Good to see Kotaku's admirable journalistic practice of posting a list of histrionic tweets is alive and well

I love that. My wife and I are hopefully having kids soon and that's one thing I really want to encourage. Not to say that modern games aren't any good, but there's an increasing lack of respect for the player's time and wallet. The goal is shifting to maximizing value because they're getting more expensive to produce, but increasing the game price itself is a cardinal sin. Not to mention that live service games just…
One thing that's absolutely shocking is how "hard" it is to actually play games these days. Sit down with anything modern and between software updates, EULAs, load times, network congestion, etc. it can easily be 15-20 minutes before you actually do something; especially if you're an infrequent player. Pop in a game on N64/Gamecube and you're controlling the character within 10 seconds every time. The modern upgrades…
That's true for the big-advertising-budget AAA slop games. Go do a search for "best indie games 2025" and you'll find more amazing games made just last year than you could spend several whole years playing.

A friend of mine did posit the quandary that an "unpalatable" individual such as Luckey appears to be one of the few making consumer-friendly products: Removable, swappable battery packs, AA battery support, standard USB-C charging, easy interoperability, open sourced designs, exposed screws, teardown instructions, etc. Apparently ModRetro is even looking into making dumb TVs for gaming.
It's ironic, in another world HN commenters would be lauding Luckey and ModRetro for all these virtues.

On the subject of learning something... Compare your comment to the sibling from Flashtoo. One is genuinely inquisitive and displaying willingness to learn, the other is just dunking all over someone.
I agree with dwroberts here. Flashtoo's comment is indeed a better faith engagement on paper, but you should consider the question whether the root comment was deserving of such good faith engagement in the first place. Going into a post where someone talks about their cool programming hobby project that they do for fun to say "I just made this with AI instead, it was so easy and I didn't even have to do anything mys…
> "I just made this with AI instead, it was so easy and I didn't even have to do anything myself" is effectively also dunking on the author and disrespecting/devaluing the effort they put into whatever they submitted
Yeah! How dare someone share an anecdote about a similar experience they had! On HN of all places. Somebody sharing an experience isn't disrespectful, neither is talking about how they had an easier time doing so.
> Personally, if I read such a comment under something I created, I'd feel way more insulted than if they just called me a slur or something.
Yes, you anti's are certainly irrationally offended by AI.
> ... every single post not directly related to AI has someone in the comments mentioning ... how they used it in relation to the topic of the post somehow
Have you considered that maybe, just maybe, many people use AI?
> I'm starting to believe it's straight up astroturfing.
"Anyone who disagrees must be a shill" is certainly a take.
> I'd argue that such comments deserve to be dunked on, downvoted, or even flagged
So everyone that disagrees with your post should flag it right? Since flagging is just a value judgment on something you don't like?
> unless you want all non-AI discussion on HN to die off.
Least hyperbolic Anti-AI comment.

The article isn't "about" ModRetro, please engage with the actual material instead of off-topic political tirades.
> Modretro agreed to publish the game as a physical launch title for their M64 (a modern N64 clone), complete with cartridge, packaging and manual!
The article says the game is published by ModRetro.
