Subscription model/ abandonment is probably the biggest one for me. Speaking as someone in the software space, I totally understand the benefits of continuous development and iteration. However as a consumer I’d much rather pay for a completed game once, than get burned shoveling money at something that’ll never have a proper ending.
Old thread, but considering how quiet this community is, I don’t think anyone will mind too much.
I really enjoyed Projekt: Passion, most dialogue choices have kind, humorous, and rude options to pick from, so the overall story ends up pretty on rails choices wise, but the writing is solid and genuinely funny at times, plus I find being able to make clearly wrong choices that end up getting you killed in increasingly ridiculous ways (after which the game returns to said choice so you can not die and continue the story) hilarious in an “I didn’t totally expect that/ how could things have gone so horribly wrong so quickly” kind of way. It’s got way more heart than I would have expected from a sci-fi harem game.

Any chance you’ve played RimWorld lately?
Oh wow, that camera is a blast from the past.

Yes Ai is a big scary boogyman, it’s coming for our jobs, our art, and our porn, but for the love of god, can we please stop making unsubstantiated claims about what is and isn’t AI generated?
This picture has been on the internet since at least October 2021, the text is clear, background objects have continuity behind the subject, the light/ shadows all track, and model appears to be as anatomicaly correct as any other human (no extra fingers, wierd collar bones/ shoulder blades, etc). I will concede that her skin is on the smoother side, which could be the result of image manipulation (ie a software filter), a byproduct of the image resolution/ compression, or just a good skincare routine. That said, being pretty and having smooth skin are incredibly weak grounds to classify an image as AI generated.
Also, here’s as close as I can get to a Source for now.

Looks like a set for a site called justteensporn.com (everything about it just screams early 2000’s, lol). I’m having trouble locking down a set name (can’t find anything 1st party or reputable, but at least this site bothered to leave the watermark) but the model is Koni Demiko

Huh, the article said it’s a mix of AI and Photoshop, so I’d be interested in seeing what the studio’s workflow looks like. Some of the images are really convincing at first glance; If I really look, details like the light direction/ shadow and the boundary area of clothing hints start to look off. It’s impressive (and somewhat terrifying) how much they’ve managed to avoid the uncanny valley.
In this case, I was mainly going off the fact that the model has videos that don’t have any ai generation hallmarks. Digging a little deeper, looks like she’s also got a few photo sets and videos on YouTube from a few years ago that make me inclined to believe that there’s an actual person in there somewhere.
That said, thank you for the reminder to question everything.
Probably edited/ filtered so some extent, but yes, it’s as real as anything on Instagram is. The model is Nienke van Schijndel (nienke.fitness on Instagram / nienkefit on OF) (Source).

Given that the video is over 6 years old (identification, I’m not sure there are a whole lot more pixels to spare, but here the closest thing I’ve found to a Source.
