Quoting: syylkDunno, but once you have DP or USB-C, why you'd want HDMI? Legacy? Enlighten me, LinuxHiveMind!

Some people have existing hardware with HDMI input but no DP or USB-C, and very much would like to use it instead of trashing a thousand-dollar equipment because of "cable protocol forum is angry at this one dev".

Kinda the same reason people that moved to linux and uses nvidia hardware won't throw away their working card to get an AMD just because "it's the good way to do things".

Quoting: dpanterBan AI-generated everything. Is it optimal? No, but practical and likely the only reasonable option if Godot wants to remain open to new contributors. These AI slop "contributions" aren't contributing to anything positive.

I'm tempted to agree, but this is both impractical and would throw the small percentage of valid cases.

A better approach would to be require all PR to be hand-reviewed *before* submission, and vetted by a human. It's equally impractical, but if we look at the cURL project as an example, it is possible for competent devs to use LLM and similar as tools to raise appropriate issues, fixes, and formulate them properly. Key element is, a human used a tool vs. a tool used a human.

Ah.

I really want that to be good, but between the footnote, the reviews, and the "blizzard-ness" of things, I'm really wary of it. I have no problem with the price, but given everything else, it feels like a trap.

Some people have had nightmares because of these games, but it's nice to see them being available on modern systems. There's never enough retro stuff.

Despite the game being teased for like, ever, I still have no idea what's in it aside from cat and that it comes from Edmund McMillen.

It's nice to hear it's coming along though. I'm definitely curious about anything he decides to put out.

I'm curious what they're gonna do with this. The obvious would be a simple update to keep it running fine on modern systems, but I doubt this would lead to incompatible saves…

Square is one of these company that do some stuff good, some stuff bad. I really hope this one is the former.

And, although very unlikely, if this was a remaster, I'd be se happy.

The endgame of people putting AI everywhere actual creation could have occurred will always be, to me, "why would I give you money when I can just generate it myself". Even for this; people were already wary of GoG, and although I really really want to support their initiative to archive old games and keep them available, I can't really put money in a structure that's likely to support infamous tech. Promises of "doing the right thing" be damned.

If someone felt they needed an image to describe their sale, they should have put some effort into it. Just look at how Steam handled this. People are still attached to a random sales mascot character way after it ended. If you can't be bothered to make something, as other pointed out, a collage of game art or a plain text message will do the job just fine. And won't attract the ire of people that are seriously getting tired of this shit.

If the goal is to pander to people that absolutely *crave* AI slop content, then, sorry to burst GoG's bubble, but these people don't care where it's from or what it is. That's not a great goal to run after.

As I see it, it's either "harmless" but normalizing such abuse of the tech, or downright disrespectful to people that wanted to support GoG.

Bad move.

It's not my thing, but I wonder the horror of a 64 players all-worlds online Banjo & Kazooie hide and seek mode.

Is that a new info box at the bottom of posts? Nice.

I was under the impression we already had a PC port of Super Mario 64.

Anyway, good news.
