Gasp! You take that back!

Someone just needs to make a discord clone on Matrix, can’t be that hard, right?

How does it compare to stoat?

I’ve often dreamed of a Save the Date (visual novel by paperdino) film, because that game does some amazing exploration of what it means to interact with fiction.

Indeed, it’s 100% about respecting the user. Windows does not.

Unreal Engine did some amazing things at a technical level but doesn’t really seem to be ready for consumers. I somewhat don’t even blame the developers for assuming that UE5 would be the right choice considering all the marketing Epic did to make it sound like a magical wand for free performance.

Paralives is supposed to go into early access this year too.

Eh this is a non article. Basically 99% of these are AI shovelware by some low income shovelware factory. They probably are just fishing for a random meme game that hits rather than actually expecting success.

AGPL, nice

I love projects like this. Do one thing, super well, without adding a kajillion dependencies. I love the vanilla HTML / CSS approach.

Game mechanics cannot be copyrighted or patented, but design elements can. There may be enough legal standing to do something about this but I highly doubt it. And it would almost certainly not be worth it financially.

The biggest problem with Cyberpunk 2077’s redemption arc is that they pulled it off, and now a bunch of studios think they can do it too.

That’s a really delightful bit of hackery. Props to the creator.

Algae is also more efficient per cubic meter, if I understand correctly.

No but it is tone deaf (heh) to use Claude, a non-self hosted AI, and Suno, another non-self hosted AI to literally sing the praises of why you shouldn’t use corporate software.

Especially when open source and open weight models exist to do both of those things, albeit at a lower quality.

I’m not sure that’s true, if I understand correctly, Steam Deck has more RAM and a better CPU. It’d only be true for graphics card constrained games.

You certainly will get all that on a Steam Deck, if you give it a little time.
