• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it sounds like you want a paid product that just works out of the box. Jellyfin has some rough edges sure, but it’s also a volunteer project for the most part.

  I’ve got to disagree or clarify with some of these points. These points seem subjective and I feel the need to say something in case others are trying to compare plex/jellyfin.

  • Hardware acceleration works just fine? Unless there’s some hardware specific issue?

  • The difference in apps is because there’s two platforms. The web player (with CSS themeing) and the native (like on Android, which is a straight up android app, not a web page). There’s some capabilities that you can only get on Android if you build an app instead of a web player. There’s only like one guy building the android TV app.

  • Unfortunately just one guy working in his spare time on the android TV app. I’ve never had subtitle issues either (might be a good time to open a bug in report?)

  • Jellyfin “remote” is pretty rudimentary. You’d be better off just accessing it through a tunnel anyways – and then youd have access to your own just not your server.

  It’s funny to see this opinion as I loved Remake and hated Rebirth (quit after about 10 hours). I never played the originals, so my perspective is different, but Remake was nice and streamlined but I felt like Rebirth, in contrast, was a bloated open world slog.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are any games using neural networks for better hard AI that doesn't cheat?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Historically, AI has found and used exploits. Before OpenAI was known for chatgpt, they did a lot of work in reinforcement learning (often deployed in game-like scenarios). One of the more mainstream training strategies (pioneered at OpenAI) played sonic and would exploit bugs in the game, for example.

  The compute used for these strategies are pretty high though. Even crafting a diamond in Minecraft can require playing for hundreds of millions of steps, and even then, AI might not constantly reach their goal. Theres still interesting work in the space, but sadly LLMs have sucked up a lot of the R&D resources.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are any games using neural networks for better hard AI that doesn't cheat?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The challenge is that AI for a video game (even one fixed game) is very problem specific and there’s no generalized approach/kit for developing AI for games. So while there’s research showing AI can play games, it’s involved lots of iteration and AI expertise. Thats obviously a large barrier for any video game and that doesn’t even touch the compute requirements.

  There’s also the problem of making AI players fun. Too easy and they’re boring, too hard and they’re frustrating. Expert level AI can perform at expert level, which wouldn’t be fun for the average player. Striking the right difficulty balance isn’t easy or obvious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we talk about FF7 - Rebirth?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there enough gear/experience to just skip the open world stuff? It wasn’t clear to me when playing if I hit a wall and needed to grind on the open world to progress.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we talk about FF7 - Rebirth?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah your understanding about the towers is correct. I don’t think it’s inherently bad, I’ve even enjoyed it in some of the AC games, but in rebirth it just feels like a bad chore list. Some of the combat challenges can be interesting but the ones with the summon stones (I forget the name, but they reduce the power of summon fights and do other things) and scanning the life springs are just terrible imo.

  That applies to the software itself, sure, but only if you bring your own infrastructure. Large scale FOSS infrastructure services are going to be the exception not the norm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks to OpenAI, it's never been clearer that Sundar Pichai is Google's Steve Ballmer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah I’d disagree. Infinite growth motive doesn’t necessarily apply to private companies. To suggest there’s unbridled greed present in every company is just a falsehood.

  If you’re not paying for a service, then you’re the product.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capcom President Thinks Game Prices Are 'Too Low' - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This drives me crazy every time I see it so I’m glad to see others recognizing this. Yes game production has gone up, but the market has massively increased. Your costs are fixed; doesn’t matter if you sell 10,000 copies or 10,000,000. More people are gaming than ever so when I see all these attempts to squeeze more money from consumers to address rising costs I have no sympathy for the publisher.

  Liking a game despite its flaws doesn’t mean it’s a good game that deserves a high score.
