  My wrist watch got detached and fell on that gap, three stories down. Maintenance guy went to the basement and recovered it.

  I’m afraid of it since.

  And Unepic is a spoof of RPGs (same author). Funny, but atrocious controls and some sort of pay to win/real money shop I never truly understood.

  Damm, if there’s no legal way I can’t play it… Just impossible…

  Joke aside, it was the personal device of one of the crew members. Not NASA provided nor mission critical

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They were not. They killed the PSP and the Vita. Even before the N64 and the GCube had massive exclusives.

  The only “recent” failure was the Wii U, which had only one or two great exclusives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But you’re not the market. So this not working for you doesn’t mean it’s a bad strategy, and Nintendo is an example of a company who pulled this off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, exclusive games is the only thing Nintendo really has going for, and it’s working. And those games being first or third party isn’t really making much difference for the final user.

  Only real difference is hardware lock in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was the first game you ever bought ?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Crash bandicoot 3.

  Considering how uninformed I was back then, it was a hell of a success.

  Honestly, yes.

  You’re the one replying, I can’t tell what you’re trying to add, or why you’re doing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨oh ok⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fell free to offer a solution. For the moment the LLM wins, nobody else even tried

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨oh ok⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This doesn’t answer the question of finding a better solution.

  I took the liberty to ask Lumo and his reasoning seem more useful than your thoughts:

  A better solution is to adopt functionalist terminology that distinguishes between biological consciousness and computational processing without resorting to metaphorical confusion.

  Instead of the binary of “it thinks” (which implies subjective experience) or “it doesn’t think” (which dismisses complex reasoning), we can use precise descriptors based on what the system is actually doing:

  “Reasoning” or “Synthesizing”: Use these terms when the model is connecting disparate data points, performing logical deductions, or generating novel structures based on patterns. This acknowledges the output’s complexity without claiming the machine has an inner life.

  Example: “The model is synthesizing a solution based on its training data,” rather than “The model is thinking about the problem.” “Simulating” or “Mimicking”: Use these when the output resembles human thought processes but is strictly algorithmic. This clarifies that the form is human-like, but the mechanism is statistical prediction.

  Example: “It is simulating a debate,” rather than “It is arguing.” “Processing” or “Computing”: Reserve these for the raw mechanical act of token generation.

  Example: “The system is processing the query,” rather than “The system is considering the query.” Why this works better:

  Precision: It avoids the philosophical baggage of “thought” (qualia, consciousness) while still acknowledging the utility of the output. Clarity: It prevents the “Plagiarism Machine” critique from being a total dismissal. Even if the data comes from humans, the recombination and application to new contexts is a distinct computational process worth naming accurately. Scalability: As models become more complex, “reasoning” or “synthesizing” scales better than “thinking,” which remains tied to biological definitions that may never apply to silicon. So, the compromise isn’t to keep saying “thinking” and hope people understand, nor to insist on “regurgitation” which ignores the emergent properties of large-scale pattern matching. Instead, we shift the vocabulary to describe the process (reasoning, synthesizing, simulating) rather than the state of being (thinking).

  Yes, of course. They want a “everybody, all the time” service game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Highguard will permanently shut down on March 12th.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Playtest this week was met with pretty mixed results, people either loved it or hated it.

  Honestly, that shouldn’t be bad. Not all games need to appeal to everybody. Take ARMA, for example. It would do shit on a playtest, but the group who likes it does it for some of the reasons the rest would hate it. I think we need to switch a bit from “fuck this game, it’s not for me” to “I don’t care about it, it’s not for me. If it’s for you that’s fine”

  But we already have much more evidence than our eyes. If one of the explanations require to disregard millennia of worth of scientific advancements, I don’t think you can invoke Occam.

  Even in the times when geocentricism was the prominent accepted version, the shape was accepted as non flat.

  That work is done, if you they want to challenge it they need to do their bit. Else it’s faith.
