So it turns out Rogue AI isn't like in the movies. Instead of all-powerful machines turbofucking everything you can think of in one go without mercy, they just do one or two attacks and then wait politely for news and market cycles to play out. So that's nice!!

Even by normal UK standards, looking at the news the past day or so has been a trip.

Oh dang, was just informed that Vangers - one of the weirdest games ever - got a big update so it runs at 60fps. It's being maintained by fans now, after the original developer passed away a couple years ago.

The original sin of Sunless Sea is just… setting out in the first place. There are lucky captains and well-prepared captains but the prerequisite is a gross recklessness. An irredeemable hubris and disregard for the gift of life you might otherwise call pioneer spirit.

I love that no matter how smugly competent you get at Sunless Sea you still, every so often, allow yourself to be tempted too far out; find yourself feathering the ship-lamp to try and fend off both fuel-death and madness for that last minute it’ll take to reach port. All while cursing your own name

Sorry, continued discoursing before food and should know better but the whole “fans annoyed by someone selling their promo tat because ‘a fan could have had that’“ really has me questioning what some people value in the first place. I struggle to get past “it’s advertising tat, an advert”

When software does not correctly perform its function, it should be considered broken and buggy. It should be withdrawn from use and patched. It annoys me no end that LLM sellers keep spinning it into the hype cycle.

Considering there’s always A Fan somewhere who will want the weirdest, most obscure piece of tat, the other two answers are “don’t send out promo stuff” and “don’t have any fans” so good luck out there.

I just can't imagine getting het up about someone flogging something that will other wise go in the bin or sit in an attic. "This is totally unacceptable!" - food shops are like triple what they used to cost a few years back, flog whatever you want if you can make cash off it.

I do feel like if you don't want journalists and influencers flogging the promo tat you send them that fans will obviously buy then don't send out promo tat that fans will obviously buy.

One neat thing about this is that the spec requirements mean it'll run on a (modern) toaster. The graphics card requirement is an almost 10 year old integrated chip. There are probably fridges out there with more horsepower.

Minimum system requirements for Dressmaker on Steam

Minimum:
OS: Windows 10 or later
Processor: Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: Intel UHD 630 or Better
DirectX: Version 11
Storage: 1 GB available space

A large part of the proof for that can be found in everyone else's Gauntlet sequels or homages which are all entirely different games because there's nothing there.

Saw something in a nostalgia-bait FB post about Gauntlet and this is an excuse to go off on my pet theory which is Gauntlet is a rare game that primarily and arguably ONLY works as a coin-eating arcade game:

My current social media obsession is a guy who does engagement farming about being an “older gamer” so he posts things like “when you were a younger gamer all that mattered was high scores but now the real boss fight is back pain”.

I promise you, the bulk of people doing this for the eighties might well have lived through it but what comes out the other end is frankly bizarre on a good day and a complete fabrication on a normal day. I think it’s just a general “nostalgia is fucked up” thing.
