Prediction Reminder: Game engines will become deeply integrated with AI to the point where the game engine becomes the sandbox to create your own interactive experiences. We will essentially get the The Matrix where you say "I need guns, lots of guns" and then the guns fly at you.

I've bought Unity stock because of this prediction. I wish I could invest in Unreal (you could buy Tencent I guess).

@Kerosene But the A and B buttons are probably the best feeling buttons I have ever pressed on a handheld. Every other handheld's buttons feel like cheap junk in comparison.

@Kerosene It feels good, but it's too noisy for my liking. It's also unnecessary because the system is clearly designed for 2D games.

After watching DYKGaming's recent video on the NeoGeo Pocket (Color). I'll take back what I said about it because I regarded it as a disappointment and something only for SNK fans, but I was not aware of some of the unique features like having wireless multiplayer with up to 64 other players, which I think nobody has ever done.

I've also just bought one other game for it today: Fatal Fury Contact and I enjoyed it for what it was. Though the sub battery on my system needs to be replaced. This system requires two separate types of batteries. The sub battery is just a watch battery and it is required for some game's clock functionality. I've ordered a new one and I even plan on using this system as my alarm clock because why not.

Too many IRL happenings made me forget where I was in terms of game development. I also lost even more track with the game itself because I was mostly focused on the level editor.

@FaggotTourney I vote for SMetzeler.

Also, I seem to be the only person who finds his abuse of the ROFL and angry emojis extremely annoying.

I never implemented death properly so when I die I just end up controlling particles, until they decay, then I get a new one. Just an emergent/buggy behavior from the ECS.

Which is worse about this whole situation ?

@Inginsub @RustyCrab Drew openly admitted to having misogynist views in the past (13+ years ago) and that was cancel worthy enough for some people.

@xianc78 cat-v and suckless get on lists because people have no sense of humor (maybe edgy, but clearly humor). 9front shipped with mein kampf and had garbage pail kids release names. a handful of nerds doing a walk with torches is OBVIOUSLY people not taking themselves serious.

fuck em if they can't take a joke.

I can't believe I never thought of that as an option.

As much as I enjoy seeing Drew Devault getting a taste of his own medicine, it still doesn't change the fact that the cancel culture isn't going away and the people who are doing it now are probably much worse.

This ideological purity spiraling and bringing unrelated political issues to movements needs to stop and this list of AI-free projects that Drew is blacklisted from is a good example.

Now, I respect anyone's decision to boycott any and all projects/products/services/companies that use AI. In fact, in the coming years we will probably see something like the Non-GMO Project, but for AI. However, once you bring unrelated politics into it, it immediately falls apart and it drives people away from it.

Case in pint, the open-slopware AI-free list has blacklisted Suckless, Cat-V, DHH, and Jack Dorsey. Now, Jack Dorsey seems to be pro-AI, but he is also blacklisted for working on blockchain projects. I guess it never occurred to them that it's possible to be anti-AI but pro-blockchain. Suckless is one that only exists for reasons that seem out of context. One person pointed out that they had a meetup and they hiked with tiki torches, but tiki torches have existed long before C-ville. The other reasons they listed seem to be weak.

And to top it all off the list has badges that say shit like "enbyware" and "sponsored by the gay agenda". Not very helpful for those who just want to live without "AI-slop" and don't care about your other bullshit. Though, if you put your tinfoil hat on for a moment, maybe this is part of the plan. Maybe the AI pushers want you to accept AI in everything so they are going to make these AI-free projects/companies/organizations look unappealing as possible just like how they made organic products be associated with smelly hippies.
