Explains why windows has been such garbage. Remember when windows 10 was advertised as the last windows? Lol

I did really like Obra Dinn! I thought I might not due to the theme of the game and the color pallette but those worries were gone after playing it. It was a lot of fun piecing the story together. I played both Obra Dinn and Blue Prince with my spouse and I think it made it more enjoyable for me because I tend to hyper focus in on like random details or I’ll look at the big picture and forget other little things, so it was fun to play and experience them together.

I enjoyed Blue Prince but the repeating structure of the game started to wear a bit thin as you progressed. I kinda wish there was a toggle to ensure quicker completion once a person completed the main objective. I didn’t bother to go and finish the extra bits n bobs because I felt like it was just too much busy work at that point.

Out of this list I’ve played (in order)

Fez

Outer Wilds

Return of the obra dinn

Blue prince

Outer Wilds was my favorite of the bunch. I didn’t know anything about it and went in blind. It’s gotta be in my top 5 favorite games, if not number 1.

Subnautica felt similar due to the exploration element. I wish there were more games like this.

I feel like we’re probably screwed either way at this point. Everything seems to just be getting more expensive with no end in sight. Maybe it’s me being bitter, but I would at least like to see the billionaires money burn a little lol. Unfortunately, no matter what happens they’ll be ok, and everyone else suffers regardless, so idk.

Oh man I wish. Let’s get it over with already lol

I have played it! I thought the water gameplay was pretty good, but the on land was not my favorite.

I really liked the cyclops submarine as a mobile base. It just felt like it made the underwater sections feel claustrophobic and dangerous at every turn once you encountered the larger leviathans. I missed it a lot in below zero

Damn. That’s a huge shame. The first game was excellent. I was really hoping we would get something similar

They also make the game “The finals” which also uses AI voices. If I recall correctly, they paid some people to offer their voices to be used for AI generated voice lines.

I wish they didn’t though because the rest of the game is really good. It’s like they took the look of mirrors edge and combined it with battlefield gameplay in a smaller map design and no vehicles.

It’s ironic that crunchyroll is here.

They should understand more than anyone that they need to offer a good service, and piracy would be less of an issue.

Amazon just laid off 14,000 workers, and they’re claiming they can do their jobs with AI.

They’re already making AI commercials for TV and AI images for advertising, and there was a post here about AI music that hit the top 100 played on Spotify or something. Now, how cost-effective and efficient these all are? I have no idea.

I think there’s both overhype and reality. I think it’s a bit of both. Companies want people to believe AI is the way forward. But I also think part of this is smoke and mirrors. I actually don’t know how much of it is truth and until we start hearing more first-hand accounts, I feel like it’s very up in the air.

The one thing I’ve personally found, is that buying devices with less points of failure has been helpful when possible.

Lol I’ve often heard the other movies weren’t as good but I’ve only seen the first. Are they that bad?

Yup exactly. They stop crimes of opportunity

I have been enjoying these multiplayer games. They’re pretty silly. Also, I really appreciate that these indie titles have a much lower price point.

Only problem is I don’t have time to enjoy them all. Too many games, too many work hours. It’s like the iron triangle where you gotta pick two but you can’t have all 3

I love this guy. His videos have shown me to never trust locks

I’m really hoping all my existing purchases can be played via PC one day. If “everything” is indeed becoming an xbox, then I’m hoping this becomes a reality. I’m disappointed they’re moving away from their traditional consoles, though. It feels like the end of something special.

My personal guess was to get people “used” to AI video. If you slap a smear over everything, it makes it look similar

Alternatively, it could have been an attempt to clean up video to make it look better. However, the implementation and where I’ve seen it seems to make little sense. It generally makes everything look worse, so I have no clue.

Whenever these massive tech companies started laying people off during 2020 was when I went “well shit”. I was only a year into my job and struggled to find something even somewhat relevant at that point prior to covid. I thankfully still have that job for now but I don’t know what’s next

Tech workers have become a dime a dozen now it seems. Heck all workers seem to have. Now with the whole AI thing I’m trying to think of what I can pivot to.

Tech is ruined for me personally. I don’t want to touch AI. I’ve been considering some kind of business i can start myself or like…I don’t know really. I’m just burnt out and don’t know what the future will look like. There’s so much uncertainty

The GOAT

Oooh I feel like that might be a bad idea for valve, but might be good for everyone else. I don’t personally play, but I would assume some of their player base is invested in the gambling. If they feel discouraged, it might be enough for them to stop.
