If you like video game history you might enjoy this video from Vox. Quake’s custom keyboard mapping settings (unique for the time) was a big development in gaming. One gamer’s personal settings config became popular and ultimately established the WASD control scheme that has been basically the standard since.
I played the hell out of the shareware version, and begged my dad to get the full game , at which point I blazed through all the difficulties. It was the first game that I eventually 100%ed. I was psyched to get it and be able to play it on steam and was surprised how much I remembered.
Mostly for nostalgic reasons, it’s one of my favorite games of all time.
Agreed. It’s a great game. I wish it had more variability in puzzles or solutions to give it more replay value. I got it right when it came out and still feel like it’s too fresh in memory to go through it again.
I went there last year! It’s absolutely gorgeous and totally worth the trip. We signed up for a private tour with a driver from Innsbruck and she was fantastic. Before our scheduled tour time, she walked us around the grounds, showed us some off-trail lookout points and we got amazing photos from it. It’s definitely worth spending a day there, and plan on walking around the town after seeing the castle, and leave time to check out one of the local restaurants for pretzels or brats and beer.
Lemmy, meet my babies, George and Lucille
Lucille likes to sleep in very awkward positions
George thinks nobody notices when he slowly backs up and sits on my husband’s lap.
Is that a great Dane pup? She’s beautiful!
I would also recommend Pandora. I’ve had a family plan for years so I don’t know for sure but there used to be a free (ad supported) tier that you could check out. And to reiterate comments from above, custom playlists and song/album play on demand is available (though some tracks are only available in discovery mode).
This doesn’t appear as bad as some of the other ai legal stuff. Formatting references isn’t really about generating content as much as structuring it and AI (usually) doesn’t have the kind of problems with hallucinations when just tasked with reorganizing data. I’ve used GPT for reformatting references to APA style and it worked really well. I’m surprised Claude couldn’t handle this task.
Also bummed that there doesn’t appear to be a book called a statisticians guide to making inferences with noisy data, because that sounds like a book worth checking out.
Wow this does make me feel old. Even if it was staged it was a great time for the internet.
With everything Nintendo is putting those guys through, I’m glad to see they are still putting work into Palworld. I kind of want to get it just to show support.
Yikes. As nice as it would be to have an extra $2500, I can’t imagine a scenario in which using this jackwad’s platform is a good idea.
Here’s a few ideas of games that I think will work on your system. Putting in some variety since it looks like you play different game styles.
FPS- Wolfenstein New Colossus, Old Blood and New Order (Skip Youngblood)
Stealth -Dishonored 2, Styx Master of Shadows
Dungeon crawler/roguelike - Cult of the Lamb
Rpg/Turn based combat - South Park stick of truth
I know fortnite is a behemoth in gaming and makes about 10 billion gazillion dollars, but it seems like they are putting all their eggs in that basket without any plans for afterward. Every game falls out of style, and fortnite will too eventually. Maybe they’re thinking about this internally but it just seems like they are putting themselves in a corner if they don’t adequately support UE for non-fortnite use cases.
It seems like they are building to appease the AI farms now.
Unless they get creative this likely won’t do anything but piss off the human users. Research from a couple years ago found that bots are better than people at captchas.
This is sort of the way ::: spoiler spoiler The Wrath of Becky ends. After exacting her revenge for the second time, she gets approached by a CIA person who basically offers her a job as a field agent/professional killer and she ends up getting support ro take out one final bad guy with a flipping tank. It’s a satisfying ending for the movie and for Becky. :::
If you haven’t seen those movies, they’re worth checking out. They’re like 2 hours of revenge/justice porn, very violent and gory but entertaining.
Yes, and even with Valve doing some great things for gaming, it’s important to note that we all will benefit from Valve having meaningful competition from Epic and GOG. If gamers spread their money around, service providers will do more to earn it.
Isn’t this charging model the same reason Kindle stopped allowing in app purchases? I thought they had said it was a Google play store thing though. Is Google doing it too or is there pricing something different?
Here’s the main one I used to get started.
I’ve started one on creating abstract art in Affinity that seems pretty good and I have a few others in my learning queue from him on specific parts of affinity that look really good but I haven’t done yet.
Him and Lindsey Marsh have a bunch of content out there on the whole suite. I took Lindsey’s course on graphic design theory that was pretty good but that course used adobe so i used it more for general concepts. I think either of them would be a good place to start.
I would actually be okay with libraries having those AI services. Even if they were available only for a fee it would be absurdly low and still waived for people with low or no income.
