If anything, it's preferable. People have been complaining about "metroidvania" as a genre label for decades!

Also, the reflection moves with the door for a split second before the AI realises what it should be doing!

I was thinking the same thing, but I'll reason that if the commercial ad entity can fairly highlight minority developers as long as it serves their self-interests, then they can be fairly held accountable for dropping that support the moment it doesn't serve them.

Sowing, reaping, etc.

The other answer is "It's not a bubble if everyone agrees it's a bubble" which is usually followed by some shallow rhetoric about how "AI hasn't achieved its true potential" in a way that tells me they do not understand the underlying technologies beyond marketing material.

Also I'm fed up of asking finance people about it who say "well, there's still money to be made in AI" like I'm worried about which high risk fund is maximising their returns. No dude, I just don't want to put savings into a box that at some point will burn 20% of it.

The more I try out different flsvours of linux the easier it gets. I literally only have a windows 11 PC / adobe software for freelancing, and playing battlefield 6. I'm so glad to be free of it elsewhere.

I spent 5 years working in mobile, and it always felt like the development team was trying to sneak in better gameplay and mechanics on top the minimum feature requirements to meet whatever metric we were chasing that month.
