Predictions: It will be the biggest failure of the franchise, just before a big game industry crash, and will be remembered as “the E.T. of the mid-2020’s”. Elon Musk and some other MAGA oligarchs will do their best to consolidate whatever remains of the industry into a few and far-right hands.

For the thousandth time: Translation is not a 1:1 formula, that can be easily automated by a machine.

Racists soon trying to fit the N-word into Nintendo in 3…

Call me old fashioned, but I prefer specialized engines over the current trend of engines being made to do almost anything out of the box.

Also D is not like Brainfuck, but C if it was designed well (and had optional memory safety).

Game engine optimized for retro pixelart aesthetics written in D go BRRR

Contact me in private if you need a programmer. I have my own game engine, but I’m willing to work with other engines.

There likely willl be a few “stick it to the liberals” types that buy up keys en masse then dump them on key reselling sites.

The enshittification of Discord will soon accelerate!

And at that moment, I cancel my subscription and instead give that money for some Matrix instance.

Mostly yes, especially if you’re a big AAA publisher, so your game won’t get buried under cheap shovelware and the latest AAA slop. Also don’t forget that Steam barely does any moderation, especially once you become a power user, so hate groups will buy your game, leave a negative review, then refund it, because a YouTuber named Prof. Chud called it anti-white and anti-male…

Let me guess, Windows also not a monopoly, because Linux exist, and it’s just a loud minority that doesn’t like their data monitored by third parties for “ad” purposes.

If he meant the anti-woke brainrot, then yes, but that itself is just shielding corporations from actual critiques. There’s a very racist and transphobic caricature that even tries to make fun of people that doesn’t blame woke creators, but monetization practices.

Issue is, gamers think the problem with games are minorities.

From what I’ve heard, manufacturers are afraid getting sued for dumb users breaking HDMI plugs into DP sockets and vice versa.

You forgot:

• retroactively patenting game mechanics and suing companies for them

Go in all on it, make PirateSoftware pay for his sin of making an indie live service.

All while anti-woke grifters be like “It must be because there’s WOMZ in it!”.

A big letdown for me is, except with some rare cases, those extra AI features useless outside of AI. Some NPUs are straight out DSPs, they could easily run OpenCL code, others are either designed to not be able to handle any normal floating point numbers but only ones designed for machine learning, or CPU extensions that are just even bigger vector multipliers for select datatypes (AMX).

I get that, but a lot of times, people’s main (and seemingly only problem) is that they can’t (instantly) soyface over what they imagine “games as art” will be.

The “worse graphics” stands for less photorealism. I could tell you about the times when someone wasn’t pushing graphical limits, it was ditched by games journalists for postponing the time when they can finally put on a VR headset to relive the battle of Normandy in first person.

The modders made sure there are some…
