Everyone at my job keeps producing these AI slop summary and design documents and thanks I always wanted to read something you didn't even type that has no discernible content.

Yeah and having an expansive universe with like three languages and three races of intelligent creatures, none of which seem to have any personalities just left it feeling shallow.

There's no storyline in even the main story. It feels like a vast and lonely universe. I think procedural world generation has largely the same problem as generative AI: infinite slight varieties of responses, all of which are as bland as a HR seminar.

I've come to realize over time that I would prefer a completely linear story to games on the other extreme end.

What you're suggesting sounds very interesting though, linear and more handcrafted content paired with procedural content to pad in the margins. Keep playing forever if you want to, but feel a sense of story and accomplishment in the main storyline.

Edit: that's probably why the expeditions feel more worth playing... You bump into people because you're all playing on the same planets, and the star systems you're playing through are at least somewhat curated.

It's one of the many toxic byproducts of "journalism" as a for profit industry.

OP is from a country full of models.

I was trying to do a return on Amazon today and I had to use my computer because for some reason my phone browser kept getting it to go into some AI workflow / chat thing that didn't work at all. It just loaded forever and did nothing.

SLAM! Da duh duh, da duh duh, let the boys be boys

If they're are covered, why or how are they out of pocket?

Canned green beans are disgusting. The frozen or fresh versions are like a completely different thing in both taste and texture.

Any item he sees in the news that doesn't involve him, he's like "but how can I make this about me, which is what everything should be about?".

A country of 330+ million reduced down to one main character.

you want to get eat to bite?

"its actual journalism"

What the fuck would Mark Cuban know about creating art?

People let these business ghouls way the fuck out of their lane.
