    AI Image Generation

    You can probably find more educated answers via google, but one of the parts of this challenge is that a lot of AI right now operates on 2D images using some form of convolutional neural networks ( Convolutional neural network - Wikipedia ). Basically, we've found a lot of smart ways to take an...

    AI Image Generation

    This is probably the right move in 2023. I wonder how 3D art generation will evolve over the next few years and how this could be detected or even stopped.

    Cities Skylines II

    I think the challenging problems related to low income areas goes back to the concept of rezoning / construction costs. I recently went to downtown Detroit to an art event at Manistique Community Treehouse Center and was thinking about this thread while driving through a bunch of Detroit...

    The Flash (2023)

    It cracks me up that CW produced a very successful, nine season Flash show (I enjoyed the first three seasons I watched) and WB makes an absolute turd of a movie with an actor that was a dud before all his drama came out. I'm sure that neither group wanted to "unite" their universes by having...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    I'm not really following this story too closely but I'd be totally supportive of a producer taking a writers-first strategy on producing new tv/movies. Whenever I read about the strike I get the sense that producers are cutting costs on writing so severely and isolating writers that it's...

    What is a 11/10 feature and what are those features in Zelda / FF16? I haven't played either game.

    Autonomous Systems

    I feel like I haven't heard much about what Boston Dynamics is focusing on since Hyundai bought them. I hope they release something that totally opens up some industrial sectors but as cool as their demo videos are I haven't seen that impact yet.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Yep. I'll play and enjoy it (Probably next year...) but it's the classic circlejerk of gaming "journalists" selling clicks by overhyping a game as much as possible and losers with 50 unfinished games in their backlog spending their time reading about yet another unreleased game. Some people...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    I think there's just a lot of people that don't actually enjoy playing the game, they are just addicted to some kind of dopamine rush from "progress". So anything that interrupts that addiction is an attack on their entire life.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I dunno about platform or hardware specific issues but broth skyrim and fallout 4 were totally playable at release for me personally. I didn't play nor count fallout76. The only BGS game that was verrrry broken for me at release was fallout new vegas, and that was mostly obsidian's fault with...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    What would you recommend for a TLP ruleset that made the game harder in an enjoyable way, harder in an even way for different expansions and could be disabled halfway through the expansion to give people a chance to catch up to the autists?

    Snow White (2024)

    I'd rather watch Snow White 2024 than argue with you about the differences between a Aztec Empire setting and a podunk Chesapeake Bay tribe setting.

    Snow White (2024)

    They're similar in that it's a new world native hooking up with an old world dude, but Ossoi doesn't recognize the profound differences between a small Powhatan tribe vs the Aztec Empire, the Englishmen vs conquistadors or a Spanish monk vs English captain.

    Nah. I'd be interested in watching that movie.

    Snow White (2024)

    tbh I would be waaaay more interested in an adaptation of Snow White with Peter Dinklage providing substantial artistic direction and a focus on making it a movie that respects dwarves. A generic live-action adaptation with Snow White with a bit of color injected? Meh.

    Combine that with 25%/50% respawn times and a lot of comfy endgame camps could get pretty dicey.

    necrophilia is sex with an unmoving and dead corpse. I don't even think zombie fucking would count. Vampires though? Humans have been fantasizing about fucking vampires for decades. That's the least problematic part about a vampire bear fuck.

    https://consequence.net/2023/07/hollywood-studios-ai-proposal-extras/ I think actors may be surprised at how little the public will care about the plight of actors getting automated out of existence.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Bingo. TLP is trivial, not worth being competitive in for me personally. Vaniki was a good idea but too aggressive. Something that provides a hard mode followed by the normal easy mode would be perfect and make prepping for an expansion release interesting.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Decrease all spawn times to 25% - 50% and I'm in. Add a rule where the first four weeks of an expansion release don't include the levels/aa's/spells, just the zones and I'll go hard on it. Classic zones is a non-starter. The entire DPG staff can't produce the zones that the coked out artists in...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    The first game I ever hoarded in was Ultima Underworld, which, more than any other RPG I've ever played, encouraged you to murder-hobo by making half the residents non-aggressive NPCs while also putting unique and interesting loot on them. Every floor I'd clear all the quests in, then murder...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Of the many problems with Oakwynd, one of them is that the heritage gear rules encourage people playing sweaty, but the FTE rules discourage it. What are you going to do, sweat it out and voltron-fuse a mega-BIS character in the first couple weeks of PoP just so you can.... not be able to...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I didn't call out anyone, brother! We'll see if DLSS comes with Starfield. I was surprised that AMD is paying companies to not support features, but that list makes that clear. I might buy a PC for Starfield, but I guess if mods provide DLSS it won't matter to me since my Bethesda playthroughs...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    In oblivion i had a modded trophy room filled with thousands of gems. In Skyrim anytime more than a few hundred gems were present near the player the game would crash. I tried for hours to mod the gems model so it wouldn't crash but never could.

    Based on how MS has handled Minecraft, i see this as a good thing for Activision/Blizzard. I hope they send in the bobs and clean house.
