Comment on After Apple originally announced the first version of Halo in 1999, Xbox apparently called Bungie and said "'Steve Jobs can't have that. We're going to buy you.'" 2 weeks ago:
Apple is dipping their toes in the gaming water. Like couple of weeks ago they had a livestream, outside the WWDC schedule, about porting pc games to MacOs. They have even made plugins for Unity and put them on GitHub. So at least they take gaming a bit more seriously than they did under Steve Jobs.

Do you ever experience hallucinations? Like see people or animals in the corner of your eye that turn out to be just shadows or a coat. I’m a 1 and I sometimes experience vivid hallucinations when I’m really tired or have just woken up. Like I have a recurring hallucination that I occasionally get. Sometimes when I wake up I see a spider hanging above my head. Then I jump out of bed and notice that nothing is there.
