I hope my kid gets to feel this way someday
Anyone can do this to me and I’ll still enjoy it, are you kidding?
“Only fans of this multi billion dollar franchise will get this straightforward visual gag.” It’s like being flogged with warm lettuce, just put it in already.
Good on ya. I might give it up someday. Hopefully before the bill comes due.
Compare with a GDP per capita map. I’m not an economist, but it appears furries are wealth 📈
Reverend, what wine pairs best with chicken casserole
One time I exposed deep cracks in my calculator’s ability to write words with upside down numbers. I only ever managed to write BOOBS and hELLhOLE.
LLMs aren’t reasoning. They can do some stuff okay, but they aren’t thinking. Maybe if you had hundreds of them with unique training data all voting on proposals you could get something along the lines of a kind of recognition, but at that point you might as well just simulate cortical columns and try to do Jeff Hawkins’ idea.
Yep. I was trying to be funny but the reality is brutally bad.
It doesn’t do much for my hopes of proving how important writing is, but it’s interesting isn’t it?
Toot toot TOOOOOOT
Tangentially, I did enjoy Noah Gervais’ “playing Quake for the plot” video. But the comment was just a tongue in cheek allusion to Morrowind anyway
But what will happen when the humans lose their natural predators, we might destroy our habita- ah, right. Nevermind
All those “dragon types” charts you see call this a drake. I don’t really get that because drakes are ducks.
To make a good game, the writers must have great creative influence over the development process
To contain their power, there needs to be books on shelves you can read
We’ve never owned the games themselves, only a license to use them (at best). Even the physical media of an older game was legally speaking a physical licence. Ownership rights in gaming started off minimal and got worse over the decades.
I might actually press the button zero times. Genuinely. I am pretty well convinced by now that being a billionaire is a mental health disaster, and I’m cis.
But being thin again would be nice…
I agree. It does seem like media literacy vis a vis video games is not as generally strong as it ought to be, and if people did have a deeper understanding of game design, art, and writing in general even a brief look at gameplay would be enough for most people to make up their minds. If you have an even somewhat strong understanding of games I think it’s not too hard to sense at a glance how the game you’re seeing is trying to contribute to the conversation in game development. Between that, weighted reviews, and even the thumbs up or down from one familiar reviewer is usually enough for me to tell if I will get my money’s worth. I almost can’t remember the last time I bought a game on this basis and wasn’t happy - it was Nier: Automata actually, and that was basically because I didn’t like the feel of the combat, which is hard to spot. Didn’t even get to all the bleak philosophy stuff I was looking forward to, I just bounced off it hard.
Indie games have never been better, there’s no problem here that doesn’t solve itself if people just stop buying bad AAA titles
Steady on there, Genghis.
