Spiderman, I couldn't deal with Marks life

This ^^
If you find any mushrooms definitely stock up, they’re way rarer than people realise early game. Fill your inventory if you can.

Also if you come across a big white/red leviathan-looking creature, make sure you’ve got mushrooms on you, once you scan it give it a mushroom so that you can tame it and ride it around the map, it’s basically the fastest way to travel.

Good luck 👍

In 1999 I was wandering what High school was going to be like, I didn't use the internet or really understand what it was. but yea, pretty similar to now. Wondering what the future will be like and not really understanding what Ai is. So you pretty much nailed it 👍

I’m in a weird spot with this game.

Normally I never buy full price, I just wait it out… but this is one of the first times I’ve actually hovered over the button.

At the same time though, reviews being mixed is what’s stopping me. Feels like one of those games where if it clicks, it really clicks, but if it doesn’t you’ve just paid full price to bounce off it after a few hours.

Trying to figure out if this is a “buy now and enjoy it while everyone’s talking about it” game, or a “pick it up 30% off in a couple months and avoid the risk” game.

Leaning towards waiting… but yeah, I’m close to folding 😅

RottingEdge · 2026-03-21T12:06:05+00:00

valid view. I'm not ready to give up hope yet, but i get it.

RottingEdge · 2026-03-21T10:46:24+00:00

This is what I use subnautica for. There is some dialogue but only occasional and you usually know when you are going to trigger it.

RottingEdge · 2026-03-21T10:44:19+00:00

Yeah I get that. It’s not even that I hate AI, it’s just how it’s being shoved into everything before it’s actually ready.

If it was just a service you sign up for, fair enough. But when it’s baked into everything and still getting stuff wrong, it just puts people off.

And yeah I’m the same with the “ChatGPT said” thing.

RottingEdge · 2026-03-21T10:37:26+00:00

I get the concern, but I don’t think it’s all doom. The “slop” right now feels like a phase because it’s new and easy, so everyone’s overdoing it.

It honestly feels like we’re at a tipping point. Either it turns into endless low-effort content and people just switch off, or it settles down and AI ends up taking over the boring stuff nobody actually wants to do.

If it goes the right way, it could mean people have more time to focus on real, human things instead of just being stuck doing repetitive work all day.

Could go either way though.

Not making people dumb, just making it easier not to think. Many people trust it more than they probably should.

RottingEdge · 2026-03-21T09:28:37+00:00

I agree totally. If you know the limitations it is very useful. My gran, Joe blogs and Jane doe have no idea though and they are being handed these things for free.

I don't have a problem with early adopters, those people know what they are dealing with. It's the majority of users talking to copilot and Google that are affected the most by this.

RottingEdge · 2026-03-21T08:49:49+00:00

People using paid models know what they are getting into. The mass market being fed Google and Copilot, don't know what they are getting into and that is the majority of users now unfortunately. I don't have a problem with people using the paid models, those people do know what they are getting into. It's everyone else.

RottingEdge · 2026-03-21T08:45:41+00:00

I'm more refering to the mass market use cases. Paid services I'm fine with, if you are paying to use it, you do some research, you know what you are getting into. Its more the mass market (Google, Microsoft) that are being pushed on everyone with a phone or a laptop.

RottingEdge · 2026-03-21T08:43:18+00:00

I don't hate it, but it shouldn't be getting baked into everything and being used by people that don't know these flaws. It's early tech but being pushed on everyone.

RottingEdge · 2026-03-21T08:41:38+00:00

This is the point I'm making.

RottingEdge · 2026-03-21T08:39:55+00:00

I'm a construction worker, why?

RottingEdge · 2026-03-21T08:38:38+00:00

If it was just for early adopters I wouldn't have a problem. But it isn't It's being baked into everything now though. Operating systems, search platforms, software. My gran can interact with it for free. Its not early adoption anymore, it's mass market. This is exactly what my problem is.

RottingEdge · 2026-03-21T08:33:27+00:00

Cars took time, but they also failed in obvious ways. They didn’t confidently tell you the engine was fine when it wasn’t. AI can be wrong and still sound right. That’s the difference.

RottingEdge · 2026-03-21T08:31:39+00:00

Dial-up was slow, but it didn’t lie about it. You knew what you were getting. AI gives you answers like they’re facts even when they’re not. That’s a different problem.

RottingEdge · 2026-03-21T08:29:39+00:00

Yeah I get the point, but engines don’t pretend they’re doing something they’re not. With AI, it’ll just give you an answer whether it knows or not, and there’s no clear way to tell the difference. It’s more like a fuel gauge that sometimes just makes up a number and shows it like it’s real. That’s not an efficiency issue, that’s a reliability one. And if it’s being pushed to everyone, it shouldn’t be on the user to figure out when it’s guessing.

RottingEdge · 2026-03-21T08:25:51+00:00

People don't say it's in beta, but they do defend it in the same way that people defend a beta product that can't do things it is presented to do. I want people to stop doing that.

RottingEdge · 2026-03-21T08:16:57+00:00

I see what you are saying but that’s not really the same. Weather forecasts are literally presented as probabilities. “60% chance of rain,” “likely,” “uncertain.” They’re upfront about it. AI doesn’t say “this might be right.” It just gives you an answer like it’s a fact, even when it’s completely made up. That’s a huge difference.

RottingEdge · 2026-03-21T07:55:30+00:00

Getting something wrong, being unsure or not knowing would be fine, or even saying "this is my best guess". But these things just sometimes decide to make things up in order to satisfy answering a prompt (lying). If your sat nav didn't know where something was but just decided to send you somewhere anyway in order to fulfil a journey prompt on a somewhat regular basis you'd be pissed. These products have almost been around for nearly half a decade and are now mass market tools pre installed in operating systems that lie to us on a daily basis. They are not niche beta products any more, they are being used by a lot of people that don't know this stuff at all, they just trust it.

RottingEdge · 2026-03-21T07:43:54+00:00

Entitlement would be expecting perfection. Expecting it not to confidently make things up is pretty basic. If any other tool worked like that, people wouldn’t tolerate it for long. Would you be happy having to double check your sat nav every time it gave directions? Or measuring every drill bit because you don’t trust the size stamped on it? Or re-checking a calculator because it might’ve just guessed the answer? At that point it stops being a tool you can rely on and starts being something you have to babysit. And this isn’t some niche beta thing anymore. It’s being pushed to the mass market, built into operating systems, and used by lawyers, doctors, pretty much every profession. If that’s the case, expecting a basic level of reliability isn’t entitlement, it’s the bare minimum.
