I like it. I think if I had been a first time player (far from it — I played it at release), this would be a worthy way to experience the game. That said, playing it again just feels deeply discordant for me. It’s drop-dead gorgeous with the visuals, but the sound effects, NPC models, and so much more just remind me of the original jank, and it snaps me back and forth, lol. Going back to KCD2, cus it’s new to me.

i find it’s a lot healthier to think of generative AI as a search engine for text.

Well, as an American, I at least feel a little better that we aren’t alone in having some crazy, racist weirdos in charge.
