    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    I'm planning on ripping out a bunch of carpet in my dining and living room in the next few years when my kids are old enough to not damage it. Trying to convince myself to get natural hardwood flooring because it looks fantastic. We have engineered hardwood in my kitchen right now and it's...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    I'd recommend running the conversation through an AI and asking it to explain it to you.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    It's good that you're legitimately impressed by the robotics because that's the hard part. Also, vacuums also work just fine on hard floors for light-duty debris removal. The important part is that they have to be configured for them to avoid scuffing the surface. My home vacuum has two...

    The sexy homemaker robot concept will really take a dark turn if the optimal robot is child sized.

    The producer's letter sounds like they aren't releasing the Kunark zones in as similar state as possible, but are instead making new versions where everything isn't in ruins? Seems crazy and improbable. There's just so much content that would need to be redone. I'm pretty sure all the...

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    We got our first iron. I'm enjoying the game but still feel like I'm playing Minecraft without redstone or villagers.

    I can assure you that as a low level warrior, whenever sergeant slate caught me grinding light blue con spiders in the commonlands and then sitting for half an hour to regen, he picked me up and forced me in a group with a healer.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Yes, but you can "level" it higher by learning more recipes. Like, 1,000 recipes to max it out. This is, of course, tedious AF and only recommended if you enjoy it. You get better chance to succeed at crafting and you get a modest boost to one of the augs (Artisan's Prize), but it's not worth...

    Starcraft - Dominion

    The marine unit in SC is a bit interesting because it's so closely related to other IPs that make them extremely powerful units, including WH40K, Fallout, Halo. They're overpowered to sell dolls (wh40k) and to provide the player power (halo, fallout), but when that unit concept is ported...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Every expansion for the last few years the community asks the devs to stop making the best gear crafted, and every ignore it. There's zero chance to have interesting or lore-relevant gear drops when the dropped gear is just a speedbump on the way to generic, nameless crafted gear. The evolving...

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    I don't know about Valheim structures but there's something satisfying about remaking the homeless encampment base into something more organized, but you can just never beat the efficiency of everything just thrown around on the ground. The way I got around that in Palworld was to basically...

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    This is a common sentiment I've read about Valheim, and I'm curious, for those who agree with it, have you played a lot of similar games? I've played so many similar games I wonder if I won't be drawn in the same way.

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    Bought valheim and enjoyed the first day. Made a shitty house, ate some boar meat and went to sleep. Highlight is when I learned trees have collision damage and killed me. I'm not sure what the draw of the game is, what does Valheim bring to the survival game that Minecraft didn't do back in 2009?

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    I read about valheim briefly, it sounds like something I don't want to beat solo but also don't want to join a server with a bunch of high level players who just carry me to endgame, hmmmmmm

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    Ooh I've been waiting for this to exit early access to play. How much of this is running around in the woods mining sticks and how much is base building?

    Yeah. I don't pay much attention to it but pretty much every optional romance in any game I can remember you just need to simp out for the love interest. The Witcher series might have some exceptions, I don't really know. I can't think of a single game with an optional romance where you didn't...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    For me the conspiracy runs deeper than that. I think there is no golden goose and people aren't buying these ships in the quantities they claim. The current burn rate is sustained by "something" whether it is private $$$, money laundering, whatever. Eventually the game will be marked as...

    Everquest Legends

    I started playing EQ after Plane of Sky was released, so I wasn't on the ground floor but my view is that EQ was ground-breaking in terms of exploring a 3d MMO with raid mechanics. EQ released with Vox/Nagafen as these super powered dragon mobs for players, then they wanted to create a super...

    Everquest Legends

    btw, the endgame in original EQ and the current version of EQL is a little under-developed. I'm not even considering playing EQL until Kunark comes out. You can, of course, enjoy the journey to level cap, but getting to cap and farming the fairly thin endgame sounds like a bad time.

    Everquest Legends

    EQL is a trivial game for dads with no time. With minimal effort you can cruise through the game. Whether you'd enjoy that experience without nostalgia, who knows.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Delaying a PC game because of a non PC game is pretty good. They say it's because of gaming press which is fiiiiine but everyone knows it's bullshit. The $45 i spent twelve years ago has already paid for itself in Internet drama.

    Regarding conventional space travel to another star system, what would be interesting is a sci-fi future where something like a Voyager 13 satellite makes a return trip from Alpha Centauri and says, "Shit boys, Proxima b is even more goldilocks than Earth, it's got breathable air, magnetic...

    I don't trust randos on the Internet whining about bans, but i also don't trust the anticheat capabilities of a company that pays their core developers a salary that's the bottom 3% of the area.

    Someone told me recently they've been suspended multiple times and only use ISBoxer. There's nothing I can do to argue against their experience but I still doubt it. If they ever start hitting people for ISBoxer I have to assume I'll be first in line.

    That's interesting because to me, Marstars puts more emotion than just about any other narrator. He channels harry Dresden in the narration who, is definitely somber and will appear apathetic during a grueling fifty hour weekend of training and fighting.

    Machin Shin is also one of the top guilds in the game. All the live guilds are full of crusty roaches who lost their virginity to EQ in the 1999-2001 period and are still married to the game.

    I listened to the first book in Solo Leveling, I enjoyed it but there's quite a bit lost in translation (It was written as a comic) and the narrator isn't ambitious about giving life to the voices so I stopped at book 1. It also . I might read the comic at some point. I started listening to...
