There are so many reasons these days where I’m feeling like this focus on generative AI might be one of the worst mistakes in recent human history. Whatever perceived value it could provide isn’t worth the damage it’s doing in so many areas.

Hyperscalers are tearing hard drives out of the hands of manufacturers. Prices are therefore also rising for SSDs.

I feel this with every bone of my body
I call this the Knight Boat Principle and it is an unironic, genuine game design principle that I have, which can be briefly stated as: "if your core gameplay has a specific premise, your worldbuilding should be structured around enabling it, rather than the other way around." #LancerRPG
![There’s a principle I talk a lot about in relation to Lancer game design which I call the Knight Boat Principle. In Season 6, Episode 13 of The Simpsons, “And Maggie Makes Three,” this exchange occurs:
TV Announcer: We now return to Knight Boat, the Crime Solving Boat!
[a boat chases several men on jet skis]
Michael: Faster, Knight-Boat, we’ve gotta catch those starfish poachers! Oh no, they’re headed for land!
[the starfish poachers switch from jet skis to motorcycles and speed away]
Michael: We’ll never catch ‘em now!
Knight Boat: Incorrect. Look, a canal!
[cut to the Simpsons’ living room]
Bart: Aw, every week there’s a canal!
Lisa: Or an inlet!
Bart: Or a fjord.
Homer: Quiet! I will not hear another word against the boat.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mkhlwb55jwivwlltldetyang/bafkreidcgkvmfigyguc27zyk3pv4h6bsbvjzwklcogh3tiae6wgw3oczt4@jpeg)

we don't talk enough about how this paranoid freak released virtual insanity in 1996. years before the average person in the uk had even sent a text message, he was dancing like a maniac in his big moving gaff, enraged to the point of song by faxes, teletext and encarta 95.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

"But the engine is so limited" someone managed to make a Picross game in rpgmaker without writing a single line of code (rpgmaker.net/games/11/). You think it's limited because you never tried using it seriously

Idk what's going on with the PR strategy for this game but I have talked to multiple games press people who have never heard of it and it's QUITE GOOD!! Way more of a crowd pleaser than something like Cronos and yet is getting 1/100th the promotion.
And it's less than $20?????
