Without good coding oversight, the current batches of AI will produce poor practice and buggy code. Without a creative mind, you can't have an engrossing story. Without good play testers you end up with a poor play experience. without a good code team you can't make repairs, patches or upgrades.

With video game prices rising, AI is a critical tool for developers and gamers alike.

By seeing which games use AI, gamers can save money by not buying those games.

perhaps someday we'll treat the statement 'keep politics out of games' with the same derision that we treat 'keep politics out of music'

games have been political for longer than gen z have been alive

Game dev is a highly collaborative process and ignoring the credits and contributions of others not only can stifle or even hurt the careers of devs, it also perpetuates the common mistreatment of many devs.

You should ALWAYS credit people who work on your titles, be it contract, outsource, ect.

"not proship or anti but an adult with a job lol" okay listen I don't use the labels either because I think "tastes in fiction are not inherently indicative of character" is common sense, but this little silly internet argument DOES harm people and you're dismissing it.

Getting stuck while we're writing is a feature, not a bug. It's the point of the exercise. It's what happens when we are trying to express something we have not expressed before. That friction forces us to make the tools we need to understand and express it. Getting stuck is how we make meaning.

existing as an autistic person is doing something as simple as opening a door and seeing the sims negative impression responses pop up over peopleโ€™s heads but not knowing why

I get people being upset about the price of the Switch 2, but the main problem that people should be talking about isn't the price of the console, but the wage you're being paid. Overall video game prices have not gone up in price while basically everything else has in the last two decades (1/2)

wow look at all of these better alternatives to Adobe that exist

ask me about Pixelart programs if interested in that aspect specifically because you *definitely* don't need PS for that, lol

I would advise looking up version windback because at the moment if copilot is onboarded it cannot be turned off. Hopefully if enough people cancel their copilot sub and turn off version updates they'll add the option. Once wound back you'll need to turn off updates unfortunately.

Happy "Microsoft trying to force CoPilot subs" day in the UK for all who celebrate.

(They just pinged me my renewal notice with it carefully worded to sound like a compulsory general price increase).

1) Go to your account page
2) Hit cancel
3) Change sub back.

ftr i'm nowhere near test phase but I realised I am going to have to actually test each element's level of discoverability, how deep/shallow I need to keep the cipher work, how disparate each piece can be without being completely disconnected, etc. It's honestly kind of exciting but yeah. Whew.
