  • Well yeah, Perl is write-only. Larry Wall asked the monkey's paw for a language that works on the first try. What's onscreen are your raw brain patterns.

    Thank god it runs like crap. Optimized C isn't pretty, but any project that compiles proves someone looked at it more than once.

  • It's easy to mock the Xbox brand like it lost a fair fight and is on its last legs.

    But this is Sony acknowledging that consoles don't matter anymore. The war is over. Who won is irrelevant. There's just color-coded interchangeable platforms now, like releasing on both Steam and EGS. This was always the purpose of the Xbox project, from back before DirectX had a proper name... though admittedly Microsoft assumed they'd still control the PC gaming market.

    Whoops.

  • ... right, and the reason nobody's done that, despite the aggressive availability of local models, is that even a few static assets lead to shrill backlash. Like this article. My man is frothing at the mouth because a complex systemic city-builder used a program to draw the "you can't cut back on funding!" guy.

    We can assume the same people would screech that any game with generative dialog was "written by AI." Like a text parser being able to respond to insults means the whole plot came from a ten-word prompt. It's not a rational environment for selling studios on a multi-million-dollar investment.

  • Huh, it's almost like this new tool is fine for placeholder art, and placeholders can be good enough to ship.

    Did you know The Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction" was supposed to have a brass section? That driving riff with the fuzzbox guitar was a placeholder. They released it as-is, the song hit #1, and distortion became mainstream. At what point do we stop lamenting all the horn players who were robbed?
