If there’s a good in-game group finder, where you can specify like “first time doing it” or “chill group” vs “speed runner” then it’s probably fine. If you can find players, that is.
I played a lot of guild wars 2. I’d start groups on the lfg with a message like “chill [content] run - I don’t care about your build” and people would join, and we’d have a fine time.
Some other MMO, I forget which, I’d end up sitting at the lfg for a long time and never got a full group
This is why gamers will own nothing and love it.
It’s just children eating marshmallows.
Being mildly uncomfortable and skipping the new hotness is just unthinkable for a lot of people.
I feel like if I was playing a scheduled game, I’d rather just play a tabletop RPG than be tied down to this game engine. But I guess the scale is different here and that might be interesting.
I did recently start a tabletop game, though with a system I like a thousand times more than DND.
I recently reinstalled nwn enhanced to see if I would enjoy it so many years later. The answer is no. DND 3rd is a bad system and nwn is slow and clunky. So much time is spent just watching animations. No tactical decisions. Just watch animations as it rolls dice.
It doesn’t help that the original campaign is bad.
Maybe it’s better in multiplayer, which admittedly is the main topic here. But the single player was so bad I can’t imagine wanting more.
Anyone can go through the code. And maybe find things, if they’re not too subtle and not successfully obfuscated. But not everyone will.
I feel like a malicious actor could hit a big pay day with a popular thing like Bloodborne, before people found the malice. There’s plenty of malware posing as game cracks out there, and it’s only easier to do that with AI tooling.
But aside from that, AI code can have confidentially incorrect code that has unwanted consequences.
Code review is difficult.
I don’t believe so, but I imagine people are working on that.
Along the same lines as the other guy said.
It’s difficult to verify that the software does the desired thing in all cases. It’s also difficult to verify that it’s not also a keylogger or other unwanted thing.
It may also have some AI generated code path that, say, nukes your home directory because the AI determined that was the appropriate error handling. Maybe no one reviewed it so they don’t even know it’s there. It might not even be malicious.
That’s all true of any software, but rapidly created AI generated code for legally dubious efforts, by unknown agents (no pun intended) is real hecking risky.
Sure but if it works it works right?
Verifying that software does the intended task and only the intended task is not trivial.
There’s already emulators that run fine. This seems extremely sketchy.
What’s the monetization plan? I don’t do subscriptions but would consider a buy-once or old fashioned “buy expansions every year or so”
Interesting. I played the game a fair amount, but it doesn’t usually hook me. I feel like exploring is often kind of hollow and I don’t find interesting stuff
He also earned a very specific fame for his “You’re not supposed to be here” Easter egg in Duke Nukem 3D, which was only accessible via cheating.
Oh! I remember that one!
I’m pretty happy with libre office. Not keen on AI code
People making the decisions are removed from how work gets done, how users engage with the product, and any real consequences. But they keep most the profits despite contributing minimally.
I dislike AI. It’s like the one ring. Stop trying to use it. But all these people think they’re stronger than Boromir.
That’s tough. Lot of choices. Are we filtering by “most impactful” or “most likely to replay” or something else? I’ll go games that made a big impression on me. There’s some boss towards older games.
Haha get fucked DoorDash. I’ll pick up my own food before using them.
Sales number is the only language they speak.
They also speak violence, but historically that’s in the form of the rich and/or the state attacking labor.
Microsoft should be broken up. They never should have been allowed to get so big in the first place.
Mandated in office is a climate crime. Send the leadership to do climate repair and seize their wealth. /Bangs judge gavel
