I agree, I hope this means that Steam OS will be coming to the main legion go.

They’ve been terrible for a long time. After Anthem, honestly never again. Sorry.

Ok but it’s not done by a bunch of Robin Hoods, they rip off (read: steal and then destroy the economic capacity of) small/independent designers all the time too.

Applying the December 2024 security update via Windows Update or the Microsoft Update Catalog will resolve the issue and restore the system’s ability to accept future security updates

so the solution to it not updating is to go to windows update and update it?

Rise might be the best place to start from a tutorial standpoint. I’ve replayed MHW many times and I feel like even knowing what I’m doing it takes hours before I’m actually in the game. Rise came out during COVID and was half-released when it did which meant they didn’t pour as much time into over-extending the intro. The downside is Rise is exceptionally mechanically stacked for a MH game, so it may take a little time to get started from that standpoint. But also, I would discover new weapon mechanics 70+ fights into using a weapon also, so don’t worry about trying to learn it all up front.

This sounds like an excellent sign for MH wilds on PC

If Concord’s launch was a rocket, it would have bored a hole into the launch pad because the thrusters were backward, and I don’t think anyone would have called it a “launch” in any conventional sense.

So how can it be a comeback if it never even came?

Sure thanks for finding a better link. Here’s a cookie. 🍪

Man I dunno if we’ve ever been here before. Nope.

No he is misrepresenting what’s going on and telling on himself.

That doesn’t mean that everyone should support games being forced into having all genders, or races, or include trans people

The fuck are you talking about? No one is forcing anyone to “have all genders or races or include trans people”

This you bro?

Who are these fucking complete garbage people who can conceive of a world where there are elves, dwarves, Qunari and darkspawn, but trans people are a bridge too far?

You’ll get (at least one) cat as a regular companion that you can bring on all your hunts and there are many more cute hats for them that you can dress them in. They also enjoy it. :)

I love how women and minorities get blamed for failures in industries they barely get to participate in. Get fucked super genius.

Hmm what’s the best way to lock in a couple/few years of GP before it completely goes to shit pricing wise in 2024?

Starfield had lots of problems, but I installed it on my slower (larger) NVME SSD first, that has like 5-700mb of read speed and it failed to load peoples’ faces and hands. On one of my faster drives (>2000mb read), had no problems. Not undermining the video but that’s the last time I saw a difference in a modern game.

I think it’s like 70% that and 30% that all games journalists are also fans (this maybe isn’t true of, say, political journalists) who are always walking an ethical line between saying the truth and geeking out about getting status, access, power and free stuff from these companies. So it also makes them more likely to preemptively defend their golden goose/favorite studios and brands like a kid on a playground, except they might lose kickbacks in the future if they don’t become ardent defenders.

Also, I loved DA:O, and DA2 was OK, I didn’t finish DA:I and I have very very very little interest in this game until I see lots of reviews after its released. Sorry BioWare, but ya basic.

LLMs are conversation engines (hopefully that’s not controversial).

Imagine if Google was a conversation engine instead of a search engine. You could enter your query and it would essentially describe, in conversation to you, the first search result. It would basically be like searching Google and using the “I’m feeling lucky” button all the time.

Google, even in its best days, would be a horrible search engine by the “I’m feeling lucky” standard, assuming you wanted an accurate result and accurate means “the system understood me and provided real information useful to me”. Google instead return(ed)s(?) millions or billions of results in response to your query, and we’ve become accustomed to finding what we want within the first 10 results back or, we tweak the search.

I don’t know if LLMs are really less accurate than a search engine from that standpoint. They “know” many things, but a lot of it needs to be verified. It might not be right on the first or 2nd pass. It might require tweaking your parameters to get better output. It has billions of parameters but regresses to some common mean.

If an LLM returned results back like a search engine instead of a conversation engine, I guess I mean it might return billions of results and probably most of them would be nonsense (but generally easily human-detectable) and you’d probably still get what you want within the first 10 results, or you’d tweak your parameters.

(Accordingly I don’t really see LLMs saving all that much practical time either since they can process data differently and parse requests differently but the need to verify their output means that this method still results in a lot of back and forth that we would have had before. It’s just different.)

(BTW this is exactly how Stable Diffusion and Midjourney work if you think of them as searching the latent space of the model and the prompt as the search query.)

edit: oh look, a troll appeared and immediately disappeared. nothing of value was lost.

I honestly didn’t know that sales figure for Anthem, that’s gross. They stole peoples’ money. That said, Anthem is an exceptional outlier. The difference between God of War and Anthem is that people play and played God of War.

Every corporation is destined to turn into some kind of deadbeat dad. They show up 8 years later because you find out they’ve been using your social security number to buy crypto.

They should have done this to start, it was a pretty arrogant product launch. It hit at a good moment for VR gaming but added another walled garden right when people were looking to alternatives to Facebook.

Yeah Hasbro and WOTC have never overextended themselves before, ever. Cash cow forever yall

I would look into For the King

Who are you who is so wise in the ways of the content of the article?

I sincerely got the bends from basically alt-tabbing from the middle of Baldur’s Gate 3’s superlative storytelling straight into “OMG I’ve never seen someone generically mine a rock as good as you” and I had to turn it off (I eventually played it for about 10 hours, but I also initially installed it to a slow SSD and it was also unplayable aside from the garbage intro.)

The opening section where some hotshot explorer just GIVES you his organisation’s only ship and robot has to be the most idiotic and unbelievable moment in gaming narrative history (at least in my experience).

THANK YOU for calling this out. The story is the most hamfisted, milquetoast, bland, unbelievable lazy writing I’ve ever seen in a video game. Hey, you’re a random miner on her first day at work, here’s a ship and a secret society you’re supposed to be in. Welcome to the video game.

Fuck off.

I’m sorry Mario, but our princess requires $9.99 to continue our session.

It is great, because it starts with more information and permutations than humans can handle and as the strategic window narrows to where humans conceivably can, it depends on what resources had to be expended to get there. I wish there was a video game that had a rhythm similar to chess.

Chess has a wicked end game.

I’ve heard there is a mobile and a console team. The console team did World/Iceborne, the mobile team did MHGU and Rise, but that could be not true.

This seems more like a follow-up to World, so I’m super excited, I much prefer that engine and level of detail.

Is it supposed to highlight the “mirage-ness” of it all or something?

It’s been a very long time since I played it, but I felt like they overcomplicated it and didn’t really capture the arcade-y feel of the original.

I loved MechAssualt 1, 2 was disappointing.

My dad did this with me when I asked for a guitar when I was in HS. I got his co-workers crappy classical guitar that was practically made out of plywood. I think I played it for 10 minutes. Fast forward over 20 years later and I own over 10 different good guitars (after a few years of not playing at all, don’t give him credit for that lol 😃)
