Rideshare Stimulator has finally gotten a genAI disclosure on Steam after a furore, with Saber's CEO insisting that it's "swim or die" with genAI at large.
I read the article just to confirm this wasn’t a The Onion article. I understand there are games that simulate work like farming and even powerwashing. Even though I don’t play those, I can mildly see the appeal as you’re creating something (farming) or making something better than it was before (powerwashing). However, I see zero appeal for a game that simulates gig work like ridesharing. Can someone explain it to me, or have I reach a pivotal “too old” moment in my life?
there’s a certain poetry to someone making an uncritical game about a technology meant to cheat drivers out of a fair wage using a technology meant to cheat other disciplines out of a fair wage. the venn diagram of people who would make a game about this and make a game with AI is probably just a circle
Euro truck simulator is the closest game I’ve played in that genre. Sometimes I just want to do something with my hands and turn my brain off for a while, and playing a “boring” game is pretty good for that. Think of it like watching re-runs of familiar shows. Sometimes I play House Flipper as well, literally just painting walls and mowing the lawn lol
Love ETS2, but if you’re not playing it in VR, you’re missing about 50% of the game. I spend most of my time rubbernecking at the scenery. It’s so pretty.
I’m hoping to get a VR set at some point, but I’ve heard it’s difficult to get working on Linux so I’ve been putting it off. Maybe once the steam frame exists. I looked at the Valve index but it currently costs $4,000 in my country which is insane lol
