I do still believe in free will and the human capacity for creativity, but seeing how the loudest "creative" voices are often anything but, I can sympathize with people who look at that and give up on the whole idea

FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies
https://thelibre.news/foss-infrastructure-is-under-attack-by-ai-companies/
"LLM scrapers are taking down FOSS projects' infrastructure, and it's getting worse".
For the longest time, I've been content with only making 2D games, but lately I've been getting ideas for games that could only work in 3D.
Namely, I want to make light-gun rail-shooters akin to games like Virtua Cop or House of the Dead because it's a dead genre that almost nobody seems interested in reviving. There are already light-guns for PC like the Sinden, which basically acts like a mouse so lack of available hardware isn't an issue.
I don't know when or if I would have time to make such a game. I do have a dream game that I want to make which is not this, but I also would love to revive the feeling of early 2000s gaming and this is a genre that seemed to have died with the Dreamcast (outside of arcade games and a couple of games for the Wii).

Tomorrow is April 1st... oh lord, April 1st...
...or, as my girlfriend likes to longwindedly and unflatteringly call it: "That day where unfunny retards who think they're comedic geniuses go mask-off and show everyone how far their brains swirled down the toilet while mommy squeezed them out of her cunt."
Rather ironic yet poetic that a master-class practical joker hates April Fools with a passion.

@tatsumoto @r000t you should start your own FOSS/copy-left-only software company and hire him instead of trying to fuck with man's earning potential

@r000t if your job requires running nonfree software, you probably need to talk to your boss. Or try https://www.linuxcareers.com/
@PurpCat @tinosoft @madonline Anyone who doesn't interact with him or his friends from Gab (he brought a lot of Gab refugees over to FSE back in 2019-2020).
Actually, I used to interact with him a couple of times back when he was on FSE. He blocked me, but I don't know why. Maybe it's because I called Trump controlled opposition. I haven't interacted with him at all we he moved to Poast. It's just not worth it.
@madonline @tinosoft I don't even bother interacting with that guy.

We could solve a lot of problems if we loosened up the child labor laws.
@beardalaxy I think they really wanted to focus AI because otherwise custom content would require users to have some basic scripting knowledge, which is extremely uncommon for the target demographic of this type of game. It's a brilliant idea in theory, but in practice it results in a ton of bugs and AI hallucination and as @SuperDicq said, if effectively renders the game SaaS, otherwise it would require a REALLY beefy PC to run.
Though AI facial animations are just some useless gimmick for creating social media videos.

@beardalaxy@gameliberty.club Other than it being proprietary slop. It also depends on online services to function so this game will definitely stop working a few years from now when it becomes no longer profitible to keep hosting the expensive machine learning models for this. So don't waste your money.

tl;dr inZOI is an empty prototype that focuses way more on AI technology than anything fun or meaningful, don't buy it right now. maybe when the game fully releases it'll be better but the direction seems kind of flawed from the start.
this game is extremely early access.
think of sims, except instead of a team of people very deliberately putting lots of stuff together for tons of different contexts, it's all run by a shitty AI.
the foundation is fine, and i do like some of the ideas the game is going for, but it really seems like they focused way too much on random AI features instead of making an actual game.
the graphics are also pretty on the surface, but completely fall apart in motion. no matter what settings you're playing on it's going to look bad. i really, really hate modern rendering techniques. sims 2 looks better than this shit because it's actually a stable image and it's pretty clean too.
definitely DO NOT BUY until they really get more stuff here. there's barely anything to do and there are only some extremely specific things you can interact with. going to school is a rabbithole, which is horrible when you consider that the in-game time even on the fastest setting is ridiculously slow. i've got it set to 48 minute days, the lowest one, whereas sims 4's default is 24 minutes. if it could be sped up more that would be fine, but it still goes by really slowly especially when there's like nothing to do. NPCs seemingly never talk to your character, you have to initiate every interaction and they'll often just walk away after you say one thing unless you queue things up.
it does kind of feel like this game is leaning way more into AI features than being a life sim, like why in the absolute fuck did they spend so much time developing AI that can track movements onto a character? there's no point whatsoever.
played for not even 5 hours and yeah, it just made me want to play sims instead. there's really a whole lot of nothing here and that's a pretty good way to describe it. there's a lot of shit, it's just that none of it is actually meaningful or valuable at all.
paralives can't come soon enough.
