The emulated version/AI-recompilation needs high-end hardware to run and even then, it runs like crap in most areas and is full of glitches. So it’s not really “the same pixels”.

Personally, I only find jailbreaking consoles worthwhile later in their lifecycle. Otherwise I might be locked out of some of the games releasing for later firmware versions.

I’m on an AMD GPU too, but Nvidia dropping out of the market would make prices even worse for everyone.

I’m slightly dreading to find out who’ll be the replacement. Huang was at least around when Nvidia was still a consumer-focused company. Wouldn’t be surprised if the new CEO is even more all-in on datacenters and may decide to exit the consumer GPU business altogether.

True, just tried it and it’s the same for all the book bundles I bought. Insane of them to push something so broken and untested.

When it comes to good deals, I guess it depends on what you’re looking for. Several of the recent Choice bundles had a few games I was interested in for a price that was below their historic low. They also had some really great e-book bundles recently where you basically got all the books from several well-known sci-fi authors for about 20€. So Humble deciding to enshittify completely does sting for me.

The bundles page also doesn’t show Humble Choice bundles though, so those keys are buried somewhere in the neverending list. I have to click past 9 pages just to get past the latest bundle I bought (Mapmaking Bundle).

Would be tempting, but I don’t want to lose access to my unredeemed keys and DRM-free items. Not that I can even find those anymore, with the redesign being as shit as it is…

It’s downright unusable. Had to pass multiple Cloudflare captchas to log in, but no 2-factor. The library only shows 5 items at a time now, so it’s 500 pages long for me, which I can’t even sort to only show unredeemed items. Order history just shows order numbers and I have to click on each item to see what I actually ordered. UI elements are randomly strewn about, with no coherent design. WTF Humble.

The problem is that he’s attempting to create a military loyal to MAGA. A military that won’t object if Trump decides to use a nuke. A military that can be used to stage a coup if necessary. I don’t think we should root for that.

Nah, I didn’t imply anything of the sort. First up, I was never talking about “people who say they hate AI”, but game developers. Second, I never said or implied that they would be “embarassed”. They don’t disclose it because there’s no benefit to disclosing it, as should be very apparent here.

Let me spell it out as clear as possible: The vast majority of commercial game developers use AI in some ways. Most don’t vibecode, but using it for the kinds of things that House House did is ubiquitous. Modern development tools like Visual Studio use it in ways where you might not even realise that an LLM is behind it.

You don’t have to take my word for it: Look at the sites that were essential resources to get help with bugs before LLMs were around, like StackOverflow. Its usage has declined by over 99% since 2020. Unless you know of another place where people now ask all their development questions, I think we can both take a pretty educated guess of where they went.

I think the example cases they’ve provided are pretty good example of where an LLM can actually be useful. For example, if you need to find and fix a bug in third-party code, it can be an absolute pain, as just getting a basic understanding of an unknown codebase by yourself could take days or weeks. An LLM can analyze the code in seconds and if not fix the bug, at the very least point out locations where to look for it. It’s not necessarily about telling the LLM to overcome the technical challenge by itself, but it can definitely assist in it.

I guess so, but I’m not sure where you’ve read it because I sure haven’t written it.

No, I’m saying things I know to be true, because developing 3D multiuser apps in game engines is a large part of my job (and has been since well before AI). I have spent thousands of hours using Unity Netcode, Photon, Mirror and Unreal Networking.

You can throw a couple GameObjects into a scene and synchronize them pretty quickly, but that does not a multiplayer game make. Every single script you write will be more complex when you need to keep multiplayer in mind and testing anything you’ve written becomes much more involved. This is especially true for a large Open World like Big Walk’s.

It’s really not. A multiplayer open-world game is inherently complex to develop, even with modern engines.

Developers House House told Aftermath via email that “LLMs were used sparingly by House House to help work through difficult technical challenges and bugs”, and that they “estimate that well under 0.1% of Big Walk’s code had anything to do with this usage”.

Meh, if that were enough to exclude a game from GotY awards, you’d end up with a very short list of mostly unknown games, half of which probably did use LLMs for those sorts of tasks and are just lying about it.

And honestly, if AI-debugging can replace having to spend days of horrible crunchtime fixing those bugs, I’m all for it! That’s what AI should do, making people’s lives easier and not replacing their creativity.

Looks like another vibe-coded mod that will fizzle out after showing off what they (or Claude, rather) can do and being unable to properly optimize it.

If you don’t intend to use it for any actual purpose, don’t use it. Sending it pointless prompts is the worst thing you can do. You’ll drive up demand for AI/datacenters, waste resources and won’t even get any benefits from it.

Cool, I’ve been waiting for that for a while. Say what you will about Assassin’s Creed, but those games are always great for a bit of digital tourism to historic places.

I don’t think that that’s a thing on Lemmy. You probably have a better chance of finding old-school forums where that applies.
