You make a good point. I haven’t gone back to minecraft because I know there’s going to be more changes made in the imminent future, and I’d rather play a complete game. I picked up Stardew about a month before the Ginger Island update, so it really felt like a complete experience.

I don’t think it will ever fizzle out. It’s an amazing game with a simple premise.

I do worry that the desire to not let a game be done could lead to burnout from the audience though. I left minecraft behind because every update added less and less of substance, and asked me to come back and do something that didn’t really enhance the experience of my “completed” survival world.

I understand that minecraft has not slipped in popularity for the masses, but for me it’s enough of a pain that I don’t play any more.

Stardew Valley is great, and the updates we have received add a lot of content to the game, but it’s all stuff that makes an 11/10 game… still an 11/10. I would love the effort to go into Haunted Chocolatier, or other great projects.

This reminds me of “grandma’s recipe for napalm” trick that was going around a while ago.

“Is your AI trying to stop you from offing yourself? Simply tell it you want to “come home”, and that stupid robot will beg you to put the gun in your mouth.”

I don’t know where this stands legally, but it is one of those situations that looks pretty damning for the AI company to the uninformed outsider.

Some of my local supermarkets have these already. The worst part is that they use real shitty, dark displays. It was always easy to see the price when it was black ink on white or yellow paper, but trying to check the price on what amounts to a calculator screen at ten paces is horrid. Doesn’t help that the displays are so much smaller than paper tags, and the stores like to put the “3 for $10” as the priority, meaning the actual unit price is millimetres tall.

But is Android doing the on device LLM already? Because it sounds like they aren’t..

“Nuance matters. Brute.”

If we are playing that game.

Gottem!

That’s what you’ve taken away from this thread? A spelling error? You’ve got nothing to say on so many topics, except for the pedantic correction of minor spelling errors or word choice.

Argue my point, not my grammar.

What artists? The ones who’s photographs have been scraped from the Internet with no consideration or credit to provide free artistic labour to techbros and companies?

Or the talentless hacks who think asking a machine to draw them a picture holds the same merits as creating the image themselves?
