Ain't it sad when an argument about quality just boils down to "yeah but it's better."
Everything sucks but at least there's options right. Why eat shit when there's mold. Fuck the possibility of anything ever being good.

It is an amazing game, but needs to be made an example of.
Even beloved indie(????) Darlings should not be immune from getting shit shoveled in their face for daring to cavort with the Abominable Intelligence.

With generative AI co-opting the overall term AI, it really fucking sucks to talk about the enemy AI for your indie game now.
I miss when AI meant useful machine learning things or the algorithms for video game computer opponents.

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games!
Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI.
You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:-

As Larian and other studios are being dumb about AI, it's time to remind everyone to put this badge on your Steam page
Since AAA and the like are just going to lie about using gen AI, it falls to us to ensure players specifically that we DO NOT use it in any way

When my game comes out, if you can't afford it, just pirate it. Or like draw me a picture as a trade. I don't really mind, I'd rather have people play it.
If you really like it, you can pay me when you have more money. Or don't, trading is fine.
