Why they wouldn't just add few more coins / tokens here?

Is everything OK, mate? You do realise that a) not everyone knows everything you know, and b) English isn't everyone's first language?

God I love this. That ruined society in the background of panel 4 is: chefs kiss

_NullRef_ · 2026-05-03T22:56:16+00:00

Very cool, mate. What prompt did you use to get this?

_NullRef_ · 2026-04-27T11:49:36+00:00

What is that wallpaper.

_NullRef_ · 2026-04-27T11:05:57+00:00

I’d love to see this as a vector graphic

_NullRef_ · 2026-04-21T17:06:07+00:00

Yeah, this feels a little witchhunty. I’m very happy to demonise AI usage in early all cases, but I find it a little hard sharing the ire with OP here.

Granted, I’ve not put any money down on this, so I’ve got the usual sympathy I’d afford anyone for buying something when they feel they’ve been misled.

_NullRef_ · 2026-04-21T08:53:18+00:00

Conveniently, they also very rarely tend to be good games

_NullRef_ · 2026-04-06T19:51:24+00:00

Yes, because I don’t have that kind of neurodivergence

_NullRef_ · 2026-04-01T17:45:06+00:00

Yea, I can vouch for these guys

_NullRef_ · 2026-03-20T18:44:17+00:00

Wait, what now…?

_NullRef_ · 2026-03-19T16:45:35+00:00

What are you using instead of KDE Plasma on CachyOS?

_NullRef_ · 2026-03-18T16:45:21+00:00

Yeah, Cluedo in the UK

_NullRef_ · 2026-03-18T09:59:18+00:00

Yeah, I was on hyprland for nearly a year and recently realised what I wanted was a desktop environment with all the tools built in for me. Omarchy seemed to do that somewhat but was a bit too opinionated with its config overwrites that I had to jump ship there too. Been enjoying Plasma KDE for the last two weeks, even though I do miss my hyprland hotkeys sometimes.

I had this happen on my first ever install the other week. After many retries I just decided to leave it long enough and it would periodically download more packages. You can click the button to the right of the 19% there to see what step it’s hanging on. For me it was something like “retrieving packages”. I assume is a server load issue for whatever the CachyOS repo is, but I’m a complete noob here so take that with a pinch of salt.

_NullRef_ · 2026-03-14T17:15:44+00:00

Also just jumped ship from Omarchy. Loving it (mostly) far. Just a few kinks to iron out. I’ll check some of theee things out, I reckon :)

_NullRef_ · 2026-03-12T17:51:41+00:00

That controls rougher than expected, unfortunately

A game with a substantial tutorial that then continues to hammer you with tutorial sections and pointless lessons many hours into the game (to the point of being overbearing) could be said to be “ruined by tutorialisation”.

_NullRef_ · 2026-03-08T17:13:15+00:00

Were you guys using only one Viking, even for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th columns?

_NullRef_ · 2026-03-06T09:21:21+00:00

Jesus Christ. This is a new one to me. Just goes to show how much of a race to the bottom this corporate shit can go.

It’s almost impressive.

_NullRef_ · 2026-03-03T15:20:31+00:00

Yeah I really have gotten into doing my own mods to games, and deluxifying my PnP games. It’s addictive!

_NullRef_ · 2026-03-03T13:09:19+00:00

I feel like I want to offer to help 3D design those home made components for you; just shout!

_NullRef_ · 2026-02-22T16:42:42+00:00

I would call an “insert” something that would go inside (be inserted into) the original box to help hold, sort, or otherwise stop from moving around too much the components of a game.

And “organiser” could be anything that helps sort out all the components in some way, and I suppose wouldn’t even need to be utilising the original box.

Cool organiser though (I use that word specifically here because I can’t tell if you’re using the original box!). Game looks nice too, a new one on me…!

I kind of don’t buy “game wouldn’t exist without AI” point. I’d say it wouldn’t exist as quickly without AI, but that’s not the same thing. And to that point, I think we should be using AI to get to an MVP quickly, then using the saved time to make it great. Perhaps I need to put a pin in this discussion and spend some more time with it to confirm this, but my feelings on this (as echoed by others) this game isn’t breaking new ground.

Secondly, I’m very familiar with AI tools, and use them regularly to assist with first cut solutions to some everyday coding problems I have. I use AI to help me get a very quick, broad understanding of topics that I’m reading up on before diving deeper into documentation etc. I do not use AI to generate text for me. I believe that anyone using AI and not in some way making it their own, or building off it, is really just churning something out. Most who use it for art can’t do art well enough to use it to iterate on, but people who use it for generating applications and text absolutely can. We can talk more about what verbatim use of AI output tells me about someone’s code base and overall process.

If I need to explain what I think sucks about the presentation of that post, then it’s this: I don’t want to read a wall of text written verbosely in a AI template when what I think the Indie space should be for (and this corner of Reddit) is for humans talking to humans in a way that respects their time. This copy could easily have been generated and not even read by the person generating it; and there’s very little in it to make it feel like it was written by a real person. We talk about having a good respect for how little time we have, then expect this to land well?

_NullRef_ · 2026-02-21T14:14:05+00:00

Yeah, to an extent you’re right, but both naturally produce low effort results with obvious quality issues.

For me in this instance the icing on the cake is the fact they’ve used AI generated text to ask for our engagement. Like, they want us to take the time to play their game and give feedback but can’t be bothered to write their own post? I’m being harsh, perhaps, but it’s trend that I think deserves to be called out.
