My impression as an atheist is that there is no special sauce that makes human intelligence impossible to achieve. It will happen eventually.

Our brains are computers made of meat. Nothing more. Our thoughts, our dreams, our consciousness itself is quite literally just chemicals, hormones and synapses instead of circuits, binary code and wiring. There is no soul that would prevent true life from arising once the computing becomes powerful enough for it.

Not in a million years.

There is no such thing as a perfectly accurate touch pad “click”. Most people (myself included) tend to see their finger slip (even just a millimeter) to the right or the left when pressing down to click on a touchpad. It leads to go knows how many times that my cursor in the middle of typing has suddenly jumped to a completely different line. In fact, it’s why they implemented the option to turn off the touchpad when typing.

So now let’s introduce ANOTHER use to that part of the keyboard. Not only do we have to deal with a wandering cursor, but we have to deal with random spaces popping into existence every time we try to scroll.

Screw that.

So look…as a sometime writer, I’m all for using 12 words when 5 will do sometimes.

But this entire article is just a dozen paragraphs to say “Elder Scrolls doesn’t isn’t different enough from other fantasy series to standout, unlike Fallout, which was a fresh world on television.”

Historically:

• XCom - Enemy within (with Long War mod)
• Kerbal Space Program
• Crusader Kings 2
• Rimworld

“Here’s literally all the things… You sort it out, if you want. If not…whatever.”

What is that, about tree-fiddy American?

Well no shit. He figured out that as long as you never “release” a finished game, you’re not going to be blamed for “bugs” while still collecting money on in-game purchases.

There’s a reason he made sure that the in-game store was perfected and ready to go long before the game was anywhere near completed. It’s been the plan ever since he and his team realized that the ultimate scope was likely out of their reach.

Aren’t there alternative file explorers for Windows? Or did support for that kind of thing end with Windows 7?

Are you even a Linux user if you don’t randomly wonder what operating system the person in front of you in traffic prefers? It’s a good thing that this person says “wonder no more.”

The rational person in me knows that IQ as a metric of intelligence has long since been proven to be bullshit pseudoscience.

But the anti-american in me is just going to turn that part of my brain off and chuckle for a few moments…

Is that what that is?! It just randomly started happening and I thought an update screwed up my compositor.

So with that question answered, how the hell do I turn it off, because it’s annoying as hell.

I’m honesty sitting here trying to remember the last Ubisoft game I actually enjoyed. And I mean truly “couldn’t put down” enjoyed. Some of the older Assassin’s Creed games were fun, but the same endless gameplay loop was meh, even then.

I’d almost have to go back all the way to those original Rainbow Six games for something that felt (to me) fresh and innovative.

You mean making the exact same cookie-cutter game loop for more than a decade isn’t a good idea!?

Every single one of us, as kids, learned the concept of “garbage in, garbage out”; most likely in terms of diet and food intake.

And yet every AI cultist makes the shocked pikachu face when they figure out that trying to improve your LLM by feeding it on data generated by literally the inferior LLM you’re trying to improve, is an exercise in diminishing returns and generational degradation in quality.

Why has the world gotten both “more intelligent” and yet fundamentally more stupid at the same time? Serious question.

Why would you assume the Engineers are “made”.

Seems to me they’d just be another humanoid species that evolved from a puddle of amino acids on some homeworld somewhere, just like we did.

Please don’t lump us all together.

I loved the original. But there is no doubt that both the movie and the original graphic novel were thematically “of the 90s”.

Goth, dark lighting, tortured hero, etc…

Basically a Marilyn Manson video.

The remake bombed for the same reason a 1950s beach movie would bomb. It doesn’t fit in the current world of pop culture.

God how badly do I want to see a remaster/remake. So under rated. With a bit more fleshing out (It’s a pretty short, pretty linear experience) it could easily compete with the mechanics in Homeworld.

I’m thinking older school gay stuff where men used to marry women for society and then fuck around with men outside of the marriage) means she is a marriage of convenience.

Freddie was 100% pan. It wasn’t a relationship of convenience. That’s on record, actually. I recall an interview where he said that she was probably of the greatest loves of his life.

Freddie wasn’t gay, straight, bi, etc… He was Freddie.

Our point of sale software doesn’t work with it. So they blocked the update until it does.
