  the problem with my NORMAL smartphone is it is TOO MUCH SCREEN. the bezels are so narrow i cant even grip it like a normal object without triggering touches on the screen sides. all buttons have been stripped off for over a decade now and you cannot hold it from the back without glueing an object on the back of your case. i can only reach 50% of my samsung phone screen with my thumb while holding it with one hand, making it a two handed device most of the time already. why in THE WORLD would i want my phone screen BIGGER?? honestly, why? the only thing I can think of is long commutes on a bus? but you can bring tablets… 🤷‍♂️

  this is not a bad point but it also feels a bit like moving the goal posts

  i disagree and think it would have been really neat if they explored that idea. they use the portal gun all the time in Garry’s mod maps and plenty of them have great gameplay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Portal pinball table may be the closest we’re gonna get to Portal 3⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i frankly don’t see anything they could do that wouldn’t be copying mods that already exist.

  imo they should have injected the portal gun into half life 3 and carried it on from there, but I’m just some guy on the internet.

  why do you want it? the story was finished and the characters were resolved well. it’s okay for things to end.

  Please don’t make Portal 3.

  you’re already giving way too much credit to these models. you dont even need emotion for sentience. an iguana is 100% more sentient than any LLM. life is defined as organic matter that reproduces. very far from an llm. “AI” is a misnomer that they don’t bother correcting because it makes it sound magical and lifelike. these models are not aware of the words they are generating. they do not know what word they just typed before the current one. they do not have any concept of thought or ideas as you or me do. they, simply, are not sentient. this would be required for any true “artificial intelligence” because our self awareness is a huge part of human intellect. LLM are tools, not minds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨26 years late but I finally beat Half Life⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t like Black Mesa as much as most. I thought a lot of the charm was lost with the “modernizing” decisions. It just doesn’t look like half life and the enemies don’t behave like half life enemies to me. It looks and plays like a really, really good fan remake. Cuz it is

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If we're living in a simulation, why would the simulation creators allow the sims to ponder and speculate whether or not they live in a simulation?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My best guess: The thought processes required to ponder the possibility of a simulation are too important to the goal of the simulation itself to disable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game of the day - Return of the Obra Dinner - did you enjoy it?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t like it, myself. I played through to the end and found it incredibly tedious for what you got out of the story, which was basically just a tale about a macguffin in the ocean with sea monsters. The biggest complaint was how painful they made navigating the memory scenes. Every time you want to do anything, you first gotta backtrack all over the ship and you gotta wait through these intro and outro cutscenes and music, and it got old very fast for me. I also got tired of the entire gimmick about 25% in, as there is no variation to the puzzles in the game, they are all set up the same—try to identify people based on surroundings and descriptions, 60+ times. The art direction was really impressive at first, but quickly became dull to me around the time the gimmick started the wear thin.

  Tl;dr: it’s admittedly a very creative take on a mystery game, but unfortunately playing through to the end is tedious and lacks needed QoL features.
