In this case:

• this comic artstyle is very characteristic of AI, down to the line weight, facial expression (these soulless eyes and smile), and how the character is positioned;
• the bus has no door;
• the picture has a yellow-ish tint, which has been plaguing certain AI image generators ever since the AI Ghibli trend. They likely overtrained their slop machines on Studio Ghibli works and various other “cozy” artstyles/pictures.

I’ve played this briefly when it launched, but was annoyed that for people playing solo the map outside your bases fully resets every time you save and load, I’d prefer if the areas I cleared of the fog would stay cleared. I get that in a multiplayer setting it’s better to reset because then everyone has the same opportunities to get loot/xp, but my map-clearing goblin brain was disappointed.

Unless they’ve changed it, but last I’ve heard there were no plans for that.

Other than that it was a lot of fun already at EA launch, probably got even better by now.

Honestly, thank fuck for the AI studio Ghibli trend, they overtrained the models on that stuff and caused the easily recognizable piss filter to appear. Makes finding AI slop at a glance easier.

Not necessarily? Icy water would have been rare, but even in the summer water from a stream or a lake is colder than the air, which is enough to make it refreshing. And well water can be very cold.
