- Comment on Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year 1 day ago:
Squadron was just another turd on the dumpster fire for me. I didn’t back the project for it, but the fact that it’s been “two years away” for the last decade +, is just another indicator of how much of a scam this thing is. I will be seriously shocked if they manage to finally push it out the door next year, and even more shocked if it is not a totally shit show. There’s no way it lives up to how insanely high it has been hyped up, and I’m just going to be chowing down on popcorn when the shit hits the fan.

I am ashamed to admit that I fell for the scam. It was 2019, and Pyro was right around the corner (except it wasn’t, and wouldn’t make it into the game until 2025). They showed off jump points with a super amazing megastructure ring, an in depth economy simulation, and lots of other really interesting stuff that has still not made it into the game.
Over time, I began to realize I had been scammed. The game just continued to be broken and lacking in features, update after update. Eventually I had enough and sold my account for good in 2024, with the 4th consecutive year of failing to deliver Pyro Since then, I have continued to check in and have not once regretted my decision to cash out of the scam. It is still a buggy and unfun mess. They have scaled back their projections for 1.0 from 100 systems to 5. Their idea of science and exploration is “go here and scan”. It is a shell of the game that was promised years ago, and will never be able to live up to the hype. Overpromise and underdeliver is their mantra.

- Comment on NVIDIA Puts 100-Hour Monthly Limit on All GeForce NOW Subscriptions 4 days ago:
I have had a founders membership for many years. Been holding onto it because of I cancel I would lose the founders discount. It dawned on me that I’ve used this service less than half a dozen times in all the years I have had it and it’s been a pretty poor experience each time. With that, and the fact that Nvidia has become an albatross around the neck of the worlds economy, I decided to finally cancel.

I have been wondering about setting up wii controllers on my batocera box I built. I have no clue how to go about it, but I do know that there is an aiming setting for games like duck hunt. Not sure how easy it would be to set up overall, vs just using the actually wii I have directly.

I have seen people scammed from preloaded boxes. I recommend just DIYing it, it’s not too difficult to do.

Just built a batocera box from a PC I found on the trash. Only had to buy a wifi/Bluetooth card for $40 and now I can play every system up to PS3.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 1 week ago:
Yea, and those people are wrong and dumb. To completely disqualify a game for simply using placeholder AI art work is idiotic. You’re welcome to disagree as well, but I’m gonna call a spade a spade.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 1 week ago:
No, I’m pointing out the hypocrisy and nonsensical nature of such rules. GenAI is not allowed for giving an “unfair” advantage, but engines with a lot of tools and automations don’t? It’s just an arbitrary line.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 1 week ago:
You just highlighted perfectly how the rules are idiotic. Why are we treating game development like it’s some kind of competitive sport? Why should we restrict the tools people use to develop their games? Should we only say that people can use a particular game engine, because certain other game engines have a lot of tools and automation that make the development process easier? It’s a really a ridiculous way of thinking.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 1 week ago:
I never said they didn’t break the rules, but that doesn’t mean that the rules are idiotic.
I would again point to utilizing pre-existing assets as placeholders. Do you think that that is an ok thing to do, and if so, why is that ok, but using an AI generated placeholder is not?
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 1 week ago:
I don’t think it is conflating any issues. I am aware that the rules said no use of AI. The issue is that such a rule is silly, because it is based on the idea that somehow using AI is inherently bad. I didn’t bring up the issue of whether AI is plagiarizing, you did, or someone else did, I haven’t been keeping track, but it was a response to the claim that using AI is plagiarism, which it patently is not. All of these “separate” issues were simply things I was responding to by commenters.
Your claim that using AI will inherently result in a less authentic product is something I disagree with. Again, especially in the way it was used here. Would you assert that using existing art work as an inspiration for your art work results in an inherently less authentic product? How about using a pre-made asset as a placeholder to get the development process rolling? That is my point, it was not like they tried to pass of an AI generated piece of artwork as their own, they just used it as inspiration to start the process. I don’t see why this is any different from any of the other methods I mentioned.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 1 week ago:
It kind of is. They didn’t use the final model in the game, just for prototyping. How is that different from pulling together different models as inspiration, or using a premade asset as a placeholder? How is it plagiarizing to use an algorithm that synthesizes different things together to get the ball rolling on the creative process? These are all different approaches to doing the same thing, but apparently using AI is a sin so bad that the entire game is now condemned for it?
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 1 week ago:
So you’re telling me that no artist in history has looked at the work of others and used that for inspiration? Really?
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 1 week ago:
Oh, ok, so then people should stop using computers to design characters, and go back to pen and paper. Or wait, the pen and paper are a tool too, they should just imagine the character in their mind…
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 1 week ago:
How does genAI diminish the work of others? It’s simply a tool, and if anything it enhances that work, allowing someone to rapidly prototype and develop their ideas.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 1 week ago:
I know full well that the long version will be down voted as well. There is no nuance with those who have made up their mind about AI, and any use of it, for any reason, is despicable to them.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 1 week ago:
It’s not hate, I just think it’s sad when people diminish the work of others, simply because they used a particular tool. It would be like disqualifying an Olympic athlete for training using VR. Just because you don’t like the method they used doesn’t mean that person didn’t still put in the work to get the end result they did.

I have to give credit where credits due, I appreciate you fast forwarding the conversation. Where you start to lose me is where you say who gives a shit about what data structure you use. Is it not important to use efficient filtering algorithms so data is streamed quickly? Just because you would not think to present it that way does not mean another human would not. I’m not going to call you an ad hominem, I am just literally confused at what your point is, and why you can’t just acknowledge the work by humans that was clearly out into this.
