To be fair to the people protesting this isn’t what they’re objecting to. They don’t like tools which were built on theft, which all the major LLMs were. That’s the core issue, along with the fear that artists will be devalued and replaced because of them.

To be fair to obsidian the distribution choices have nothing to do with the people who make the game part. You can have great devs with a greedy publisher.

Also don’t drink, can confirm.

Thanks!

That’s good to know, though I wouldn’t know how to do the initial setup either. 😅

Good to know!

To be honest that was very over my head, but maybe I’ll do some research on it sometime. I don’t do self hosting so I would be looking for things that don’t need that to work.

Thanks!

Would love to hear about some you like!

Don’t get me wrong, I think its very weird too. I’ve been curious how it actually happens, though.

Does anyone in the industry know how/if that stuff needs approval from someone? Like does the family estate OK it or something?

They kept saying gas giants in the trailer and I was like “are you not going to show them?”

Finally realized the rocky worlds they were walking on were the “gas” giants. I’m sure they’re cool but they just looked like extra-stormy planets.

I agree. At the very least they say “this many people liked what you said or posted enough to click this button”, and that is far from meaningless.

Glad you had that last paragraph, because inflationary justifications are just hand waving when people’s income isn’t keeping pace. It’s not based in reality.

Humans are space orks. We like da fighty tings.

Yeah it suddenly made sense why apps seem to always have new updates even when it’s something super basic that doesn’t need more features.

This isn’t an answer to your main question, but I recently learned that if you don’t release updates at your app for a couple years google deletes your app from the store (and your developer account if you only had one app). That’s a reason why some old apps disappear.

Things like apkmirror are doing god’s work as far as I’m concerned. No problems with them at all.

I was really shocked at the speed of it. Very surreal experience.
