I’ve looked at Vintage Story a few times but I never bite with how difficult everything seems. Even tuned, it seems I would not be able to escape great time needed to do things.

I don’t play as much and so I think I would risk being disgruntled with limited progress. It’s a game I respect a lot though.

I’m excited. I never did anything Hytale related, but I’ve longed for a Minecraft alternative.

The hardware makes it sound like it will still be $1 000 minimum. Mayhaps more with everything going on.

The article didn’t say their stance on opening the device. Does it void warranty to upgrade or repair?

I just wanted to talk to people and less bots. I’m sort of becoming discouraged though. A lot of stuff here that interests me involves reading articles and it feels like most people just go off the headlines. Then there are certain subs that just feel so angry, like the gamer ones.

I’m always toying with the idea of joining some forums but I never know which are still alive. If anyone knows solid game, book, or film ones please lmk.

They replaced the art later, but shouldn’t the bar be high like this? Otherwise, the caution won’t be there. It also could be abused, like games only getting adjusted post-launch if a certain measure of success hits. Plus the final product is not the only part of matters in the was-AI-used discussion, it is also about the process. If AI is the product of stolen human artwork being fed into a machine, and then that machine is used during creation, then AI has been used in the process that led to the final product no less than the concept art that may not be seen in game but was important in steering the ship.

Maybe someone can share their thoughts though. I’m still formulating mine and this is where I am at the moment.

I know almost 0 about Hytale. I played a lot of Minecraft but never interacted with their stuff. I also never got into minigames outside of the old school Mob Arena plugin.

All that said, this looks really cool to me. I’ve wanted to see something build upon the foundation of Minecraft. Now even more so with MS murdering developers left and right at the alter of AI. I have looked at Vintage Story a few times at length, but each time I walk away thinking it looks way too hardcore for me.

I used to use a username, for like 10+ years, but had a “personality” use the same name and become popular. That was before Twitch blew up, so I can’t imagine it is any less common now. I saw in the Hytale FAQ that they will claw back names that popular users use. I get it, but also it is strange. I guess that is the world today, everyone wants to be a brand.

I think you just noted why they compared them. Both were huge.

Kinda sad to see the state of them now.

Did you enable all the DLC? Maybe you didn’t the first time. I made the mistake of playing it for the first time with everything, and some of the DLC gives you all your powers/etc right away I believe. It has been years but I remember this really bummed me out rather than unlocking things as I went.

I could be remembering wrong, but I think it just hands you a lot of unlockables almost right away. I recall feeling like it killed some of the excitement that would have been there.

Someone with more recent memory can help me out. I just remember being powerful super quick.

As someone who loved Nosgoth, Rocket League was the sads for me.

How are the controller controls? Usually it’s menu stuff I wonder about when there are many things to do.

I’ve never played either the original or its DLC. Does it get any more weird west outside of zombies?

How much couch money do I need to acquire Westwood’s NoX out of this?

The most sane reaction.

They give us so much.

It is important to mind the small text, showing where the data came from. Subscribers and followers on YouTube, Spotify, Rumble, Twitch, Kick, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

I’m using a very very old nook and enjoy it. I kinda want whatever I use to be just for reading, and nothing else. This way it all points to one thing. I also have like a first or second Gen kindle but it, while technically better, is slow as heck and filled with bloat.

I am tempted by modern colored e-ink, but I hear it isn’t super color accurate yet.

I had to acknowledge that I was never selling any of these things. It made whatever value they had all grounded to me.

Throwing out system boxes is easy after I threw away all of my game cases seven or so years ago. I freed up a lot of space. While throwing ones I really value (Double Dash) was not easy, it was all worth it. The value is in the game for me. I am unencumbered. They all fit nicely in a binder, even the PSP disc’s found a way.
