Concrete goals, and reasonable steps to achieve them.
I feel like lately we’ve hit a weird speculative investment period in tech, where we have a bunch of tech that’s created because it can be, but not because it’s needed. Do LLMs, crypto currency, or NFTs have actual uses? Very possibly, but nothing concrete enough to satisfy the bubble that formed from them.
We live in an age of unreality. Give us something achievable and genuine, we get excited. It doesn’t have to be complicated, just real. Hell, I’m excited as fuck over solid sodium batteries, and that’s boring as shit.
Yeah I wouldn’t. It’s not really the same kind of game ultimately, and the time investment you need to grasp it can be a lot, even for someone like me who played DOTA and shooters way too much.
If you can get into it though, it’s a real banger so far.
I legit have never been more happy to be unemployed.
Are you hungry?
I don’t know if I’d go as far with my personal tastes, but I know for sure ds3 makes me stressed out. I think the combat system is far too fast and roll centric to be enjoyable to me. DS2 is just a nice adventure and sometimes I need that despite its flaws.
I recently replayed it. It’s kind of a weird one, but yes I’d say worth 5 bucks even as a window into the past.
The interrogation gameplay mechanics are a bit vague and difficult to understand exactly how to make the game do what you want, or even what you think the entire mechanic does, but to its credit it doesn’t usually give you a hard game over when you make mistakes. I failed an interrogation for example, but I got a few extra scenes of comedy that I didn’t see last time when I succeeded.
It pioneered facial capture in video games, but it’s out of sync with the rest of the body animation. Combine that with the low res textures and it’s a bit uncanny at times. Fascinating to see given where motion and facial capture is today though.
Iirc literally the nuclear launch systems? I’ll see if I can find the article.
Edit: not anymore, but as recent as about 2019ish. Can’t imagine they’re the only ancient infrastructure still using this level of technology though. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/24/us/nuclear-weapons-floppy-disks.html
Well how else are they going to justify strip searching minors?
I’ve been doing the same thing, if the performance of a game feels like it could be better I slap that shit in there and it often drops GPU usage by at least half, it’s frankly ridiculous.
I don’t hate the technology, I hate that I cannot chose where and when to use it. Consent is quite important.
God I hope so, but the next thing will likely be even more stupid than this, NFTs and crypto.
Stupid as this is, at least he worked it out? I’m a little impressed.
I agree with this. We already have a situation where we don’t have feasible alternatives to the primary method, Google search comes to mind. With Linux, even if every company in the world goes down, nerds will still want to play with the technology.
Oh for sure, I was kind of meaning the whole concept of worth and how we’ve become this weird cult of potential worshipping tech priests, but yes also that.
God I’m fucking sick of this loss leading speculative investment bullshit. It’s hit some bizarre zenith that has infected everybody in the tech world, but nobody has any actual intention of being practical in the making of money, or the functionality of the product. I feel like we should just can the whole damned thing and start again.
Random story, in one mission while I was searching a database for a client, I fat fingered the name and it gave me back a different person’s record
IT WAS MY FULL REAL LIFE NAME
Spooked the shit out of me.
Honestly with how that company is going you might be better off getting a cheap rig and installing your favourite flavour of Linux. I’m still salty their implementation of surround sound and video decoding can’t use the actual power of the chip it’s running on.
Fuck me sometimes I felt like I was the only person on the planet to play that game
I feel called out by this but also so seen.
