One of my big fears re: AI in games:

Gacha/lootbox/P2W games implementing AI "personalities" in characters that learn from the player and use that knowledge to manipulate them into spending more on the game.

I absolutely believe that level of predatory behavior is coming.

for young men, dissatisfaction, hopelessness in other areas, unmet yearning for satisfying risk/reward, stunted development of natural play etc.

The current exploitation of the risk-taking interest of young men by:

- Crypto
- Sports betting
- Day-trading 'gurus'

Needs a deep exploration. Attracting with no physical risk but instead heavy financial risk - with impossible promises. No wonder they are all skyrocketing at a time of high unrest

But there's so much more to do... I don't want to give up.

For the frames, I use a combo of opaque and transparent images to give the illusion that one vid is in a browser window behind the other.

add a VLC source to your starting & break scenes, and put those folders into the playlist. Tell the playlist to loop and shuffle, stopping when you leave that scene, and restarting when you go back to it.

You can easily put new clips into your list and swap out old ones,
