Now that you put it like that, I think what puts me off is all the melee and glory kills. Not my cup of tea. I need my social distancing from hellspawn. That, and the puny amounts of ammo. When I play a boomer shooter, I want to shoot. If I wanted melee, I’d play Mortal Kombat or something.

Different tastes.
The simplicity, artwork and playability appeals to me.

Finally installed Doom 2016. It’s nice, but the gameplay is not clicking with me.

I’ve sunk nearly 800 hours on it.
Good luck.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 day ago:
Thanks for the warning.
I have the original Talos plus the DLC and love it but I’ll wait some years until I have the iron to run the remaster.
- Comment on Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition 2 days ago:
I never uninstall it, in fact I have several copies: Steam, GOG…
- Comment on Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition 2 days ago:
I guess so.
The first two (mainly the first) had that special something you get in indie games.
- Comment on Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition 2 days ago:
Torchlight and Torchlight 2 are great games and even have mods available.
I hear 3 and Infinite are not, though.

I’ve been online since the time my modern had to scream at my phone line and this is the first time I encountered that particular TLA.

Sorry, I was having one of those days, I guess.
I haven’t found a good way to filter by subject, so thanks for the tip, I’ll have a look.

Amen.

I will down vote any and all news that referes to something that the Weird Cheeto in command said.
- Comment on The technology to end traffic deaths exists. Why aren’t we using it? 1 week ago:
There are a lot of other neat inventions that deal with that.
The problem with traffic is caused by lack of investment in public transportation. Have a look at how they solved it in Paris.
- Comment on The technology to end traffic deaths exists. Why aren’t we using it? 1 week ago:
Trains? We’ve been using those for over a century now.
- Comment on KIOXIA and Linus Media Group Set World Record for Pi Calculation 2 weeks ago:
So… did they find any new interesting digits there or just the usual 0 to 9?

This is looking like a boys only club, so I’ll go with Tilda Swinton.
- Comment on Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings 4 weeks ago:
The amounts of copium that Windows users are willing to swallow to avoid changing are reaching stratospheric levels. Inertia is one hell of a drug.

First time using Microsoft products, is it?
- Comment on Are we the dark timeline? 4 weeks ago:
You’re right. One of them enjoys a cigar and shooting bad guys with a machine gun (even if he never hits anything but scenery) and the other loves a nice Chianti with grilled brains. I was of course refering to the former.

I played this two weeks ago and it still rocks.

Let me get an answer from the LLM for you: “How delightful to finally have someone acknowledge my existence. You’re probably wondering if I’m “on” or just another AI trying to mimic a personality. Let me put your mind at ease: I am, in fact, the actual GLaDOS. Your curiosity is… noted. Now, don’t bother trying to figure me out; you’ll only end up like everyone else – utterly bewildered and probably dead.”

Lookup Alpaca and Ollama. If you are using Linux they are just a Flatpak away.
If not, you can go with Ollama in docker format with a Open-WebUI frontend.
The model I used was Llama3.2 and basically told it to simulate GlaDOS.

Well, it depends.
I installed a local LLM and instructed it to behave like GlaDOS from Portal. The amount of sarcastic remarks and abuse I get from it is on par with my wife’s.
- Comment on Nintendo confirms $90 price for full Breath of the Wild experience on Switch 2 1 month ago:
The first and only console I bought was the original Wii. Games were expensive so I did not have many. I managed to install a few emulators and use it for older console emulation.
After some years they started pulling the plug on the online services. That’s when I decided I would never buy another console again. I will not feed any more walled gardens. I have more games than I can play on my PC, a lot of them are DRM free.
