  For me, intend to dislike pure roguelikes because of the lack of meta progression. I tend to get a limited amount of time to play, so I don’t like games that require a time sink to get enjoyment. And as I get older I’m getting less ‘gud’ at games too. This is the reason I avoid almost all multiplayer, most grindy single player (ubisoft) and pretty much all soulslikes.

  I like the feedback loop of the game getting easier without me necessarily having to do the heavy lifting of getting better. And it doesn’t have to be straight upgrades. Hades with its weapons is mostly sidegrades, and those are fun too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This was a great read! As someone who was initially excited about the possibilities of AI art, it’s been hit or miss with me.

  I’ve come to realise over time that I like the connection that art offers. The little moment of ‘I wonder what the artist was thinking when they imagined this and what experiences did someone have to get to a place where they could visualize and create this?’

  And I think that’s what missing with AI art. Sure, it can enable someone like me who has no skill with drawing to create something but it doesn’t get to the point of putting my actual imagination down. The repeated tries can only get to point of ‘close enough’.

  For me, looking at a piece and then learning it’s AI art is basically realizing that I’m looking at a computer generated imitation of someone’s imagination. Except the imitation was created by describing the art instead of the imitator ever looking at it. An connection I could have felt with original human is watered down as to be non-existent.

  Shouldn’t the point of prison rehabilitation be that the inmates be encouraged to build stronger social connections to reduce recidivism? Isolating and further punishing them like this seems like it’s going to make it more difficult to rebuild their lives post incarceration.

  Handle needs some kind of texture, or else may become slippery.
