Run 👏 your 👏 sewing machine 👏 before you 👏 run 👏 your 👏 mouth 👏

I should go by sometime and look at it and see if I can do that 🤔

I love the red but holy shit it better be the comfiest couch ever after all that!!!

I dunno! People can be blind to how they come across, but people can also have superficial interpretations of others. If someone says they’re “like” a character, I assume it speaks to their interior life and does actually represent them even if they aren’t in the position to externalize it??

It’s… so fucking bad. 😭😭😭😭

Hmmm. If they do know, and have documentation for it they can provide, it CAN be shipped to you whether they are personally willing to do it or not. But if they don’t have that paperwork, no Canadian will be able to reliably ship it for you. :(

Do they have info on where they source their stuff?

I love Pluribus!!!!!!!! I love that we have a new show together!!!

Hour 6, gonna keep them on until they get ragged to see how long they last.

Right, but allowing any sort of “let the computer handle the decisions” just greases the wheels for more of it. They’re a fucking video game company starting to let computers make the video games. I say no quarter, no exceptions. Made by humans or bust.

It’s not that there isn’t a place for it in testing, but humans will figure out problems way faster than computers because computers can only check what they’ve been trained to check. They will OK stuff that’s broken because they can’t identify it. Hence this translation shit with Octopath!

I used to work in QA, and had a lot of long conversations with my bosses about companies who shipped to machine-checked QA. It’s pretty standard now, but it does mean games get pushed to live service with game-breaking shit that isn’t checked manually by a human being.

It would be silly to eschew the tractor because it replaced the jobs of many more people; those people will break their backs, season after season, in hard labour. But every video game is a singular opportunity for someone to do something cool, and that includes this.

Gen AI doesn’t stop at the visual components. Using AI to generate code replaces people who make all the little details in a game that make it feel alive, right down to whatever lunatic at Rockstar decided to make the horses’ testicles shrink in cold weather. I want those people to have jobs lol.

There’s also a difference between enemy AI as in the coding that makes them act/react as they do, like playing chess against the computer on the family desktop in 2001, based on what a human programmed, vs AI-generated code for enemy AI.

My counterpoint here is just that a bespoke human-created map will always be more interesting and immersive than a machine procedurally placing tree assets here or there and a human going in and adding minimal details. I don’t want game worlds that are basically just slop to fill space/be big.
