I’ve had Kenshi on my wishlist for a long time, and I haven’t pulled the trigger. What’s your favorite part about it? Most of what I know is that it’s punishing and has deep roleplaying opportunities, but I don’t know a lot of the specifics.
Most of the story criticism I’ve heard fall into a handful of categories:
Overall plot seeming convoluted and hard to follow (which is understandable when you throw both time travel and parallel universes into the same story)
Whitewashed portrayal of racism used for story aesthetics
Ending feeling confusing and/or unsatisfying
Certain story moments feeling out of place and/or undermining things that other story moments set up
I haven’t seen much in the way of players expecting/predicting plot twists.

For those who can’t watch right now
The amount of time to build something like this seems like it would offset the amount of effort it would take just to write good character dialogue. AI tools are basically word calculators, which means you have to provide data for the LLM, which means time to produce this data, time to build guardrails, etc. Even in this implementation, they say they had to build guardrails so that they don’t say anything “harmful.”
There are also a number of lawsuits going on that will set a precedent for how training data can be utilized in commercial products. While I expect them to take the side of large corporations with vast resources at the expense of ethics, there’s the possibility that they will do the right thing. This will affect how AI tools wil be used in such contexts.
So is this stock Yuzu without any changes? IIRC the legal issue was something about circumventing copy protection, so would this project be subject to the same issues?
Also, how do I verify that this fork isn’t malware wrapped in emulator code?
“Monado” has no specific meaning and is just a name.
As a Xenoblade fan, I call BS.
But I do expect we’ll see more open source VR solutions and support as adoption increases. They’re still in that phase of expensive luxury goods in most cases - PSVR costs more than a PS5 and also requires one to work, Index is $1000, and I don’t even know where the Apple headset got its pricing.
Most of these also want to lock down their VR as a platform, instead of being ubiquitous hardware like a monitor, and I think lack of standardization is gonna hurt them in the long run by narrowing their audience.
I don’t know if you’re into gaming, but Steam Next Fest has a demo for a claymation adventure game called Harold Halibut that’s pretty awesome
Also Jack and the Cuckoo Clock Heart was great and I don’t hear many other people talk about it
With horror movies, you at least have that layer of knowing it’s not real. Seeing the real horrors of mankind without that to protect you is truly disturbing.
I’d hope some of it gets socked away for any possible time in the future when costs may be greater.
As for the rest of it, I’d like to see it used to grow the platform - marketing to increase user base, more developers, etc. Whatever makes sense.
Maybe we’ll finally get a playable version of Kingdom Hearts
Yeah in my experience it’s largely where you go.
Leftist spaces obv have a lot more Palestinian independence discussion.
There are lots of moderate spaces that allow open discourse that still slant toward the anti-genocide part of the equation.
Then you have places like worldnews that heavily moderate out any pro-Palestine discussion and allow for heavy astroturfing. This is kind of a big one because it’s one of the more popular places to get non-US news. So if you didn’t know how it was being moderated, you might just assume that reddit is just randomly super bloodthirsty or something.
I can’t wait to play more JSRF. Haven’t grabbed Bomb Rush Cyberfunk yet but super happy to see both official and third party solutions for my fix
Nintendo games might be very family friendly, but Nintendo as a company has a well-earned negative reputation in a lot of verticals including esports and community events.
The article doesn’t clarify where the threats were coming from, so it may be for different reasons. And obv it doesn’t justify harassing and threatening random employees though.
I could see them.partnering with phone manufacturers to have it pre-installed like they do with Facebook, TikTok, and all those other apps I have to delete every time I buy a new phone
Did they ever release the updated FSR patch they were aiming to release a while ago? I love content updates like this, but FSR is the main thing I’m hoping to see next.
A good start to fixing the poverty is if companies making obscene amounts of money from their labor start fairly paying people in these areas.
Here’s the source for anybody curious:

Def worth a watch. Tony’s chocolate looks like a good alternative.
Genre mismatch might be a factor? Don’t Starve is not an action-roguelite like Binding of Isaac; it’s a survival-crafting game. They are aiming to be vastly different experiences.
