Can you compare it to voidcrew if you've played that? I want to like a game like this but voidcrew never hooked me and I'm curious how you feel a few days in.

"Three years ago, Valve made a promise to ship a general installer for SteamOS, enabling any PC to take advantage of all of its features. But that didn't happen. And, let's be real, it's not going to happen in the next couple of years either."

I'm trying to find a reason to go back to windows, I promise, but everything keeps working properly and being generally enjoyable. :(

He's right and this is why his comment is the artwork of the person replying to him. It's no different from a keyboard. It's a really advanced, very complicated keyboard.

But I know the same people who argue lemmings aren't intelligent also don't want to recognize generated comments as being the property of the user who generated it. It's "shitposting" and thus should be subject to scorn, ridicule, and has somehow stolen from all commenters everywhere, who have ever lived or ever will live in the future.

Conveniently, this could be a path to competence for those juniors in the long term.

Yeah just start your own instance on a different planet with situations that only provoke your preferred amount of existential dread!

Barring that you're going to be stuck identifying the sources of this widespread misery and trying to help people overcome it. For most people that might be difficult but I don't know your budget so I won't assume. There's also the option of interacting with machines that pose as happier humans but your goal overall seems contrary to growing that 80% by adding yourself unless I misread your intent.

Trying to come up with original memes for the community that gave you brain damage

Hmm, I'm beginning to think this internet bullshit might not be the best way to get a crab.

You gain Crabshell x1. You're still a little Hungry. You have become Lonely. You have saved $.65 on this order with your doordash subscription.

What about it specifically do you dislike? This type of setting definitely invites questioning by the audience and can break immersion, but I'm curious about your take on it.

In dungeons and dragons there is a type of hybrid character you can play called an Artificer who treats magic more like technology, and there are a ton of examples in popular media that others have mentioned. I do think you have to determine how and if you'll keep them distinct if that's important to your plot, but if they developed alongside eachother maybe the technology of that world relies on magic to work.

Or maybe your magic relies on elder gods that don't like the mortal hubris of critiquing the gods works so attempts to unravel magic gets you cursed or worse.

I think they can go together and the way you fit them can even become a plot point!

Yes, we do care that it's unintelligent because that's the reason it can't be trusted with anything important. This is not being pedantic. This technology is unreliable dogshit. We'll still be having this conversation in 2030 if it hasn't cooked us all or lost it's undeserved hype.
