  I don’t remember where I saw this, but I heard someone set up one of those reductive-but-fun dichotomies by saying “every action game is a dodge game or a parry game”. I had just finished Silksong at the time and had picked up Nine Sols to try and get some more Metroidvania with difficult combat, but as it turns out, I really like dodge games and dont like parry games.

  Trying out Songs of Syx again - I bounced off it early on, but I don’t think it had the tutorial when I tried it first. I’m really interested in getting into a colony sim that really cares a lot about settlement layout.

  Also, now that my modded Gamecube is working, I’m going back to the best Animal Crossing game - the original US Animal Crossing. I assume a lot of it is my nostalgia, but I really do think that the later entries strayed a bit from the charm of the original as they gave the player more control over their town/city/island. I’m trying it with the Animal Crossing Deluxe mod adding in a bunch of QoL features from the later games and I think this might be perfect for me.

  How has performance been for you? I saw a batch of early reviews that sounded like there was a little bit of shakiness, but looking back now that doesn’t seem to be the case.

  LLMs fundamentally don’t/can’t have “sanitized” or “unsanitized” content - it’s all just tokens in the end. “Prompt Injection” is even a bit too generous of a term, I think.

  God I can’t wait for Prime 4

  My favorite part of that video is the single moment of tone-shift when she describes how a point “yeets off to fucking nowhere”

  That moveset looks buck-wild. Guess I’ll go play another few hundred hours of NecroDancer…
