Hi Bluesky! I'm billyK_. I'm just a nerd who likes games, lots of games, and somehow liked games enough to get the concept of turtles into #Minecraft. Yes, I'm that guy lol
I also like memes, so expect nothing but absolutely terrible content on here from me lol

Not only have these vampires helped us fly pass the 16k mark, they were also able to join us for an big landmark: in all the years of LT combined, we have now raised just over 300k! We can't even begin to express how grateful we are to this amazing community! We love these Tropics! ❤️ 🌴

Hytale costing $20 USD raises a few questions for me
But the biggest one is:
Mojang more or less implemented the Bedrock Marketplace to both help creators and get a cut so they could also have some revenue coming in; when will Hytale admit they're going to do the same to keep the game afloat?

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

After seeing the latest Hytale gameplay trailer, my only thought, which has been the prevailing thought since it was first announced:
So Hytale is a very polished bedrock marketplace purchase

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

I mean this toward the Hytale team with no ill-will
But if management admits to being checked out of the game for 5 years which more than likely caused the original shutdown cause they didn't reign in scope, that's a massive problem
Here's to hoping things are better now, somehow a rare Riot W
