Quoting: Eike

Quoting: kokoko3kSomething puzzles me.

...because some time ago, when I expressed my concerns about the extensive and almost exclusive use of game engines like Unity and Unreal, the most frequent response was that it was fine because it allowed anyone, even those who didn’t know how to program, to develop games.
The engine takes care of the programming to a certain extent, you add the graphics and audio, and everyone is happy.

Now, the extensive use of AI for image generation seems to be perceived differently, but the principle remains the same: you handle the programming and audio while paying relatively little attention to the graphical aspect, yet... not everyone is happy.

I want to spend my time with something a human has made. I want to somehow "interact" with that human (these humans). I want to consume art, and I don't feel a generation tool can produce something that has earned the term "art" - even if I probably cannot tell the difference in many cases! -, because it cannot "talk" to me about life.

Yes, you could create art with help of AI probably. I'd always search for the mistakes AI makes, spoiling the fun.

BTW, I just played Stray. Wow.

Don't get me wrong,
I don't like it either, and I totally agree with you.
I also think that programming itself is an art as well; I spend time and have a lot of fun just watching demos from scene.org or browsing shadertoy, so the more the use of a single game engine, the less the fun for me.
There is also the "issue" that most games made with the same engine has a fingerprint probably due to the reuse of stock shaders (mainly Unreal).

I've have to admit that procedurally generated levels put myself on the borderline :)

The game engine does not make the game for you.

Sure, I never stated it does.

Thank you all for the answers.

But although I agree with most of them, I still doubt this hype of "anti AI" is tied to those deep roots.

If only Nvidia had checked before choosing "Slang" as the name...

What a mess.

Quoting: EhvisBecause the code that you use was written by the company that you licensed the engine from. With AI it is usually unclear what it's from and who is the rightful owner to the source material. Stores are simply attempting to cover their responsibility.

That covers the stores, not people pointing their fingers on this but not that.

I was tempted for Christmas, but I mostly play retro games, so in the end i went for the RP5, more portable, oled screen, but 1080p, which is the minimum to enjoy CRT shaders without moire.

I really hope this is related.

Where doitsujin answered:

QuoteThis is not a bug, DXVK does not free once allocated memory blocks by design since doing so would require defragmentation, and is generally not very useful if the game needs more VRAM once again.

Not owning a deck, I'd like someone to explain me why/how "ordinary hubs" slow down the handheld gaming.

A good soundtrack is 50% of the fun for me.
