    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    As a non-writer I'd be kinda curious to read an experience of a writer trying to create a "well-written" chapter or screenplay for an episodeor scene based on ChatGPT. Like you said it's generic and boring. Are there prompts that you can give ChatGPT that excite the right kind of interesting...

    Would love to see another game that tries to capture the essence of Dungeon Master + party the way NWN did. ChatGPT has kinda primed the pump for that type of game in a singleplayer format too.

    I thought the exact same thing. That was one of the first progression fantasy book series I've ever read. I wish there was an audible narration of it so I could consume it again now that I've gone through dozens of other similar series decades later.

    Asking for high-quality (which likely means high budget) and original TV content is a little unfair because it's so attractive to build on an established IP, especially in genres with strong IP like superhero or scifi. If a studio is willing to put up the $$$ for quality actors, special effects...

    I wouldn't mind seeing them bring free-trade to live / Bristlebane for a single expansion. Especially if it came with reduced loot drops. Right now everything is loot pinata in the group game on live.

    I'm glad you're asking such a fun question. I know this prompt response won't satisfy you because you know that human-generated information was provided to chatgpt and midjourney during its training, but I hope you enjoy it anyway. chatgpt: Midjourney: /imagine a 60 foot creature with 4 legs...

    Where did you get the idea of a dragon sea monster from? You're just a lizard brain with language regurgitating thoughts other people had with a thin veneer of consciousness fooling yourself into thinking you have a soul that provides creativity. Just like me!

    What is creativity, really? My drawing skills are shit. They will always be shit. They were shit when I drew a T-Rex in Mrs. Jacobson's art class in second grade and they were shit when I drew a picture of a car on a whiteboard earlier today. Last weekend my 8 year old son and I started...

    I use the app to order McDonalds and it's sooo slow compared to the point of sale system I used when I was 14 and worked at McDonalds. Annoying ass animations and cloud-based delay. Anyway, I'd love to see the drive thru times, operational cost and deployment investment on that McDonalds.

    You know Booze, if you learned to read and understand context, you'd have a shot at finally getting off welfare. Within the context of this writer's guild strike, ChatGPT only has a modest impact at displacing scriptwriters for the kind of TV shows we're talking about. In the future? It'll...

    All I know they said in response is in Oakwynd Information and FAQ | EverQuest Forums where they didn't really acknowledge or address any of the FTE complaints. The test server's integration of those features was unsurprisingly pushed back.

    Bannerlord and TaleWorlds isn't really in the same ballpark of funding as SC/CiG, I think they're at 3 million copies sold. I don't know anything about 7DTD. Buuut, I'd wager that the worst crowd-sourced or indie games that make it to AA or AAA games and languish try to use their own engine...

    I'd argue that Skyrim is the pinnacle ES game. It really is a stellar game, with or without mods. I wouldn't play Morrowind in 2023 without heavy mods, but I'm a big mod guy.

    Morrowind holds up pretty well on a replay, in my opinion, because I consider it to be one of the last of that era of CRPGs before everything got WoWified (for better or worse) with more hub-centric quest markers and also because the modding scene is very strong for it. So it plays more like a...

    Even if they made it persist on level cap increase it's still a uninspiring bonus. If you're the guy leveling up a bunch of alts, level speed is probably not a big concern for you anyway. And if you're trying to be efficient there are just too many advantages when having them split onto...

    Yeah I wouldn't be shook if I was SpaceX. If they can keep delivering on Starship over the next couple years it's all just noise. The fulcrum for this is the Artemis mission that SpaceX is already participating in, but will probably end up carrying as their solution is shown to be wayyyy better...

    Not that you need me to tell you this, but a key difference is that SpaceX probably had a meeting where each department was asked what risks were present in the launch and all of them said something like, "Bro we've made like a hundred improvements since this piece of shit was made and it's a...

    If they executed that launch 100 times, I wonder in how many of those times it gets blown up before it clears the launch tower. There are absolutely massive forces at play, but it seems like all the forces would push the debris away from the launch vehicle. It's too bad they blew it up in...
