Dear powerful assholes: it doesn’t take much to stay on the tolerable side of pissing people off, and still get a boner from exercising control over the little people. Human beings will put up with a lot. But when you start locking people up for life, just for publicly sassing you… all you’re doing is driving that near-universal anger to places you won’t see it building.

… how the fuck else was it supposed to happen?
I don’t want to talk to a game.
Then why did you review this title?!
Here is my drive-by reaction to this: if you don’t value the written word enough to have a writer create unique, intentional dialogue, then why make a game based around conversation?
Because a human accounting for all possible inputs is impossible, you dingdong.
The sole screenshot is a brain in a bucket, and this article has absolutely nothing to say about the content of the game. However you feel about LLMs - these devs didn’t prime the NPCs with “You’re in an Agatha Christie story, go.” They’ve got some kind of wacky bullshit going on, and stylish macabre presentation, and (one would fucking hope) an underlying mystery.
This isn’t Shadows Of Doubt, right? Because that game actually does let the machine make up the story.
This kneejerk clickbait crap doesn’t even address the obvious concerns about the one part it’s fixated on. Is the LLM local? Or will this game suddenly stop working, when OpenAI changes their pricing? If it actually runs on your PC, does it require beeftank specs just to show visual-novel presentation? Does it trickle out words like everyone’s on quaaludes, if you use a laptop over wifi?

This is self-reporting, but - I think Youtube knows when I’m drunk. The recommendations become a lot of music videos I’ve seen before. And they’re not wrong.

Demand and petition are opposite, genius.
Don’t treat customers as if anything short groveling for crumbs is acting above their station. People who adore this product got together on their own time to hash out why, specifically, they feel dissatisfied. They collaboratively presented a single document explaining what could go better and why it’s important. And you’re treating that like it’s some 90s edgelord with an I HATE BG3 page on GeoCities because they didn’t add any of the cool story ideas he e-mailed them.
What exactly is negative about people saying, ‘We’re excited to sink a shitload of time into adding stuff to this game for free, please do more technical communication?’

… Jesus, is that what you think whining looks like? That’s the most polite request for information possible, after a bunch of people got together and discussed it amongst themselves.
