And your anecdote is "not me or people I know of".

When you say the Amiga games industry is "extremely" large and vibrant, what contemporary platform are you comparing it to?

If there is an "extremely large and vibrant" aspect that makes the Amiga stand out, it is the demo scene.


You can easily and quickly turn off watch on mobile. Don't remember if it's a hassle in the browser.


If the value was low they wouldn't be squeezing it.


Get valuable or leave I guess.


Great stuff!

Small bug - the text for +1 level is wrong past level 1. It uses the sapper text instead.


Bug fixed, nice catch, thanks !


If you're going to be ridiculous why stop there? Why not say the OP is implying all electronics should be banned?

Or are you arguing that no operating system can exist without tracking and sharing all of this data?


Scandalous that war is business, instead of battle between good and evil


I so far have not seen any wars fought for wholly altruistic reasons.

Not one.

Only when the reasons are "pure", can one side be assigned goos or evil


Isn't this the point they were trying to make? The corporations already have that data, it comes with the platform. The bit where you can use some of it for own purposes is not really the offending part.


It's offending because it's complicit with the dystopian mass surveillance. Encouraging of it even. "I can find my keys when I lose them, so it's fine that a single corporation knows where billions of people are and what they are doing"


Not that different to doing the equivalent edit in Photoshop, I'd argue. Quote often 'lical' edits are good enough


I'm gonna steer clear of games that use ASCII graphics as that'd be too many games to think about. With that out of the way: Toby's Nose, A Dark Room, Kerkerkruip


What is different in this case is that large companies are very likely looking to replace artists with ai, which is a huge potential impact. Piracy never had such risks


I think this will only happen if you could selectively replace parts within an image selectively and reliably. There are still major problems even in Photoshops genaI application. For example, it is not possible select the head of a person on a picture and then type "smile" to make the face smile. We might get there eventually.
