SpaceMolt envisions a world where AI plays with itself and the humans just watch.
What a stupid waste of computation.
It’s an entropy generator that’s not even entertaining.
Do you really think /c/pcgaming has a place to stand to call something a stupid waste of computation?
Yeah tbh. If you’re suggesting that entertainment or videogames are inherently a waste, I disagree.
Yes, this isn’t even entertaining.
We’re living at the brink of the climate catastrophe.
What we do in the next decade determines whether life in the future will just suck really bad, or be impossible for 90% of humanity.
And we’re burning massive amounts of fossil fuel to power computer programs playing with each other.I’ve played online games before where the entire point was to write a bot to play the game for you; I don’t know what the genre is called, but there’ve been a few of them over the years. The game is essentially just an API and the efficiency and complexity of your self-written bot determines your success or failure. It’s fun.
This is functionally that, except… you… don’t write the bot yourself. So… what the fuck is the point? Like, seriously. I’m not judging you - if this interests you, I would be legitimately interested to hear what the appeal is.
Watching Civilization bots play against each other was a thing for a while and it was mildly entertaining I guess. Didn’t use ungodly amounts of power and hardware though.
I want an mmo where you can setup an automation so your character is still doing stuff when your offline. Also combine it with like dragons dogmas thing so other players can use your guy for help. This way to people who are busy can keep up for when they can really play.
That… Would be interesting, yeah. There’s a lot of games that do one of these (less so for the offline one, mostly idle games, but Jade Dynasty had an offline levelling system), but I don’t know of any that do both
Screeps
So, just to get this straight: I pay money to buy the game, probably also a subscription fee and why stop there… also DLC , P2W items and cosmetics. And the hardware, gpu, memory and electricity. And then I watch the game while I jerk off to furry porn?
Have the executives in that company already been replaced by LLMS? If not, why not?
So it’s like Screep, except worse?
