Look at town to city, their characters are like four voxels wide and have plenty of character. You can go the AI route but I think the art would always end up just looking like it’s AI, always just a little bit off. It all depends on the style of your game.
If you’re going the photo realistic route you can still do it without AI, just use something like metahumans or one of the many equivalents.

So you’re angry that it is theoretically possible that the client contains AI code and therefore in your mind it there definitely does.

Why would it? The client has been around for ages and hasn’t changed in all that time. So your getting mad about a hypothetical. Your weird.

Hence the need for the AI tag.

Because store bought assets are still quality assets not a human made. The only reason it sounds silly is because you went out of your way to make it silly.
- Comment on [Meta] This community has been renamed to Steam Hardware to include the newly annouced Steam Machine and Steam Frame 2 weeks ago:
I suspect that if anything is going to become big enough to warrant its own community it would probably be steamOS rather than any of the hardware, after all in a few months the hardware will be out and there won’t be as much to talk about.
But the OS is going to be getting updates I would assume, so there’s always going to be new topics
- Comment on People are playing fewer games and new releases are "struggling", say Ubisoft UK, warning of falling revenues 2 weeks ago:
Maybe it’s just a ubisoft problem. Maybe they should just try making it good game.

I mean, I’ve been running Linux off it on a Pi for years without issue.

You could use isopropyl alcohol and a piezoelectric speaker.

Like Fusion the year of Linux is always next year. It will be next year forever.
- Comment on DVDs are dying right as streaming has made them appealing again 1 year ago:
It just looks like a DVD, with a slightly purple tint. All Blu-Rays are is DVDs with denser data encoding.
You probably have had one or two and not known about it, most games consoles use blu-rays now as well.
- Comment on Valve has little to worry about as new Steam Deck rival arrives 1 year ago:
See I’m really split on Epic.
The corporate side is absolute trash, but UE5 is genuinely one of the most advanced game engines currently in existence and will massively push the industry forward in terms of standards as everyone rushes to compete (except for Unity who are sticking with their old strategy of doing nothing at all).
- Comment on Valve has little to worry about as new Steam Deck rival arrives 1 year ago:
It’s really low res as well. Weird.

- Comment on It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine 1 year ago:
I have no idea if this works iPhones because Apple pretty restrictive (Do they allow anyone to use anything other than Safari or are they still on that anti-consumer kick), but on Android you can set the browser engine the in-app browsers use. So you can set it to Firefox and then have plugins.
I’m using that now.
Or you can just turn in-app browsers off.
- Comment on It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine 1 year ago:
So a PC in a cool case?
The problem with going proprietary is that then, well, it’s proprietary. So either they use off the shelf components in which case it’s basically a PC, or they use custom stuff which might improve performance depending on what they do, but will make it difficult to repair and upgrade. Then you rely on Valve producing hardware components, and they’re not really a hardware company, although in fairness they’re also not doing badly at it.

Using an ad blocker is basically requirement of browsing the internet at the moment.
- Comment on Bureau Of Prisons Seeking To Criminalize Social Media Access By Inmates 1 year ago:
If you’re going to insult someone they actually have to understand the insult these internal references don’t make sense to anyone who isn’t in your little social circle of want to be fascists.
If you want to die death by cop be my guest, but don’t risk anyone else’s life in the process.

So you want to be a terrorist and / or serial killer?
Should we be reporting you to someone?

I don’t know maybe they become self-aware and protest all of the drowning victims that have suffered as a result of the removal of the pool stairs.

- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1 1 year ago:
I’m just concerned that they’re going to go all in on GTA online 2.
They either need to make sure they put a huge amount of effort into the single player or they need to completely rework online play.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1 1 year ago:
I just wonder if they can actually figure out a way to make GTA online actually fun. Because It really isn’t a good game mode.
All of the online modes that are actually fun are all modded servers. The mental service are awful you spawn in and get blown up instantly, how’s that fun?
- Comment on What is the thing that resembles a camera shoe under the handset holder found on telephones with a handset used for? 1 year ago:
Lots of people in this thread answering the question but they’re kind of just guessing what you’re talking about.
Perhaps you could circle the bit in question because it’s either a holder for the headset or a way to mount the entire device onto a wall or something else depending on if we’ve interpreted your words correctly.
- Comment on What is the thing that resembles a camera shoe under the handset holder found on telephones with a handset used for? 1 year ago:
Right but there isn’t anything that resembles that in the image

Next gen consoles are years out. You’re looking at 2029 at the earliest for the next generation of consoles.
