That’s kinda fallacious as an argument. AI cannot create good code, it CAN be used to create code, but requires.expert to fix the tons of mistakes and simply bad coding solutions it comes up with. If you don’t have the skills it’s better to use a tool made to help you with that with its limitations (rpg maker in your example) rather than use a tool made to aid already expert users (that even they say it actually creates more work for them lol). I write code myself and LLMs simply suck at coding. They can create “art” but it’s all the same and you can spot it on their steam page when they do. Honestly, I’m not even angry at them for thinking the same way as you do: it’s just that those coding solutions are advertised as such, and people are simply ignoring the expert in the field that tell them they can’t actually do that. If you try that road you will either create something that doesn’t work or something that will put its users at risk (by creating trojan backdoors in theor system or sharing sensitive information) and that’s something I can’t simply condone.

I mean, top of the line is an overstatement. It’s the quantities and the supply chain behind it that make it worth it, from a technological point of view they are good at best.

I love that this is exactly what he said, but you say that you are with his parents on this.

Sorry, I wasn’t clear enough since I stated it at the end of the message instead of the beginning. I agree with basically everything you said, except using the ukranian war support as an example of the production capabilities of the EU industry.

Sorry if it came out as if I wanted to attack you on points you agreed upon, I just used you improperly as a way to post those points out more clearly for others to see.

It’s not entirely correct to use the ukranian war as an example of EU industries not being able to supply enough: the US took the lead there an EU expected support to last so they didn’t even make the effort. Most of our industries SELL abroad an ukraine was not needing our support since the US was supposed to cover for it.

Granted the industry is fragmented and not really cohesive, so it would lack in the quantity, but I was merely referring to quality as in we are able to create top of the line weapons and systems that are the best of the world (exluding stealth fighter jets).

If the EU focuses in one direction and stops selling all around… And seeing how it is being basically forced to do so.

This was more of an answer to the guys saying “EU just buys US weapons because those are the best!” Rather than a direct answer to you, but I’d rather answer to someone capable of reasoning…

I love reading about people not knowing the EU military industry writing about how it’s somehow weak. Newsflash: it’s not. We don’t talk or write about it 'cause it’s sensitive data. We protect sensitive data. Our armies may not be strong, but our military industry is.

That was so high level it went past most of them. Take my upvote

I agree with you, also I literally said the same: quantity is literally US strength and EU’s weakness. EU countries are mostly selling their weapons rather than use it. Btw I’m not from france and the industry in my country is as developed as the french one if not more. Kinda happy about the fact you don’t know abouf it though: military info should not be well known or it could become a liability lol

Perfectly reasonable, but at the same time a little naive. Let’s shift the focus on your future customers. What you say is true: artists are expensive and having proper art for your work can be costly. I mean, it’s not entirely true cause young artists are not that expensive but you want very good art for your game and I can understand that.

Now, you may use gen AI to get all your art and voices. Are you sure your customers wanted that? Are you sure they wanna see all those “something’s off” portraits and that will be the deciding factor for your game? If your game is good and fun even crappy art will sell it (look at touhou). Isn’t it better to work on the actual game with placeholder art and look for a young artist when you have the finished product instead of wasting your time fiddling with settings and prompts on a genAI?

I mean, you do you. I’m not against AI as a tool, but don’t assume people will like your game more if you plaster it with AI art. It’s like coloring your sketch with stickers. The stickers may be good quality, but it will still look like a messy puzzle…

As a european working in the weapon industry, I love reading american people thinking we make no weapons or the weapons we make are worse. We even sold some ships to the US lol. American military is the best, but not necesarily for quality, but for the sheer amount (aka quantity) coming from how much money you put in there. And a lot of money is spent buying other systems…

Me, a male reading mostly manhwa of the romance fantasy genre where 99% of it have female protagonists: yeah, this is not talking about me. This kind of discussions are more about creating conflict rather than understanding. If people have time to start fights about the sex of the characters they have no interest in the story itself. Statistics on who is drawn more are kinda useless…

I doubt we will get there. It’s not the same situation. You don’t only get more money and stability, you also get services and better quality of life overall. Imagine you live in italy: pay a lot of taxes and have broken roads, trash everywhere, public transportation with high record absenteism so basically working half the time but for some reasons record high number of politicians and their salary is also record high. Meanwhile if you want to do research/teach you get the lowest wages in the EU, you look for jobs and everyone wants to hire you off the books, government keeps cutting healtcare/pensions… Especially if you learned another language you yend to run as far away from here, you may get up to 5 times your salary in italy and do what you actually wanna work on, and live better too. You may have to pay more taxes, but you’ll be able to afford it and get something in return too. Funny enough you could even have vacations in your own country since you’ll now be able to afford it lol

I mean, I travel for work a lot and have to stay weeks in hotels. And weeks means weekends, so yeah I can relate. There’s a lot of people I meet around the world that travel like me and wouldn’t be able to afford those same hotels for a vacation… like me lol

I knew you were italian as soon as I read that lol. Basically my uni life too

Either that or a space marine

I mean, the US EV market. Pretty big sure, but not the “entire”

Nobody said you can’t, just know that whatever you write in a public space will be read by everyone. Being aggressive by namecalling and taunting will make you look bad and whatever you preach will look bad to everyone. Sorry for being so annoying about it, just wanted to share this thought with you.

When you HAVE to use it at work and you have NO choice in the matter it’s really irritating seeing all these posts berating you instead of the company itself. Additionally most of the time most of these features come automatically disabled if you leave in the EU like me, cause of, you know, GDPR. So yes, they need to make it an optional feature because fines based on revenue are no joke. That said you are not gonna convince people by berating them with clown emojis, you’ll only prove that whatever you are advocating for is supported by a toxic community. But you do you…

Like in every language terms evolve and it’s basically outside of personal preferences. Original definitions and where the term came from are basically optional info.

This are terms that are used for one main purpose: categorize so it’s easier to search that term instead of “games like x”. And for that purpose, roguelike as in “no progression between runs” and roguelite as in “some unlockable stuff” works wonders.

I mean, the post clearly states “was”. So even without commenting on the accuracy of your post I can clearly see you missed the point
