I added a basic roguelike loop to codenames and made it a 2 player co-op game. The "AI" (if you can call it that... I don't think it qualifies for the "I" part) is based on word em…

Do you have links to examples? I normally lurk HN, but I can't say I've seen much of this popup to the front page at least. I'd say the bigger problem would be AI posters/commentor…

It's such a great video that I am surprised its government produced. Unfortunately this is the way the world seems to be going... Every SaaS, startup is subscription based, filled …
