For sure, I think the thing is that when the sorts of extrinsic constraints make the game less fun for you, you gotta re-evaluate why you're doing them. Asking me to not do X because there is something interesting to be learned by the restriction is cool. If it stops being fun, then just don't?

Gamers have never been alright

There's a type of guy who thinks "if you heard my argument you would agree with me, so disagreeing with me means you weren't listening", and it happens shockingly often. I've fallen for it enough times. Some people can't handle that you just don't agree with them. The problem has to be with you.

People making fun of the fash rebrand of AI to SI aren't wrong, but I'm over here cheering for the hopeful SEO correction to allow me to go back to researching AI/ML without all the genAI slop getting in the way.

I really can't get past the idea that if I had unlimited time to make my dream game, I think I'd ultimately end up just remaking Might & Magic VIII. It really is kinda just the perfect video game in so many ways.

The reason we have all these Claude-built recomp/decomp projects is because the AI dorks couldn't figure out how to shoehorn LLMs into games that were made 20 years ago so they all got together and had their agents do a little brainstorming and came up with a strategy to ruin yet another good thing.
