    AI/LLMs DLSS 5 will be the worst thing to EVER happen to video games

    Except, generally speaking, it's not the devs who are getting to make this decision, it's the suits in the boardroom.

    AI/LLMs DLSS 5 will be the worst thing to EVER happen to video games

    Specifically, it is using generative AI (which has its own caveats separate to this, from climate footprint to memory shortages to plagiarism) to erase and replace the work of real human artists (which is the specific issue with DLSS 5). This is, by the way, not what DLSS was ever supposed to...

    What mechanics or subsystems do you use regardless of the game you are running/playing?

    The foundational way to use Clocks is as a representation of either (a) "You Complete X" or (b) "This Thing Happens". As I learned of them through BitD my go to example would be as a heist. So you've got a Clock A, which is the players making progress toward their goal, and Clock B, which is...

    What mechanics or subsystems do you use regardless of the game you are running/playing?

    Yeah this is like the way Gear loads work in BitD and I've thought about ways to adapt that to streamline a lot of that minutia

    Are those mods made by humans?

    What mechanics or subsystems do you use regardless of the game you are running/playing?

    I came here to post about this. Clocks are such a great mechanic; they're practical, functional, transparent; they allow for a push and pull dynamic and create a buildup of tension better than any game mechanic outside of Dread. Skill Challenges walked so that Clocks could run. I can't imagine...
