  • I feel like people are tearing you a new one for suggesting an actually useful and arguably ethical use of AI… If it isn’t for profit, it isn’t for the public, it’s fine. The only real concern is energy usage which don’t get me wrong is a problem but nerds getting past writers block isn’t going to be a meaningful impact compared to massive companies running millions of prompts with their public facing help bots. GMs yoink content from other creators constantly sometimes nearly word for word. Not everyone has the time to sink into building a shiny and perfect original world and tools like AI let them spend the time they have actually playing with friends. Don’t hate on people for liking or using AI for mundane personal stuff when the fight is with companies abusing these tools













  • Historically cyberpunk has been explicitly about resisting the dehumanization of hyper capitalism and learning to rebuild human connection during mass social traumas. Steampunk has a lot of roots in the conflict between unchecked industrialization and people fighting for unionization. Neither is just an aesthetic, both are critiques of abusive power through different lenses.



  • Okay so the dumb part is a lot of this is me abstracting away our complex build system. I’ve basically bubble-gummed a dedicated build system in top of it for only the tasks I do. At a certain point if I start adding configurations or timing I might as well just wrap it in gradle or something. But the system that I’m calling is already their attempt at simplifying another build system that’s underneath it that was written by the old guard using arcane sorcery. The whole thing is a mess
