Weird.

I’d have expected Assassin’s Creed Odyssey achievements to be added to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

It does? I should watch the show.

It does? I should watch the show.

I’m sure I have accepted many different things as likely without rigorous proof. Reality and my understanding of it don’t exactly match. Quantum level chaos significantly affecting neurons is a new idea to me, though.

I don’t.

But I’m about to ensure nobody ever gets to buy any Winnie the Pooh stuff ever again. I will obliterate every trace.
I have my reasons.

First statement is a bit of an exaggeration, don’t you think? We already predict a lot with useful accuracy.

But I get that in some things, chaos inhibits useful prediction.

Surfing an internet full of randomly generated “viruses” that mostly do nothing, but sometimes change things?

I’ve personally accepted that it’s basically predictable/deterministic, but due to how complicated and unknowable the system is there’s no practical way for an outside observer to get all the information.

I’m guessing the lower resolution imaging methods might still allow more or less accurate prediction, though? We don’t need to know the details on every air molecule to do fairly accurate weather forecasting, so maybe the same approach can work to predict mindweather. Maybe it’s possible to know a person’s brain well enough and accurately adjust predictions very fast after random encounters/events influencing them – like the people they meet, the things they see, and a myriad of other things – and in that way get something more and more capable of predicting behavior?

I don’t really know much about either field, though.

Not inaccurate, if it’s analogous to preemptively defending or disclaiming something about whatever point you’re trying to make, trying to avoid the downvotes and questioning that follow if you offend or confuse too many redditors.

He’s claiming Twitter is more or less “hardcore” and requires a certain level of mental fortitude to stick with. Instagram much less so.

I don’t know how Bloodborne compares to Dark Souls, so I don’t get what he thinks the distinction is there.

Yeah this new stock of devs just don’t have it in them to deliver anything great. Their values and language likely prevent them from even considering something more visceral. Wouldn’t be surprised if most of them have lived such uninteresting lives they have nothing to draw from. That’s at least what they write like.

Seems they don’t know why their hero kills, they don’t believe in the culling the player enacts. They’d probably rather he didn’t.

They seem like they’d prefer to make Animal Crossing in space, they don’t really want to write about empire, conquest, terrible crimes, deep-seated hate. Ending threats.

They don’t even want to know how the tools of the trade work. Just look at the animations for the models, you can tell that whoever worked on then feared being put on an FBI watchlist if they looked up a video on how pump action shotguns work.

These kinds of dev teams are fully incapable of writing good villains and a cast of characters with wildly different moralities that are grounded in something real.

They’re not interested in combat games. They shouldn’t touch them. They should leave and make room for those who want to.

Too fucked up and funny for contemporary audiences.

You can have a commune of wiccans represented respectfully in the game, with a soup making minigame, a small patch for planting and harvesting vegetables you can use, and a short quest chain featuring a little “theatre” performance event near the end, where you get to play the role of one of the fae. You even get a “play dead” button. The commune will feature interesting and iconic characters with appropriate jokes.

Nothing unhealthy about that. Video games, crying and arson are the holy trinity of our generation. It’s just contemporary culture.

NFS Heat felt good. Just a good game.

Everything between Heat and the first Most Wanted (I think?) was trash, I looked at reviews and played demos and saw nothing but garbage and usually a frontend for a microtransaction model.

I’m one of those who didn’t buy Unbound because the theme ended up being a bit of a gimmick, they didn’t lean into it enough to make it cool, they held back and delivered something unexciting.

That must be more right than what I used to think, because it’s certainly not any kind of freedom.

I don’t think there’s a place in the West that demands more obedience and denies more freedoms in the average man’s life than USA does.

If humans did literally nothing ever at all, the world would be teeming with a lot more life.

The question in my mind is more about whether the local environment serves us without sacrificing too much of the natural environment, and a high maintenance cosmetic lawn doesn’t serve me or nature at all.

It’s creative writing from a sad pro bono comedian bro, the green shirt and brown pants? Come on

“Let the old games DIE!”

Love the communist gay furry part of it, the digital part not so much.
