Looks terrifying, but I'm sure it's going to be huge. 

wow, that's like a fromSoftware style video but with good production values.   this is going to be amazing.

I think it looks great.

Is this your first time seeing it, or have you watched his dev streams?

My first 8 mile run at 10:00 pace!!!

I did the first 60 minutes mouth shut to add even more evidence showing that my heart is a freak of nature. It's not good, it's just abnormal

Heretic was great!

I highly recomend. Me recomending it might make you not love it since I went in with low expectations, but it was a lot smarter than I expected.

I'm sure I'll like the movie, but nothing about the trailer excites me.  

I am interested to see Jason Momoa as Lobo. Something about that feels like he's the perfect actor for it. And I'm not even sure why.

Is there a point where companies start pushing smaller games harder?

3 of the past 5 TGA Game of the Year winners were not huge AAA budget games. 

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Astro Bot
Baldur's Gate 3
Elden Ring
It Takes Two

I think they should definitely start taking notice that games don't need to be these hundreds of millions of dollar bloat filled games to be great.  The industry as a whole would start getting in better shape if they did.

It's funny how much of a rejection it is to the witness.

The Witness was the ultimate "wow that looks great" game and then lots of people tried it and struggled with the puzzles. Meanwhile this has like basically nothing to sell itself except puzzles. I don't think anyone is going to buy this unless they already identify as a puzzle freak.


The trailer is pretty bad haha. Even the cover art for the youtube video looks like a cheep indie game you've never heard of. Very sausage roll vibes.

This kind of summarizes my thoughts on it, to be honest.

One thing that I've been doing more is editing the chatbot responses, which on some level feels like it defeats the purpose. Usually just taking away something it's said.

Like for example, if I try to ask it to pretend to be a Japanese teacher, it'll like to put romaji, which I don't want. (which is where it writes the Japanese text with English letters).  So I'll remove them, and a lot of times it will start to recognize that it doesn't need to add them. 


------

I had a strange bug a few weeks ago, where it kept streaming, making the response longer and longer. And very weirdly each line was getting more extreme.  It was supposed to be generating like 2 sentences at a time. But it was on sentence like 45, and it kept going.  I shut off my app, to stop it from continuing. 

Watching it continue escalating every sentence was kind of fascinating though. Only happened once, and it was so strange. 

Smart. The second an AI does something wrong, it's locked in. Better to edit than to tell it to change.



Those bugs are fun. It's interesting that the stop token is just a regular token so yeah if the AI weirds out it might never stop itself.
