I think you might be underselling how important things like the steam workshop and steam's multiplayer support are.

Games like Starbound or Don't Starve benefit a lot from the workshop.

While insert any party game gains a lot out of steam's multiplayer support and friend list.

Also, while I don't use Linux myself, Steam is one of the main reasons why Linux Gaming is a thing.

Oh yes, Alan Turing, such a famous capitalist.

What I hate is the term being yet another scientific term ~~to get stolen and watered down~~ created by ~~brainless capitalists~~ researchers and scientists so they can ~~scam money out of~~ describe ideas to other ~~brainless capitalists~~ researchers and scientists.

The term AI as we use it today has been in use in the field of computer science for more than 50 years

The term that you describe as AI is what researchers in the field have called AGI for more than a decade.

The only place where AI is used to mean a artificial intelligence on the same level of humans is in fucking science fiction.

Is it hard to comprehend that when people say AI on the topic of something made by computer scientists they refer to the thing computer scientists call AI?

Do you go on gaming conversations and say: "Um... Akshually... it's not AI... it's just a behaviour heuristics 🤓"

No, it's indeed a top down terraria.

Considerate literally comes from considering (aka thinking of other people when making decisions), if you forget to take other people into account when making decisions, you're being inconsiderate.

It's not complicated.

I like them in fire emblem, I suppose they have too much range in three houses but in most games (in the franchise) they're actually pretty bad.

Imagine you have to go to the grocery store (interact with an item), but it's far, so you can't (the game has bad readability).

Someone makes cars (yellow paint).

Post OP says: fuck cars (yellow paint).

Comment OP says: I think we should be able to choose between having cars or walking (having yellow paint or not).

I'm saying: this option sucks (having yellow paint or nothing), we should have good public transport instead (good art/environment design that doesn't cause confusion).

Is that a hot take?

Who... are you arguing with?

You?

Did you read any of my comment at all?

Yeah?

I'm saying give the players the choice to enable it or not.

And I'm saying that by giving a choice at all, you're already failing the players that don't want it. Aka, not a "everyone wins".

My point is that yellow paint isn't bad because it's ugly or breaks immersion, it is bad because there can be good design that communicates the same thing without being ugly and immersion breaking.

Removing the former doesn't suddenly bring the latter into existence.

The yellow paint is already here to stay!

I'm arguing that it shouldn't.

[–] Randomguy@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wrong. If the devs can't communicate something without copious amounts of yellow paint, that's a failure of design, not player intelligence.

[–] Randomguy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (8 children)

Not really. Yellow paint isn't a thing for shits and giggles, it's there to make the game readable.

Before yellow paint, games needed to have good art direction (instead of "realism") or good environment design to either make it clear something is meant to be interacted with or to point the player in the right direction.

Simply removing yellow paint doesn't suddenly improve art direction or environment design, it just makes the game needlessly hard to read.

Might be a location thing, where I live temperatures over 30 are the norm (humid too, shit sucks). 40 days are rare but not unheard of either. Meanwhile, my only experience with anything lower than 15 is the fridge.

[–] Randomguy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (3 children)

More like 0 is really cold and 40 is really hot, so 20 must be perfect, which it is.
