- Comment on Large Language Models in Video Games? 1 day ago:
Tiny models only get stupid like that because you’re compressing a general purpose model that knows everything in the world farther than it can handle. If you start with a model that only knows how to speak basic english and info about a few hundred things in the game world, it can be much smaller.

I know, star fox 64 cost me $70 too. Part of the reason why i can’t blame them that much
- Comment on GTA VI Might Inspire Other AAA Developers to Price Their Games at $100 1 day ago:
This seems fine given the scale of the game and assuming it’s not bad, but it’s more worrying how it will lead to $100 shovelware five years from now. We already had Zelda at $70 (also worth it) so i could see a trend forming.

They don’t need a ton of ram if you use a tiny LLM customized for the game’s use cases, and that’s what games would be doing.

Since games take 5+ years to make now we’re probably in for a wave of metaverse products soon.

no it’s like fortnite or cod. They usually have a low barrier to entry and then make profit from microtransaction and ELO hell
- Comment on All the Games Reportedly Set for Release on Nintendo Switch 2 - IGN 1 week ago:
I’m not saying they’re doing the right thing but this take is always such an overreaction. Among all the evil in the world today nintendo’s actions are relatively minor and widespread piracy gives them a legit reason for doing it
- Comment on All the Games Reportedly Set for Release on Nintendo Switch 2 - IGN 1 week ago:
there is no chance any of the major Switch 2 games will run on Switch 1. If switch 1 could run elden ring or FF7R they’d have released those games years ago

- Comment on What's the greatest joy you have gotten from a video game? 2 weeks ago:
- Getting to the final boss of persona 3 as my first SMT game, feeling actually scared irl, fighting it for over an hour and then getting wiped out when it had less than one pixel of hp left. The party AI was sabotaging me and I was coming up with new strategies in real time to counteract it, it was great
- The final dungeon of FFIV-2 (yes I agree the game is shit). I had to finish it in one night because I was going back to college the next morning. My real world scheduling was good but I didn’t plan for it to be the longest final dungeon in FF history. Luckily the entire thing was really fun and I played for 12 hours until sunrise, delirious while taking down the final boss and getting to see the credits roll.

Ten years of early retirement is probably enough time to refuel his interest in creating
- Comment on How many games do you manage to play at the same time? 2 weeks ago:
2-4 depending on the mood. Could go higher but then games would take too long to finish
- Comment on What procedures do you take to save and archive your games? 2 weeks ago:
Nothing. 95% of the time I don’t want to play a game more than once and if my chosen store closes I can ethically pirate it. Or maybe the game will be buyable as a $5 retro game 20 years from now and that’s fine too.

Just don’t buy games with zombies or realistic gray visuals? Why is this difficult

Very interesting observation, I think you’re right here. I don’t think they need to be sub systems but it does look like a trend now.

Linux is great but it’s not suitable for most people. When it breaks you need the command line to fix it.
- Comment on Anon hates Apple 3 weeks ago:
Windows sells my data, puts ads everywhere, and the UI annoys me five times every day I use it; OSX doesn’t. It’s worth the extra money.

- Comment on Fully playable Star Wars: Battlefront 3 Wii build leaks online 4 weeks ago:
From the article:
“It was pretty much done, it was in final [quality assurance testing],” Free Radical founder and former studio director Steve Ellis told GamesIndustry.biz in 2012. “It had been in final QA for half of 2008, it was just being fixed for release. LucasArts’ opinion is that when you launch a game you have to spend big on the marketing, and they’re right. But at that time they were, for whatever reason, unable to commit to spending big. They effectively canned a game that was finished.”
