did you know that there’s a button on each comment which is purpose built for you to express this exact sentiment? i’ve provided a helpful diagram:

Engaging with other people on this small platform makes it feel less empty. There aren’t many people here, so I go out of my way to talk to people instead of just interacting with the number beside their comment or post.

You know if you don’t think a comment adds to the discussion there’s a purpose built button for you to express that exact sentiment? It’s right below the one you pointed out in your very helpful diagram.

It’s okay, the internet drought is over, we don’t have to ration posts anymore.

Ok this got a chuckle out of me. But yeah, I don’t see any problem with people expressing agreement verbally.

Imagine a real conversation where you’re only allowed to agree with someone with nods, never saying “yeah I agree completely” or any other verbal feedback.

Up and down votes are not a “agree / disagree” button. They are for dis/encouraging posts. You can upvote a post you disagree with but can see that it is useful for the discussion.

Man, I’m getting tired of everyone and their cat saying shit like “AI will…”.

With how loosely defined “AI” is, it probably will at some point. But that statement is also completely worthless.

This has been bothering me too. Its such a nothing statement with no suggestion of how this would be accomplished behind it. Like sure, technology is likely to continue advancing, but it may not even resemble these current implementations by the time we get there.

It’s impressive how many Ls one man can take while still getting media coverage

The man’s a consummate bullshit artist, but I can’t deny he used to be one of the best. Populous, Theme Park, Dungeon Keeper, Fable…

The last 10-15 years have been a bit of a write-off, but before that, even when he was shitting out games, they were still better than most people could even dream of making.

Man I thought he got better after he admitted that NFTs were a mistake, he can’t help himself.

What a shame, I was ready to forgive the dude and play Masters of Albion, I loved black & white and there aren’t any clones of it.

He always apologizes before pushing his next scam.

There’s a source port of Black and White that is in early development. Just had it’s first alpha release.

So there might be a modern way to play it in a year or two. Hopefully modding too!

I know the streamer Okoii has been doing streams of B&W2 recently and he had some instructions in the first one about how to get it running.

Not sure if that helps. Not sure if you wanted to play the game or play something like it.

When an AI is able to take and write every single line of code, generate all the art, and debug it just by having someone as code dumb as a CEO type in a prompt, I’ll believe his words and eat my shirt.

The thing is even if AI could do all that (which is doubtful in my life time), you would still need someone to prompt it with something interesting. And CEO types have never had an interesting idea in their lives

Fair enough. Though knowing them they’d just find something extremely popular like pokemon or the latest CoD and have the AI make games like those.
