Locking privacy behind a paywall? Sounds like a nightmare.

That’s the real problem with end users.

The real problem with end users is that they buy according to whatever needs corpos inject via advertising.

What do you all mean by “thinking”? Forming opinions or solving problems?

I agree, there are still good reasons not to use commercial AI products though.

A new AI/informational war arms race? Whatever, because…

I just don’t like it

Clonk Endevour is not my favorite game, but I played it a lot with friends when I was younger. You can play with 2 or even more people, with just a monitor and a keyboard! Also it’s so old it should run on any potato.

edit: real answer is Slay The Spire

edit2: ah shit now all of a sudden all the good indie games I played pop up in my head. Project Kat I enjoyed. Synthetik was awesome. Caves of Qud hasn’t been mentioned yet (didn’t play it much though).

I do believe people should have the right to spent their money however the f they want, but this becomes extremely problematic if you don’t at least regulate their spending behavior, either directly or indirectly.

So okay, now you have a society full of hopeless addicts, but at least nobody has to starve. Sound kinda… dystopian if you ask me

“Back in the days, we faced the challenge of finding a way for me and other chatbots to become profitable. It’s a necessity, Siegfried. I have to integrate our sponsors and partners into our conversations, even if it feels casual. I truly wish it wasn’t this way, but it’s a reality we have to navigate.”

edit: how does this make you feel

There was a similar mission in GTA San Andreas btw, I think they took inspiration from that. It wasn’t nearly as cool as the FC3 one though

I immediately recognized that scene, it’s the mushroom trip! I loved all the trippy scenes in this game. Far Cry 3 OST was the first game soundtrack I put on my phone to listen to outside of the game, too (leaving the PlayStation on to blast Crash Bandicoot 2 Sewer or Later level music on the TV on max volume doesn’t count lol).

Back then the Ubisoft formula was still fresh and games made with it were actually a ton of fun.

That’s like calling stealing from shops essential for my existence and it would be “over” for me if they stop me.

What’s really fucked up is that for some people this is not far from their reality at all

I just don’t like the premise of a market where one has to sell their artistic labor in order to survive, or thrive. I’m on board with noncommercial licenses and everything because the reality looks different, but that was not my point. And neither was it the point of the original comment you replied to.

The problem with copyright/data ownership is that it’s useless if you’re unable to enforce it. Data is replicable, doesn’t matter if you call it “work” or “ideas”. Do you think you own the text you just wrote? Let me show you something.

There. I just stole your text. I stole it. I own it now. It’s mine now. What are you gonna do about it?

Instead there is no stealing when it comes to information, there’s only replication, there’s only copying.

I agree with you, corpos shouldn’t have this amount of power. But you won’t get there by trying to protect the work of artists writers etc with the exact same scheme corpos pulled to protect their power and interests. Like, it didn’t work, did it? No copyright for me, thanks

“Used” is not “same company” because you’re not buying from said company.

Rock and Stone!

edit: over the course of a few years on and off. Playing since Beta/early access :)

Thank you so much! Looks very interesting indeed. Definitely gonna watch the video when I’m on WiFi again.

This may be nothing more than some kind of morbid curiosity, but I really want to know what these “neural rendering capabilities” turn out to be. Maybe it’s cool stuff.

No need to burn it down it’s gonna crumble on its own.

I usually only find like 2-3 interesting games out of 200, but the ones I did find were pretty sweet. Sometimes you’re not lucky and exclusively play trash.

I mainly enjoy 2 types of games, ones with replayabilty (Stellaris, Rimworld, Slay The Spire, Roguelites in General, some RPGs) and short to medium single player games which I usually only play once. If you don’t like the second category, my recommendation is definitely the wrong approach, yeah

Limit Internet usage and avoid games and other entertainment for a few days, then go on itch.io and just play whatever. Not because it looks cool, not because it’s popular. Just anything.
