I know exactly how I feel about ai "art". It is hideous beyond measure and every place that values anything about art or just human beings needs to shame it and everyone who touches the stuff.
Do not legitimize anything about it. Writing "prompts" is as absurd as augury and less meaningful too. Do not use it for "inspiration" or sketches or suggestions. Poison your actual art work so it fucks their database. Fight this trash at every cost. Every scribble you do on the side of your notebook is worth more than the entirety of Dalle and Midjourney combined.
I'm 100% Luddite on this. If I could smash their datacenters with a brick hammer, I wouldn't stop until my fingers bled.
Thinking back to my dota days makes me cringe so hard. I loved the game but by god was I a whiny bitch at times. Solo queue is a disfunctional game mode that should be purged from the planet.
The only way these games truly can bring joy is if you play with friends that share the same attitude. Talking to real human beings really mitigates so much of the negative feelings that these games potentially generate.
Aim assist being in everything - if it's crossplay, sure, level the playing field, but if it's console v console there's no need for that shit.
I love aim assist. It just needs to be reframed as an accessibility option. Especially with gamepads, having some tracking and magnetism makes games where you have to aim so much more enjoyable. My wrists and thumbs just aren't doing the same things any more as when I was younger.
It's probably not easy to find the balance, but in any single player or casual multiplayer game it is a very welcome sight.
It's often enough AAA with tons of money that force insane crunch to hit a release date and still have buggy, uncompleted games.
Cut it stripes, some salt, fry in a pan and you can throw it over a lot of dishes.
Botanical fun fact: cabbage is just a variant of Brassica oleracea, which includes like every tasty vegetable on the planet: cauliflower, broccoli, brussel sprouts, kohlrabi, kale, collards, all kinds of cabbage shapes, colours and sizes, and more.
I wish I liked them. They seem so useful and plentiful, but they taste so utterly interesting to me. Yes, if they are slathered in oil and perfectly grilled and seasoned, they are fine. But then again what isn't.
The whole point about these kind of games is about iteration and learning from them. Many people just play very fast and without any reflection, on what actually went wrong. Never forget that all of these games want you to win. Deck building isn't a magical skill, it is just familiarity with the game and it's mechanics. The balance between "do I have enough cards that do something" and "do I have enough resources/time/mana to play my cards that do something" just comes through experience. And if you don't enjoy the experience, it's fine to find something else.
Digging into some German Wikipedia reveals several places, usually forrests, called Totenberg with disputed naming origins. F.e. totus, latin for all,everything and related Germanic roots. references to deserted, "dead" places or towns, names like Dodo, Toto, Teito.
So "person from that one place named after Dodo" is at least equally likely in origin. Etymology is weird.
I am baffled how from software still makes the games they make. There is zero loot boxes, always online, games-as-a-service bullshit and not a single fucking micro transaction in their whole incredible lineup. The scummiest thing they did was a half assed remaster of DS1 that replaced the original Prepare-to-Die edition, which sucked but in a world of EAs, Blizzards, Ubisofts and Bethesdas I can't really stay mad.
Hundreds of furious consultants must have pointed at big excel sheets projecting the millions they'd make on the Malenia Armour DLC, but they just keep saying no. They just make a real game and people buy it and then they make another game. It feels truly anachronistic.
