I remember seeing the headlines but they were already sold out when I went to look :(

I remember playing an RPG back in the day called “Dink Smallwood” on my old Macintosh laptop, it was one of the few games that were Mac compatible. Really funny and self aware dialogue, pretty great! I found out there’s an app version of it for mobile

Update: Looks like Burnie came out of the woodworks and purchased the rights to Rooster Teeth! Even if they just archive everything (if they haven’t already) I’m happy they have the rights back again

And what’s funny is that the solution is to lick the coating off either sides of the battery to get them to work.

Did any of you guys see those Skyrim AI NPC mods that were floating around YouTube around a year ago? I think they kept getting taken down for some reason.

But honestly it convinced me that that’s a good way to go. They were able to detect what the player was doing. For instance, if you dropped a sword on the ground, they would be like “hey don’t forget that iron greatsword on your way out”. You could also ask it for advice on how to complete your quest or what they knew about someone.

If the AI is somehow locked to only knowing information about the video game they’re in, it could really boost the immersion I think. But I think they should have to use a real voice actor to train the AI to mimic their voice or something like that.

I remember hearing the football player Troy Polamalu insured his long hair because everyone kept grabbing it to tackle him

From the videos of Skyrim AI mods I’ve seen, I don’t think it’s that far off. At least for your basic, run-of-the-mill NPCs. They’re already able to know if you take off all your clothes and will ask you stuff like “hey we don’t allow that in here” or “you must be cold”.

We can’t be that far off from a truly immersive RPG game

“one of the first to take mobile audio quality seriously”

Is this referring to iPods? If so, then I agree. Hell, the first gen iPods are super sought after because they can use FLAC audio files. Although Apple has their own “lostless” audio codec now, so idk if it’s that big of a deal.

AirPods? Sure it’s impressive the noice canceling features in such a small package, but Bluetooth audio was nothing new and now they’re required because Apple removed the headphone jack.

I loved my 2017 LG ThinQ because it not only had a headphone jack, but it had a built in audio DAC to provide extra power to my Sennheiser studio headphones and it sounded soooo good.

Yeah I agree, despite all the recent events, I’m still not worried at all about flying. The number of car crash complications I watch on YouTube make me extra cautious while driving, but I’ve never felt in danger while flying, even in heavy turbulence

Wait, so when I politely “ask app not to track”, they might still be tracking me? No way!
