No, I shared my experience with the game and then explained why I think it’s also totally valid and relatable why they couldn’t get into it when they played it. Sometimes art is timeless, sometimes it can only be properly experienced in the time it was made for.
Although I guess most art won’t hold up if reading comprehension continues to plummet…
When the fuck did I say any of that??
I don’t know why you recommend games to people, but I do it so others can find enjoyment. I had a deeply meaningful experience from the game that I like talking about, but I also think it won’t hit the same in 2026. I just don’t think others will have that kind of experience with nier in the current media environment.
It sounds hard to be so insecure in your own tastes that you need external validation
Who cares if it’s slop or not, you already killed the consumer market so no one will be able to run it
The game is a true masterpiece, one of the best works of art I’ve ever experienced. The pacing and story were amazing, even the boring and annoying parts are perfectly seasoned with new information so that your interest and investment to the story deepens
It’s a world and a story that flows like music, repeating the same melody over and over with new instruments joining in and swelling with each repetition. It constantly adds new information that recontextualizes the story entirely with masterful timing
I also don’t recommend the game to people. It was perfectly tuned in a way that no longer works, it was made for society a decade ago. Sadly, I don’t think you can get the same experience anymore… We just aren’t the same as we were then
That’s the kind of incomprehensible thinking AI is best at
Microsoft is getting out of the console wars to consolidate around desktop (and couch) computing. They’re never going to beat steam and they’re never going to make a trillion dollars fighting Sony another generation
I think modern phones are just too big. I don’t want to hold a tablet up to my face
Personally, I just carry a headset, but if that dies it’s only consideration for others that might stop me from putting it on speaker
Standardization and automated processes will fix that
I think they mean microblogging as a format
I’ve heard “join the discord” pretty often too
I haven’t seen that, but the memory footprint is insane
What the shit??? Fucking team Cherry, they always hit you out of nowhere…
I don’t think you understand what doing code reviews is like.
So someone submits terrible code. You don’t get to just say “this is bad code” and reject it wholesale, you have to explain in exhaustive detail what the problems are. Doing otherwise leads to really toxic environments. It’s killed countless projects
That’s why you write rules. You don’t have to argue if they need tests or not, you tap the sign and reject it without actually reviewing it if it doesn’t meet the requirement
Same thing here. You open up vibe coded nonsense so you tap the sign and reject it without bothering to review it. Do the same thing with “bad code” as a reason and it starts insane drama.
People are really sensitive about their code, and there’s a whole methodology around how to do without ending up in a screaming match
Well I was just arguing that people generally are using AI irresponsibly, but if you want to get specific…
You say ban the users, but realistically how are they determining that? The only way to reliably check if something is AI is human intuition. There’s no tool to do that, it’s a real problem
So effectively, they made it an offense to submit AI slop. Because if you just use AI properly as a resource, no one would be able to tell
So what are you upset about?
They did basically what you suggested, they just did it by making a rule so that they can have a reason to reject slop without spending too much time justifying the rejection
People have already died to AI. It’s cute when the AI tells you to put glue on your pizza or asks you to leave your wife, it’s not so cute when architects and doctors use it
Bad information can be deadly. And if you rely too hard on AI, your cognitive abilities drop. It’s a simple mental shortcut that works on almost everything
It’s only been like 18 months, and already it’s become very apparent a lot of people can’t be trusted with it. Blame and punish those people all you want, it’ll just keep happening. Humans love their mental shortcuts
Realistically, I think we should just make it illegal to have customer facing LLMs as a service. You want an AI? Set it up yourself. It’s not hard, but realizing it’s just a file on your computer would do a lot to demystify it
We do this all the time. I’m certified for a whole bunch of heavy machinery, if I were worse people would’ve died
And even then, I’ve nearly killed someone. I haven’t, but on a couple occasions I’ve come way too close
It’s good that I went through training. Sometimes, it’s better to restrict who is able to use powerful tools
Okay, that’s pretty fair. You seem to understand the tool properly
I’d argue that version control is not the correct layer to evaluate output, but it is a tool that can be used in many different ways…I don’t think that’s a great workflow, but I can conceive situations where that’s viable enough
If I were handing out authorizations to use AI, you’d get it
That sounds like copium… But I’ll hear you out. What if VC? It better not be version control
The difference is people aren’t being responsible with AI
You’re projecting competence onto others. You speak like you’re using AI responsibly
I use AI when it makes things easier. All the time. I bet you do too. Many people are using AI without a steady hand, without the intellectual strength to use it properly in a controlled manner
A domain is a url, like oaksprout.com. A provider is a server/computer that the domain points at. Many services sell both together at an upcharge, but a domain itself usually costs like ~$15 a year
If an IP address is a mailing address, imagine a domain as a way to pay the post office so people can just address it to oaksprout. You could have them forward your mail to your house, or you could send it to a PO box or business address, and change it whenever you want
The provider is like the mailbox in this metaphor… It receives the mail and holds it for you
