Only if you assume that its performance will continue improving for a good while and (at least) linearly. The companies are really struggling to give their models more compute or more training data now and frankly it doesn’t seem like there have been any big strides for a while
It looks magnificent. Did the inside turn out as well as the outside?
I’m never going to actually watch any of the live action Popeye horror films, but it is funny that we immediately got three of them
They can be if you have naan at breakfast!
But to be fair I’m British, so I know bugger all about whether it’s actually a thing in India. The book is from a restaurant heavily inspired by specific cafes in India that took a lot of British and Iranian traditions on board themselves, so it might have been one of those situations where someone made their best effort at a dish from home with the local ingredients
That’s very kind of you to say! I did have quite a bit of fun doing it, I think I will try some more
The SC kickstarter was 2012, but it started development in 2010
Star Citizen has been in development since before both GTA V and goddamn Skyrim released
Em dashes are definitely a less reliable sign in professionally written and edited articles. That’s the context where actual humans will use them most often
I thought I was being so clever making the connections of what I could do with that and it turns out I would actually have been
that one nomai who was way too excited to explode the sun
I haven’t played the Outer Worlds, but isn’t a whole lot of it about making fun of companies doing this kind of stupid shit?
Based on a quick look at some videos showing off the max settings, it doesn’t even look like it’s doing much with all that demand. It looks like a completely normal big budget game
If I had a lot more patience it would be cool to try to recreate one of those slide reels as panels around the pumpkin
It is, yes! I think I should have simplified the hearthian’s design more to make them clearer, but I’m pleased with it overall
I could potentially see something along the lines of giving each civ a “canon” path that sets its abilities and having the aesthetic stuff match your chosen civ the whole way through working. So if you pick the USA to start with then you get American visuals / music / names etc the whole way through, but you automatically get the English bonuses in the appropriate era for that
It’s definitely not. Whatever the flaws in the end result, Firaxis do experiment substantially with their formula. Doing that is actually what caused the complaints this article is about
The idea is that it’s split into three ages and you change your aesthetics and bonuses between each one. So you might go Romans > Spanish > Mexicans in the three eras, for example. The intention is honestly a decent one, I think: make it so that games aren’t functionally over and therefore boring by the halfway point. It’s usually clear who has won long before they actually do win, and the fact that basically nobody ever played the late game meant that late game civs and mechanics were a bit of a waste of time. I don’t have VII though, so I can’t say anything about how it feels in practice
AC Competizione is on UE4’s graphics and in-house physics, so I imagine they’re doing something similar here
The fact that this is actually a bit frustrating to look at is a testament to how well it is done
