It’s at this point that Apple should throw in the towel and walk away from Apple Incompetence already…It’s clear that it won’t do what they want, as “AI” can’t think or reason. This is just going to amount to a lot of misused person power and money, effort they could push into making their OS, software, and hardware better.

ROFL What a bold faced liar, they want to please those billionaires so desperately! Tragic, but unsurprising.

I’d be more excited about Death Stranding 2, if it weren’t exclusive to PS5. What we really need is more weird games that can be played on as many platforms as possible for that game.

It is honestly better to learn, draw a little everyday…Fundamentals have a way of sticking with a person once you master them. Generating the same slop as everyone else is such a stupid thing to do, art is all about personal expression. A GenAI model is just creating empty pieces, images that have no life in them, just the gibberish whispers stolen from artists by bot crawlers and guile.

All it takes is cheap printer paper and a basic pencil and effort. Personally, I find writing to be a better form for me…However, by trying, you learn your own strengths. With GenAI, a person can learn nothing.

ROFL I’m so glad that there aren’t any pushy cashiers at my Best Buy (shop online and pick-up in store, typically) It would be a pain in my ass, especially ones which harbor stupid thoughts or misconceptions like those described in this post.

This is the worst timeline, I’m not surprised that they lied and tried to hide the truth. As they knew, it would raise alarm bells…Their little mole going to attempt to sabotage one of the few safety nets the USA has. Just because those rich bastards and corporations want more money.

Yeah, that’s the reality…Big Business People making choices that will make the line go up. To be fair, it is a savvy move to make software readily available if the hardware isn’t moving; especially in the case of Microsoft’s first party games. Sony, being the consumer hostile and shoddy PSN holder, wouldn’t be my first pick for victor in the console space. Strange things happen when you got a few good exclusives, and pricey consoles, I guess.

It’s good that Microsoft is contemplating how to move forward, but, I disdain the news of more layoffs. They really should keep their core staff and cut pay for CEOs and C-Suites of Xbox instead. Since they are the ones who actually failed Microsoft. The neXtbox (essentially a prebuilt PC) and handheld might be a way for them to reach audiences again. Even though Valve is killing it in the Handheld Market with SteamOS and their Steam Deck; Microsoft better not recoil in fear due to this, as staying the course and making better choices will help.

Wow, if they want to turn Xbox around, they are going to need people. Cut Phil’s pay instead! He likely already gets far more compensation than he needs.

Indie Stone did have a rough start, but, I do feel they are doing quite well. Despite the many setbacks, they’ve created a great game. I don’t play a lot of it, due to the desire to play a 1.0…However, I appreciate the small slices that I allow myself.

Yeah, I agree, this is purely due to poor project management decisions. They’re scope seemed to grow into an unmanageable thing, this is likely a first time project… So this team didn’t have the knowledge to make a solid plan of action.

As for Project Zomboid, as a person who paid for an early access version when it first landed…That game wouldn’t be where its at without early and steady funding.

Yeah, its a shame that the Hytale team didn’t think to do this, instead they wasted hype by doing an engine switch mid production.

I’m not surprised, the opportunity that Hytale devs were given had been squandered thoughtlessly. I believe the game’s fate would’ve been different with a playable EA version. One that generated sales while building hype with major patches. With a game that has good bones, this style of development works rather well.
