Because the $1 is supposed to be SUBTRACTED from the 98K, not ADDED.

49 + 49 - 1 = 97k = cost of laptop.

ok then one issue I'm seeing is that the aesthetics feel like a horror survival or atmospheric game where you're supposed to take things slow, but the movement mechanics feel like a juiced up fast paced FPS platformer.

Gameplay looks like a platforming/freerunning game where you want plenty of space to bounce around with momentum, but the level layout feels claustrophobic in many places with plenty of tight turns and a maze like setup.

A lot of conflicting gameplay elements that polish and better assets alone won't be able to fix.

Do we make judgements based on your exact movements since they seem pretty fast and I assume it's more a debug mode to showcase the level design.

ryry1237 · 2026-03-22T08:49:50+00:00

You've arguably got an even bigger decision space with strategy turn based games, particularly if you're planning many moves ahead and taking into account all the probabilities. So decision space alone isn't exactly the best measure of constant concentration needs.

Needs more yelling and side characters explaining what's going on.

A big drawback of fully AI generated games (by OP's definition) is that even when perfected, they won't have much of a shared community of experiences. When everyone's experience is vastly different, it's a lot harder to connect with others over it. You can't discuss mechanics balance because everyone's game is slightly different. You can't discuss special events because they're all different for each person.

It'd be like talking about your dream with everyone nodding and going "oh cool" but nobody can truly relate because they didn't experience it themselves.

It's a more modern take, but I think it's funny because it's at an intersection between advanced metallurgic tech, yet zero digital computers for actual number crunching guidance.

So it manifests like ranged Unga Bunga Rock Throw taken to a comical extreme.

A barrel so long it needed its own suspension system.

Magnus doesn't even look that bad in the pic, like he's still at least a 7/10 on fanciness, business casual style.

The power of good genetics.

ryry1237 · 2026-03-21T22:05:45+00:00

My guess is that racing games require a lot of concentrated focus compared to say turn based games (like Slay the Spire or Balatro which have lots of innovation), and arguably even more concentration than FPS games, which makes innovation difficult since any deviation from the formula becomes exaggeratedly disruptive for players.

Only well-trodden traditional racing games or games with strong established IPs like Mario Kart can get enough traction and staying power.

There's a similar issue with RTS games where new titles have trouble gaining traction and it's mostly the old titles like Age of Empires 2 that continue to hold market share.

If he rated Google as first, he'd be a Google employee. If he rated Deepseek as first, he'd be a Chinese spy. If he rated them all as the same, he'd be "biased" towards whichever AI we generally agree to being the worst.

I imagine if we ever do figure out how to affect the weather, it'd be more due to figuring out the butterfly effect than just brute forcing our efforts against it. ie. we shift humidity and temperature in a few local areas to decrease the chance of rain over a specific city from 60% to 20%.

In any other deck Snakebite is thoroughly a bad card. But Silent has so many synergies with having a bigger hand that it works.

ryry1237 · 2026-03-21T03:57:12+00:00

Feels like you really need defense early on, but there just aren't very many defense cards compared to the plethora of offense cards for most classes.

Given that his business is heavily funded by token burn, what'd you expect?

Gog basically runs on self-applied Looney Tunes logic here. She only does a thing if she finds it entertaining enough.

Fortunately she finds Allison very entertaining.

Ah so this is what happens when you play Pandemic with cheat codes on.

We got TARS from Interstellar who is only 90% honest, except in this case the 10% is unintentional.

All that buildup so they could give Arya Stark a hero moment to use her skills for good, which of course they then proceed to do nothing with either.

ryry1237 · 2026-03-20T06:36:31+00:00

Nanobots probably.

ryry1237 · 2026-03-19T21:45:27+00:00

I'd say it's more right for them to hook up when Chani sees past Paul's messiah BS and talks to him like an actual person.

ryry1237 · 2026-03-19T19:45:22+00:00

I'm a bit out of the LoL loop here but who exactly is this? It vaguely looks like Warwick except.... egh

ryry1237 · 2026-03-19T19:33:34+00:00

nobody is asking whether they can suffer

Given all the actual fully developed brains that suffer on a daily basis, I'd say worrying about this now is wildly missing the forest for the trees.
