To anyone liking these kind of fantasy consoles I always recommend TIC-80 as it is a open source alternative. Feature full. And overall more powerful.

When this game is released the setting is going to be ancient history.

Can you stop insulting people you don’t agree with? Thanks. I’ll do myself a favor and just block you.

All the personal attacks were completely out of place. So that person is out of the debate for me.

You were polite so I will answer to you.

First. Pay per access is no-go. Art is publicly release, pay or not pay access for things that are costless to copy is unrestricted. This already happens, piracy exist and cannot made go away. It’s just its legalization.

Second. Once pay per access is abolished. It’s more important to focus in pay for work or pay for release. Focusing more on making the artist a person who is being patronize for doing their art rather than a salesperson.

Once we have this idea of patronizing, instead of private labels we could focus more on cooperative labels, taking out investors and useless middlemen. People could paid for some artist or some label (which will be exclusively conformed by artist) in order for them to keep making their thing. Some labels could be actually public labels, this already exist to some degree when some state pays for art to be made, just expanding it.

Now that we changed the model in a model were people give their money before they get to see the final product we should put some protections in place to avoid scams and then we are golden.

It’s not so complicated really. Many systems already exist. The history is the same as with everything else capitalism and rich capitalists are in a dominant position so they make any change for the better harder.

I think you are arguing against an imaginary group of people here.

So is a world without murder. That doesn’t mean that we should defend murderers doesn’t it?

A world where gay people had equal rights surely was an utopia on the year 1800s, look how far have we come. Thanks to people that though that a better word is, indeed, possible.

Why wouldn’t we strive for a better way of doing things? Why defend faulty systems that we know they are bad just because those are the systems currently in place?

I do believe we can be better.

And if not… Piracy it is.

Because you will be paid for it?

In the current world I could torrent your music and you’ll be “losing money” and will end up investing more work in anti-piracy and advertisement than in making good music.

If instead you would be paid for the making of the music regardless of how many copies of a digital file you sold by a better system that’s not based on private property and the means of capitalism, it would mean that you could 100% focus on making music and everyone could enjoy the things you made. You couldn’t care less if I torrent your music in this new world. Hell, music would probably be mainly distributed by torrenting.

Everyone will be happy, except investors and people thriving of this inefficient and unfair system.

Meanwhile, I’ll be seeding.

I do believe that.

Intellectual property leads to all kind of unfairness. It should be normalized that artist would be paid for the work done, nor for property ownership.

This adds to some other believes about people shouldn’t be paid just for “property ownership”.

And once the art is done and released is part of human race, that does include terrible human beings, but it also includes absolutely everyone else.

Some other argument for this… For instance, being an artist is one of the jobs with biggest pay disparity, from the poorest of them all to some of the richest. That’s a normal output of basing income on property ownership, things snowball once you have enough property.

I don’t think there’s a way to make private property (physical or intelectual) work in a fair economy. And remember, private property is not the same as personal property, just in case.

I do think the world of art would get much better and more diverse if we got rid of property as a way to measure revenue and put work in the center as a way to measure how much we should pay each artist.

The post fight was also amazing. Such a well made character all around.

A sad reality of political activism is the inability of many groups to follow proper opsec.

Take away chatgpt and insert a videogame, movie o bookthat talk about those same topics.

There are books that talk much darker about suicide. If the kid were to read those the parents would sue the author of the book?

There is a whole subgenre of music that is about encouraging people to comit suicide and fall into depression, do we use the “who is going to think about the children” card with thar music and its authors? Because music can really get under you skin and a couple of hours listening to that would nake anyone have weird thoughts.

The shitty parents blame chatgpt because it told the kid how to make a noose. You can kind that info in “howto” with instructable images. Do we put the UK nanny dictatorship controls on “howto” ? Or it only counts of it’s something that benefits of the butlerian yihad?

I think is completely irrational to blame a piece of software (or media), as much defective as it is, for a suicide.

Why the article only speaks about the game graphics?

I mean 80 dollars is a shame, and not even for 1 dollar I would ever pay any money to Konami after what they did with Kojima. But the article doesn’t say me nothing about the game itself.

I don’t have any evidence. But everything I read about this story I get the vibe that parents are dodging their responsibility. Some of the logs clearly show that the kid have issues with the family.

And the fact that they are willing to blame some software instead of themselves speaks quite loudly.

Suicide in kids usually have two real roots, school or family. Because that’s the two places the kid will spend more time with. And probably only run to “other places” if one or both those fundamental places are awful.

It’s “videogames are to blame for violence” all over again.

