They can, but they also don’t meet the corporate dictate of “Everyone use AI.” 😉

Not at all wrong, just showing what can be done with virtually zero effort and time.

I could most likely perfect it in a few minutes more, still a fraction of the time of doing it by hand. I’m not extending a proof of concept to win arguments on the Internet. 😉

But as I noted at the bottom of the comment, which apparently nobody bothered to read, there are ALREADY royalty free libraries for this kind of thing. So it also has to be faster than searching libraries that are already there.

Of course that action is it’s own time sink as anyone who has gone looking for “the perfect font” can tell you.

It did get maybe 90% there in a minute which is faster than a person would do it. Not a perfect tile, maybe take a few more interations. But not awful for cobbled together in a minute, and if your job is to come up with 50 or 100 different textures, still better than doing it by hand.

But as I noted, there are also already royalty free libraries for this stuff as well.

Well of course not, AI did it in 1 minute. 🤣

I could see using AI for tasks that are so mind numbing and mundane it might actually be cruel to make a human do it.

“I need a perfectly tileable concrete wall texture for a video game, make it light gray with random spots of yellow and white paint.”

Took about a minute.

But then, if you’re going to do THAT, there are already royalty free libraries where it’s already done.

I tend to agree with this. I had given up on PC gaming by 2004 so did not play HL2 until the Orange Box on Xbox in 2007 and my reaction was “Jesus this is boring!”

I’ve tried to replay it a couple of times since then, most recently on Steam Deck, but it just doesn’t click with me and I give up around the Canals.

After the litany of fuck ups Bungie did, nobody should want to be the next Destiny.

Happened with me in FFVII back in the day… Doing well, had to take a 2 week business trip, got back… “Wait, did I just GET to this town or was I LEAVING this town?” No clue what I was doing, I may have just started over…

Even in the days of memory cards you could back up saves to other memory cards…

jordanlund, 23 dni temu do games w Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period

Yeah, but you don’t give pirated goods as gifts. 😉

I still have the OG Advance Wars carts for my GBA.

I picked up Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot for my kid for Christmas. $60 still after coming out in 2023.

(* “My kid” - He’s 29, he should be buying his own games! LOL.)

jordanlund, 23 dni temu do games w Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period

The Switch 2 is the first console I’ve just outright skipped in… well… years now. I guess since the Wii U?

Just every piece of news about it as it was coming out made it sound less and less appealing…

$70 games (that never get discounted because Nintendo.)

Games aren’t “games”, they’re download keys.

Special SD cards that are more expensive.

Microphone support requires a subscription after 1 year.

Charging $10 for a hardware demo that should be included, like Desk Job on the Steam Deck.

And, like you say, the remote detonation option, which is burning legitimate players:

Generally with new hardware it’s “Hey, what’s not to like?”

With the Switch 2 it’s more “What is there to like?”

The mere presence of griefers eliminates this from PVE:

Until they come up with servers where PvP is prohibited, PvE isn’t worth discussing.

With current pricing, it’s going to be tough and that’s no joke.

Even the new Steam Machine is being predicted to be around $1,000.

indy100.com/…/steam-machine-price-cost-release-da…

The era of $600 gaming PCs is 1-3 years ago now.

(NGL - I still want a Steam Machine. :)

I’ve consistently refused to buy in to Game Pass. I still buy physical games where available. If it’s only digital, I’ll get the Steam version for my Steam Deck.
