Nah not at all. But I get how that could have come across that way.

The source was good enough. I’m simply saying if you’re going to make an objective claim and not provide a source you are asking everyone else to do the same google search. Wasting N peoples time googling a source vs. the one person making the claim.

You know I’m right. I know it’s hard to read comments and actually understand the nuance in how discussions work but you can do it. I believe in you.

Your one google search you can provide vs. everyone who reads your comment having to do the same thing. Thanks for the source but the ease of retrieval it is irrelevant

Give us a source then mr. objective fact man

Civilization 6, Helldivers 2, fallout 4, and elden ring are all in the several hundreds of hours for me. I’ve got some decent time into cyberpunk 2077, valehim, no mans sky, and the wither 3 wild hunt too.

Nothing approaching 1k hrs yet…

Boycott Nintendo

I really wanted to like the first one but felt like the puzzles and movement were so tedious.

To be fair I generally play videogames stoned, which generally I always find enjoyable even on cerebral puzzle games like talos principle. in fact, I like being high cuz it makes it harder.

But senuas first game trying to walk around and match the pattern against the environment was absolutely miserable to do high, and I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have enjoyed it sober either.

I loved the combat, but that was so infrequent it didn’t keep me engaged. Finally after dying and having to restart and do a puzzle section all over again I said fuck it and uninstalled.

Lmfao

But I’ve already played planet zoo

Gaming journalism is dead tho. This is a good example.

Growth mode only to go into shrink mode some years from now at employee (and likely consumer) expense… Why can’t companies just go for stable mode?

i hate how popular it’s become to hate on AI amongst people who know little to nothing about it.

I completely agree, but the inverse is also true:

I hate how popular it’s become to depend on AI amongst people who know little to nothing about it.

Honestly the article is actually dissing the people, not the technology. It’s about a dude who has no other contributions to society just wanting to absorb in AI tech and rely on it for literally everything.

I’m an AI enthusiast, but I absolutely do not have the same perspective on it being used in that way. To me, they are picking on a subculture of incel/antisocial humans who want to use AI as a crutch, which doesn’t really make any sense, which is why they’re idiots.

That said I think you may be right about the strawman. I mean, I personally haven’t met anyone obsessed with AI like the onion dude is described. Could be a made up persona, but with the way tech companies are going I don’t think so.

I feel like this is inevitable with any new tech. Social media, cryptocurrency, instant messaging, the Internet itself. ML is the new kid that people want to use any way possible to make money, until they realize as you said it can only help in so many situations.

More often than not a nice sql query and some programming gets the job done.

I don’t think it’ll stay this way forever, just a lot of annoying hype atm, but I don’t fault the technology itself for that.

I actually did an ML project at my job, much to my chagrin, to develop a chat app that lets us ask questions about our product.

It actually turned out really cool and was dead simple to implement. Now our employees (customer service team esp) can ask questions with a “trust but verify” approach to solve customer problems and surface information quickly. Saves a lot of time otherwise spent sifting thru documentation and support articles.

It’s been on my wishlist for a while cuz I thought it looked pretty good but wasn’t quite sure if I should try it.

Now I know to buy it next time there’s a good steam sale. You’ve sold me!

I waited a while for sekiro. Finally broke down and got it on sale after it had been on my wishlist for 2 years.

I found it too challenging, even as a fan of their other games, it just didn’t click. Finally I hit a wall on some enemy who I couldn’t kill and gave up. Sad cuz I really wanted to like it.

This is the way I do it too. I also factor in cost by hour. Like if I think I will put 50 hours into a game then I wouldn’t mind paying $50 cuz that’s only $1 per hour of enjoyment. Most games are 5-25 hrs though so that’s the price range I tend to stick with.

There’s also quality of enjoyment. Like if I take 4 hours to beat a game but it’s so good it changes my life or is unlike any game I’ve played before, then I don’t mind a higher cost per hour. For example, Outer Wilds.

I don’t use the random generated passwords cuz they’re hard to read. And some dumb forms disable copy/paste stuff.

I get all my passwords from usapassphrase.net, and then usually capitalize the words, separated by periods, with 69 appended to the end.

It’s easy to remember or type, and it also typically works for password rules around casing, numbers, and special character inclusion. Plus 4 word passphrases tend to be a lot of characters, providing a nice long password which is good for security.

That reads like “keep ass” FYI. Maybe consider camelcasing so it’s clear.

I use it too but honestly I find it annoying to use the collections and a lot of the UI. I just want something basic where I can fingerprint/pin access my passwords and a basic search function.

I’ve actually begun boycotting Nintendo around a year ago because I got so sick of them not putting games on sales.

There are only a few games I’m missing, but I was able to play the new Metroid on an Emulator. Tears of the kingdom and Pikmin 4 I am not sure if I will bother emulating or not l, but I definitely am interested in Pikmin 4. Just wish Nintendo could be like valve and others and price games reasonably
