Quoting: vertigop.s: HL1 first -> HL1 expansions if you really dug the original -> HL2 -> Episodes -> Alyx -> Black Mesa

How do OpFor and Blue Sphere work into this?

The speed gain ends up being negligible, and comes at the price of creativity, originality and doing work I actually enjoy instead of painstakingly fixing the mistakes of an algorithm.

The ultimate promise of AI is freeing us from the drudgery of work we enjoy so we can focus on tedious editing and error-checking at intern rates.

While you think AI will make you more productive, in fact you are less so.

Vibe coding does benefit one class of programmer — contractors brought in to fix what the vibe coders screwed up.

"AI" infested game, uses chatbots for NPC dialogue and other AI for character generation. Some reports of generated character voices.

It is remarkable how Tim Sweeney has managed to completely reinvent himself: from an exceptionally skilled software developer in the late 90s to an Infinite Bad Takes Generator today.

He'd be the easiest element to replace with AI.

Sorry, but does anyone even care about Game Awards really?

I've been calling it The Game Advertisements for years, since that's the vast majority of the presentation anyway. Most of the awards are just a little sidebar saying who won, and then back to the ads! The recognition is so fleeting, you've got to really be paying attention to see it at all.

Plus Imagine Dragons, of course.

The thing I liked least about the original Steam Controller was that g'damn haptic pad. It was never a pleasant experience to use. So I'm a bit concerned when I see two of them and everything else shoved to the top.

So yeah, I'm skeptical.

Mostly Fields of Mistria (Stardew Valley, but fantasy), Melvor Idle (Oldschool Runescape themed spreadsheet), and Hades Revisited on Luanti (terraforming in a world of ash and lava, very much still in development).

May I ask, does anyone around here play this game?

I'm currently trying out Wuzzy's new update on Hades Revisited, and I tend to like Nonsensical Skyblock and the Oneblock mod for Mineclonia.

But then, I've never played Minecraft itself aside from a few minutes toying about with Pocket Edition many years ago.
