Same, but to my knowledge it’s not possible. The engine is too outdated, and Godot wouldn’t feel the same.

Because if they kill Palworld, that proves they are willing to cross that line and deserve to be destroyed, and they very clearly WANT to destroy Palworld.

If Nintendo actually wins this, I will - as someone who grew up with Pokémon - destroy them as a company. I will slander them into submission if I have to, fuck them if I can’t even have a circus to go with my bread.

What’s the street address of Google again? I’m already homicidally insane, I’ll start by burning them TO THE FUCKING GROUND.

And then people wonder why I have more hope for Star Citizen (currently on Alpha 3.22.x and about to go to 3.23, which will likely involve a big number of features being completed) which has been in development for 12 goddamn years, than I do for Bethesda games. Fallout peaked at New Vegas and 4 was just borrowing from Obsidian’s successful design.

Freaking Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man’s Sky were able to be fixed, this is a corporate culture issue.

To be fair, I use a simple smartlock whose only purpose is so I alone can unlock my bedroom door without needing my physical key duplicated for others to enter at desired times.

To also be fair, I have a hodgepodge of smarthome lights and plugs linked via ifttt that I am now worried will not have any replacement option in 15 years. Maybe I made a mistake, but I do actually have a need to rely on a smartswitch to turn off the lights when I leave home.

Okay, is it just me or is the total global revenue for physical media music less than $2 USD a year? I must be reading it wrong.

I actually may have confused two threads about this topic and forgotten which poster I was trying to respond to. To be clear, all I wanted to say - in short, that I agree with her if she’s arguing in good faith, but that doesn’t justify the above poster hating Israelis and the words “finally, etc.” sounded anti-semetic. Any past online behavior of mine that suggested I feel otherwise is not something I want to influence people to hate a group, and I felt that needed to be pointed out. In the past I’ve made mistakes in my online posts, visible or not, but I never hated anyone for beliefs, only individual actions. My words were not the right ones, I get it. Please stop, I am trying to be unbiased and not “politically correct” because history doesn’t repeat for no reason and yes, there is nothing that is inherent to anyone that prevents them acting like a fascist, no matter what label you can otherwise apply to them. Hypocrisy is a thing, genocide is something every culture is guilty of. It’s not pleasant, but it is fair. We have free will, check your bigotry before it wrecks everything. I will be unsubscribing to this entire community now that I’ve said my peace, please block me if you’re too partisan to realize I am not saying Hamas are not guilty, only that Israel’s government is not free of corruption by hate anymore than Hamas if carpet-bombing hospitals is in their playbook.

So is art itself. I might not name things the same as my inspirations or create anything identical, but I haven’t written a single thing that wasn’t based on something else.

I don’t want the AI being trained on my work either, but that’s because I oppose “automated mass slavery”

“Oh, you don’t want to be a slave in return for only the most basic of food and shelter? Sure, see if there are any jobs out there anymore, now that robots can do all of it for rich arrogant god complex sufferers like me. Lets lay the new ground rules… You’re DISPOSABLE to me. Beg and worship or die.” - A designated slaveowner’s thought process, 2084.

Stop thinking like a capitalist and start thinking like you’re an angry drunk if you really believe LLM should be outlawed. Envy is not a flattering look on anyone, you included. At least protests and riots get shit done, even if that means sacrificing a lifestyle you’re clearly only enjoying thanks to being self-centered in your artistic pursuits.

Fact is, art is SO hard that I am in my 30s, broke and have no employable skills other than research, social skills (barely, blame Autism for ruining it for me) and creative ability.

I earned, like, $15 to $20 CAD from publishing a book of short stories on Amazon over 2 years. Before you ask why, I am not excluding quality as a possibility but for the most part it’s because nobody is into optimistic post-singularity sci-fi anymore and I refuse to rely on anything but word of mouth for advertisement because screw the advertocracy.

My point is, if people pirate Cody Gibling’s works, I’d rather they do so because I only want enough money to be comfortable and anything else I get would be aimed at more serious pursuits like activism. You know what I pirate? Anything that they make too hard to access in the first place. Like dead MMOs or completed movies that were cancelled to get the studio a free tax break.

There’s an interesting little game called Insignificant I’ve been keeping an eye on for a while that does a similar thing if not as graphically-rich. There’s also Smalland and Moss.
