AI as a tool? Hell yeah.
AI to replace people? Fuck no.

Apple won’t allow extensions for web browsers on their app store.

With physical copies of games essentially being non-existent, there is absolutely no point in pre-ordering a game. Hold on to your money, and wait for reviews.

I’ve purchased many games at $40 or less over the past year that have given me hundred of hours of joy and entertainment.

If I spend almost twice that price on a game, and it’s unfinished, buggy, and heavily monetized; you can bet your ass I’m going to be upset.

It’s not about the cost of development. It’s about quality of the experience. For indie devs, the game has to be good to do well. For a lot of AAA studios, the game is merely a product that only has to be as entertaining as it needs to be for them to make enough profit.

I’ve played with randoms many times. Most people have been good to play with. I highly recommend it.

Considering I’ve been playing HD2 all year and I’m still loving it, my vote is for HD2. They did a fantastic job on the recent balance overhaul (dubbed “the great Buffening”).

It does update achievements. It’s really just play time that seems to have issues

I can’t help but question the accuracy of this list, since the Steam Deck doesn’t seem to log hours for games played in offline mode correctly. I easily have hundreds of hours unaccounted for. It will also add played time for hours spent in standby with a game running, but then wipe all of the hours played and in standby once I connect to the internet.

Just to jump onto this comment: Factorio just released a major expansion this week.

In a similar vibe, Satisfactory just left early access a few weeks ago.

Donk is a 2nd or 3rd date kind of genre.
