I never followed the mod monetizing drama but if they could monetize mods and drive a bulk of the $$$ into the pockets of modders while retaining only enough to justify the extra workforce necessary to accomodate the increase of plebs (PC or console) using mods, while also retaining modder...

What are you seeing with Starfield development that reminds you of Bioware?

Hateful people hate Bethesda. And most of everything else. Meanwhile, Bethesda has made some of the most loved games of all time and is one of the few development workshops that have consistently pushed ambitious open-world games for decades.

I use VSCode all the time, it's great. It's shitty at configuring colors. Here's how you do it I just gave up and it's the only IDE I ever use where I just let it cuck me and use whatever colors it wants to.

It'd take me 30 minutes just to remember how VS code configures colors only for me to realize how shitty it is and to install pycharm. Then another 30 minutes getting anaconda to work in pycharm only to give up and install virtualenv.

and just to go into an adjacent but more obscure example What was Bacon’s Rebellion? Summary of The Bacon Rebellion in 1676

I could believe this for a typical high school class for sure. Here's a random sample. I would never recommend a high schooler submit this because generally teachers are just seeing if you've read the material. If your history class didn't cover the Stamp Act and you submitted an essay that...

Oh, new posts in this game I'm looking forward to playing that's releasing soon. I wonder what literally the best gaming community on the internet has to say about it??? Never change, foh. Also it's a good sign when there isn't a ton of leading info to a new game release. In the mmo space...

I've seen this a few times and reflecting on it, the prison arc is essential to Andor's character because it starts with a character who is heavily conflicted between his rebellious / good tendencies and his selfish desires. He ignores his dying mother's goals of rebellion to go pursue a selfish...

DPG is leaving so much $$$ on the table by not letting whales be whales on live server. If they made all raid loot tradeable (while decreasing the drop rate...) and added open-world gates to chase items that were tradeable they could get that TLP bucks on live.

Like I said in my metaphor before, you're trying to figure out how a 5 gallon bucket worth of dice were stacked up based on how a few die ended up after rolling down a hill.

Look brother, I'm not here contributing novel ideas, I'm just saying that your idea that some alien species builds a simulator that enables them to resim their part of the universe to find where the humans are is silly, buuuuut if they figure fundamental principals of how our universe work...

What? Anyway, another version of your idea is psychohistory, which you might have read the Foundation books. Foundation series - Wikipedia

Another version of your theory that's more feasible: some advanced civilization figures out that we live in a simulation and then figures out that everything follows predictable fractals or patterns or whatever, or something, and uses that to figure out where all the other civilizations are...

This would be like if someone dumped a 5 gallon bucket of 20 sided dice down a steep road, then went to one of the alleys a few dice rolled down, predicted the configuration of the dice in the bucket and the surface of the roadway based on the values their dice rolled and then used that to guess...

This fact basically makes all the cool bipedal/quadripedal robots a dead end tech right now, but all the other stuff Boston Dynamics (and the rest of the industry) is doing for AI, materials science, mechanization, etc, is also important. Energy density is going up but there are chemical...

I'm ready for ChatGPT Bonzi Buddy.

I'd give it a rip. I think the current delay on ChatGPT makes it infeasible though in terms of being able to respond to kids. I also doubt that the voice recognition is anywhere good enough to be able to understand a typical <10 year old where you basically need to know what they are going to...

The outsourcing to impoverished areas is pretty wild. We did a collab with one of those companies and the stories about the workers are fascinating. Basically the workers we worked with largely comprise of girls who can either live in shithole, marry their uncle at age 10 or label point clouds /...

My understanding is they don't have a true "request filter" with human-curated terms as much as they have an indeterministic engine for filtering responses. I don't know all the inputs to that engine but it provides different results over time and for different people. If I had to guess there's...

Lmao, i thought this was a satirical article at first. The idea that they have an army of people curating responses in real time is hilarious.

I ordered this today: https://www.businessinsider.com/chatgpt-midjourney-ai-write-illustrate-childrens-book-one-weekend-alice-2023-1

I brushed this warning off when I rolled by enchanter on Aradune, thinking that it couldn't be that bad. Sure enough after a few weeks of it I was tired of the burden and would rather just have a non-OP mage or necro pet. Maintaining the charmed pet while keeping buffs rolling while boxing a...

Gina's weight goes beyond just her acting career. Something like 3 of her 8 fights she's missed weight, which is hugely unprofessional. Watching her waddle around season 2 wearing a steel belted corset she couldnt bend in just made her role hilarious.

The back alley stuff makes me think that the core game is rock solid so they're adding bells and whistles that a lot of players will totally ignore. Confirm/deny??

This is the truth. Most EQ TLP players want a candy corn carnival version of EQ and still manage to whale so hard it makes absolute bank for DPG. Live EQ raiding is also in an embarrassing state. I think every raiding force worth anything will kill all the encounters the first night they unlock.

https://blog.elevenlabs.io/enter-the-new-year-with-a-bang/ This is probably the best AI voice I've heard. Better than speechify. I listen to a ton of audio books and would love to hear one where each character is a unique parameterization.

What level did they kill CBQ in an instance at?

It's on unreal, it's gonna run flawlessly. Just like my unreal stuff

Hit us up with your Cragbeast Queen strat, brother.

Better for the potterverse media team to make a bit stink about it as some kind of book burning, repressive thing so edgy shitlords buy three copies of hogwarts legacy instead of two.

https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?threads/future-of-rpg-games-bannerlord-and-chatgpt.456600/ Mix this with some decent speechify modifications and you get... well, something.

Ah, ok. Good that they made an attempt and shame on the Vaniki leaders for trying to sandbag or whatever. Which people, specifically, did they talk to?

I kinda hope they ditch the AB testing they do with a vanilla TLP mixed with an experimental TLP. It dillutes the playerbase too much. Yeah. Just having hard content that motivates people to spend $$$ has to be a motivator for DPG to continue to play with level locking or something that makes...

what the hell was episode 1 of season 2. The only people who got viking'd are those I didn't want to get viking'd.

I finished arc 3 of Mother of Learning. I really enjoyed it and the next arc is out on royalroad and will be out on audible in a few months. Started The Primal Hunter Series by Zogarth a few days ago. Am getting really into it. Please no spoilers!

The smarter these chatbots get the more introspective the questions of sapience, sentience, sagacious, being alive become. If we're really just a ball of survival instincts and sin with a thin veneer of higher-level thinking that concocts an illusion of intelligence, maybe these chatbots just...

Things that would interest me in a TLP: Harder content so everything isn't just faceroll. Vaniki had an interesting idea with this, would be nice to see some form of it refined. Something to reduce kronolords camping everything. I like the idea of everything being nodrop with corpses...

Does sony bitch about exclusive shit? They invest way more in exclusives than microsoft does, right?
