I havent been as active in RPG Maker communities in recent years but it was getting increasingly pro-AI on the whole last i checked. Maybe it's for the best that I dipped out.

As much nostalgia as I have for some early youtubers, "Funny guy yell at game" probably shouldnt have spawned a multibillion dollar industry.

games rule and exploring the good/rough/weird is what makes them awesome. something being strange doesn't mean it's terrible, the devs were not "on drugs" while making something unusual or difficult. such a miserable and embarrassing perspective to have. AHHHH

The loss of rmn was a lot more than people realize. It was a great hobbyist dev space, one of the few left at the time, and so much of the 2010s RM scene is contextless without it.

I miss it dearly and I hope it does come back soon!

Verdict: Not too bad! Tastes like key lime pie, only fizzier.
