I like my porn to be less faschy and more flashy.

Yup, I’ve been seeing more and more people straight use AI results to support their arguments.

Donations I believe.

No I assume they’re all AAA - sp and live service.

And I don’t have any delusions about them not doing this for sp as well. Hence the comment about how shitty the industry is in general.

I just think games that call themselves live service aren’t games. (Not multiplayer games that also happen to be live service)

I don’t know of the statistics, so yes, I can’t say for sure sp employs more people than live service. But in my opinion live service games are more risky and harmful to the industry as a hole.

But my original comment was about how it doesn’t matter if they created jobs or not because they are trying to replace everyone with AI. Coders, designers, artists… So it doesn’t matter sp or live service. They want to not employ anyone and run casinos

Ahh sorry, I didn’t see the comment earlier.

Yes, imo live service games are very bad for the people who buy them and the people making it.

They are only there to make cash. And they make this cash through terrible predatory monetization - loot boxes, microtransactions, season passes. These companies actually want to run casinos that target the most vulnerable and children. You can argue that people wouldn’t want to work on this if they had a choice.

There’s almost always very little artistic value.

At least with sp AAA, you can gain a cult following if you have an interesting gameplay, or story. what are you doing with a live service one? Nothing, just offering the same thing that someone else has already created in another flavour, just to chase a trend. What this means is that they’re more likely to fail and not for the fault of the devs for sure.

They’re also bad for preservation of games. All live service games die, you can’t play them once support ends. You paid 60 dollars to rent a game? (Though I suppose that’s true with sp always online games as well and it’s not directly a bad thing for the dev)

Though… you maybe sort of right, the Industry is so bad right now that it doesn’t even matter whether you are working on sp or live service, you are in some sort of hell regardless…

Learning how to learn is so important. I only learned that as an adult.

I do go to the real source first. But sometimes, I just need a very simple explanation before I can dive deep into the topic.

My brain sucks, I give up very easily if I don’t understand something. (This has been true since way before short form content and internet)

If I had to say how much I use it to learn, I’d say it’s about 30% of the total learning. It can’t teach you course work from scratch like a real person can (even through videos), but it can help clear doubts.

I agree, I’ve been traumatized by the system. Whatever I’ve learnt that’s been useful to me has happened through the internet, give or take a few good teachers.

I still think it’s a good auxiliary tool. If you understand its constraints, it’s useful.

It’s just really unfortunate that it’s a for profit tool that will be used to try and replace us all.

I understand that. I am careful to not use it as my main teaching source, rather a supplement. It helps when I want to dive into the root cause of something, which I then double check with real sources.

I have difficulty learning, but using AI has helped me quite a lot. It’s like a teacher who will never get angry, doesn’t matter how dumb your question is or how many time you ask it.

Mind you, I am not in school and I understand hallucinations, but having someone who is this understanding in a discourse helps immensely.

It’s a wonderful tool for learning, especially for those who can’t follow the normal pacing. :)

tons of jobs

speaks as they try to replace everyone with AI except for the management suite.

Are spectra.video and lethallava.land special? Idk about them.

Also didn’t mean to diss you, just that, I as a new person to lemmy would have avoided them. There’s a mix of rational and irrational fear for weird looking links in me.

The domain names don’t seem very inviting.

Hey only @ml and @hexbear are tankie right? World and ee aren’t tankie are they?

Shit is subjective. As long as you love your own shit or the process of it, you are good.

The funny thing is, I’ve heard about quite a few Indie studios that are just as bad. They do the very same thing we condemn AAA for - crunch, micromanaging, and even harrasment.

I was very surprised to hear that the person who lead the development on monument valley was a massive dick to his employees.(Repeatedly would use management tricks and neg people to the point of depression and feeling worthless).

So, I can totally understand the cultural success thing. Though I’d like to believe that we are better than the corporate management suite, I have to remind myself that anyone can be a dick. You can be a progressive left leaning animal lover and still be a horrible parent.

I have worked only in the indie/AA sphere, and my experience here hasn’t been all that great either. But, I had always believed the problem was in the work culture of my country itself, and that I would probably find it better to work with those outside my country. No, people are the same everywhere, just of different flavours.

Though I’d still prefer to work with like minded people vs those place capital over everything else.

Oh right.

That actually sounds like a great idea. However, I feel like that won’t be enough to stop countries from wanting to ban fediverse platforms outright(if they decide to do so). I even read a news article talking about the how the current US administration doesn’t like Wikipedia because they are spreading “propoganda”. Or like how thy are trying to force change in independent universities by cutting their funding.

Photopea! Browser based and almost as good.

Though I am not a professional.
