Ah got it. Context threw me off I see what you mean now

I’m not interpreting anything. You’re being antagonistic and accusatory.

Read the other comment chains. You’ll see all the answers you need, as well as how to have a conversation like an adult.

I think they still fear being perceived as ridiculous, but they’ve been very successful at making the bar really fucking high.

You can read the myriad of responses/chains this lead to rather than restarting the conversation as if all of this hasn’t been covered. Have a good rest of your weekend

Crow Raven tech rules

dude I can’t believe it’s taking you this long to use search lmao. Part of their marketing was bragging about how they did not use AI.

Hate the game all you want, I know I bounced off it after like three hours so that is totally valid. But you need to stop just making shit up/shooting from the hip.

AI tools for game development didn’t even exist in any meaningful form when production was going for this game. By the time those tools were even coming out it was entering the final steps before release. Are you capable of using a calendar?

I get it it’s fun cosplaying as an asshole on the Internet, but it means you’re just an asshole. Grow up.

No your fault is mostly the condescension/absurd AI comments.

Your entire argument is “bad writing” and/or “bad VA.”

Your Taylor swift comparison makes no sense.

And usually by “algorithm” people mean a feed that is curated to you specifically based off all the data they’ve vacuumed up. Hot/controversial have a clear set of rules about upvote/downvotes over time and they apply exactly the same to everyone, so everyone sorting by hot for instance on a thread or community is seeing the exact same thing

Yeah someone else told me about that, looks like it was only rolled out a few weeks ago so in my defense it’s pretty new information lol Looks legit though! Absolutely has me reconsidering that concern now.

A lot of personality shining through here

The scrolling is only made to generate rage if you browse all (your issue) or curate a feed with rage bait 🤷‍♂️ you can fix it in seconds if you want.

Lemmy is not controlled by some sort of curated algorithm. You have full control over the sorting and what goes on your screen in a way that mainstream social media services do not allow.

If you think there’s something addictive or otherwise wrong about your feed, fix it. “The power is yours!”

I don’t understand why people have such a myopic view of games these days. They’re either God’s gift to gamers or absolute dog shit that people should be executed for.

Avowed received decent, not terrible or great reviews. But for you it’s basically Too Human it sounds like. You’re just too blinded by the need to slot games as a 10 or a 1 and can’t be bothered to consider nuance.

Anyway you have failed to give any evidence for why this is “AI slop.“ You just think it’s a bad game. That’s not the same thing. You’re entitled to your opinion but to think it was generated by AI is, frankly, way too generous towards AI. You clearly think it’s way more capable than it is. Because if you think that Avowed is so bad that it falls to that level, then you just don’t have any perspective.

christ dude are you gonna actually be specific at any point in this? That’s your case? “I liked talking to one NPC rest is AI”?

Fine then, your opinion is noted and clearly representative of a very, very small minority. Have a good rest of your day. Case closed lmao

how does it feel like a game created by AI? What were some of your experiences?

No worries! Sorry you went to all that effort just to see my edit after lol

What makes it slop?

The game was finished, which is unfortunately not the norm. It is not AI or even procgen content. It has a focused (if meh) story, graphics and mechanics are solid, it isn’t some sprawling mass open world with a billion fetch quests.

It’s hardly an inspiring game but it certainly is a complete, focused piece that many people have enjoyed. It’s the happy B student in the class.

So again: what makes it slop?

I did not know about privacy pass - that’s a fantastic step. I need to better understand the protocol they’re using but if they truly cannot link my usage to my account and the account strictly exists for (functionally anonymous) payment then I honestly have no notes. That could be enough to assuage most of my concerns.

So you won’t pay for a subscription to use a search engine.

When did I say that? Point out one single line that even remotely implies this. Flagrant strawman. What else would you call it?

Do you prefer the model that other search engines use where they take the content of your searches and use it to advertise to you?

It’s a leading question and you know it. You should’ve asked “how do you think search engines should operate?” You’re implying I am content with how Google operates, which I am not.

I’ll even concede the second may have actually been unintentionally accusatory in its implication, but you literally started the comment saying I won’t pay for this service. It’s right there in front of you, you wrote it.

Maybe read your own comment again before being condescending?
