@Ninji @typhlosion Seconding CARROT. It's great.

@gardevoir (Which is to say: you can try, and said technical solution might gain traction for awhile. But the thing is, human beings are incredibly creative, diverse, and versatile, and will find ways to maximize or route around any engineering solution. Such that you will always need to meet a social problem with social solutions, empathy, and support or moderation.)

@gardevoir The way a friend communicated this to me awhile back, in unrelated context during the forum era, was "you can't use a technical solution to solve a social problem." I think about that a lot these days.

@chr Literally the most excited thing I was for in the trailer was seeing one of the dragons flying up in the skybox behind Link. (Also, realizing the new mechanics will make shield surfing rad as hell.)

@Dex Archipelago occasionally runs multiworld stress tests across their library of supported games, so the answer in that setting is going to be at least a dozen different games.

In the binary itself however, probably fewer, at least until some mad lad randos Super Mario All Stars or something. >..>

@Dex Because if there's inherently nothing separating a creator from a bot (and there is, both psychologically and as a matter of process), it means they can throw money at the problem of being creative. And that helps them feel better about not finding their own spark or devoting any creative energy in their lives.

And I can see why they'd want to try using money to paper over that yawning void where their soul should be.

@Dex Part of what powers projects like this, I think, are when you peel back all of the layers of grift and techbro fiefdom nonsense, this is what creativity feels like to people who have never had a passion or artistic spark in their lives.

And while that's profoundly sad, it helps explain why their standards are so low, and why their expectations are so high for bots and ChatGPT generative babble to fill the space instead.
