Amazing as always. I have no intention of getting switch 2 ($$$ and we have a steam deck) but the new James Bond game trailer is making it tough.

I wanted to share my home screen; thought you might appreciate it. I stole one of those pixel art cityscapes you shared and might put it to use:

The message cycles Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Night, Good Lord (for when I really should be asleep).

On a road trip driving/exploring the coast right now, so I’m not getting any gaming in. I hope that cabin provides some peace and relaxation for you!

In this case, someone would have to sue or otherwise intervene. But that action is radically unpopular. Nobody wants to be that guy.

I want to hard agree with Apple that people are, in fact, too stupid to choose their own apps, but not following Apple’s greedy logic.

Look at the top apps and sites people use. The tech billionaires. It’s stupid as hell

The gaming magazines were fun and all, but your posts take me days to get through because you really sell me on wanting to deep dive into everything, and you even provide links to exacerbate the situation!

Very nice work. These posts are genuinely my favorite thing I look forward to on Lemmy.

I finally started death stranding! I got goosebumps the first time I was out on a mission and the camera backed away letting you just experience the scenery and music. And then so scary when, you know, it’s scary. Great at setting the mood. It’s beautiful

Santa’s Red suit was a staple, at least in American advertising, for decades before coca cola did it

I really want to use Piefed, but Voyager app is so, so good

I like to read this as if he passed out right after thinking it was a ruse. In real life, people witnessed creepy 4chan approaching a woman on the street and reacted appropriately

At least in the US, I’m absolutely destroyed that people just don’t care. They talk like they care, but they just fucking don’t. I don’t get it at all. They will gripe about how evil and bad something is, then just keep using it. “If everyone else is, so will I” maybe. Group Inertia.

The fact they keep doing it leads me to believe we’re missing several instances where they’ve gotten away with it

I took my dad for cancer radiation treatment. While in the waiting room, this little old lady came in. I saw her struggling to remove a necklace and offered to help. She had really tangled herself in it trying to get it on (definitely in a “chemo brain” mind fog).

She answered her phone, and I heard a very obvious scam on the other line. I tried telling her, and at first she tried to explain to me that I was wrong, it was some kind helpful people. I took the phone from her and confirmed it was a scam. I told the staff at the clinic but that was about all I figured I could do.

This Ai maybe could have helped. Maybe.

Same

I meant that fabrication doesn’t imply intent as “lies” would.

It seems like you use the hallucinations term correctly, when output has no relation to input.

In this case, as in many numerous others, the Ai took input of “cite a source” and did as output cite a source as requested, but invented the content of the source. It fabricated, which means to make up, create.

Fabricate does not imply intent to deceive, where lie does.

I will agree that if the output is purely unrelated to the input, hallucination is still fine, but is absolutely a romanticized term when we’re referring to this computer generated code… It’s literally personification.

I like fabrication going forward. Clearly made up, doesn’t imply intent

Ok then, staying the course! Also two questions…

I can’t find best answer for Death Stranding: Should I go mouse & keyboard or controller?

And what country did you end up in?

I have to stop reading these. I finally just got Death Stranding installed to play this weekend, but now I’m eyeing expedition 33 because it looks beautiful. I feel like a week from now you’ll have me pulled another direction!

I’ve learned that I’m sometimes scrolling on my app and accidentally trigger the swipe-to-like function. Just a thought for random, weird down votes.

Literally yes. Yes they do

If it follows clickbait pattern it is clickbait, whether you personally felt baited or not

Writing “This game” instead of the game’s name has literally only one possible intention.

I love reader mode. I Use it to bypass pay walls, too Did someone say something?

I don’t think Lemmy users are representative of their target demographic. The vast majority of people seem to just put up with ads
