Therapy isn’t for negative emotions. It’s for poor reactions to negative emotions.

If you’re told to go to therapy for “every negative emotion you have” it sounds like there’s more going on here than you just having them.

It’s not so much about washing hands next to each other itself, but rather that that never happens here. Either you wash your hands alone or next to somebody your gender. It feels weird because bathrooms have become safe spaces of sorts for each gender, that are enclosed rooms.

At a concert the bathroom area is just the entire concert area and then the bathrooms. In the coed bathrooms pictured above the sinks are located in what is very much still “The bathroom”.

It’s not that there’s anything actually wrong with the coed design, but it’s just sort of a culture shock thing. It feels weird to me because it’s a novel situation I hadn’t ever found myself in before. I would also argue that people wouldn’t like it because of that alternate usage bathrooms have evolved to be, which is that gender-separated safe space. A small group of women could separate from the men they’re with and have a private conversation at a social venue for example.

I’ve actually used a bathroom designed exactly like this before. Was definitely weird experience as an American

I mean you can’t sell this thing on the artwork if it was AI generated man.

I’m not going to lecture you on the ethics and merits of AI in game design but I will just say that from a personal standpoint, I can tell immediately that this looks like vibecoded slop. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. Maybe you hand built all the games backend systems and just used AI for the UI or whatever, but with the absolute inundation of “Look what I made” projects that were made 100% by an AI and not the user, I would definitely echo what another user said and be upfront about how much of this was just AI generated because it sets appropriate expectations for your potential new users. And if you stick with it long term, consider commissioning some hand made art assets to make it stand out.

Good luck with your project though

Is the “custom artwork” actually custom artwork and not like AI generated placeholders?

Because the UI from the screenshot looks very much like it was created entirely by Claude Code

I mean both games are blocky, voxel based survival sandbox games where you’re dropped into a world and have to build a base and collect resources for better gear and hide from the monsters that come out at night.

It is very much similar to Minecraft in scope and gameplay loop. It’s just far, far more complex.

It’s more like comparing Tarkov and Arc Raiders.

Animal agriculture only causes more pollution than AI data centers today because Agriculture is a mature industry with thousands of years of supply and demand built up over time, whereas the AI datacenter boom has barely begun.

One Acre of land used for livestock farming emits on average 0.5-1 metric ton of CO2 equivalent annually.

One Acre of land used for a datacenter is anywhere from 150-300 metric tons of CO2 annually.

AI datacenters are 3-4 orders of magnitude more polluting than agriculture comparatively. There’s just currently more agriculture than datacenters, which is something these AI companies would like to change

These things are usually hidden to the human eye unless you specifically look for them.

Before video games, TV, or Movies people just read books, which can feel rewarding. If that’s still too passive for you, people played instruments. We have thousands of years of entertainment to draw on.

Yes, back to enjoying your Reddit moderating

No, no moral high ground or grandstanding…just reality

No it’s 100% grandstanding, sorry. Thats the reality, if you’d care to join me in it.

What I’m pointing out is that, at the end of the day, it’s not your lump of clay to mold even if you disagree with the way it’s being molded.

This is not insight. You’re using so many words to say nothing of any substance. The fact that you’re saying this in response to the backlash is an implication that this is a reason people shouldn’t complain. If that’s not what you meant, you’d wouldn’t have said anything at all.

Hmm seems everyone is living in the same reality as you though, so your comment has no substance or meaning other than some weird self-enlightened moral grandstanding.

This type of pseudo-intellectual bullshit is the exact type of thing I’m talking about lol

People are absolutely justified and allowed to criticize the greed of this company. Part of living in objective reality is that you reap what you sow. Everything you just said is not really relevant to that simple fact.

Cool, nobody said you did.

Similarly, there’s no binding contract that says when you remove features from your software’s community edition in order to drive more profits without any added value, that I’m disallowed from criticizing you for it.

The users will have to deal with the loss of features, and you will just have to deal with the criticism.

I’m not a big fan of this sort of pseudo-philosophical contrarian fence-sitting.

I mean sure, he’s not technically wrong, but it also implies that while Developers have the freedom to perform these rug-pulls (they do), the author simultaneously wags their finger at the people who have equal freedom to react the way they have.

Developers (companies) are not entitled to be free from criticism or backlash for acting shitty.

As you age you’re likely slowing down, becoming more timid, and as a result of that are becoming an obstacle on the road for people to avoid instead of being a part of traffic. This perspective shift will make it seem like other drivers are being more aggressive than before, because to you they probably are.

Because tech isn’t fun anymore. It started before AI, but AI has really vacuumed every last atom of joy out of the work. That’s before you start looking at issues like the general lack of job security.

Introductory pricing specifically, not their regular pricing.

The anti-Proton propaganda machine is nuts. I have never in all my life seen so much time and energy put into trying to manufacture outrage over a single company.
