genuinely so embarrassing that so many mod creators think that gen AI images make their mods look better or more professional when all it does is make me immediately ignore the mod and assume that it was probably coded terribly too

Sincerity is a precious resource The people providing it are just as valuable It would be far better to leave the world behind having reinforced the values you lived by and actually standing for something, than to spend your life painting over everything meaningful with irony and indifference.

But all that was acquired in a walled garden by a younger, less aware me, and if I was wiser, I would have enjoyed it while it lasted while knowing I fundamentally did not own any of it. The only thing you have is people that you make a real exchange with, a purposeful connection. "Off platform"

The deeply frustrating thing about certain YouTube channels using/making A/I slop is not just the disappointment, but a deep bemoaning of "you're the only one who was doing this really neat niche thing! why you are you ruining what you've got with this bullshit?!?!?!?"

Every time I hear conspiracy theorists say anything along the lines of "NASA did all these secret projects with all their space stuff", all I can think of is "I think NASA would be happy to have even a tenth of the budget it'd take to pull anything like that".

Reading/hearing negative opinions about the Wolverine game has me feeling like 40 year old game reviewers have finally grown tired of the same exact generic AAA teenslop that was already patronizingly easy and shallow and oversaturated over 10 years ago

Some people who follow me might wonder why I haven't been streaming lately. Well, thing is, I was planning on picking it up again. Then Twitch pushed the A/I update. I know it's an option, and I did turn it off, but it *really* soured the idea of streaming on there for me. Ugh.

Perfect couple of posts summarising the Wolverine / AAA space.

User @nisei_yoshimi posted on X:

time was if you wanted a wolverine game you called up acclaim or etc and they gave it to some lads from scunthorpe named like Galactic Visions who would code a 6/10 third person action game for PS2 xbox and gamecube in ten months. and it would cost about £500 and a few curries

developing a 6/10 wolverine game in 2004: uh we thought if we did like tomb raider but a bit of devil may cry combat it'd be well fun innit

I say this as a joke but honestly if, when playing a video game, you can lose and: - not get frustrated or annoyed - think about what happened and examine the elements in play - reconsider your choices regularly then you'll be well on your way to overcoming a lot of difficult gaming challenges