I know too well how parents behave when they don’t want to assume their own fucking responsibility for how they raise their kids, and this smells too much like that very same shit.

One of the best redemption arcs in recent video game story.

I remember a quote from a famous porn actor “nacho vidal”.

“I’d rather have my kids playing with “fake plastic penises” around the house than playing with fake plastic firearms.”

I’m not comfortable with the idea of kids playing with sexual toys. But it makes me feel something weird that I’m not more weirded out by kids playing to kill with fake guns.

Hard R and all. You’re getting so cancelled on 2055 when non-organic people get the right to vote.

I really disliked bioshock 3. So I have little hope.

The story was over the top but without saying anything interesting or iconic.

Gunplay is a weird mix between call of duty and bioshock and it doesn’t work.

Upgrade system along with only two weapons felt weird. Topics are less useful and less common than in previous games.

“Choices” in story are not choices, completely useless.

Companion AI is bland, they promised a revolution with Elisabeth but it’s just a fly tied on a cord, there’s zero AI in it. It can’t die so there’s nothing to interact. It just moves around you, pretend to seek supplies and to hide from bullets but it’s all fake, it cannot be hurt and she just tosses you supplies on scripted events.

The bird is hyped and have zero impact in the gameplay.

And I could go on…

Bioshock 1 is a thousand times better game in every single aspect.

IP being scarce is a business. It makes so IPS could charge outraging amounts of money for a stable exclusive IP. I do think many people don’t want to let the golden cow die. Specially if there’s a migration cost.

Time to put some pressure on the pressure group.

Yes. But world exploration tend to happen on horizontal.

Also additional height is often used as a way to store alternative dimensions (like nether or end). As there’s is not another built in way to do so.

Anyway it would me nice to have the horizontal extension. But at this point is not a planned feature and it would break a lot of things, so it’s not something that Luanti would likely ever have.

Of course. I’ve explored bigger extensions of terrain in Minecraft.

Other example, a server like 2b2t would be impossible in Luanti. Or any big multiplayer server.

Petition?

No, no, they should be legally enforced to do so.

Because it reads more like advertisement of a paid product than news.

You can be rewarded with the honor of paying a monthly subscription.

You can try both, see what you like.

I still like Minecraft Java more than Luanti.

My main grip with Luanti is world size. You can totally get to the world end in a few hours. I like the infinity of Minecraft.

At this point I would only try something untraceable like Monero. I don’t want the moral police to come knocking to my house saying that I bought something against the glory of the Lord.

I’m pirating any game made by any producer that oppose SKG.

If they want to antagonize consumers. Consumers will be their enemies.

People with a lot of money doesn’t really want just money. They want power to impose their views over the rest. Money is just a mean to do so.

Buying drugs and gooner games. That’s the satoshi dream.

People have opinions. No everyone disagreeing with one opinion or other is a paid actor.

I’m all for SKG. I signed it. And I haven’t actually seen much criticism at all here. But if someone were to disagree I won’t automatically think it’s a paid actor, probably just a person with an opinion.

I want my fake reviews to come from a bot farm in some poor country, as god intended.

Probably a similar step from practical effects to computer rendered effects. Gain some, loose some, and best results will probably be gotten with a mixed technique made by professionals who know what they are doing.

In Spain you can use bizum, which is a system made by Spanish banks. I’ve been reading that it’s supposed to be interoperative with other european systems but I’ve never used that way personally.

The ECB have been working in the digital euro for ages, which is supposed to allow payments directly processed by the ECB. But it is taking ages…

Complete different exper from myself.

I bought it and had to return it. The shape was too uncomfortable and the triggers had massive dead zones.

End up buying gamesir instead.

Kerbal Space Program 2 still hurts me.

I don’t know who are these people. And they have achieved in record time that I never want to really heard them anymore.

I’m glad. But don’t get your hopes up because of this. Commission could (and probably will) just say “we have considered it and we are going to do nothing”.

In my experience LLM get vastly better results that traditional translation software.

Also google translate is not traditionally suited for long coherent text. One particular issue is tone, proper translation takes into account not only the worlds but the tone and the subject is being treated. Google translate cannot take that into account, with an llm the user can tweak the tone to match the tone of the original text with better accuracy.

And, anyway google translate if it’s not already using llm for translation will soon. Results are just better. It’s one of the tasks that language models are actually good for.

Anyhow, what’s the issue if an automatic translation is done using one software or other? Just use whatever gives best results and it’s more convenient for the developer.

For mods the better approach would probably be that each game community host their own mod portal. No single point of failure.

Last year. It still had a lot of lag moving around in my machine.
