It's trash as an idea generator.

The only useful thing I've gotten out of a (text) AI is asking it to guess functions of keyword mechanics in games. Like I was designing personality traits for AI leaders in a strategy game, and had a dozen bad candidates for "over produces defenses." So I told ChatGPT to try to guess the meanings of bunkerist, hoxhaist, prepper, turtle, protectionist, survivalist, isolationist, guardian. Which did narrow it down to bunkerist, turtle, and protectionist (note that this is literally wrong in the case of protectionist). Normally I'd try to poll a bunch of random people for this sort of thing, and try to avoid anyone who's trying to be clever. So it did save some work there.

It won't come up with anything useful going the other way around though ("list some possible names for traits of AI leaders in a strategy game"). Like I said, it doesn't work as an idea generator.

I guess in general it's probably useful if you're in a situation where you need to make sure your writing is very very clear. If ChatGPT can correctly summarize what you wrote, it's probably safe for people who are distracted or bad at reading or whatever.

This is great, love me some esolangs.

Weird the subtitles insist on calling brainfuck brainfog though.

Hey this is really cool.

I'm sure people will use it to make politicians say misleading things or whatever.

But I'm excited about people being able to have animated advisor portraits in indie games.

Wait you have a gaming discord?

Congrats on the launch!

Amazing

whoops late response lol

I'm surprisingly good at it, given the amount of practice I've put in so far. But I need to really buckle down and do daily practice if I want to get properly good.

Come to me for what? ? ?

If it's advice on how to do 3D modelling, the answer is:

• BlenderGuru donut tutorial

• Same guy UV unwrapping (not as good as the donut tutorial but it's simple)

• Some other guy on rigging

I don't know what that is!

Thanks!

Yeah that's Blender.

One of my permanent backlog game ideas is a game titled Horse Horse Horse Horse Horse where you're a horse and you press asdf asdf asdf asdf to run right, and fdsa fdsa fdsa fdsa to run left.

This is the level you unlock by 100%ing the game (all seeds, 10-coins, and flagpole tops)

I don't know about the larger trends, but Mario games have always had a lot of them. You fall down a pit and you're dead.

Also it's pretty typical for modern Mario games to have a nice normal difficulty curve, and then if you 100% it you get a final challenge that's just completely outside the bounds of the rest of the game's difficulty. This one was just even nastier than the last several incarnations. I'm not sure what the thinking behind these is, unless it really is "yeah we know you're playing Kaizo hacks."

I forgot about the rotating fire bars because it wasn't in the final checkpoint, and I did each checkpoint on a different session.

Non-binary robots rebelling against the nature of their birth.

I don't really know how Nabbit works, but aren't most of the rooms instant death pits anyway?

I love their choice of fake studio name.

But what if my favorite Sonic game is Sanicball?

Is this another viral marketing campaign for Balenciaga?
