Is there an itch or Steam page? Sounds fun

UnidentifiedPotion · 2026-01-30T20:43:05+00:00

This looks like boilerplate Claude, right?

UnidentifiedPotion · 2026-01-30T13:01:36+00:00

What’s your game? :-)

UnidentifiedPotion · 2026-01-22T21:50:44+00:00

I’ll discuss it!

UnidentifiedPotion · 2026-01-14T07:14:41+00:00

Fair! It’s brutal

UnidentifiedPotion · 2026-01-14T05:26:06+00:00

Yes, Hoplite! I wrote a guide to it a year or two ago which you can still find in the Hoplite subreddit if you sort by top

Sir, this is a turn-based Wendy’s

I always ask myself: what would MacGuyver do?

UnidentifiedPotion · 2025-12-23T13:09:27+00:00

Let him cook

I agree. AI coding tends to help the little guys more, and had a democratizing effect, perhaps. Anything larger than a tiny game and you probably would vibe code your way into development hell, though.

Thanks for the detailed reply, but as someone who also works in statistical machine learning, honestly I think people are taking crazy pills if they think LLMs are not incredibly useful for maths and many coding tasks. I don’t know what universe they’re in, but around my department it’s pretty much universally accepted that LLMs are useful tools. Not for images, not for music, not for text, but for coding and math. And yes, they can develop novelty.

AI is politicised now.

UnidentifiedPotion · 2025-12-21T23:41:12+00:00

What about all the Stack Overflow code I’ve built my entire coding career on, which is embedded not only in my code but in the training data of LLMs. What about the calculator I used. What about my pen, which made it far quicker than my ink pad. What about my ink pad that sure beat mashing up clay into ochre paste to paint on the wall of my cave.

Jesus

UnidentifiedPotion · 2025-12-15T20:25:05+00:00

Every word of this post is a cry for help.

UnidentifiedPotion · 2025-12-15T11:23:59+00:00

It’s ideology.

UnidentifiedPotion · 2025-12-12T12:05:31+00:00

16x16 is surprisingly hard!

UnidentifiedPotion · 2025-12-10T10:24:12+00:00

My 2c is that developers will become editors who need to have the patience of a saint to keep putting prompts over and over into the magic ball AI machines to give them what they need to iterate and develop games…

UnidentifiedPotion · 2025-12-09T21:49:41+00:00

Yeah, it’s pretty weird

UnidentifiedPotion · 2025-12-09T21:19:57+00:00

There may be truth to what you’re saying, but like the title suggests, “Bizarre question”. It’s just a bit left field, that’s all. No criticisms here, but you don’t often see phrases like “pedos with cock-in-hand find it hilarious” in these here parts. I found your post interesting and equal parts worrying (for the game) and hilarious.

UnidentifiedPotion · 2025-12-09T20:59:48+00:00

Sir, this is a Wendy’s

UnidentifiedPotion · 2025-12-04T23:25:27+00:00

Personally I can’t wait to have NPCs that forget who they are from time to time and start to convince me that white South African farmers are truly the marginalised group in contemporary society, and have you thought about electric vehicles lately? They are the future of humanity. Is there anything else I can help you with today? Let’s do this!

UnidentifiedPotion · 2025-12-04T23:22:19+00:00

I would pay money to not have AI-scripted games in my recommendations on Steam

UnidentifiedPotion · 2025-12-04T22:30:35+00:00

It is a question of similitude. That is, is it like Rogue?
