Easiest way to copy a video ist just to play it back and record it. You can't do that with a game

Well... You can, but then you might as well but some commentary over it and upload it to youtube, and possibly earn a bit of money.

[–] thisfro@slrpnk.net 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, just not a playable game anymore

Unleas you 'watch' the game with some kind of image training AI, that then learns how to approximately hallucinate a game.

So, technically, you can "watch" a game and sort of cause that to result in a sort of playable game.

This is however vastly more time and compute intensive that just ripping a movie, and results in... something of a fever dream version of a game, that tends to lose accuracy and stability the longer you play it.

That's kinda crazy haha

Looks interesting in an academic sense, but imho conpletely stupid in real applications

That is pretty much my take away on it as well.

However:

It could theoretically be useful in some kind of psychological horror game where you actually just want the player to feel like an actual schizophrenic or person in a drug fueled psychosis, whose reality is fundamentally unstable and filled with inexplicable, sometimes subtle, sometimes massive, discontinuities.

Instead of jump scares and spoooky scary ambience...!, just here, put the player through the fever dream hallucinator, now they're gonna have a whole different flavor of a bad time, hahah!

EDIT: Another funny way you can do mindfuckery in Doom is to set pi to be exactly 3.

This subtly but eventually infuriatingly warps the 3D rendering uh, paradigm of the world, of perspective itself, with sort of similar just... weird fucking nonsense going on.
