- Comment on What MMORPG are you playing, and why? 1 day ago:
Wakfu. MMO in a kinda cutesy animation style. Combat is turn based, very final fantasy tactics (which I enjoy), and actually quite complex. You can spend ages min maxing your build.
There’s an actual lore and storyline (and crazy enough an entire TV show). Harvesting and crafting professions that are fun and useful. A kind of player housing. Mounts. All shop items are cosmetic or resets only.
It’s a great game that’s been around for a long time and isn’t going anywhere.
Jump on the Ogrest server, which is the most active international server today.

Well that sucks I really do like the smell. But maybe I’m just crazy.

I look forward to these with every refresh of my Lemmy feed. I don’t want an endless loop of “news”. I just like hearing from normal people enjoying games.

Absolutely. NPCs are just wallpaper to me. They might as well not exist. It’s way more interesting to me to see real people.

I love these slice of life type games that offer a variety of quests, trades, and places to explore. I know there are plenty of those as single player games but they’re infinitely more fun as MMOs where friends can hop in and join you.
- Comment on Corporate greed is killing RuneScape. What do people play instead? 2 months ago:
Minimal. There’s a unique captcha system in harvesting that makes it difficult to bot. The closest thing to bad bots are people running multiple accounts on single account servers to run dungeons. It’s a bannable offense and people do get banned for doing it.
- Comment on Corporate greed is killing RuneScape. What do people play instead? 2 months ago:
Try Wakfu. There are a lot of chill trades to grind casually and the economy is completely player driven. There are no NPCs to buy or sell your loot to.
The PvE gameplay loop is really fun. The game has an adjustable level system that encourages players to replay lower level dungeons. Battles are turn based and have a surprising amount of strategy.
The only real problem with the game is that the devs seem to not care about player growth at all. They do zero marketing and sometimes the registration system is broken and won’t get fixed for awhile. It’s like the opposite problem to RuneScape.
- Comment on Have you ever realized just how broken you are? 4 months ago:
I had a similar relationship with my father. He was an alcoholic. These days I don’t have much of a relationship with him. I recognize that he’s a better person now that he’s older, but I don’t really see him as “dad”. Just “father”.
My mom sometimes asks if I will regret not spending more time with him. Honestly, I’m not sure I would. I don’t have many fond memories with him at all. It’s weird saying this knowing that I have a father who loves me in his own way when others might not have one at all.
- Comment on Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather? 4 months ago:
This is a really thoughtful and educational answer. I learned a lot from this. Thank you!
- Comment on Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather? 4 months ago:
That’s what I already do. Which got me thinking about why apps are so bad at this considering they can do the same thing.
- Comment on Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather? 4 months ago:
Sounds like the system is just stuck on old tech. If I can tell that rain will reach my area from a precipitation radar map then I’m fairly certain an ML based system can do this too.
I suppose there’s just no money in it.
- Comment on Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather? 4 months ago:
This is exactly what I’m looking for! I also often check the weather to get a gauge on whether it’s clear to walk my dogs. 2-3 hours ahead is perfect.

- Comment on Moore’s Law for AI. Is there such a thing? 1 year ago:
I see your point. Rereading the OP, it looks like I jumped to a conclusion about LLMs and not AI in general.
My takeaway still stands for LLMs. These models have gotten huge with little net gain on each increase. But a Moore’s Law equivalent should apply to context sizes. That has a long way to go.
- Comment on Moore’s Law for AI. Is there such a thing? 1 year ago:
What drastically better results are you thinking of?
- Comment on Moore’s Law for AI. Is there such a thing? 1 year ago:
We’ve reached far beyond practical necessity in model sizes for Moore’s Law to apply there. That is, model sizes have become so huge that they are performing at 99% of the capability they ever will be able to.
Context size however, has a lot farther to go. You can think of context size as “working memory” where model sizes are more akin to “long term memory”. The larger the context size, the more a model is able to understand beyond the scope of it’s original model training in one go.
