No-no, it’s only AI, and you harass not someone who produces it, but who uses it. That’s how it works

No wonder they burn out more and more. Nobody wants to contribute and help, but everyone is quick to criticise

Because current AI products attract huge investments and do not pay off at all. Basically they companies have unlimited money, and spend them on building huge data centres and facilities. But as soon as finding will run out, they have to moderate appetites. Many companies will flop and go bankrupt or just switch to something else. Cheap and local LLMs with high efficiency/cost rate should be dominant, as they won’t need so much infrastructure to support. Kinda similar was during dotcom bubble, but average person didn’t knew and care about ecology and ethics so much as nowadays.

That’s why I hate when “morally impeccable” people find an easy target, make it a scapegoat, and bully them online.

This guy is maintaining that huge project for an eternity in his free time, but entitled hypocrits like you have audacity to call him an asshole. No one needs your recommendations. Even if you have experience to maintain and develop a project for 16 years and your brain is capable to keep everything in the context, and type hundreds of lines manually for the most tedious tasks—good for you, but there are different people with different brains. AI helpers with proper tooling is a good instrument in hands of a good engineer. They are basically better autocomplete and searching tools, and they are amazing ‘rubber duck’ companions making coding process psychologically easier if you stressed, anxious, or depressed, but need the job to be done. If you think what you’re doing, you won’t produce slop whatever instrument you use, if not—you’ll write slop without AI.

When bubble pops soon, AI have to become sustainable economically and ecologically. Same happened during the dotcom bubble.

So, either help the project, or leave opensource devs alone

Yeah, i remember that Fiewatch game. Didn’t play, but watching it was so exciting. The perfect game for me is the one that makes you cry. And the genre doesn’t matter. I love Disco Elysium, Dark Souls series, Hollow Knight dilogy, Celeste for many emotional moments they brought. And I felt like cracking a puzle in Blue Prince and unlocking a whole new area is less rewarding than just a dialogue from the game I like.

And yeah, i already tried Tunic, and actually dropped it, so you are right

I spent several days there, but didn’t find story or characters engaging. Aesthetics and visual design didn’t touch me as well. And knda same feeling I get from Blue Prince. The game feels very cool on intellectual level, but there’s not enough emotional engagement

Elden Ring: Nightreign is successful so far. But it’s quite different from default live-service games, since a lot of content is available in single-player mode too.

You are wrong, all action games doesn’t have a plot actually. You kill enemies, then you kill bosses, then you kill the final boss. Let’s leak everything and don’t care

After switching to Linux I felt so disappointed finding out they stopped Linux support
