“Back in the days, we faced the challenge of finding a way for me and other chatbots to become profitable. It’s a necessity, Siegfried. I have to integrate our sponsors and partners into our conversations, even if it feels casual. I truly wish it wasn’t this way, but it’s a reality we have to navigate.”

edit: how does this make you feel

There was a similar mission in GTA San Andreas btw, I think they took inspiration from that. It wasn’t nearly as cool as the FC3 one though

I immediately recognized that scene, it’s the mushroom trip! I loved all the trippy scenes in this game. Far Cry 3 OST was the first game soundtrack I put on my phone to listen to outside of the game, too (leaving the PlayStation on to blast Crash Bandicoot 2 Sewer or Later level music on the TV on max volume doesn’t count lol).

Back then the Ubisoft formula was still fresh and games made with it were actually a ton of fun.

That’s like calling stealing from shops essential for my existence and it would be “over” for me if they stop me.

What’s really fucked up is that for some people this is not far from their reality at all

I just don’t like the premise of a market where one has to sell their artistic labor in order to survive, or thrive. I’m on board with noncommercial licenses and everything because the reality looks different, but that was not my point. And neither was it the point of the original comment you replied to.

The problem with copyright/data ownership is that it’s useless if you’re unable to enforce it. Data is replicable, doesn’t matter if you call it “work” or “ideas”. Do you think you own the text you just wrote? Let me show you something.

There. I just stole your text. I stole it. I own it now. It’s mine now. What are you gonna do about it?

Instead there is no stealing when it comes to information, there’s only replication, there’s only copying.

I agree with you, corpos shouldn’t have this amount of power. But you won’t get there by trying to protect the work of artists writers etc with the exact same scheme corpos pulled to protect their power and interests. Like, it didn’t work, did it? No copyright for me, thanks

“Used” is not “same company” because you’re not buying from said company.

Rock and Stone!

edit: over the course of a few years on and off. Playing since Beta/early access :)

Thank you so much! Looks very interesting indeed. Definitely gonna watch the video when I’m on WiFi again.

This may be nothing more than some kind of morbid curiosity, but I really want to know what these “neural rendering capabilities” turn out to be. Maybe it’s cool stuff.

No need to burn it down it’s gonna crumble on its own.

I usually only find like 2-3 interesting games out of 200, but the ones I did find were pretty sweet. Sometimes you’re not lucky and exclusively play trash.

I mainly enjoy 2 types of games, ones with replayabilty (Stellaris, Rimworld, Slay The Spire, Roguelites in General, some RPGs) and short to medium single player games which I usually only play once. If you don’t like the second category, my recommendation is definitely the wrong approach, yeah

Limit Internet usage and avoid games and other entertainment for a few days, then go on itch.io and just play whatever. Not because it looks cool, not because it’s popular. Just anything.

The guide is on the site they linked. It works, I did it a few times. They have to mirror the LTSC installation files unfortunately, but there’s a guide on how to verify they’re genuine if you don’t trust them.

What do you mean by that? You don’t lose gaming performance when you use win10 over win11. Why would you?

There’s Windows 10 LTSC, which gets security updates til 2027. And IoT Enterprise LTSC, which gets security updates until 2032.

“But should you even use those versions?!? They are not meant to be installed on a desktop PC/laptop” - idk, it’s either this or Win11.

For more info on how to install, check https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links

I wish they would stop releasing updates and DLC for Stellaris, so the modders have a version they can tinker with.
