I will never adapt to AI in games. There's a world of devs putting in the work, creating actual art in the hopes of sparking real human emotion for me to make time for someone who has decided to cut corners. Miss me with that stale slop.

So, I started playing Eternal Strands yesterday on stream, and I have to say it deserved a better reception. Fantastic sense of art direction, charming cast of characters, and a refreshing mix of magical combat and curious exploration make for an impressive debut title. Can't wait to keep playing.
