Just be careful, they can be fun but they aren’t the real deal, but I also won’t say don’t use them either. They’re meant to have fun with, not be a dependency. That being said, I’d be curious if they can help direct with communicating. I know for me I get frusturated when I say something and it comes off a completely different way. Having your character define when that happens and why would be interestesting

Fun project, but don’t get lost in it. I’m seeing people start to lose grips on reality by talking with AI too much because they’re lonely. Not directly saying that you are, I had fun with it, but… Weird times

Don’t go back. Geralt’s relationship is… complicated. Personally I’m a Yennifer fan, mostly because of Geralt’s history with Triss. Triss knew that Geralt’s memory was gone a while back and took advantage of that, even though she knew that Geralt really was with Yennifer. So… I was always salty.

That being said, this is a game I recommend playing again someday. So just choose Triss next time. Enjoy Yenn, IMO they compliment each other well vs Triss who is just obsessed. Triss’ relationship isn’t as healthy

Is that the guy with a friend?

So, schlepping it off on other instance owners, so they host it, which as you say is not easy or cheap.

Guess I’ll never own AC shadows or any game of theirs. If I must, I’ll treat their games as rentals. And I never pay over 20 for a rental.

Why not just use an actual federated blogging service like write freely?

Yeah, but it’s always been a license. I’ve never been unaware of that, it’s only now that publishers are starting to abuse that fact that they’re making it obvious. Again, I’ve never been burned by valve, so I trust them. Maybe that’ll change some day, but for now, that’s why they’re doing better.

And here I just read another post here about how gaming journalists are surprised their industry is dying

It’s because valve has always been transparent about it. They’ve also put in place a lot of protections for gamers, which is why I trust their store. Their stuff is also a license, but I have yet to see something pulled out of my inventory. Actually there was a game once, and it was a Ubisoft game now that I think of it. I believe that’s when they put in more protections.

Ubisoft wants to make everything cloud dependent and then want us to be happy that we can’t play our games anymore. They lost all of my trust. If it’s not a purchase, then it’s a rental in my eyes, and I’d never pay more than $20 for a rental.

Honestly not a bad idea. He could slap SpaceX on half the ships, and the timelines of star citizen releasing are about the same as SpaceX getting to Mars

We had 12 years or so of “GTA 6 RELEASE DATE ANNOUNCED” with bs content reading “we currently do not know when it will be announced, but here are our guesses”.

Their clickbait game was a short term win and everyone knew it. Long term they destroyed their names chasing the profits.

Long term friends we see here

Sounds like it may be time for some creative licensing

Azure, AWS, and GCP all literally have tools to drag and drop and train a model.

They have plenty of artwork to make their own Bowser model, or Mario model. Llms and image generators are AI, AI is not only LLMs and image generators. Anyone can create a new model of content they own, and they have plenty.

Not bad, it’s growing on me. I like how obvious the express trains are

But safer than driving.

I think that’s my point, that they’ve built such a easy to use trustworthy store that everyone just buys it because what’s the point of stealing anything from them. Vs Nintendo when that’s the first thing people start working on.

Then they’re all shocked Pikachu that people are so determined to emulate them. You know what games aren’t being jailbroken en masse right now? Steam games. Because the store has been trustworthy since day one. They may break that trust but it hasn’t happened yet.
