  No Man’s Sky doesn’t sound like thr game you’re looking for. Nothing in this universe is crafted to be interesting – there is no exploring every corner of the world to find the last secret interaction, because there are no setpieces.

  Everything is generated. There are no real quests, or characters, or stories, there is only you and your ship and the bases you build along the way. You can create your own stories, but you will not be experiencing storytelling.

  Because they put $1B into refurbishing MSG ~15 years ago

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The horror!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ha, I just assumed it was an intentional typo for HRT

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The horror!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Good luck fitting one of those in a fucking pillowcase

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sean Connery in 1964 (on the set of Goldfinger) and Thomas Brodie-Sangster in 2024. Both age 34 in their respective photos.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s significantly less air and water pollution now than the past, with the only exception being microplastics. We haven’t found many short-term impacts from that yet, though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You all know someone⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a completely valid opinion, though. The products in Japanese dollar stores (in the US) are of significantly higher quality than those in dollar tree/etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon isn't worried about population decline⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It broke the back of the Catholic church and feudalism. Peasants got their first pay raise… ever.

  You’re missing maybe the most important part of this: …eventually. It was at least 40 years after the plague hit, and probably more like 70, depending how exactly you’re counting. AKA after we’re all dead

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon isn't worried about population decline⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mostly just less anonymity. In a large community, you can remain unknown. In a town where everyone knows each other, you’re a known entity whether you like it or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon isn't worried about population decline⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would anyone be coming to the US? Do you think people dream of being forced into labor camps?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Driving Game Players Are Burning Through So Many Tokens Its Developer Had to Take Out a Bank Loan to Keep It Running⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If they’re actually hitting a cloud LLM, there’s no good reason not to wrap that and memoize the results… it would probably be hard to generalize the inputs (it could just be the whole game state for all we know 🤷‍♂️) but youd build up that database of all the most common input/outputs in real-time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GF loves Disney. Favorite character is Chip from Chip and Dale. Was thrilled to get this picture with him.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The wolf shirt on that one is just peak

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨According to the New York Times, Game of Thrones is the 6th best TV show of the 21st century⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It just quickly got old and repetitive,completely uninspired rehashing of the same problems and storylines. Season 1 is gold, 2 is decent, don’t bother past that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨According to the New York Times, Game of Thrones is the 6th best TV show of the 21st century⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Girls at 13 is much more egregious, IMO

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yeah, fuck these two.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  if you have any minority opinion

  I dare you to come up with a version of this where someone got canceled for “any minority opinion.”

  Supporting a genocidal regime isn’t just “any” opinion, it’s a pretty fuckin’ big one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Post and user deleted after finding out Ai was used⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There was no Ai mentioned in the itchio page or the post.

  I didn’t want an indie developer to disappear, if the work is honest and the game is fun.

  Was the game honest? It sure sounds like it was made with AI and then the dev lied about and hid it. It sure sounds like they deceptively marketed their game and stole other artists’ content in the process.

  Good riddance. Everyone should be shunning people like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  OP literally already admitted there’s AI involved. Get off your high horse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “Look how much better this artist got when he stopped creating art and gave into the robots!!!”

  No thanks, blacklisted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Declassified documents show UK aware of Israeli war crimes for 24 years⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the best intelligence agencies in the world knew about Israel’s completely open and obvious war crimes? I, frankly, don’t believe it. 😑

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Supermassive Games announces layoffs, up to 75 positions to be affected⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  LittleBigPlanet and Until Dawn are their big ones

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PupIRL⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have almost the same exact one but in tan/beige… it took the little fucker like 7 years before he started using it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like you’re being a weirdo. Stop policing other people’s bodies and clothing, and stop acting like it’s their fault that you’re so easily “distracted.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨These corpos who feel entitled to Open Source code⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely satire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Before the revolution⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s at least 3000 miles from the West Coast to the capital. Unless you’re Russian, it’s hard to compare

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No, you don't escape this one Microsoft!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m salaried and I’m very much forbidden to work at night without a specific additional contract.

  This is true of less than 10 countries out of the 195 in the world. Again, this is in no way specific to the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No, you don't escape this one Microsoft!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  …what? Salaried vs hourly is in no way specific to the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Set of various pitches of kazoos⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Kazoos can absolutely have different pitches based on the size/shape of the body.
