what's the difference between seals, and sea lions?

a few electrons



they way they make it seems the worst possible implementation. just 2 long thin tubes?

why not 2 reservoirs and valves?


Question, do you think getting the game without ever buying any dlc. the game is enjoyable? is it how it is meant to be played?

the point of a car is to drive, if I buy a car it should drive. if I need aftermarket parts for something else that is a different issue.

another example, Age of Empires II. Chuck full of DLC, and I don’t think anyone ever complained about it, and in fact it is celebrated. because they did a full game, and instead of making a sequel, they just did new campaigns, and they are still releasing more. You can actually get the base game and never spend a peny more, and it is exactly how it was meant to be played on release.

The problem is that game companies are run by executives who want to prioritise profit, and they ignore user experience or worker welfare. amd end up making shitty products then fire the programmer who actually made the game.


still, the business model is to release an incomplete product with intention to sell components piecemeal.

imagine buying a car, and you can’t drive it off because tires, windshield wipers, windows, seats, steering wheell… weren’t included and you have to pay extra for them.


then make a videogame, not part of a game for 59.99$ then you have to buy the rest of the game picmeal. only so the executives get bonuses and the people actually working get crunch time.


invalid question,

I think getting kicked in the nuts hurt and I don’t like it

WELL? WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GET KICKED???



i don’t think they embedded pico 8 in the celsete, but rather made a pico8 clone. of the original prototype


love it, wish there were ports in main consoles to share games.

it’s fun to make them there, and some people make amazing ganes for it




the trailer are mostly from cutsenes, the actual gameplay is more like Animal Crossings


is this that game where you fight countless enemies?

i had it on a psx demo disk and loved it, but forgot the name.

all I remember is that you can also ride animals like horses and elephants.



not infinite lines, just enough to find tune a model for a specific character.

also, i mean proper voice actors, the ones that can make countless distinct characters with different voices and accents.

i don’t mean buying someone’s voice, i mean hiring a voice actor to make up a specific character and have ownership of that character.


without that tech they would have hired a voice actor anyways, or what would be better, get a voice actor, create a character, have him voice a shit ton of lines with different emotions, timber, whispers… fine tune a model in that character, that would make every character sound unique and much less robotic.


another use, draw assets for a age of empires like game. then generate a diffusion model on them. now you can make rows of houses and non of them will be identical and all will fit in the art style.

same things with textures, no more repeating textures.


instead of writing pages of dialogue, write a lot of back story, personality, interests, knowledge, info they have, quests they have to share, sample of how they talk…

fine tune models… this way each character would sound unique, rather than standard chat gpt.

a good prototype would be about a village with about a dozen of NPCs.



what I want with AI games: Free conversations with NPCs who react to your actions.

what I don’t want, endless slop


an unelected duopoly can basically dictate global laws.

definitely dystopian



I’m betting switch 2 implementation will be gradual, as switches get old and break, they will be replaced by the switch 2.

plus the occasional holiday consumption.


I assume there are licencing issues, as they might need to negotiate the all the rights for the songs again.

on the other hand, would it be possible to “cheat the system” and allow users to also get the original game, unremastered and if the original, with the original music is installed, the remastered version could be made to read the music from the original files.

maybe even just call it an extra 1$ dlc for the original unremastered.
