Looking for an alternative to reddit
I can only speak for myself but I didn’t like it because it felt like the same experience over and over. I admit I haven’t played since launch, but back then, i quickly realized all the planets had the same minerals. They had different randomized animals and colour’s but they were generally just the same. And then I lost interest, because I was hoping to be able to find rare minerals, unique items, stuff that wouldn’t exist in other parts of the universe, and perhaps he able to trade it with other players or npcs.
I guess I wanted a different game than what the makers wanted.
Looking at the video now, it still looks like the same basic experience with improved graphics.
Yeah. I dont think what we have now is general intelligence. It’s just word prediction models. But they still manage to give an impression of intelligence. I think there will be some big change at some time where Ai models will use some different technology and probably give something closer to actual thinking.
Path of Exile 2 got me hooked bad. The combat is actually fun and you have to use a few different abilities at the right time to be successful, at least as a monk. It feels very, very satisfying to fight both mobs and bosses in that game.
And the yellow rare items are actually rare, so using blue items is very necessary. Not like in the first game where you had yellow items drop constantly so blue was just useless and not even picked up.
No, almost all people working for Google are good people. They believe it’s fine to spy on people to make money. Doesn’t make all the people who work there evil. But the core idea is to offer free services in exchange for people’s private data. The company slowly but surely removes any privacy online we have as human beings.
It’s usually like this. People who work in companies do what they are told. They may even enjoy it. In Googles case, they have a reputation for having great engineers. It’s very good for the career to work there.
Please expand on your own ideas.
I always felt this game was unrewarding… There is a lot of bad loot and hardly ever any good loot. Talking about poe 1 now.
Sometimes the character felt powerful but very quickly it’s back to dying in one or two hits. I guess it’s hard to balance the game so it’s always at a decent difficulty level considering all variations in gear and skill.
It also felt like they wanted players to craft gear by dice rolls, wasting a lot of time and effort on random number generator.
I would put this game into the category “play if you don’t have a job and/or family”.
Path of Exile is much more flexible and advanced than Diablo - you have almost unlimited flexibility in what your character can do. Everything stacks too, so your jewel slots, ring slots, armor slots… Everything works together.
So this is not just hack and slash, you won’t actually be able to complete the game even unless you understand some of that complexity.
If you stick with it, you will have many aha moments where your character suddenly doubles his damage because you figured out a good way to build it and combine it’s items to maximize its potential.
I played a lot before but I have grown tired of it. But it probably gave me several hundreds of hours of semi-fun gameplay.
Every time I hear about eve, I remember how much I wished it was a slightly different game. There is no way to play eve without investing many hours each time. Everything takes a very long time.
On the plus side, just the feeling that someone may come up and kill you and take your stuff makes the game feel quite scary. I was doing wormholes for a while and pretty much was constantly nervous about getting killed. Never happened though.
I don’t know if it’s contradicting anything. Bad guys with power get together and plan things all the time.
It really isn’t very hard to keep things under cover either. A lot of coverups goes unnoticed for many years until some whistleblower steps forward and gets punished severely. Specially the US strikes down on whistleblowers very, very hard.
How many are ongoing right now? I’m guessing a lot. Because people are no longer even looking for it. That worries me. I think people are fooling themselves that there are no big plans carried out, and events are just random. Nobody intends to do anything, and things just happen. Makes no sense to me at all.
The companies are doing it so their stock price will go up. Each couple of years there needs to be a new hype. Its not enough with Windows 2027. Big techs high evaluations are all based on future hype that will come at some point in the future (and it wont).
