I've been playing the demo for almost two hours and it just keeps going. If you've played Aria of Sorrow then you'll feel at home. The demo save file will be compatible with the full game also.

The problem is that ram is in everything, there’s only 3 manufacturers and they all collude. We’re only going to get cheaper ram if the government regulate them but they won’t

I made a sky for DOOM using the Gale Crater panorama from Mars that NASA recently released! It felt rather fitting.

From tech radar, they'll never let the prices come back down. They'll just figure out a new grift to keep them high

64GB of Ram being this price is absolutely insane... 128GB is like £2.4k, it sucks to be a tech person RN
£1451 for 64gb of RAM

Looks very cool and I do enjoy the 'vibe-building' game that seems to have emerged, I kind of wish for maybe an extra reason to own these though, like exporting to obj or stl, or maybe export to skybox to use in map-making

All those games companies sitting on IP waiting for the right moment to cash in on PC, well thanks to AI you missed it and maybe have missed it forever. I'd love for Sega to release SCUD Race or Sony to release Bloodborne, maybe Konami to release SOTN... but you ain't gonna make money on it now :/

I started out pretty AI neutral, aside from the environmental concerns, but I'm, being pushed into hating it more and more because it keeps making things I care about actively worse, and the results keep speaking for themselves in a really bad shitty way.

This is fucking terrifying
Separate research supports the concern. Anat Perry, a Helen Putnam Fellow at Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute and associate professor of psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, co-authored a paper in Science examining how sycophantic AI responses erode users’ ability to calibrate their own judgment. The paper found that when AI systems consistently affirm a user’s position, the user’s capacity for independent evaluation degrades over time.

Joanna Stern, NBC’s chief technology analyst and author of “I Am Not a Robot: My Year Using AI to Do (Almost) Everything,” has documented the creep of AI dependency in daily life. Her reporting has shown how users begin with low-stakes queries, such as what to cook for dinner or what to wear, and gradually escalate to consequential decisions about careers, finances, and relationships. The trajectory from convenience to reliance is difficult to reverse once established.
