Who says you get a vote against AI-powered drones though.

But if you point your LLM at it and say you want something like this, then it’s all ok. :) If you can’t legally copy it, just launder it through AI.

Not to be a gatekeeper, but should there be Show HN’s from users with 5 karma, right on the front page? Maybe not in this day and age of LLMs.

They wouldn’t. Only people without GamePass subscription and no desire to get it for even a month or two would buy the game on Steam.

Damn, I remember playing games in 90s instead of watching TV like my classmates, and daydreaming one day I’d be able to talk about games instead of what was on the TV yesterday. Now everyone plays, watches or at least…

Just the fact it got 16 comments (2 from me) already is a fun little nod to the asymmetry of effort on generating crap vs. being on the receiving end.

I remember managing to play Crysis under Linux with Wine and I was SO impressed. Never would’ve imagined one day almost every game would be playable.
Isn't that very fitting with the spirit of the times? Reading 4-day week futurism while working 5 days as you always did, hoping it doesn't get to 6. This one and UBI are the two classics of 2000s optimism and naivety.
