And one other thing: we’re being told that AI is the only way to make games cheaper and faster, to pull us from this precipice of production nightmares the industry has found itself in. That it’s necessary.
We put out roughly 3 motherfucking games a year, not touching the stuff.
Skill issue.

Also, I see the dialogue is notably different from the original English version. Why?
The original game has some more properly idiomatic lines - eg, Dave says "if anyone wants to back out" instead of "get out". It'd probably be best to just copy over the original English text wherever possible.

I'm rather startled to see that the famous "Don't be a tuna head!" joke from the original game is gone. That should be put back in, IMO.

how about "fission god"? since it sounds like the concept of atoms splitting via nuclear fission might also be thematically linked to (over)proliferation and bounty
