- Comment on Inside the high tech quest to decode the lost scrolls of Herculaneum | Freethink | [6:54] 1 week ago:
Pretty cool use of MRIs and AI (machine learning to unroll them and read the letters).
Similar (or the same?) tech has been used to read the Dead Sea Scrolls.

- Comment on Getting your dream video game job 5 weeks ago:
Ah, thanks for the explanation. The clickbait thumbnails I’m used to are the ones where they show an image of something crazy that never actually occurs in the video itself.
- Comment on Getting your dream video game job 5 weeks ago:
That’s a shame, they make fun of how game companies are just enshittifying their products.
How is it a click-baity thumbnail? All of the characters in the thumbnail were in the video. I must be out of the loop on some obvious thing they are referencing with that picture.

I’m hoping a lot of the work they’re putting into Light No Fire will be brought back into No Man’s Sky, and that this will be a part of that.
- Comment on Palworld announces Terraria crossover 1 month ago:
Bad Pathfinding:
- Allies: aren’t getting stuck anywhere near as often at my base compared to what they were doing near launch. I haven’t noticed it recently, but they likely still get stuck depending on how complicated your base gets. Beyond that, any pathfinding is fairly basic, they’re not smart about it.
- Enemies: I’ve seen them navigate through trees and up simple mountain trails when they’re running away from me. And if you attack them, and hide up on a nearby cliffside they usually just get stuck at the cliffside below you trying to walk into the wall.
Dumb/Static enemy behaviour:
Yeah this is still very basic. They usually stay in the same place unless they are running away, chasing you, switching targets, or using an ability that forces them to move. It’s trivial to just hide behind a tree or a boulder and attack them until their health is low enough to catch. They won’t actively try to adjust their angle of attack to compensate for objects between you and them.Character clipping issues:
The only player structure I still have clipping issues with is one structure meant for increasing your storage/showing off pals at your base. Even then I only saw one player get stuck in it once recently. But he was probably jumping around on top of it for that to happen. It’s rare to see issues at the level we saw at launch.Really weird physics issues:
The one I can remember off the top of my head was where an attack could launch a character up into the stratosphere and then they would fall and instantly die when they finally hit the ground. I haven’t seen anything like that in months. - Comment on Palworld announces Terraria crossover 1 month ago:
I think that’s a fair question given how it initially launched.
I’m no longer falling through the map. I can’t remember the last time that happened (except for the early days of the game).
I’ve only seen other players joining my world getting stuck inside of rocks when they initially spawn in, but you can just get out by spawning a pal that you can mount right next to the rock that you’re stuck in.
- Comment on Palworld announces Terraria crossover 1 month ago:
I looked through a few articles but couldn’t find anything about a term that would shutdown Palworld just because Nintendo won the lawsuit.
The worst case scenario would be something like Palworld having to change their “Pal Spheres” into “Pal Cubes” or prisms, or something similar.

The physical copy comes with some goodies, or else you can pre-order through GoG, Steam, Epic Games, MS Store, or Xbox.

- Comment on Why is Nintendo targeting this YouTuber? 2 months ago:
But he does have a guess as to why Nintendo targeted him. The first copyright strike landed on his video about the MIG Dumper and the MIG Flash, a pair of devices that let you turn genuine Nintendo Switch cartridges into digital files and then carry around an entire library of those ROMs in a special microSD-equipped flash cartridge for your console. I’ve watched the video, and while Crandall does explicitly take an anti-piracy stance, it’s easy to imagine these gadgets being used by bad actors, too.
“I think the first strike was simply due to the fact that they wanted to minimize attention around the MIG Flash cartridge and dumper […]"
Looks like he also mirrors his channel on Odysee, so the removed videos can still be seen here: odysee.com/…/mig-flash-v2-and-cartridge-dumper-re…

- Comment on Palworld developer has no idea why Nintendo’s suing over its Pokémon-like game 3 months ago:
Though Nintendo’s not going after Pocketpair because lamballs look uncomfortably similar to wooloos, we do know the company is famously litigious in protecting its brand.
So no one really knows what exactly Nintendo is accusing them of yet.
Here’s an older video by an attorney that did a deep dive on Palworld and its legality: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns3ATH556NU (Warning: long video).

- Comment on Flappy Bird’s original creator says he has nothing to do with the new game 3 months ago:
Flappy Bird wasn’t the first to even implement a game like this.
I remember playing a very similar game with a helicopter and another one with a worm long before that app released for phones.
Flappy Bird is just the game of this type that ended up going viral in its time.

I see “TOS point and click” and can only think of “Terms of Service point and click”… what does this actually stand for?

- Comment on Darth Vader's original voice done by David Prowse. I think they made a wise decision overdubbing him with James Earl Jones. 4 months ago:
They also gave him a fake line to deliver and didn’t reveal that Darth Vader was actually Luke’s father during the filming of that scene: www.soundandvision.com/news/100104hamill/
It’s such a great moment! The fake line that was put in there just to try and keep the secret was “You don’t know the truth: Obi-Wan killed your father!” But as much as I enjoyed leaking false information, it was a wonderfully hard secret to keep because (Irvin) Kershner, the director, brought me aside and said “Now I know this, and George knows this, and now you’re going to know this, but if you tell anybody, and that means Carrie or Harrison, or anybody, we’re going to know who it is because we know who knows.”. -Mark Hamill
- Comment on Blue Protocol's western release has been cancelled and its Japanese servers will shut down early next year 4 months ago:
Released last year, and going to be shut down by January 18, 2025
Looks like a free to play MMO with microtransactions and a season pass. No refunds will be given out.
It’s not the best example for the Stop Killing Games movement, but it at least highlights the trend of studios that are releasing games and then dropping all support soon after.
It would be great if studios started planning for an end of life transition where players could spin up their own servers, or at least allow some sort of offline mode so that the game doesn’t just become completely unplayable.
