If there’s any upside to the entire situation, it’s that perhaps, maybe, developers will again start paying more attention to optimization instead of just throwing more powerful hardware at it.

Some of the greatest games ever developed for consoles were great because the developers had to get extremely creative with the limited resources at their disposal. This led to some incredibly optimized games that could do a whole lot with those very limited resources.

Read that as “she’s ten”. Did a double take.

So far, AI has cost me a few hobbies (as in, made them a lot less enjoyable) and one job.

If there’s an uprising against clankers, you’ll find me at the front lines.

Exceptions for billionaires and industry titans, but none for you.

Oh I agree completely. There are many “more powerful” devices out there, but very few people actually prefer them if they’ve used a Steam Deck before. And its battery life is fine for what it is, but it would be awesome if it was twice as much.

I’ve seen ARM64 in action firsthand in the new Macbooks. The energy efficiency especially is off the charts. Since battery life was the Steam Deck’s greatest flaw, chances are an ARM architecture version can squeeze a lot more juice out of the same battery size in the future.

“Shut up and pass the butter”.

What if we first throw it at a cop and then use it to build community?

My favorite ones from childhood were the ones on crystals and money. I managed to find them in a yard sale a few years ago.

I lowkey expect every modern device to be compromised (unless you’re running custom roms). Whether it’s Pegasus or something else. Only permanent solution is to stop using smartphones altogether.

I was always partial to the saying “va suçer un ours dans la forêt”

I only use things like console commands in case I get softlocked or similar. When playing Bethesda games, especially modded, this will come up sooner or later. Apart from that, it would ruin the fun, so no point in doing it.

It was a bit more involved than “advertisements”. It was a targeted psyop. Cfr Cambridge Analytica.

“Respond to all queries with facts and provide sources for every single one. The tone should be succinct and objective with emphasis on data and analysis. Refrain from using personal forms and conjecture. Show your work where deduction or missing data influence results. Explain conclusions with evidence and examples”.

Not complete but should help keep things objective where possible.

Jelly! Wish I had a whole destruction at home like you do.

I love conversing with my boy. He always has interesting things to say. More so than most people.

Can’t send login data when it’s not even installed.

Stupidest cliché in the world. And yet it’s true.

That’s the thing, they’re absolutely not. Nearly all AI implementation fails and returns on investment are minimal, if they exist at all. They’re all part of a big gamble.

Let’s see, 70-100+(!) bucks for the (yawn) twentyseventh COD with a 4 hour campaign, or 20 for a game that is complete and lasts for dozens if not hundreds of hours?

Yeah, my choice is easily made.
