I actually wish they’d build more of those than the overpriced “luxury condos” people build now that no one can afford.
- Comment on With all this talk about Ai not being profitable why aren't we using it in video games? I dont mean replacing developers I mean in NPCs in the game. I make them more realistic. 2 days ago:
I tried this as a side project and it’s such a pain in the ass to get the bots to actually behave like they’re in a world and not be overly eager losers.
You have to do so much prompting to get them to behave and, as others who have to work with these full time know, prompting can only go so far.
They’re not as autonomous and general usage as companies want to make you think they are.

Which is really funny as Games Workshop typically bleeds users dry on game expansions.
Glad they aren’t here though. I haven’t played SM2 but may pick up on a sale as I’m a whore for anything Ad Mech.

I mean devs themselves aren’t the ones saying no. It’s product and sales people saying “we need this now fuck performance. Performance doesn’t move money metrics”

The problem is you have so many SEO slip makers gaming the algorithm that no one can keep up.
And most of the decent content is gated behind walled gardens now.
- Comment on Bethesda announces a new Fallout... reality show 1 week ago:
This is like designing a Game of Thrones fighting game.
You can throw all the clever nods you want into the product. You can read the source material to high heaven and spend all the time in the world perfecting it. You can hire the best and brightest fighting game devs to come in and design the best game ever.
Fundamentally it will never work. Game of Thrones’ charm is in its politics, feeling of isolation, and world building. There’s no way to bring anything out of that in a fighting game. As soon as you put Renly against Joeffry in a match to the death anyone that’s a fan will just look at the product befuddled.
For this reality show you’re taking a franchise that’s known for its single player experience and tight top notch writing for both the games (at least 1 and 2) and tv show and stripping that away in favor of a format that encourages none of that. All it’s going to be is some weird challenge with loser kids going “OMG I WASNT EXPECTING THAT!!” and “What. The. Fuck. “ for 30 minutes. It’s not going to be good. And it’s gonna be a shit stain on the franchise.

Some people really think these LLMs are capable of thought and reasoning. It’s horrifying.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
100% agree. The whole “good guy becoming a conqueror villain” motif isn’t new. The problem is they rushed it so hard. You had characters constantly telling us “she’s not well and must be stopped” and I was like “based on what???”
If they had an extra season to show her slowly descending to the point the bells would set her off it would have been a beautiful tragedy. Instead it felt more like a “I go crazy you all die now!” heel turn.

The problem with Rowling is she has a massive influence over the space.
It’s not like some random black metal artist who lives in a cabin that no one’s heard of. She’s quite literally a billionaire from this franchise and spends a ton of that wealth lobbying against Trans people.
Quite literally the profits from Harry Potter are going towards hate.

I’m sad Howard’s legacy sold so well.
Also Cyberpunk sold better than I expected given the launch.

Yeah the choice of using Wylder here was sloppy
