fucking hard to talk about this because as the point goes out this is definitely pre-alpha as you know Jake calls out and Jake I know from the XCOM days in interviews and stuff like that right so like you want to always give devs the benefit of the doubt or whatever but you put this out and you look at this thing and you go and it's just like what are we fucking doing Jerika what are we fucking doing with AI and

Not the right things.

Let it go, Kev.

Unlock new abilities.

Create a better show as your cast levels up.

Do you want a catchphrase or the confession booth?

And so, like... It's hard...

It's hard to criticize what we're seeing and hearing because I understand from previous game development and stuff that it's pre-alpha.

This isn't the final product.

But if you're planning on using AI, and again, we're not into everything here, but if we're planning to use AI for voice, you assume we're doing that already.

And the fucking soulless line delivery of all this, why would I give a shit that I'm writing or AI generating this random ass shit that then is happening, that's then delivered with all the panache and performance?

And here it is, boom, bust.

And we look at this and it's like, yeah, like, I don't think this was going to reinvent the life sim genre.

Something that is so personal and relies so much on personality.

And what I would say relies so much on fucking soul.

I don't know.

Nah, that ain't it.
