No, I want worker protections, regulatory enforcement, and broad public distrust of the exploitative owner class who are using AI to extract more wealth while destroying the environment we all live in.
Patronizing “AI” systems is collaboration with the worst garbage of the human race, the robber barons who are comfortable killing people for quarterly profits.
People like Peter Theil, Elon Musk and Sam Altman.
there is no problem in keeping code quality while using AI
This opinion is contradicted by basically everyone who has attempted to use models to generate useful code which must interface with existing codebases. There are always quality issues, it must always be reviewed for functional errors, it rarely interoperates with existing code correctly, and it might just delete your production database no matter how careful you try to be.
Depending on what you’re emulating, the 8BitDo ultracompact options might work for you:
Basically turn your phone into a Gameboy, good for 90s games where you don’t need sticks. The controller and clip together will cost you $35.
- Cool Spot - an unreasonably good (and challenging) platformer that is basically just an add for 7-up
- Chex Quest - DOOM but with Chex cereal - it’s stupid, it’s fun
- The Simpsons: Hit & Run
- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
- Star Wars: TIE Fighter
- Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
This is relatively minor. The bigger risk when running a downstream OS is that the team does not have the finances, the staff, or the broad-ecosystem visibility to support their own security research and development in any functional capacity, and there is an unavoidable delay in integrating security updates from the upstream OS.
This is a big problem. It makes running any small-team derivative OS a high-risk choice.
Twenty-two years later and still nothing really compares. I’ve played it through 5… 6?.. times and the characters still feel compelling.
I miss Westwood… everyone that came after only imitated their work, and while some have made improvements to the gameplay, none have really accomplished the same level of storytelling in the RTS genre.
Kind of a perfect game, one that keeps you coming back again and again.
SIE further alleged that Tencent came to the company with a pitch to license the Horizon IP, to which SIE declined.
This seems very relevant to the lawsuit.
What did they do, decide to develop a Horizon game in-house, then ask for permission retroactively, and then release it anyway when Sony didn’t agree?
I totally agree on the pacing. The Red Strings Club is a masterclass of storytelling in a video game format.
I think it’s hard to describe as a game to gamers… the actual gameplay is pretty vague, the various minigame activities are almost inconsequential, but taken as a whole it’s a perfect experience.
I really enjoyed both Far games. I never felt like any of the puzzles were large enough to get tedious. When I finished Lone Sails I just wished there had been a longer section of driving the ship… it kind of felt like you never got to really go before there was some interruption that you had to stop and get out for.
Oh, Steve Gibson gave an excellent description of this in Security Now two weeks ago:
Security Now #1023: Preventing Windows Sandbox Abuse
and this is the Tom’s Hardware article he’s referencing:
Unpowered SSD endurance investigation finds severe data loss and performance issues
Steve is an expert in this field, he makes SpinRite, which is probably the best tool on the market for drive health testing and repair.
I’m not sure what most people were expecting
People were expecting the game that was promised in all the lead-up marketing.
CD Projekt has been building up expectations, previewing intriguing scenes and customizations that never came to pass.
It went to promise real-time AI that would grant over a thousand NPCs a variety of roles and actions that, complete with a day/night cycle, was designed to change up their routines. But as fans began playing, they quickly discovered this wasn’t true.
Then, there are the gameplay and AI issues that hinder the experience. A game like Cyberpunk 2077 runs on crime, and CD Projekt promised realistic interactions with the police. One would fully expect officers to come running if a crime was committed out in the open with witnesses, or even in a remote alleyway. Sadly, there is nothing realistic about a bunch of cops spawning unexpectedly around the player with guns firing – especially if no one even witnessed the crime.
Basically all of the marketing turned out to be lies and the game that CDPR promised never existed.
“Masterpiece” is a real stretch
Be sure to watch part 2 where they show pedestrian & vehicle pathing.
Have you played Antichamber?
I like strategy games that allow you to design your own units such as Warzone 2100 where you select different components to get different functionality or Endless Space 2 where you pick a ship hull type and then assign different modules to adjust the combat stats or add special abilities. The production cost of the unit changes with your selections in whatever the base game currency is and/or requirements for specific resources.
This gives the player the freedom to adjust their forces to fit their play style, their economic situation or to accomplish specific objectives or strategies. It also breaks the rock/paper/scissors aspects of unit combat in more simplistic games and creates far more complex unit interactions, and the potential to win with clever design rather than just numbers of units.

OK, sure, but again the claim was:
Whether or not human-written code also requires review is outside the context of this discussion, and entirely irrelevant.
