a lesson in game design INCOMPETENCE you don't need AI to make a combat system unpredictable, and predictability is THE WHOLE POINT. So that you can learn it. "True AI" can be useful in a symmetric, strategy games. Not in asymmetric combat games, where fixed patterns are the point. Idiots.

This motherfucker Bobby Kotick was born looking divorced.

Bobby Kotick looking divorced and impish in a suit that doesn't fit, sitting like a slob in a chair that isn't his. It's amazing he hasn't walked into traffic being this embarrassing.

Hopes of getting the third in the prequel trilogy, close to how it should be, I suppose none now. But it's not like I'm entitled to anything, in this case.

bit sad how Malazan novels went from giant books to novella-sized. But whatever, the market demands. We got our long stretch already.

old heuristics. Fascism isn't fake. Money is meaningless, it's power what they are after. Political power, right now and with corruption being the system, is far more important than money.

I'd certainly accept all sort of bad things happening to AI companies. Really, the whole range of bad things.

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP. Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down. "AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago. We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.

@aeana.alefgard.com I'm trying to figure out some stuff... Do you maybe remember on what version the party chat was added to DQ4? Original JP NES doesn't have it, right? The PS1?

Doing a basic calculation using a chatbot instead of a calculator uses between 2.5 million and 62 million times more energy. And using chatbots for calculations is *extremely common* - the companies have marketed these systems as general purpose, everything-apps!

Time doesn't exist for me. I'm watching from the very beginning Frasier and Friends. Frasier is perfection. Friends sense of humor, seen today, is quite weird.

lol, the actual files are here: frua.rosedragon.org/pc/modules/g/ I was wondering why my old directory only had up to game40, the new list goes up to game50. Then realized my files were updated in 2014... It seems the guy released another 10 in 2017

you've rewired the good old problem of "emergent" behaviors, from simple elements

typical supremacist rhetoric "concerns" aren't about AI, but the fascist supremacists controlling it

I guarantee you AI won’t kill us all. The claim’s a projection of reckless rich buffoons who can’t wait to be the only humans alive, openly fantasizing about a cull. Again. I’ve never been scared of AI, but the megalomaniacs forcing it on us are terrifying. I can’t guarantee they won’t kill us all.

no, there are zero moral arguments and nothing to even start a discussion: someone in a jail does no harm, therefore shouldn't be harmed

rather, give the death penalty to those who administer death penalties it's only fair and morally pristine

these direct comparisons can be overdone, but hers is not a novel line of thought once you’re willing to see some children as just future bloodthirsty savages who’ll try to kill you — therefore its self-defense to kill those kids now — you are already lost and there’s no transgression too far

Q. Will you explain to the Tribunal what conceivable threat to the security of the Wehrmacht a child constituted in your judg-ment?

A. I believe I cannot add anything to your previous question.

I did not have to determine the danger but the order contained that all Jews including the children were considered to constitute a danger for the security of this area.

Q. Will you agree that there was absolutely no rational basis for killing children except genocide and the killing of races?

A. I believe that it is very simple to explain if one starts from the fact that this order did not only try to achieve security, but also permanent security because the children would grow up and surely, being the children of parents who had been killed, they would constitute a danger no smaller than that of the parents.

yeah, I got that general feel the moment I clicked hasn't Loren Schmidt (here on bsky) worked on something similar for quite a long while, a few years back? (unfortunately she has blocked me here for whatever reason)

I think that ultimate edition is gone because Steam now lists a "legendary" one including the upcoming expansion, that is obviously not discounted at all
