Well that’s someone I haven’t heard about for a long time.
- Comment on Deltarune is halfway done, but it feels like a full game 5 days ago:
It does. I’m on my 4th run now and so far I’m convinced that this is related to W.D.Gaster more than anything. I love it. The music is better than undertale‘s. Every chapter feels like its own game, and 2 chapters are about as long as Undertale.

I bet all of those “influencers” and “tech gurus” who told the people not to buy one already have one themselves.
- Comment on "I've Made The Equivalent Of Like 2 And A Half Undertales At This Point"- A Quick 'Deltarune' Chat With Toby Fox 1 week ago:
I just finished it for the second time; the writing is good, just like undertale. A lot of wrong hints are thrown towards you, like when it seems that two characters are connected for a long time, you play the previous sections up to this point in your head with the new knowledge, only for it to be obviously wrong. I like it better than undertale, but the music is a little less catchy.
- Comment on Runway is going to let people generate video games with AI 1 week ago:
Well I get AI for NPC dialogues and images for visual novels, because some just aren’t talented and don’t have the money to pay an artist for a free game.
It when you say an ai “I want this in my game” and it does that? If you have no idea of coding it’s going to be an unoptimized 13 frames mess.
Ai has its place in gaming, but it’s not the code IMHO

Yay! More AI slob games that all play the same and all look the same! Wonderful!

- Comment on Genshin Impact Will Soon Require Age Verification in the United States 2 months ago:
Easier to implement that way, and they’re on the safe side if one lives on the border, is counted towards state 1 by law but gets internet connection (or IP) from state 2

Off with your clickbait titles, bot. At least use some LLM to get a short conclusion as the subtitle.

- Comment on Almost a third of developers think generative AI is a negative for the games industry, says new survey 5 months ago:
But if you put someone with no experience in game design in charge of making this, it will just be another boring generic city or forest. I don’t want the city to look like something I’ve seen before - I want a cool experience. Minecraft and games like these only work because they are sandbox games in the first place and open world in the second. And they also don’t use AI but rather an algorithm and a seed to calculate the worlds.
Xenoblade, Zelda, the Witcher, GTA - they all have handcrafted worlds. Every tree is placed with meaning, every hill used to keep you wondering what you’ll find next, every quest fleshing out to the game‘s world and its characters.
But I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt if you show me a single game where AI made something better, heck, it only has to be somewhat acceptable, than a simple seed based algorithm could have done it.
- Comment on Almost a third of developers think generative AI is a negative for the games industry, says new survey 5 months ago:
For me, ironically, the best use is useless NPCs. Use Generative-AI to make the crowd look huge and unique and not copy-pasted. But don’t use it for anything else.
- Comment on Dino Crisis-esque horror Code Violet won't be coming to PC because the risk of "vulgar" mods isn't worth the "extra money" 5 months ago:
But all the bought assets look good!
Could be playing Sir Whoopass instead tho. Better experience for PC gamers www.gog.com/de/game/sir_whoopass_immortal_death

- Comment on Report: 82% of US gamers made an in-game purchase in freemium titles in 2023 11 months ago:
The question is: does “ad-free” or “purchase the whole game” affect this percentage? Because there’s games, like Super Mario Run, where you get the whole game downloaded, but World 1 is the demo and after that there’s an in-game purchase for the full game.

I mean, isn’t it a motherfucking job?

- Comment on Palestinian Relief Bundle includes indie classics (and hundreds more) for just $8 1 year ago:
Yea most of those games are shitty dating sims. A short hike is definitely the gem of this bundle, costing $8 in steam by itself. If you don’t own that I can recommend getting this bundle, if not, skip it
