Even the trailer itself feels like low effort AI slop

I'll go further than that: Even the preview image of the trailer looks like low effort AI slop.

If you've lived a for a few centuries, then DS9 might seem recent. Maybe DrMcCoy is a vampire…‽

The first part was beautiful as well, but the map system and the “make the game easier for players that find the game easy and make it harder for players that find the game hard” system they implemented was not fun without mods.

I've always expected that they would double down on the issues in a sequel since they refused to implement an easier difficulty level (e.g. no money loss on death, slightly more damage, a health bar for bosses and mapping without having to buy the map for a new area).

I've seen some of the drama over the years (well decades), and that unfinished sentence seems like a fitting end to the latest events. I'm sure that the other developers' reactions can only look harsh from the outside.

I want to highlight Kinsie's comment on GitHub as I think it is very accurate:

The recent progress under the more collaborative, team-based practices of late has been magnificent. It'd be a pity to see that get undermined.

Good improvement. Very nice. I remember being annoyed discovering that I could have saved some money by using a different bundle after I bought a game.

I really got to try this one, but I've still got a cold, so I'm not big on reflexes at the moment.

Regarding Chat Control. The recent attempt to introduce it EU wide by von der Leyen (she already tried this several times on the German level which violates the constitution with the “think of the children” hammer) has been postponed.

That sounds really tone deaf. I'm so tired of all the AI slop that is thrown into my face every time I go onto a big site, e.g. Youtube. The text that is translated very badly is one thing – it makes searching a lot harder than it should be, but the automatic voice translation that is activated for every video by default until I manually switch away is so incredibly bad. Jimmy Kimmel introducing Josh Johnson (“you know him from the Daily Show and his Youtube channel“) gets translated into “you already know it…” and “lift the cloche” on a food channel is turned into “shift into the next gear”. Amazon's translations aren't better if their store is supposed to be a positive example.

I'm going to keep as far away as possible from that game. Anyhow – how can it be “human-built” and “”AI-powered at the same time?

Wow. Now that is a surprise. I've already skipped the previous remaster that was left in a supposedly unfinished state – I don't remember the details, but they claimed that they were not allowed to finish it.

Remember: Every new release is the definitive edition.

I think I got all of those except The Skywalker Saga and Worlds.

The Incredibles definitely works on Steam Deck, but I might have used something from Protontricks.
