They sound like wacky tentacle monster neighbours in the suburbs who get up to hijinks.

Here is your gold medal and your internet. Excellent work, esteemed Waldon.

Or that we all know what happened to Childs and MacCready but there's just enough wiggle room left by not seeing it for fragile, papery hope to bloom.

Or perhaps go back further still and start labelling the other side correctly.

"That is textbook psychopathy."

Don't forget the GIRL who can FIGHT and has no "Make Sandwich" button, the birds you ride on instead of using a gas-guzzling vehicle, the casino that won't let you go into debt and the Turkbros you get to beat up.

Ruin looks really good - moody chiaroscuro art (I think that's chiaroscuro, anyway, I am not an expert), bad beasties with swords and a list of influences that sound like a hell of a lot of fun!

Anyone out there willing to give me $1 billion so I can fund infinite games like this to completion?

Hot damn, this looks alarmingly good. How is the story, in your own estimation?

Failing all else, a copy of Writers Market might help.

I can't help but feel that Catland should be more devastated with Orange Ones of that size.

Hartnell had multi-episode little story arcs too! Though so many episodes are missing from his era.

I'm also the last person in the world who hasn't been surgically grafted to her phone. And I'm a game dev who lives with a game... whatever my partner does. So everything in our house is black. My phone is also black. I have never managed to find it in time to pass 2-factor auth on the first try.

Yeah, it puts me in "stab myself in the eye" territory as well. I have so many titles on both GoG and Steam because I get confused about what I have and waste money.

Frontiers | Artificial Intelligence Is Stupid and Causal Reasoning Will Not Fix It Artificial Neural Networks have reached โ€˜Grandmasterโ€™ and even โ€˜super-humanโ€™ performanceโ€™ across a variety of games, from those involving perfect-information...

He's the chap who used to give a talk called "Dancing with Pixies" which was about how AI is not intelligent.

He also wrote "Artificial Intelligence is Stupid and Causal Reasoning Will Not Fix It": www.frontiersin.org/journals/psy...

You know who else somehow isn't getting rich off this new AI boom?

A chap called James Mark Bishop.

He used to be a professor of mine.

He also invented the Stochastic Search that LLM-based AI use to make their logic fuzzy and increase the speed with which they find relevant data.

This was about Amazon's efforts to create a "Steam-killing" platform - I don't quite see where the piracy fits into it?

QA has its own kind of creativity too - and good QA are absolutely vital. Given that AI is rather... unreliable at professional quality levels at the moment (which is a nice way of saying it doesn't work), I'd rather have people.

Yeah... Show me the AI that can help me track *narrative* bugs the way a human QA can.

If you search TikTok for Hurricane Melissa videos right now, you'll see a flood of AI-generated and fake videos.

These AI videos include eye of the storm views from above, sharks swimming in floodwaters, huge waves battering towns, destroyed airports, and fake news reports.

I wish that didn't turn out to be true quite so often.

Well, he works for a company that killed its own book sales by allowing absolutely anyone to self-publish any old shit (which actually got a lot of great new authors out there, but now they have to compete with 11 year olds' English homework). So I guess he figured they wouldn't understand.

It would be Unity dropping Renderware all over again.

People already had games on Steam and didn't want to split their collection up for endless new platforms. Simples.

I am in awe that they still haven't worked out why they couldn't make a dent in Steam. Because everything they say there is wrong. *

*I may also be capable of being wrong, but having been lectured repeatedly, against my will, on games marketing by my expert partner, I think I have it this time.
