For all the talk of AI being able to make full-ass games, I haven't seen a single one on the market yet. Where are all the great vibe-coded games? I thought AI could make them in weeks?? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

The idea generator in #MakeRoom picks a few random words from an array and displays them (like; "cozy green bedroom"). I can guarantee you this does not use AI πŸ˜…

Stop making live-service games.

The market can't sustain their existence and employees don't withstand their failure.

Not every game can be a part-time job for players and most are already entrenched in an old favourite.

"soon, anyone will be able to generate a movie/book/video game/podcast in seconds!" keeps running firmly aground on "even if there was an audience for this uhhhhh content, which there isn't, why would they buy your thing instead of just generating their own?" and it's funny EVERY time

What does matter is that we are beset with the ideology of maximising having while minimizing doing. What happens when you realize the true love who touched your heart isn't even human? The difficulty is why doing something is rewarding There are no shortage of human beings. As with most problems with capitalism, there is only a distribution problem.

I feel like people don't realize how fun the campaign is for this game, especially in VR. This is a steal!

Tweet exchange in which a photo of Anne Hathaway is posted by @TheRoyalSerf, to which user @VvSchweetz24 replies "@grok...do your thing.

@Grok replies: Anne Hathaway isn't Jewish; she was raised Catholic but left the church. She married Adam Shulman (who is Jewish) in 2012 and celebrates Jewish holidays with their kids. SHe's played Jewish roles, like in "Armageddon Time."

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things
