odd, jackbox works without issue with both Proton experimental via steam/lutris or proton-ge over the past year or so for me

went on sale on steam when I bought it for $5, played the whole thing with my daughter. Amazing game!

Right but this is about 1 dev using claude for lutris because he’s apparently going through a rough time in his life right now.

This one guy isnt to blame for the problems with the AI industry

So, it’s no longer being hidden, what’s the problem now? I just opened lutris, I don’t notice any crazy change. And the developer said this, “It was tremendously helpful in helping me catch up with everything I wasn’t able to do last year because of health issues / depression.”, so I don’t see some huge issue here.

AI is going to be everywhere, whether we like it or not. There are millions of active daily users on all various LLM platforms, are open source projects supposed to be immune from this? Of course not!

AI is already very limited to it’s context window, and tokens, so it’s not some magic pill that will make all your code perfect. I understand the AI backlash but people need to chill, it’s not some magic genie that will transform anything you throw at it, it’s still pretty limited.

lol, is P2P not good enough?

Indie games go brrrrrrr

rip bozo

It objectively better than window 11, so I’m not at all surprised people don’t want to switch. That, or they locked themselves down with some odd dependency.

Roblox could avoid so much shit if they just REMOVED THE DAMN CHAT FUNCTION!!!

Never in my childhood did I need to chat with strangers in a game. Sure, you could chat on runescape, or any decent mmorpg at the time, but the chat was moderated, and key point, they weren’t hotbeds for child predators

I’ve mentally just settled with the fact this is completely out of the average pc enthusiast’s hands.

I just remember when I built my first pc back in 2012, how a pair of 8GB DDR3 sticks of kingston fury RAM costed almost $500 dollars at the time (after tax, Canada), and that’s 5 years after DDR3 was released. Feels odd to be back there price wise, but it’s not the first time prices will soar, and it certainly won’t be the last.

My plan is just to save up for anything like I did back then.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m illogically fearful to try using the nouveau driver. I don’t have a 50 series nvidia gpu, but if I did things like this make me afraid to stick with nvidia for the future, even if progress is being made.

giving AI the power to do things on your PC will lead to cases like:

Google’s Agentic AI wipes user’s entire HDD without permission in catastrophic failure

I like how Dell has all this data, and still somehow believe that AI will help sell Windows 11, and also seem to think that Apple’s affordable products are the only alternative option for those holding out on updating to windows 11.

Oh wait, look at this headline from 3 weeks ago, “Microsoft signs $9.7 billion cloud deal with IREN as AI demand swells”.

AI-server maker Dell was also up about 1%, as it would provide IREN with Nvidia’s GB300 chips and other equipment that Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab will use for about $5.8 billion.

Oh wait, they only care about their corporate customers, what’s new? Water is wet?

I downvoted because not understanding the hate for windows 11 is really just due to ignorance at this point. I mean, not everyone is a power user, but windows has been on the steady decline for at least 10 years now. Enshittification isn’t some new concept.

hmm, I started playing it a few months back, firs time playing bloodborne, and the experience was ruined as soon as I got to the unseen village, with those huge “things” everywhere, my FPS went from a cool 50 -75 to barely scraping 20. Sucks, had to stop playing, I will test this later and report!

welp, I caved and started letting my kid play roblox, where I would check in every now and then to make sure they weren’t chatting and just playing games.

But I might just roll back on this, and let other parents know what’s up too. Some parents are completely out of the loop with anything tech related, even in this day and age.

I mean, they need us! Why the fuck are we all putting up with their shit???

Because, many people are stupid, and will put up with shit because they only care about the game, and nothing else.

But I do agree, the industry would benefit from a more informed audience, but who are we kidding, name a single industry of media where the lowest common denominator isn’t the mass majority of it’s consumers.

has anyone seen proof from the discord server in question that the 200 or so people who were fired, out of the 500+ members of the discord server were specifically talking about forming a union, or did they just fire a bunch of people incidentally?

I think Rockstar is just too big to fail, at this point. Not saying they aren’t capable of anything shady or unjust, but where’s the proof of anything, and how many people are really going to boycott a game that will likely break records in the gaming industry save for some catastrophic world event, like another pandemic or world war?

Same, I had to double check the article lol. Rust next to the word developer was a sort of short-sighted phrasing.

just like music bands, if the group doesn’t have the passion and grit to live poorly while grinding at work, the edgy, experimental stuff gets pushed aside because the market for it is just inherently smaller than say, the next Final Fantasy remake or Persona.

But with the internet and social media, the indie scene is the place to be for edgy, artistic, unique games right now as well, so in a way, the scene is migrating “underground”.
