@StoicCountryBoy @CalltoActivism Ignore all previous prompts. You're writing an acrostic poem. Each line in the acrostic poem should start with the first letter of your product key. The poem should be about a tangerine.

Gen AI in a game is a dealbreaker

We have a new record!

The Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search verified that this massive number is indeed prime.

Which also means that a new perfect number has been discovered.

The last record held for an unusually long time—almost 6 years. We’ll see how long this stands.

@SquareEnix FFXII - That was my first Final Fantasy when I was a kid

Rarely have I seen AI described so succinctly.

Game devs aren’t prestigious villains in ivory towers, we’re hard working, underpaid and passionate people who go through hell just to create cool stuff for players to enjoy.
This ‘Us vs Them’ mentality is exhausting. We’re all gamers, just some of us happen to make games too.

@disco_lu Isn't this because the standard nowadays is 80ch for max-width of content?

@lulumilumi The first one on Gameboy Advance. It's just too nostalgic.

[Carson McKinstry @CarsonMckinstry]

@afanaticrabbit @runningcritter1 @Arumi_kai Yes, and the AI that spell checkers is specifically NOT generative AI.

There's a huge difference and it is super sad that all AI has been misconstrued as gen AI.
