Oh, so this is an actual recall and not just a software update.

> It’s the first open world "like" modern text adventure written entirely by a single human being

This rings false

I don’t, but they’ve stopped selling their software enter being bought by Canva.

I’m 43. About six months ago I sat down and watched an hour of skibidi toilet.

I get why it’s popular. I didn’t enjoy myself but I completely get why kids soaked in memes might love it.

Which freedom does that violate?

With Affinity (likely) switching to a subscription model, I wouldn't hold out hope they're avoiding enshitification.

Yes, but TikTok’s ownership has changed.

I have a very big hobby code project I’ve been working on for years.

AI has not made me much more productive at work.

I can only work on my hobby project when I’m tired after the kids go to bed. AI has made me 3x productive there because reviewing code is easier than architecting. I can sense if it’s bad, I have good tests, the requests are pretty manageable (make a new crud page for this DTO using app conventions).

But at work where I’m fresh and tackling hard problems that are 50% business political will? If anything it slows me down.

“It’s not a problem for me so I struggle to see why it’s a problem for anybody else”.

The lack of empathy throughout your comments here is staggering.

I’m a fantastic baker. I can bake a much better cake than my grandma ever could, but I can’t bake the cake I had in my childhood without a box. “Just but two” is nonsense dumb advice.

I just want Discord but a forum. I would pay good money to that

Saying this is clearly superior means you don’t keep your lists sorted. A sorted list is as likely to add something to the beginning as the end, where this solution has the same problem.

But do you call that latter thing you do “an em-dash”? Do you tell a peer “You should put an em-dash here” when what you mean is a “space en-dash space”?

This person understands the future of microwaves.

And yet for certain communities - like TTRPGs - it not only worked incredibly well but were still unlocking the effects of its loss.

I have found Skull to be a superior form of poker for people who want the game without the chip evaluation, and it teaches the same skills.

They weren’t talking about Bluey, they were talking about a writing technique

Is this supposed to be unreadable raw code or is the site overloaded?

See the note about the one mile runs.

I think this might be the saddest take I’ve ever seen on hacker news.

Nah, it’s a problem. Most other RPGs don’t have this effect because their rules are internally consistent.

D&D 5th Edition is a hodge-podge of sacred cows, marketing-based nostalgia, design cowardliness, and compromise.

Other games don’t get house ruled as much because they’re better games.

D&D 5th is the JavaScript of role playing: it’s the most widespread and in a perfect world everybody would use something else.

Supreme Leader

Why must a human look outside themselves to determine what is right?

I’m curious about your vernacular/cadence.

You’ve now been informed by an immigration lawyer that that is not an honest answer, so were you to answer “yes” you’d be demonstrating you’re either willfully ignorant or dishonest.

So in the early 2000s we had hotornot.com and other crowdsourced photo rating websites; now we can just let an AI make us feel miserable?

That’s not a contradiction, you just don’t want to live in a city with kids. Lots of people do.

Look, make the companies offering AI therapy carry medical malpractice insurance at the same risk as human therapists. If they tell someone to go off their meds, let a jury see those transcripts and see if the company still thinks that’s profitable and feasible.

One thing the TTRPG community lacks is a strong sense of history. This loss will be felt.

This post uses the term “automation gap”, in quotes, in its title and then never uses it in the body. About to go Google what it means but that’s mildly annoying and/or bad writing.
