Re: "The Fine Arts Were Always A Massive Grift" - Controversial Earthworm Jim Creator Goes All-In On Generative AI

He's not exactly wrong. The problem he fails to point out is that AI is making it easier for anybody to think they can be an artist so we get slop.

@jesse_dylan Different opinions are nice! 😉

@Razieluigi "I love that these right-wingers will spend their days freaking out about immigrants taking their jobs"

Would you rather hear from left wingers? 🤦‍♂️

@ckoerner What kind of a guy is he? Generalising much?

Re: "It Feels Very Natural To Grow In That Direction" - The Newly Independent GOG On Potentially Following Nightdive's Example

"that Nightdive is doing "the perfect example" of what the company would like to embark on. That is, acquiring IPs, bringing them to an in-house engine, making them work, and then potentially doing a spiritual successor or maybe even a new installment."

Their current remasters of Capcom games has been making a wrapper to allow modern compatibility while providing a few graphics options. I think they have a long way to go before they reach the standard of what Nightdive offers.

Re: Game Changer: Shining In The Darkness - My Bumpy But Brilliant Introduction To JRPGs

I played in depth Shining in the Darkness last year for the first time and wrote a review. The two things that ruin the experience is the lack of map (which is REALLY necessary in this game) and the beginning grinding where you need to spend hours to raise your stats high enough to have a chance in the Level 2 floor. If these things weren't a problem the game would be good fun. It's not a terrible game but it's unnecessarily difficult as a result.
