If it hasn’t already happened, I feel like we’re quickly approaching a breaking point where the average consumer starts pushing back on all this. Even people I know who aren’t terminally online are telling me they’re getting sick of everything being a subscription and just not working.

All good, dude 👍

No need for the tone. I just didn’t remember. My mistake

If I recall correctly, the Prime games have never used the series main theme since every game has its own unique title motif. In some ways I’d argue Theme of Super Metroid IS the series’ main theme at this point.

Ragebait is just the meta these days. Starve it of attention and it will go away

To be honest, I’m kinda glad I got out of that space while I was still relatively small (roughly 10k subs on YT). Even that small amount of attention could feel a little overwhelming.

Sometimes I consider trying again but I don’t know if I want to open myself up to that again.

Rage baiting is the new meta for online engagement nowadays. TBH it always was to some extent but it’s far more rewarded now than it ever was before. Nuance doesn’t get views and engagement.

Humans experience gravity and motion. We experience the transition from A to B so we are better equipped to understand not only how it looks, but how it feels. AI has a much higher barrier to that understanding because it cannot experience it the same way we do.

Of course AI chuds will tell you "oh well the tech keeps getting better and better". While theres some truth to that and it very well might get to that point, it will take a longer time than they think simply because AI, by its very nature, can NOT experience those things.

Even beyond that, in its current form Generative AI simply cannot understand things like weight, gravity, mass, etc. It can understand a multitude of different still states but it struggles trying to create the transition between those states. It's been a consistent problem as the tech has evolved.

It’s starting to feel passive aggressive now. What is EPD9’s problem??

They gotta be trolling at this point

fuck you i was literally going to quote this with this exact image on 12/4 if the game turned out mid

They'll at least stick it out to Fortune's Weave's release. See if they can extend the game's life with more Fodlan milking.

You don't do shit like this unless you're absolutely desperate. I could have maybe seen something like this for the 10th anniversary but we still have a year and change before that.
I'm telling you man, this game's EoS is right around the corner.
And frankly, I can't wait.
