Some game developers are far too shameless about generative AI use

I'm having to be steadily more careful on what I choose to cover here on GamingOnLinux, with more games releasing using generative AI.

Playing Video Games Has an Unexpected Effect on Kids' IQ, Study Discovers : ScienceAlert

Researchers have linked spending more time playing video games with a boost in intelligence in children, which goes some way to contradicting the narrative that gaming is bad for young minds.

Keep Driving is a refreshing road trip management RPG

A road trip RPG that blends in some inventory management and unique turn-based battles that has you fight off everything on the road from tractors to abandoned suitcases, Keep Driving is a charming and clever game worth your time.

Or, alternatively, don't give companies money that de-list products.

Suggestions for resources to find free/libre #games for #linux ?

Usually I just rely on the package manager to check out/try out games, but one of the main things it lacks is screenshots.

Here are a few websites I found as resources:

gamingonlinux.com/free-games/

savannah.gnu.org/

libregamewiki.org/GPL_games

It would also be nice if there was a reliable place where libre games have "ratings" so I can decide wether a game is even worth downloading.

So, since JoinMastodon.org has decided to change the way servers are listed on their website — showing preference for large servers who do not have a manual review process to join —>

May I ask that you Boost this post so people can find us at mstdn.games ?

As someone who games for entertainment, I found the obvious bias in this research survey to be a bit galling, but feel free to respond and show that games are no different from a lot of forms of entertainment.
