  • Okay, both of y’all are wrong on this one.

    “Ai firms”

    Procedural generation isn’t related to generative AI, as stated in the description. Daggerfall, released in 1996, used procedural generation to generate it’s dungeons and world map. It has continued to be used since, in games such as No Mans Sky, Minecraft, Valheim, and many more.

    “Not the developers and employees whose “man hours” they’re “reducing””

    I’m not even sure why this would be a bad thing given that developers are overworked, unless you’re thinking they’re going to use this technology to replace developers, but that isn’t happening. It streamlines the creation process so that developers aren’t creating literally every blade of grass or bush manually. For example if you created a patch of grass X size, the generation will automatically add some flowers or some such. If anything, this probably gives developers MORE work, because now that this process is streamlined, they’ll be expected to do even more. Hope this clears things up, procedural generation is a good tool when used correctly!#









  • Im ngl, I feel like its posts like these that make people dislike Linux users. Expecting every game that you own to run perfectly isn’t some insane requirement, its totally reasonable lol. I get that its kinda frustrating people won’t ever switch, but lets be real, the only way Linux is actually going to gain new users is by having it come pre-installed on devices. Look at the increased Linux use because it’s the default OS on the steamdeck. It just needs to be the default on more devices, and be solid enough that people don’t even notice they’re not on Windows. The amount of people who will actually go out of there way to switch their OS is so negligible it may as well not even count. So who cares about these people who will never switch, because they probably won’t matter much in the end anyway.

    –And I say this as someone who has been on Linux full time for a little over a year now.
