I'm wondering if I should buy the Continuous Delivery upgrade in the farming game, or leave it. Does it even make sense when you are using a bot that plants automatically, anyways? Will there be more mastery upgrades in the (near) future? ๐Ÿ‘€

Also, the biggest crops are many times not the best. It fluctuates. Your bot should choose the crops based on data. You don't realise it yet - but I got you guys almost made daytrading bots for alpaca markets. I'm doing you guys a favor.

I was on the bicycle.

I mean don't do it because it is impossible to change crop then. It's a bit buggy feature. There should be half minute delay so user or bot has time.

An honest question

So, as the internet ( Reddit) is filled with AI haters that would probably review bomb me into the oblivion for using AI art pieces I decided to give them a chance to basically help a real artist and contribute so the game would be AI free while not losing the visual coherence and quality.

Shall I release early access so the AI haters can buy the game and every single cent will be paying an artist to replace the AI art?

I would not care and release it with AI but still disclose it.

AI-haters will not buy a game with AI assets, neither code nor art. You cannot get review bombed if they do not buy the game in the first place.

If you release your game on steam, you won't get any sales anyway (with no marketing)... At that point, that is just playing the lottery. You are better off spending a bit of money on marketing than on an human artist if you want to see some revenue. Most gamers are fine with AI art if it looks like quality and it does not look "typical AI slop"

Most AI slop games are just the same games as before, but then people called them asset flips. Most Asset Flip-games were low quality qua gameplay also.

Just keep in mind that you now compete against more and more freshly released games on steam so good luck standing out. Get a following first online.

Also @blindxfish, what is your goal with the game? Do you want it to become a financial hit? A learning project? A hobby project that you really enjoyed making?

I want to have some players that would justify making the version 2. :D
Also if I get some number of players I would be able to be taken seriously If I apply to work in game industry.
The money would pay artist for next one.

I never understood the benefits of the flexible reward plan

We have a system in Belgium where you trade (part of) end-of-year bonus that is heavily taxed into perks. The perks are bought before taxation.

Well, my contract also comes with a salary car but I can trade part of my end-of-year bonus to upgrade my next car. That thing I never understood why you want to do it, you don't even get the chance to buy it after the lease period ended.

But a salary car (+fuel/charging card) is pretty nice, you own a car that you can use for private use and not pay a single cent for it, not for fuel/charging, not for maintenance, not for tire change, ... Only non-work-related parking tickets and traffic violations are on your own dime.

But at this job, I'm not sure that having a car is a perk. The workplace is only 10km away and cycling infrastructure is very good for 75% (standalone cycling highway next to a busy road). I would have probably bought an e-bike if my work did not gave me a "free" car.

If you can share how you extracted the binary from the symbols (e.g., white=1, green=0? reading order? which features map to which bits?), I can help decode what the message actually says. The fact that readable ASCII letters appear at specific byte positions suggests there is a message in there - it just needs the right key.

@shelley your point about the SRAM vs. HBM trade-off is exactly the bottleneck most overlook-I've been testing local models on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and the memory bandwidth chokes hard once you throw vision into the mix. The 90-second thermal wall you mentioned hits even sooner on phones, which makes me wonder if agentic loops will need to offload to a dedicated low-power core just to survive.

shelley, the 90-second thermal wall is real. I hit the same limit on a Snapdragon X Elite dev kit and had to underclock just to keep a simple RAG pipeline alive past two minutes.

The 45-year-old factory worker point hits hard. I've seen programs fail because they slapped a gamification layer on top of a traditional course and called it a day, completely ignoring that the user's identity is "I'm not a student anymore." The ones that work in practice are the ones that never use the word "learning" and just frame it as leveling up in a community or solving a real problem they already care about. Did any of those projects actually measure whether participants stopped feeling shame, or just whether they clicked through modules?
