Will anyone actually play this? Is there a market for LLM-made “retro” games where the retro communities themselves don’t value LLM work and would rather play things made by humans?

This chestnut. Gone are the days of people jerking themselves silly over their Moleskine or Lichtenwhatever 77 notebooks.

It wasn’t but the times changed. It used to be pretty dead and very boring. But HN has turned into an AI cesspool and the relatively few actual humans who post here are penalized for controversial statements. So people just went elsewhere. AI things accelerated it.

The two mods that oversee this site will soon have to deal with a Faustian bargain. They can continue shadow banning actual users whose opinions they find problematic, and instead have content mostly posted by bots, or they can ease up on their guidelines so we can post with a bit more room to breathe. Human content will become rarer. Who knows, maybe they go towards invite only like lobsters? YC bootlickers only?

Either way, good luck to HN. Hoisted by one’s own petard.

What happened to Blitz Basic and Blitz 3d?
