Aww AI. I've been using AI for months now coding a game and I can tell you they aren't all the same. My game has gotten to the point where it is thousands of lines and many files... FREE browser based AI models are struggling mightily with significant requests. Yes, AI is just a tool and I need to learn to make the requests so small they can handle it... but wow, when they fail they fail spectacularly. I've had to recode my ENTIRE combat system three times now... AI are great at planning and seeing the vision, but strangely execution is awful. Now I said all AI models are not the same... They are some AI that will run directly in your text editor where you actually write the code... These AI have access to everything and can (obviously) see the big picture, and the immediate MUCH better then the web based FREE AI... I'm sure you can see where this is going... These better AI are PAY to PLAY AI... You can get a few free tasks then you have to pay or wait a coding eternity for your credits to reapply... They are probably worth it if you are doing something workwise or for profit. The difference is night and day... But, I'm making a simple, free game...So am I going to pay to make it? I just got the VS Code AI thing working yesterday... and I burned through ALL my FREE tasks (allegedly a month's worth) in a DAY! LOL! So... i dunno... Clearly the editor based models are the way to go but... at what cost I wonder? Maybe there are some free options.... I'll have to poke around a bit. But my favourite model by far has been Claude Haiku 4.5. It literally rewrote my entire combat sytem and got it working in a day.
Edie has developed this horrible habit of getting up in the middle of night like an old man to pee... She whines until we let her out. Last night was a freaking gong show... Edie up at 1AM 3:30AM then Mystic got sick at 6AM... So if we are freaking zombies today, we came by it honestly... Jesus...
We've burned through most of 3 season of Southland already...hehe...It is pretty good.
I see why I'm using a decade old video card after pricing them yesterday...Let's assume you need 16G on board for a decent gaming experience...the cheapest ENTRY card is mid 500s... then every step up from there is hundreds more... getting a higher end card is easily over a grand! Eeeesh....
Steam Spring sale! I finally bought Cyberpunk 2077! It was 65% off and I've never played it, so it was new for me... it looked like it wasn't going to load for the longest time but after some digging I got it to run in Proton on Kubuntu. Worth the wait... it looks like it is going to be really fun!
