I'm pleased to report that all those other promised utopia frameworks turned out perfect, and aren't in any way still a huge daily pain in the ass. I expect no less from this time around. Computers are finally smart. It's great.

Yes. It's been a few years since I countered a video game that didn't have separate volume sliders for dialog, for music, and for all others sounds.

I'll wait and see if they can add some AI to it. But if they can, I'll invest my entire life savings.
