According to Highguard developers making even more public letters, the team had weak salaries but signed up for royalties instead. And all of them still blame players for not giving them a chance to "break the millennials financial curse".

There's a very similar issue with such developers, crypto bros, and AI enthusiasts: they all completely misunderstand the idea of what things are generally entertaining or why people play games.

And I don't think they are aliens, but rather stuck in the loop of lies. A toxic positivity is even more dangerous than corporate greed.

I'd say that a bad tutorial is worse than no tutorial at all. Dozens of times I dropped games because the tutorial was exceptionally bad.

Just checking my to-do list for this week

Most of this "play" time was screen capture and video conversion (OBS and Movavi). One day I'll take some rest...

The new STYX system requirements. Getting my RX 590 out of the storage!

Ubisoft is raising the team of AI sloperators: the goal is to "find where AI is the most usable in the whole pipeline" (LN).

And I feel a bit of a pain here: Ubisoft were among first who built neural networks over a decade ago. They were used to bake cloth physics (and run it 1000 times faster), merge animations (and make characters switch between them smoother in a changing environment). In general they were pioneers in a very good use cases of what now can be called AI.

And now they are looking to use it in Data, Programing, Game and Narrative Design, and more. Which is not what players want. They do not want games be written by AI, ok?
