askgaming@piefed.social•What do you think about using generative AI in game development? Beyond just the art and music, I'm talking about stuff like prototyping, writing dialogue, coding, and even personalised content for plEnglish
3·7 days agoAs long as the end result is something worth poking at and not just another generic gacha rpg or generic fps or another generic puzzle game, I’m fine with it.

81·11 days agoCars were heavier in the 1970s and before. The fuel crisis put everyone on a diet. A good study would reveal the actual cause of this, but I suspect it is the SUV boom - they’re tall, boxy, and have very poor visibility rhese days.

PayPal Pay In 4, Paypal 12 months (sometimes), Amazon Affirm, all no interest. Unless you miss the payment. Then bend over for it. Interests rates vary from 8 percent to 32 percent retroactive, depending on who you get it through. I’ve used BNPL several times, but always made sure I can afford the payment in the monthly budget, and only when it is zero interest.
In addition, I have the rule of “only one active BNPL at a time”.
