The problem I have with this game is there’s no challenge. I like games where losing happens frequently. I can’t be entertained without challenge. This, to me, falls under the class of sandbox games which just don’t engage me. Too many of these games focus on graphics and flavor without really nailing down the core simulation. I’d rather manage a tiny town with deep simulation and high difficulty than paint a metropolis that feels empty to me.

I would love a city builder that was truly challenging. I don’t care to spend hours painting my beautiful city for screenshots.

It’s mostly blogspam and gpt generated “articles” and has been for years. Some of the language specific subs were good though.

Seems like a fairly convenient political punching bag if you want to score some easy wins. I feel like it’s underutilized. Both parties (in the us where HoAs are actually common) could use this strategy pretty easily.

Yeah if it’s that hard to find gpt is just going to hallucinate some bs into the response. I use it as a stack overflow at times and often run into garbage when I’m trying to solve a truly novel problem. I’ll often try to simplify it to something contrived but mostly find the output useful as a sort of spark. I can’t say I ever find the raw code it generates useful or all that good.

It’ll often give wrong answers but some of those can contain useful bits that you can arrange into a solution. It’s cool, but I still think people are oddly enamored with what is really just a talking Google. I don’t think it’s the game changer people are thinking it is.
