Comment Re:I hope they realize people hate slop (Score 1) 72

people hate AI slop, and doing all these slop-enabling AI things is just going to erode the trust in the actual market.

This. No good game was ever created from a single prompt. Not to an AI, not a human development team. Every single person writing those damn "look which game my AI built from a single prompt and $x in tokens!" postings is a newbie and almost certainly has never actually shipped a single game.

Game development can be summed up as endless iterations. Every system you build, every visual you create, every sound, text, button, movement, weapon, skill, powerup needs polishing, refinement and changes. It is never, never good enough the first time.

And no, Roblox is not a serious gaming platform.

No it is not, but it IS a very successful platform for a specific subclass of games. If I were in it for the money, I could probably AI refactor some of my earliest games and publish them on Roblox and make a quick buck. If your thing is the kind of games you played on your C64 back in 1793, then Roblox got you covered. Well, if you ignore the scams and money-grabbing.

Comment oh Unity, how you lost your way (Score 1) 72

*sigh* I wish Unity would actually complete some of their dozens half-finished sub-systems instead of constantly chasing the latest trend. It's become really, really annoying. The engine used to be really good. These days, it falls apart if you look at it the wrong way, and at least from the responses to my bug reports it's clear that fixing issues is way down on the agenda.

Maybe this is their attempt to regain grounds in the indie game market - the very market they pushed away by focussing on AAA requirements for years and ignoring the single devs and small teams. If so, I can already tell them that it won't work. We collectively laugh about all the "look what my AI built for me from a single prompt" postings on reddit, where people proudly show off some AI slop that would get them last place at a game jam.

Their AI efforts so far: Tried to build and sell their own AI tools, to a collective yawn from the audience. Built a barely-working MCP server, then deprecated it before it was even finished in order to push a CLI interface to the editor instead, which only works if it's run as the same user as the editor on the same machine. And completely ignores every single advise on workflows and good development practices you can think of.

Unity, I love your engine, I despise your management. Please return to when you were actually good and stop chasing butterflies.

That depends.

If you are a regular pleb, yes. You would be prosecuted to the fullest extent.

If you are a billionaire running a "frontier lab", no. You will be afforded the ability to "self-regulate" and any incident like this will be met with a "gawrsh, you can't get progress nobody is asking for without some bad things happening, so suck it up petunia"

Please name a single lawmaker advocating for Sharia law at the federal level.

Please name a single lawmaker in a statewide office advocating for Sharia law, in any of the 50 states.

Link to a publicly available quote, from any source.

Your faux "patriotism" is manufactured racist bigoted fear, from your firehose of propaganda. There is absolutely no danger of "Sharia law" being instituted anywhere.

Stop letting the propagandists lead you around by the nose, selling you answers to non-existing problems. Verify these outlandish claims, because you sound like an absolute fucking idiot.

You are parroting the bigot bullshit from Republicans that are selling you a bullshit issue. This makes you at least a passive bigot hayseed easily bilked by sociopaths, if not actively a bigot. QED.

Nobody cares about this except bigots, culture war hayseeds easily bilked by Republican politicians, and actual trans athletes. So which are you?
