It's not really a huge spoiler for anything story-related, it's just a spoiler for a fun little meta-twist. It still sucks that they spoiled it because it was a really fun moment in the game, but it doesn't really spoil the actual story for why that happens.

I have coworkers who don't even play video games that have played Stardew Valley. It's massive

I recently got a Samsung soundbar and was appalled to find it has the EXACT same remote, just with different icons on the buttons. So now not only do I have to deal with this remote, it now has a second identical remote beside it to confuse it with.

Isn't it literally impossible to use genAI only trained on your own images anyway? All you're really doing is using one trained on other images and telling it to only make it look like your stuff. It's impossible for one source to provide enough data to train it up to a usable level from scratch.

Rune Factory has taught me that farmers do chores in the morning and dungeon crawl the rest of the day. I choose to accept this as fact.

I work in BC and built the timesheet system for my company, and was told by my boss in designing it that everyone except him has to be hourly because only management positions are allowed to be on salary. I don't know what exactly defines "management" though, or exactly when that was implemented.

I don't know if it's different in other provinces, but in BC at least only management is allowed to be on salary, to prevent exactly that.

Here you specifically can't work more than 5 hours without taking a minimum 30 minute break, to make sure people aren't working the whole day straight.

Here in Canada not taking a lunch break is illegal for the company. My boss has to get on the case of the sales reps who work through their lunch sometimes because he's the one in trouble for that if we get audited.

Fun fact, most enemy names are unchanged, they were silly English puns in the original Japanese too.

Hey, I worked on that fan translation of 3! I had to leave and they finished without me because I no longer had the free time to work on it from being unemployed, but I did the enemy/item names and descriptions, as well as some of the early dialog.

I can't wait to find out how many games get turned off the second you hit the equivalent of the jump button.

Playing it myself now and I feel a lot of the specific energy of games like Zwei and Nayuta, for sure.

As someone who has been into this series since Sky FC was the only game available in English, it's absolutely worth it, but trying to marathon them or hurry through to catch up is definitely the worst way to do it. These games are meant to be played slowly when you have the time to do so.

And if what they've said about it only being used in the concept art and prototyping is true, they won't be able to take it out. Everything that made it into the game will be handmade, but built on an unchangeable bedrock of GenAI.

They've mentioned they're going to add Beastmaster as a second limited job at some point this expansion. I wonder if that'll be any different or if it'll just end up as a checklist like Blue Mage.

Yeah, "indie" is such a nebulous term, since plenty of games we actually think of as indie games do have publishers. There needs to be some kind of line in the sand like budget or team size to separate small indie devs from larger ones that just aren't owned by a big publisher.

"Ekko no longer occasionally floats away." I don't play 2XKO, but does that mean there was SFxTekken Megaman-style bug with him? That's hilarious.

It's not even self-published. They had a separate publisher, Kepler Interactive. This is Dave the Diver all over again.

It just benefits the CEOs who trick investors into giving them tons of money, and then use that money to give themselves pay raises because "look how good the stocks are doing!" Then when it inevitably craters because it's not actually making money, they can just parachute away like D.B. Cooper.

That's always my favourite way to try and damage control accidental spoilers: just lie. Lie through your teeth.

The price and the simplicity, I'd say. I don't want to have to deal with figuring out PC parts and such, I just want something that works well out of the box. The Steam Deck and now the Machine directly address that for me, so I'm not seeing much reason to buy any future (non-Nintendo) consoles.

As someone who always wanted to do more PC gaming but hates trying to figure out all the parts, the Steam Deck has been a godsend. A more powerful one built specifically for plugging into a monitor is exactly what I want, since I already use the Deck like that for some games.

You can't use AI for QA for the same reason you can't rely purely on test scripts when programming: because it's limited by what you tell it to do. It can't find a mistake you didn't tell it to try and find. That's why human testing can never be replaced, because human minds work in unexpected ways.
