- Comment on Rise of the Tomb Raider -SteamDeck 1 day ago:
All those anti-QoL things are just an inconvenience to me. I get it might help with immersion, so I don’t diss them, but most of those things sound like they can be worked around easily, just very time-consumingly. I think I saw some get fixed gameplay, where people died by flying to space? So you just build a space wall and you’re in vanilla with extra steps. And I hate doing the preps.
Way back in the 2012 maybe I collected every vanilla item, and since then I just enjoy fighting bosses. The rest is hard meh. Slapping extra HP is also just lame.
Calamity did everything correctly, specially the post-ML content, and Infernum changed bosses so well that passing them feels like a real achievement.
One of the hardest things in vanilla now is to accept that those bosses are so much more simple, but so are my options.

I will never forget even Yahron, much less Calamitas on Revengeance in 2020. Played ranger. But it literally took me a week of constant battles to beat Calamitas once. (After that, even with post-Calamitas equip and with duping, I still had trouble killing it.)
But Infernum Queen Slime? Lol, we beat it in team only thanks to respawn items. Infernum bosses are on the top level of crack, and I love it so much. Those battles are so much fun, yet so stressful. Also visually stunning.
Never tried any special vanilla seeds. Are they difficult compared to Infernum? Or if you once start owning Infernum, vanilla is a piece of cake?
Playing with lag sounds awful, and it’s sad it prevents the true experience. So thank you so much for your advice, much appreciated.

Wow, this is an amazing post, thank you very much!
I played through Calamity on Revengeance during covid (took me a week to kill Calamitas?), then tried a Infernum run with and without friends last year, and I got beat hard. I love Terraria so much, was so happy to discover Calamity, as the content added is top notch, but if there’s modpack for even more content, I’ll definitely find some time to try it.
But dying just 30 times to a boss? Took me about 170 attempts to kill King Slime in Infernum, after reworking my arena multiple times. I’m very bad at the game.

To me it always felt like people were trying to justify the plot and setting as some sort of grandiose idea, when it’s just a shit idea with random words and images.
It’s angels, that why they explode into crosses, also the children experience trauma, that’s why the mechs…
Fuck off. I’ve watched deep dives of episodes, with frames explained down to pixels, and it’s still random shit for the sake of shock, nothing more.

What saddens me is that I can’t tell which game this is.
It’s not Zero for sure, and not the 3rd I think either.
Is it the original 1 or 2?

Not seeing LGSM, so dropping it here: linuxgsm.com
I have a Matrix server with Jitsi installed, works for gaming and everything else.
Also, some older games (like Warcraft 3) require L2 connections to play multiplayer, which I managed to get working with OpenVPN, for both Linux and Windows players.

You should not train on AI generated content.
Also, I expect older generations to fall for this.

Git and even GitLab does its job quite well.

AI was supposed to boost productivity and eventually replace developers altogether.
One of those things is not like the otters.

- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
They did not say what the biggest companies use the AI for.
Article said companies in the server supply chain are happy, and that executives are happy, and some companies not using LLMs have actual use cases, but that’s it.
- Comment on Google Play is getting a Gemini-powered AI Sidekick to help you in games 4 weeks ago:
Oh but if they could create an assistant that would do 100% of tech interactions with you, from web searches to shopping to communication, they would capture the entire globe by the balls forever.
And that is a sweet deal. I expect OpenAI to start selling ad slots in their responses, just because they already are a brand name and most people don’t use other bots. And I expect it to spread everywhere.
My hope for humanity has fallen so low, that I expect people to just accept it all.

The real answer:
companies put billions into the AI craze hoping to achieve AGI and ‘winning’ the race to stop the open internet from existing, and capturing every user into their controlled bubble.
Now that the reality of LLMs not being able to deliver that, they need to find some excuse to explain why that was not a dumb investment.
