Maybe ChatGPT could have explained that making Super Punch Out in space with 30 second long game over animations wasn't a good idea
Dead Space and Call of Duty’s Glen Schofield says he’s been experimenting with generative AI for 2 years and believes it can help ‘fix’ the games industry.
“AI isn’t here to replace us, it’s here to make us better, faster, and more efficient,” he says. “It’s a tool”.

Is by no means the worst example of this, but I am so fucking over having a scary monster pose for the camera in a cutscene, do a little scream and have the camera shake. It was never scary, it is now annoying and trite. Fucking stop it. Stop it now

Hollowslop, of course, is a portmanteau derived from the games 'Hollow Knight' and 'Back at the Barnyard - Slop Bucket Games' on the Nintendo DS
referring to metroidvanias as "hollowslop" to simultaneously piss off people who like metroidvanias, people who like hollow knight, people who want a better genre name for "metroidvania", people who are sick of the word slop being misused, and gradius fans who want to see more checkpoint recoveries
