This isn't even a 'anything is possible' thing. There's real work being done on machine intelligence that perceives and responds to human emotion. That field is going to play a massive role in the future of real AI.

I totally disagree with this. The MMO market in the last ten years has made advances to every facet of gameplay, but it's missing a lot of what made the core of MMOs so enjoyable: A persistent world you need to be in a community to beat. Almost all the top memories I have, and I wager everyone...

machine intelligence is more fun when it's in a mobile robot.

Oh man, Khalid was right. I wonder how long it'll take before a_skeleton_03 says, "Quote me saying that robots can't be manipulated."

Oh that's right, it was cloning. You can't clone something with a soul! a_skeleton_03, I think you're making a false distinction between inputs you feel are based in reason and inputs that aren't. You're assuming a lot about how AI in the future are required to work and the inputs to it that...

I just thought of something, are you under the assumption that only beings with souls can experience and sense emotion? This sounds familiar, wasn't there some other laughable action you assumed that only beings with souls could partake in?

I think my BartenderBot that gives a free double upgrade to someone who is emotionally distraught and clearly needs a stiff drink is both reasonable and antithetical to your assumptions. On the contrary to Mist's initial argument you disagreed with, if the bartender was religious zealout ex...

Not trolling at all. The experience to sense and experience emotion is a critical component to AI and there is a lot of research currently in developing AI with that in mind. a_skeleton_03 believes that AI cannot be convinced of anything because it is impossible for an AI to be created that can...

How much skyrim hype was there in console communities before the release of skyrim? How much ESO hype is there in console communities now?

It's very unlikely ESO will be a commercial success on consoles. I doubt they'll even break even.

Unless that elucidates strategies on how to make appeals of emotion to bartender-bots or focuses on topics of my research focus of robotic intelligence for mobile robot perception and planning I'm not interested.

Nobody is getting infracted for being small minded. But when we go out to get drinks 40 years from now and I convince the bartender-bot to make my drink a double by emotionally describing my troubles in leading you through complex topics, don't be jelly.

Yeah, but in my case I shit so much into my unit test library that it goes way past integration tests into full blown optimization suites. I mean we're talking about starting with testing the inputs and outputs of a triangle class and ending up with a resilient back propagation algorithm to tune...

Why would you make this statement? It isn't true at all.

Yeah it was fluid, but only fluid because the group mechanics weren't cohesive. Everyone was a mix of DPS, heals, CC and mitigation. So you could pair 5 people together and they'd function well. The downside of this was that you weren't really grouping or interacting with each other at a...

I think you need a hug, a_skeleton_03.

You misinterpreted the very word you just defined so I won't really bother addressing what you said, instead I'll present my stance like you asked: It's impossible to know the nature of how a given AI will reason or be susceptible to arguments. Making statements like 'it's impossible to...

Yeah it's easy to slip into conflating unit with automated. I know I've done this in the past where I'll create a 'unit test library' that are true unit-level tests. Then I'll keep adding more and more stuff to it until it's got things that replay datasets collected from onboard sensors and run...

Glad to see you've changed your stance. It'd be a lot faster to do this without all the smoke from stupid arguments.

Back to forced grouping in a game like Crowfall, my thought is this: I don't think the optimal path should be for players to farm mobs because it's boring and repetitive. Sure they can farm mobs, but once they get situated they should have more dynamic and PVP related ways to farm. For a...

I didn't like grouping in GW2 because it wasn't really cohesive grouping due to not reliance on other characters. The trinity isn't the only way to have a cohesive group but it really does make sense.

I assume that both Fedor and Cain used steroids. I just think Cain would be able to smother Fedor. Fedor's best striking is at range with his looping right hands (like the one JDS threw that knocked out Cain!) and his best takedowns are hip throws which I don't think would work. Fedor would...

Not sure what you're asking, but my perception is that mass is stored in the protons, neutrons and electrons. What gives them mass? I dunno, but at least I can look at a hydrogen atom: And see the proton and electron. I don't see anything there that represents velocity. Mudcrush, if...

How is velocity stored in atoms?

Well maybe I'm wrong. Who here likes forced grouping? and by forced grouping I mean that after the newbie or intermediate zones the PVE is difficult enough to require 2-3 people to progress at a good pace.

Not sure what you're saying here but this community really likes forced grouping. In general this community prefers MMOs that require grouping at almost all levels. The basic reasoning being: the only reason we enjoy these games is to play with other people and MMOs that allow everyone to solo...

To be fair, the last half of their castle was built. Had they not built it we would've had a much better chance to win. Probably even a few key towers not being built and we would've won.

I've thought about the same thing, basically, "Why can objects have speed/motion?". It's above my paygrade though and I doubt any answer I understood would answer the question at a depth I accepted. I imagine if I reduced any component of physics to its core components I'd have similar...

I'm eager to hear that answer but I doubt they'll give a good one. Probably the only answer I'd accept is, "well we're in the middle of an internal pre-alpha roll out that we didn't want during the hunger week, so balancing our people's time between this and the alpha was tough!".

The biggest arguments for Fedor are: 1. He was generally outweighed by his opponents. Say what you want against HMC, but at the size differential is something no one in the post-sanctioned UFC has faced. 2. He often fought with a ferociousness and reckless abandon that gave him fearful aura of...

Yeah TES4:Oblivion had the same problem. The Oblivion Gates were a total non-threat. TES5:Skyrim solved this problem by making the dragons/vampires very liable to kill NPCs. This made dragons more impactful and changing to the game world because the friendly blacksmith or town drunk would get...

That the hunger week was 'brutal' makes me think that they didn't have much of the information they dispersed a week ago, and rather than giving us a peek inside their gaming outfit they were producing content on the fly. As in, rather than saying, "Hey Bob the Artist, could you just record a...

That's annoying to hear...

It's complicated. We don't do any big PVE raids because few people want to and almost none of the leadership, including me, likes to do PvE. PRX as a whole is a 100% PVP focused guild and while being able to farm kraken, anthalon and the red dragon would help gear us for PvP, the time...

Yeah but do you feel like your embedded programming / assembly /microprocessor class in college laid out the ground work for your professional ability at assembly? Or did it just make some terms familiar and you had to relearn everything when you got the job?

I've got nothing to add on security. I find security and trying to exploit security generally uninteresting though it is of course extremely challenging. Good luck with assembly, lol. It's nice to spend a semester doing to understand how low level instructions work and to get an appreciation for...

a_skeleton_03's modus operandi: Step 1: Act incredulous that someone would state I make retarded and distracting arguments. Step 2: Equate such a statement with calling Bill Gates a knuckle dragging, mouth breathing, cum guzzling moron. Step 3: Ignore the question posed that would force me to...

I can't even tell waht happened in this chapter.

Full report, courtesy of Ghost: It has been a long time goal since Auroria launch to not only claim a castle for PRX but to also take one by force. With the current siege mechanics in NA Archeage, it is close to impossible to take a castle by siege. It would take outstanding dedication and...

Haha he sounds crazy enough to make this work. And now he doesn't have a wife holding him back.
