DarkViperAU made a pretty decent series about a particular version of what you describe: reacters

With the endless ethical and legal issues around GenAI, I would very much hope that Valve continues being cautious (even if it's evidently just to cover their own arses). Once we have models and datasets for AI generated game assets that are trained from entirely ethical sources (artist permissions, licences, etc.) and not just the "scrape everything and train our models from that" approach that is currently used, then maybe it could be a good thing for games. Even still, the generated assets will likely have no copyright (as is the case now), so we'll surely end up at "AI generated content flip games" flooding Steam.

ooo lovely. 1, 4 and 6 are my favourites.
you should do a "kbinaut" style one but with the bird in a bin for the "kbinners" : D

Since Brandon Sanderson's Secret Project #3 came out on Saturday morning (Yumi and the Nightmare Painter) that's what I'm reading for the next week.

Probably Life is Strange. It did a lot for me in my mid-late 20s.

Congrats! My partner is currently waiting to get tested for ADHD after realising at the age of 34 that maybe she has it and it's not just other problems or incompetence.

Fury Road is so close to a perfect movie
Valve quietly not publishing games that contain AI generated content if the submitters can't prove they own the rights to the assets the AI was trained on

I do believe that Mastodon supports Elasticsearch/Opensearch OOTB, so you're not wrong on NoSQLs being fediverse compatible.
Personally I haven't looked into the kbin stack so I can't give an opinion as to why psql is used over X.

I use RSS feeds (via Newsblur) for most of the news, and Twitter because I still follow too many journos there.
How can you have 1000+ hours in a single game, work on a personal project for 10 months, spend 4 years writing a novel?
question about this magazine: would it be more sensible to redirect people to post sales links (e.g. the weekly EGS free game) into [https://kbin.social/m/gamedeals](https://kbin.social/m/gamedeals) instead of likely potential dupe posts here (that has at least already happened)?

It's very cute! But flocks of cockatoos are deafening and I'm sure someone could read into that somehow 😅

The most hours I've ever put into a game (that wasn't WoW pre-Cata) is 99 (Persona 5). My brain just can't (or won't) comprehend playing something for x-hundred/thousand hours even if I really enjoy it.

I, like many of the other replies, feel quite the same. Although I think the highlight of this for me is just how less aggressive and how much more receptive and open to discussion people have been. tbf i still mostly lurk but I've commented more here in a few days than I have in the final few years I was on reddit.

...seek towards creating healthier and way less toxic communities anyways
this is the main thing I want from a "reddit alternative", but since all the kbins/lemmys are being treated as "reddit alternatives" I really don't see this happening

creating magazines (and other subreddit analogues) with poor "humour" titles like those "X-masterrace" ones.
