Games inside other games: chaotic, a little scary, and I have mixed feelings

Games inside other games: chaotic, a little scary, and I have mixed feelings

A few days ago I started seeing clips of AI mods that run two games as one. Minecraft and Skyrim together, stuff like that. The way it looked, it seemed like it could work on any game, not just a few. I haven’t tried any of it myself, I’ve only seen the clips, so take that with a grain of salt.

The funny thing is the whole trend gave me nostalgia. The edits I’ve been seeing online brought back the MLG meme days, which has nothing to do with the mods, but it’s the same chaotic energy.

And honestly, that chaos is part of why it’s fun. Taking two of your favorite games and smashing them together is a whole new way to experience them. It doesn’t need to be balanced or make sense. Part of what makes a game fun is that it’s unpredictable.

I used to mod Minecraft a lot. Every so often I’d run into a mod that didn’t work with my version, or two mods that broke each other. I guess that kind of problem will get fixed soon with AI, or maybe it already has. That’s just my guess, I don’t actually know.

Then the thought that got me: if games can be taken apart and rebuilt like this, what about apps? What about other systems? It’s worrying, but I’m also curious what comes next.

I guess with AI the sky’s the limit. I’m just not sure yet if I’m more excited or more nervous about it. Probably both.

What do you think? Would you play something like this?
