im in plenty ones with wonderful people in them but there is just something about the format itself. theres too much stuff and it feels overwhelming

always nice when the fog color is darker than the sky color

rendering multiple chunks and some fog to hide where the chunks end :) next stop: streaming them in dynamically

er, i meant signal to noise

it feels like the overall noise to signal ratio is higher in games than in those other media, but also an industry catering to man children for decades probably doesn't help build a healthy relationship with any kind of glut of content.

the problem is that there is always something to play. we are in the most extreme oversupply scenario maybe ever and the amount of entitlement that brings to the oversupplied is wild.

much better

gonna need some normals

added some basic texture blend painting in addition to raising and lowering

first thing it's gonna need is a terrain editor

the mutation system in caves of qud always felt so much more compelling than the truekin stuff just because it opened up so many bonkers possibilities and it would be so cool to have a modular mech system thats not limited by traditional notions of hardware

i'm in an avi identity crisis

yeah for sure, but then by extension, the muddying of the conversation is also by design so a nuanced response would be the right parry :)

i just feel like the ambiguity of AI as a term muddies the water so much that it ends up with everyone just projecting their ideology onto it (from both sides) to the point where it's just a political proxy battle, which is fine, just difficult to have nuanced conversations about anything ML-related

for sure, just always sad to see so much energy spent on reactionary takes, but i guess this is social media after all
