I've had Kenshi on my wishlist for a long time, and I haven't pulled the trigger. What's your favorite part about it? Most of what I know is that it's punishing and has deep roleplaying opportunities, but I don't know a lot of the specifics.

Most of the story criticism I've heard fall into a handful of categories:
-
Overall plot seeming convoluted and hard to follow (which is understandable when you throw both time travel and parallel universes into the same story)
-
Whitewashed portrayal of racism used for story aesthetics
-
Ending feeling confusing and/or unsatisfying
-
Certain story moments feeling out of place and/or undermining things that other story moments set up
I haven't seen much in the way of players expecting/predicting plot twists.

For those who can't watch right now
I thought Tommy was the White Power Ranger?
The amount of time to build something like this seems like it would offset the amount of effort it would take just to write good character dialogue. AI tools are basically word calculators, which means you have to provide data for the LLM, which means time to produce this data, time to build guardrails, etc. Even in this implementation, they say they had to build guardrails so that they don't say anything "harmful."
There are also a number of lawsuits going on that will set a precedent for how training data can be utilized in commercial products. While I expect them to take the side of large corporations with vast resources at the expense of ethics, there's the possibility that they will do the right thing. This will affect how AI tools wil be used in such contexts.
So is this stock Yuzu without any changes? IIRC the legal issue was something about circumventing copy protection, so would this project be subject to the same issues?
Also, how do I verify that this fork isn't malware wrapped in emulator code?
So is this guy, like, the Devil? Every headline I see with him is like "Emperor Palpatine is buying single family homes" where I just assume it's for some nefarious purpose that's gonna benefit his regime and dick over a looooot of people.
Updated headline:
Does violate gag order, justice system to do nothing about it because rules don't apply to the wealthy
I'm not a big fan but my SO is really into it. They have the audio/visual presentation down but I feel like there isn't enough depth to the gameplay to keep my attention. Plus I don't like microtransaction games; it makes me feel like I'm playing a game that keeps reminding me it's actually a storefront. All the customization options I want but don't have keep turning out to be paywalled or require excessive grinding.
Playing multiplayer makes it more enjoyable though. Having a partner who is super into it helps me have fun by proxy.
It is made by the same team!
Genre mismatch might be a factor? Don't Starve is not an action-roguelite like Binding of Isaac; it's a survival-crafting game. They are aiming to be vastly different experiences.
