"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

That's funny, not long ago people were giving me shit for saying Lutris is a confusing, unintuitive mess.
Well I guess now we know why.
Unfortunately, it is the only way my SO got paint tool SAI 2 with pen pressure working under Linux..
No, it was a confusing intuitive mess with tons of broken toggles for legacy cruft long, long before AI code was a thing.
True, but if AI is doing much of the coding, that means the devs have been out to lunch for a while, aka, not actually trying to do the much needed overhaul to the frontend UX.
I never liked it. Heroic is best.
Heroic is also doing some sloppy things, though.
but how bad is that really, compared to others
Oof. Got any alternatives for accessing GOG and Epic (mainly free offerings and Genshin Impact) on Linux?
Heroic is great for newer stuff but I still have Lutris because some older games work there out of the nox just fine while they don't even launch in Heroic.
Heroic is best for PC games from GOG, and Epic and Amazon I suppose. Got quite a stock of free games from Epic that I've never bothered to start up.
Lutris did fill a hole for 'emulation', all your console games, dosbox &c all in one place. Heroic doesn't really do that. Looks like it's time to find another tool that will...
Retroarch is far better for all emulation, imo. it's fricken amazing.
I have not used Heroic much at all, but from what I have used it for... yeah, much more intuitive user interface for the vast majority of the most common use cases.
