Non-important NPC dialogue is a great place to hide some additional story bits, world lore, or just fun character stuff in general. And it's honestly one of the most fun aspects of game development.
I'm not really sure why would you like to skip all that...
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.

Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

Most of them got remastered already (yay!) but what I miss is MediEvil 2 (with health fountains not permanently drying out!!) since the 1st MediEvil got one already...

That's a rather obscure case though, so let's say the inevitable Pokemon BW!
I would like to know! 🤓👾

So, who is more silly?

The budgie regurgitating to his precious stick-friend?
Or the human who believes the imaginary AI-friend is conscious and real?

As a budgie owner, I know they can become easily obsessed with inanimate objects or/and their reflections; males especially so. Lonely budgies will seek social interactions, and in their mind, the object becomes their friend and partner.

We think it's silly. But we aren't that different:

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

The way Black Friday evolved is kind of ridiculous:

Black Week
Black Days
Black Poniedziałek, Black Wtorek, (...)
Early Access Black Friday

Move away Wszystkich Świętych and Halloween! Soon we will have Black Month, Black November, Black Listopad instead lol

I don’t know what the answer is either. We’ve built a world that seems unsustainable from almost every angle.

I try to keep some historical perspective since every generation complains about change, but genAI does seem like a bad shift. What happens when most people simply don’t know anything?
My students don’t even bother to remove “ChatGPT said…” from their assignments half the time…

We are doomed.

Watched Predator: Badlands!
Banal yet enjojable story about kinship bonds, mashed up with "journey the movie", while also engagingly reversing the tropes of the OG set up, with a pinch of anti-corporate message.

I never would have thought I would have so much fun watching a Predator movie!

Haha, thank you!
Zniw ain't too shy about celebrating...!
...Hey, wait a second...

Happy Birthday @twarda.bsky.social

Once upon a time I was a nearly prolific illustrator of ancient life forms. Here's a sampling of this 🐡🎨 paleoart from the early 20's.

The audacity of them choosing calm & warm colors, soft music, family bonds, and happy times - to present the most twisted, dystopian, and pure Evil tech idea - is unmeasurable!!

Zombifying your loved ones is not good. Not good at all.
For real, check this out. Evil.
