A colleague once “showed off” how impressive Copilot supposedly was. I was like:

1. Please don’t let AI write unit tests. That’s the one spot where I really don’t need bugs done by automation.
2. Don’t you guys use snippets? I do that shit faster with snippets, macros and knowing my way around neovim.

How? How is a game that would have been considered impossible on the hardware “technically a mess”?

Come again?

Are those developed by Nintendo?

Not familiar with Sketchup. is it analternative to sweethome3d?

the working conditions are the same on all working days and across all shifts

Dude has obviously never worked so hard that his energy for the week is drained on friday.

Not claiming that all japanese devs are like Nintendo. Just that there is some variety.

Mariko Kart is graphically quite complex for the hardware it’s running on, so are Mario games (these maps are neither small nor do they have only few entities). There’s a german youtuber who analyses the technical aspects of many nintendo games and given his report: it’s amazing how good these games look on the switch.

Optimization is about turning a computationally hard problem into a light algorithm that doesn’t take much resources.

Yeah. And Nintendo’s first party games look incredible for the hardware they run on.

Have you seen TotK, Mario Odysee, etc.?

… was not developed by Nintendo.

Pokemon games sell, no mattersif the are/run like shit. That’s why Game Freak doesn’t put the effort in.

Good thing the Switch is very limited, I guess?

Those aren’t developed by Nintendo, but by Game Freak. Compare those to Mario Cart, Mario Odysee, Zelda BotW and TotK, etc.

You talk like Nintendo games weren’t optimized to hell and back.

just as much of a shield shoving match while trying to slash your opponents ankle as they were in Europe

lolwut? Try that leg-targetting shit with a HEMA fighter and see how fast you’ll bleed out.

Does Chrono Trigger by now have more “spiritual successors” than System Shock 2?

Remember when it took about 20 years until a game was “remastered”? Peperidge Farm remembers.

You lied to me, Aonuma san! ;_;

Almost as if context matters, huh? 🤷

Not if I think about it for longer than a second. Anti-AI licensing is aimed at corporations. Piracy is done for individuals getting a product.

What’s wrong with trying to prevent companies scrape your data? How is that antithetical to piracy?

I just think the yellow paint is so overdone, it kinda pulls me more out of the experience than other “unrealistic” shimmers. It’s a bit like the uncanny valley effect.
