@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber this is so weird to read. "It's hard to say no" no it's not. Loads of us are saying no. It's as easy as saying no and not doing it, though I suppose from the vantage point of an AI addict that sounds preposterous
@enikoEniko Fox @cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber yeah; the addiction part is where i start to feel some sympathy.
Like, probably most people can play a few rounds of a tower-defense-style game, put it down, and say, "well, that's enough for me!", whereas i will say, "i'll put it down in a few minutes; i just want to do one more round."
Then like 500 rounds pass, during which time i barely eat or sleep. "Just one more round, bro."
And that's why i haven't touched a tower-defense game in years.
