Odd one today, revisited an old college project. If a sci-fi tank shooter with local competitive play and weird floaty controls sounds interesting, grab a friend and try it out. thomasthewest.itch.io/combat-reloa...

#saveplayerone has aged very poorly. I don't know how the Bethesda layoffs have not killed off all momentum for TES 6 with so many junior and senior layoffs.

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:

And he said, "If everyone likes it, it means it's mainstream. It means it's conventional. It means it's already pre-digested for people to like it. And I don't want that. I want people to end up liking things they didn't like when they first encountered it, because that's where you really end up loving something."
