A generation of people used a comedian for news, and now they are mad it’s a different comedian.

Facebook is only useful for the ancillary stuff. The main page and status updates have been monetized and engagement hacked to death.

Regular reminder that rules against politics are just rules against questioning the status quo.

Why would Sony get mad that their chip provider is continuing to make better chips?

It’s a little scammy to call it 2.2 and require new cables for functionality. That should be a 3.0 thing.

That’s where an emulator comes in handy, there’s a ton of text to fast forward through in golden sun.

Gen 1 pokemon. It was awesome to experience, but the formula is just better in later versions.

GoldenEye, I did try it years ago, but going back to one stick for a shooter is really awkward.

Wow, I don’t have the time for an MMO anymore and they are a lot less fun after your first experience.

Oblivion and Morrowind, the changes in Skyrim are almost all improvements, and the mod support is better. You can smoothe out the edges of the older games, but it’s a long process I’m not interested in. I’ll stick with find memories.

It’s been a while since I played but from what I remember build/train/upgrade command each had a second page you had to tab to, so some things took 3 buttons instead of 2. This felt really awkward instead of having dedicated basic/advanced buttons.

I think the second level in immortal makes it less intuitive.

The ultimate casual RTS is a moba.

If they pull off what they are promising, it could be interesting, but it doesn’t look like that will happen.

At best it did a good job with the quick macro system. It’s a good way to allow players to have better macro without hurting the skill ceiling for pros.

Even as an RTS fan, I’m starting to think the genre is dead. AOE 3 actually had some nice updates to the genre, they abandoned most of it though. Sc2 improved on the DoW2 campaign, but it’s been nothing since.

Part of the problem is the focus on competitive formats. Pretty much everyone admits it’s the least popular format, but it also gets the most attention. Campaign, comp stomps, and co-op are by far the most popular formats, but they get little or no support. Part of it is the pressure to release so early, and competitive is just easier to focus on while fleshing out mechanics and factions. Another problem is listening to pro players of other games, they don’t know shit about making a good game, they know what they like about an existing game and want that as much as possible.

Another big problem is focusing on players of well established games. The people still playing ladder on SC2 or AOE2 aren’t moving anywhere, there’s probably 20x players that have stopped with those games that would love something new. Instead all that gets released are shallow copies trying to get players to move off a game they’ve played for a decade.

They aren’t context aware, it’s using statistical probability. It can replicate things it’s seen a lot of like a tutorial regex. It can’t apply that to make a more complicated one. Regex in the wild isn’t really standard at all, because it’s rarely used to solve common problems. It has a bunch of random regexs from code it analyzed and will spit something out that looks similar.

If you know even a little about how an LLM works it’s obvious why regex is basically impossible for it. I suspect perl has similar problems, but no one is capable of actually validating that.

You already do that eventually anyway.

If they were related to the original games, yes it would. The patents were about 3d worlds though. I believe the palworld beta was before these patents were filed, so there would be a strong case to invalidate them. It probably won’t happen, because Nintendo’s proposed damages was basically pocket change compared to a legal battle.

It’s still somewhat protected in the US. The big one in table top gaming was tap mechanics from Magic. That expired in 2014 though. In video games the Nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor/war is also patented.

Good movies will do better in theaters, bad movies will cost less with a streaming release. News at 11.

Either BS tolerance or over optimism.

This confirms my suspicion that this was was the end result of a lot of office politics within the university. He apparently missed the “stop publicly criticizing us” memo, and everything after that was just the university forcing him out. It also confirms the common story that a HR is for the company whether is sexual harassment or ethics violations.
