It can be very stupid. Depends on the software though as the registry is meant for saving user and system settings to a degree. Like Windows File Explorer makes perfect sense. As does settings for audio.
It’s generally advised to not bloat the registry wherever possible. WinSCP is a great piece of software. Unfortunately it defaults to saving to the user registry. You can change it to save to an ini file instead. By using the registry to save settings it can be jarring for the user when they’re trying to troubleshoot something. Only to find out after uninstalling and reinstalling it doesn’t start over fresh. Or if they’re trying to backup settings and data to restore with later. The registry isn’t typically included for good reason.
It might be bad practice to dump 1.3GB of variable user data into the registry, though. Especially when there’s SQL servers and Nuget packages that can deal with that kind of data in a platform-agnostic way.
So a game with a harmless in-game poker minigame with worthless chips are strictly adult only, but not games with real money loot boxes specifically designed to addict you and take your money?
My recommendations are Dodonpachi Resurrection, Mushihimesama, and Deathsmiles. They’re all on sale, they’re all made by CAVE. One more CAVE game, Akai Katana, is also listed but it’s not on sale. They are all extremely difficult if you have never played the style of game before (Japanese arcade bullet hell / scrolling shooter). Heavy emphasis on learning bullet patterns and doing precise dodges. It feels so good when you manage to dodge a pattern, or time a screen cancel/hyper just right.
If you only try one, Mushihimesama is 6 dollars right now, has an awesome soundtrack and a cool fantasy forest and insect theme. It’s relatively beginner friendly but you will definitely notice a sharp difficulty spike going from stage 3-4-5. I got to play it on an actual cabinet at PAX west, definitely my highlight of that weekend.
I’m confused at how the Blood of Lathander wouldn’t be found on launch, there are so many triggers for it.
Reading the locked books, talking to the dead Tiefling, reading the plaque on the statue that’s dead center in the building. It’s hard to avoid honestly.
I really hope they patch some of the bugs then because otherwise it's gonna be unplayable. I have to use the remove glitch mod since my save got bugged after the glitch effect got stuck permanently on my character after a convo with Johnny.
I'm not a fan of games that are designed by committee, and I fear AI-generated games would take that to the 11th degree.
Given that, I feel very specific aspects could still be vastly improved by AI, like games that implement procedural generation; I feel like his mention of procedural fears more of everything becoming procedural, instead of it supplementing the pre-existing applications of it. Those kinds of games hit a plateau at a certain point in the gameplay loop - the limitations of the tiles or combinations of assets starts to become very predictable and doesn't achieve the purpose it sets out to at that point.
Also to take into account, AI needs a dataset to train it, and to avoid the homogenization he fears would involve producing datasets for specific tasks, and differentiating them from one another; to me, devs producing these unique datasets to sell is inevitable, and there's definitely going to be a lot of "shovelware"-quality datasets being thrown around. The ethics of the data contained in a lot of those kinds of ones will definitely be questionable.
