          Milk is good for you EXCEPT whites have proto Indo-European ancestry that kickstarted the whole drinking milk craze that allowed them to grow and expand throughout the continent. Their ancestors drank milk and consumed dairy (initially from goats I believe) so much and often that they developed an abundance of the enzyme that allowed them to break down lactose. Note that not everyone's ancestry did this hence the majority of the earth's population is still technically lactose intolerant.

      Correct. Games don't need stories but if you want to add one, do it. Stories are basically a nice option.
      He said that? Source? Weird, did he forget his humble origins? He basically made games for multiple OSs before Windows was even a thing and he was a pioneer on mobile games, he should know better than anyone that you can make a game for whatever OS you want, if it turns a profit is a completely different story.
      I somewhat agree VR is the future but still needs a ton of development AND needs to be separated from corporate bullshit. Zuckerberg and Ryan controlling most of the VR market is stopping VR natural evolution.

    another way to prove it is by reduction - remove story, keep mechanics - its still a game, story is not needed
    keep the story, remove mechanics - its not even a game anymore

      John Carmack is working with some homosexual company to use AI in VR, half of the time was spent with carmack saying "Hi im John Carmack, you might remember me from IDsoftware and working at Meta formerly facebook on the Meta formerly oculus quest!" More substance in a middle managers zoom call where the phrase "Teamwork makes the dream work" is repeated multiple times

      You won't be. Even if they don't solve AGI for 20 years, generative AI will still prompt entire video games within the decade. There's no getting around that, vidya will be free.

    So basically John Carmack is working on creating the smartest npc alive in an organic fashion. He's just just jamming data into it like everyone else using LLMs are doing. They're trying to make a real virtual being.

      And if he creates it he'll apparently use it to take everyone's jobs and make trillions of dollars. Kinda based ngl.
