I mean DeepSeek opened their model mostly to fuck with the US, I can’t imagine it wasn’t their goal.

I just want to point out that there were text generators before ChatGPT, and they were ruining the internet for years.
Just like there are bots on social media, pushing a narrative, humans are being alienated from every aspect of modern society.
What is a society for, when you can’t be a part of it?

Oh I feel like I’m well over any optimistic views on anything. I’ve seen mountains of dollars go to absolute waste more than once, I’ve seen projects succeed despite the absurd negligence of everyone involved, and lies above lies above lies.
So I will find your stories amusing at the very least.
Hit me up in DMs if you don’t want to go public.

I refuse to help corporations for free so they can reap the benefits.
They should pay people to update the hours. And people should look elsewhere for maps.

You pay someone to do X with a contract; they
- take your money
- not do X
- instead show the idea of X, which is yours, as THEIR product, which doesn’t even work ** voliating non-disclosure agreements in your contract ** doing untold damage to your business plans
Yeah, I don’t know about anything else, but fuck Matt with a cactus.

Fuck Google, support OpenStreetMaps instead.
I’m flabbergasted how people are not seeing the OpenAI stuff not just as not-that-useful, but very dangerous for privacy and open internet. And Google is trying to catch up, and they are still the biggest threat to privacy and open web.
Don’t use either, every corporation will betray you.
Support open solutions.
- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 4 weeks ago:
LLMs are going to make senior devs indespensable. So far from what I’ve seen, it’s not great at solving unusual cases, and it most shines in boilerplate and generic problems.
So juniors are never going to learn to code, and then companies will have to pay for experienced people.
Juniors never think hard about unionizing, and the seniors will have job security and therefore not strong motivation.
I hope devs will unionize in any case, LLMs or not, like any other specialization.

Because that way you give relevancy to that platform, and let it take your data.
Fuck Epic, they should make better products, not give away free shit.
If they ever get any relevant amount of users, they will enshittify so hard you won’t believe it.

Not really, the out-of-combat movement was almost strictly 2D? And the first real fight did not teach me the controls in any way, I had no idea what was going on.

I bought it expecting like a Devil May Cry or maybe Souls… then the game started and I noped the hell out. It’s weird and I did not like it at all.

I just spun up a server, and before I knew it, there were 16 players having the best time. I wonder if it could happen again, but I have no time to try it.

Had the same experience with AssaultCube last year.
CS2 still has server browser. Even I have my own dedicated server.
- Comment on What are your favorite 1000+ hour games? 4 months ago:
LoL sucks, it’s like a shallow copy of DotA. I’ve played around 300 hours, it’s very silly in comparison.
Stellaris is kinda easy once you figure out that expanding is the No1 priority for the entire game. Expand, build ships - nobody will be able to stop you.
There was always a need for a ‘tall’ empire - so you don’t expand, but focus on your small part of the galaxy - but so far it’s always crushed by the expanding ones.
Once you get stargate tech, it’s 24/7 war. For even more territory.
Right now I remembered a game that never was really finished, Stardrive, where you could design your own ships down to the electrical wiring. It had layouts with sections, and you could fill it up to your liking. It was a shame that ground troops could finish the game in minutes.
Sometimes I feel like 4X games are usually more suited for roleplaying than actual challenge of micromanagement.
Anyway, I have a huge jam on my main line in OpenTTD, gotta fix my intersection again.

Dota 2.
I’ve played Dwarf Fortress, Stellaris, yet I still find Dota to be the most complex game ever.
It sucks that it’s a multiplayer game, and you need people to play it well with you, but when it works, it’s amazing.
Everything in it has layers of usability, usually componded by the everything else in the game - hero abilities, items, map, neutrals, even the stupid trees play a large role in the game.
I’ve spent hundreds of hours studying the mechanics, and I still don’t grasp everything.
I played a lot of DotA too, but that doesn’t have a playtime counter. But I have over 3000 hours in Dota 2.
My second favourite game is OpenTTD. It’s just so satisfying to optimize the train network and add another 100 trains to it. I’ve tried Factorio, but for some reason that did not scratch that itch.
Or some roguelites, like Slay the Spire (or the Touhou: Lost Branch of Legend), Synthetik (haven’t tried second one yet), they are always fun.

Boo freaking hoo.
It’s not like there are so many other ways to cheat, actually used in many games with anticheats.
We should all stop pretending it’s necessary to put malware into your computer just so some company can claim they have no cheaters, which is never even true.
