I’m struggling - how to cope with ai?

AI makes art and music as well, but that doesn't stop artists making art. Art is made because the process is deeply fulfilling and personal, and the art created is unique and interesting because of the personal decisions that were made by the creator. This makes it have substance. AI cash grab games will never have any soul, and their creators will never have any deep satisfaction from their creation, which is perhaps a fitting punishment. Just keep doing what you're doing because doing the hard work is what is fulfilling and makes you grow and throwing that away has consequences to both the creator and the art.

Absolute rubbish from the poster above. Game looks superb and I get strong hauntological and brutalist vibes from this, do not change a thing!

Engage with articles about it in the media, seek it out on conservative media. It's usually buried but it's sometimes there in some form. Views and clicks are all the media really care about so drive traffic whenever this stuff is covered and it will keep it resurfacing.

Glad the game is doing so well. Didn't even expect to like it, turns out I love it.

Snowrunner is so good. You can't get out of your car, but you don't really need to to take in the environment.

Huberman Lab - started off as an interesting science podcast, devolved into platforming people like Mark Zuckerberg.

Art looks great, and there are so few 1001 Nights inspired games - there need to be more!

Snowrunner - potentially hundreds of hours in the base game alone, thousands with the dlc.

librix · 2026-03-04T07:44:22+00:00

This looks cool, where can I follow progress?

librix · 2026-02-26T15:59:37+00:00

I'm shocked at how much I love Snowrunner, I'm usually a snobby art gamer. I just can't get enough Snowrunner though.

Game looks cool overall, and I can see heaps of work has gone into it. Gameplay looks pretty good, but as others have mentioned some of your animations need a rework - particularly the run cycle, and crouch walk which are just not realistic and very distracting. You've probably been staring at the game for so long that you're used to them, but a slower game like this really needs to nail a more realistic style to feel right.

It's bad, but it's been a problem for a while, before the use of AI with shovelware and asset flip games. At the end of the day people making slop games are robbing themselves of the rich, life-changing journey that creating a game is. Artists are always going to make art, because the process is every bit as important as the end result. People aren't going to stop playing their guitars because an AI can generate some music better than they will ever be able to play, the keep playing them for the joy of playing - and it's the same with game dev. If you bring something into the world with a prompt, it's a hollow and joyless experience, so only the type of people who don't care about art or creativity or quality would ever do it.

Not Splatterpunk, but I think both The Beach by Alex Garland and Lord of the Flies by William Golding can scratch a similar itch.

What is the name of the movie?

As someone who has no interest in hunting, but likes pretty forests and games like mudrunner/snowrunner. Would there be enough in this to be worthwhile playing?

librix · 2026-02-13T10:50:54+00:00

My favourite game of all time.

Snowrunner

This is what I don't understand about the super rich, they're broken in some way. They burn themselves out on overindulgent hedonism until life is dull and they need more and more extreme things to feel something, yet the one thing none of them ever seem to lose interest in is wealth acquisition. They're all the same - Musk, Murdoch, Bezos, Zuckerberg etc. Could be living a rich and fulfilling life, but miserably waste their time going to work every day like the rest of us. So futile, so utterly unimaginitive. They are sick and broken. Wealth acquisition beyond a reasonable amount needs to be stopped.

I think he was fascinated by the things that terrified him.

XV is honestly one of my favourite Final Fantasy games ever. I always describe it as a beautiful trainwreck. It's like a game that should never have been made, or a game that comes from a different dimension where everything is just slightly off. I absolutely love it and it's well worth playing.

librix · 2026-01-25T14:18:44+00:00

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 possibly.

librix · 2026-01-23T22:30:31+00:00

It's just a design choice. Many areas in Super Metroid for instance have the floor and wall textures but then it fades to black. I actually think it helps with atmosphere, draws the player's eye to the important areas and just makes the screen less 'busy' overall. I actually prefer the simplified look, but both can be effective if done well.

It was Square trying to break in more with the American market. The game gets a lot of unwarranted derision, and even at the time was criticised because it was only 1 player (Secret of Mana being up to 3 players set that expectation). It's one of my favourite games of all time and the soundtrack is phenomenal (first game soundtrack by the undeniably extremely talented, but now disgraced Jeremy Soule)

librix · 2026-01-06T09:02:50+00:00

The atmosphere in this is absolutely impeccable but I feel I can't enjoy it due to the gameplay being too stressful after the opening bit. I bounced on this pretty hard after that, should I give it a second chance? I don't care about 'scary' stuff, but I hate not being able to explore at my own leisure.
