The fact that your writing in this response is so different than the post and other lengthy comments makes me wonder if my LLM assumption was correct.

Wrongness is in the eye of the beholder but ENT did not do well with the audiences that UPN needed to sell ads.

What’s up with double-spacing every sentence?

One of the multiple hallmarks of LLM text found in this post/some of OPs comments.

Thank ChatGPT…

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, I was already convinced it was LLM generated and I didn’t even notice that bit. The fact that their response to you is completely different seals it.

I wish this was a real discussion prompt and not a (probably LLM-assisted) rant disguised as a question because as it reads now it’s just more of this:

If you don’t like something, that’s fine, but getting upset because [new thing] is different than [childhood thing] is not productive.

It’s entirely possible but would require a massive increase in volunteer manpower just to keep up.

Google Keep is my white whale of self hosted apps. The vibe coding aspect gives me pause as I have been burned before but it is too promising to turn down so I’ll give it a shot!

We all are, but it’s going to be a long time and my concern is that it won’t be soon enough. It was convenient that Windows finally crossed the enshittification Rubicon just as Linux was ready for mainstream adoption. But mobile Linux is far, far, behind anything else. Although I do think that immutability and flatpaks are a good foundation.

I just want to say I transitioned over to Dockhand and I’m glad I did! Thanks again for the recommendation!

The article said they were existing publications that had a regular readership before they were replaced with slop

This is depressing, thankfully I have never even heard of any of their listed publications.

This has been true for a few years now, but indie studios have been making far more interesting games than the big studios. Add to that the fact that big AAA projects need to tack on tons and tons of money-making add-ons that degrade the experience in order to justify the cost of a decade of development, and the industry seems to actually be trending towards the artistry and innovation you mentioned.

Honestly I don’t remember ever hearing anyone mention Transistor since it released either. Hades definitely proved that they aren’t one hit wonders.

I am a patient gamer™ to the max but if you’re going to pay a higher price for any game this year, this is the one IMO.

Besides that, my only complaint with this game (and it is minor) is that I just can’t stand the UE5 slop anymore. I think Expedition 33 did possibly the best job I’ve ever seen with engine (the weird, amorphous detailed-but-generic textures didn’t detract as much as they usually do because of whole the painting-like aspect) but with everything else, like gameplay and story as strong as it was I would have preferred anything, even a low-res low-poly look.

I dunno, I think it was half as cohesive.

Gritty, even!

What are you paying for 800gb?
