This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

They slapped on an extra gimmick system to manage for each character and some are a lot more of a hassle than others. Theodora has the batallions from 3H and can send then out to gather for her, which is much easier to work with compared to Cai’s farming & ranching.

FWIW I’m possibly extrapolating that AI usage as a result of this article: gamerant.com/capcom-ai-ge... But it sounds like Capcom has been using AI during the moodboard/concept art phase and that’s not something I can tolerate.

Yuuup, found out that they has potentially used “just a little” AI for Pragmata and bailed on it. If they come out against AI later on I might give them another chance, but I’ve got enough ethical games to last several lifetimes… so I don’t really feel the need to do so.

It has to be largely a combination of 2 & 3. The arts are/were practically one of the only ways to be free in the current corporatocracy, and rather than recognize their own shackles they’d rather help put artists in irons too and feel smugly superior for doing so.

From what I’ve seen they’ve also cut ties and cancelled the upcoming book, so it’s unlikely there will be any future printings.

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm looking forward to doing so! I've got too many big adventure games (on another shelf that's even messier) and TB2 supposedly is much lighter/faster which sounds like it will be a perfect change of pace. Hopefully.

Yeah, this mirrors how I've been feeling. Even offline things keep getting ruined for me, like my favorite Indian restaurant going all-in on AI with a new website & menu. And since it's the only one that's a convenient distance away I guess I just won't be eating Indian food anymore. It sucks.

So this game called "Dverghold" came across my Steam homepage. Interesting retro vibes, apparently collabing with a dungeon synth artist for the OST. The art was kinda tickling my AI-dar though, so I scrolled down to look for any disclaimers.

One thing that always gets me is that I remember next to nothing from the modern Zeldas. No unique puzzles, no standout areas, no strange little guys. Going into the underground in TotK was really cool the first time, and then it became a large, boring slog like everything else.

IIRC there was a similar trend when AI videos were starting to come out as a thing, so a lot of people just called Humankind 2 AI without a second thought. Which is a shame, because Amplitude has one of the best art teams in the industry and I can't imagine they'd throw that rep away by using AI.

I realize I’m a datapoint of one, but I firmly believe that any new incremental with a boring talent tree that’s functionally a 1:1 clone of Nodebuster’s is gunning off both feet by doing so unless they have really unique gameplay to make up for it, like Berry Bury Berry or Wielders of the Essence.

Data on why the games industry has more then enough money to support all the developers it layed off over the last years. ...but just chooses not to. Spotted in @kylethescott.bsky.social latest video, but here from the source: static1.squarespace.com/static/5d8e9... See alts for descriptions. /1

Chart showing: After a dip in customer spending (meaning players paying for games) in 2022, investors jumped ship and there is a steady decline in investor spending since then.

Chart shows: However the customer spending not only recovered, but further increased withing less then 3 years.

There's always room for people to fix themselves, but public individuals should have to do some visible reputation rehab to wash away the stink of their prior words & actions. IE: if Grummz suddenly went radio silent for 5-10 years, it would be a reasonable assumption that he's still awful.
