I disagree. Placeholder art should clearly be placeholder art. A stick figure made in Paint is a better placeholder than AI slop. It makes reviewing easier too. Plus you’re not burning tokens, compute and the environment for something that won’t make it into the game.
Gamers are clearly anti GenAI for assets. Any studio who uses GenAI for assets, even placeholders, is taking an easily avoidable risk. Players will find out.
Thanks for the mod suggestions! At the moment I only use farseer (I like pretty vistas). Not being able to move chests was annoying but I managed. Auto map markers sounds useful!
Vintage Story! It’s hard core Minecraft for adults. It’s never on sale so don’t wait for that. It’s been really fun so far, both genuinely and in the Dwarf Fortress “fun” way. I’m coming up on my first winter with no tin for bronze, no warm clothing, only a single (but decent) harvest in my cellar and no livestock except for two boars without a sow to breed them with 😅
Have you seen the IPOs and the rule changes that the stock exchanges and index funds made to please the AI overlords? It’ll be US pension funds left holding the bag when the bubble goes pop
No love for Foundry? It’s really good!
Ehhh… “Spaceman” was pretty good actually
Nothing wrong with a good walking sim IMHO. Some of the best games I’ve played are walking sims (like S.O.M.A.)
I’ve returned to “Foundry” for the latest early access update that added trains. I haven’t played since the EA release last year. It’s shaping up to be pretty good! All the factory goodness from Factorio and Satisfactory but with Minecraft lije destructible terrain.
47 is early 40’s, right? Then count me in!
If I ever see someone wearing smart glasses near me I will slap them off their face.
Ahhh, the scene that spawned a generation of furries 😄
I recently watched this with my kid who just turned 4. It didn’t phase him at all. Mufasa’s death in Lion King is much worse.
I mostly like the Mbin UI better than the Lemmy UI and Piefed UI. It certainly looks better IMHO. There are a few annoying bugs in Mbin where images are sometimes not shown, or gifs are shown as static images. Not often, but it happens occasionally.
https://www.nicegamehints.com/ does that for a lot of games
I don’t know. Must be an Mbin specific bug. I sometimes have a similar problem with gifs not animating on Mbin but working fine when I follow the link back to Lemmy.
Are you on Mbin? I have the same problem…
Time to move companies? I don’t know what sector you are in, but in my sector it won’t be long until AWS means you’re excluded from procurement.
No, they will be relisted at a fair price next week.
It’s not about sales, it’s about base price. And yes, Steam does consider “perpetual sales” a base price. They nearly kicked Ubisoft off Steam for that trick.
