havent seen that yet but im sure it happens, ive shared elevators with a few people so far, usually people are too full of loot to try and get more at the extract
balmy plaza
Yeah, so far the camping is the least severe out of any extraction shooter I've played
There's not too much incentive
inland oasis
shit sucks. i round the corner of the elevator thing, dude standing just instaturns and practically 1 shots me. meanwhile i was already racking up 3-4 kills, and maybe like 2-3 drones. no idea what to pick up so idk what i had or lost. but just to get alllll the way to the end, just for nothing. even if the games good which it is, it doesnt feel good

even then getting downed in the elevator isnt the worst you can still extract downed

I love it for what it is, but it’s teaching me that I don’t think extraction shooters are my cup of tea unless done EXTREMELY specifically how I like it. Lmao. Not to mention not using mic (by choice however) doesn’t tend to fare well with being “non-combative” so just existing on the game and not talking to anyone makes me seem sketchy to others lol

AI should be treated like a foreign worker. If the job can be done by a human, outsourcing it should be regulated to minimize its impact on the relevant industry and protect the local work force.
This is especially important for jobs where the AI garners its entire skillset by stealing content from said professionals through a LLM ripping off copyrighted content to "train".
jovial mica
the issue with training an ai that way is its too precise, less people would care other wise
dry copper
The only people that care about the quality of a script that steals from artists to copy their mannerisms are the people that shouldn't have a say.
Theft isn't acceptable when the result is an improvement on someone elses product.
jovial mica
imagine an artist being trained personally bu another artist, the new artist is going to have a similar style to the teacher perhaps even use the exact same technique but it will not be the same final product, people would make references to the similarities and the influence but not accuse the artist who was tained in a particular way of stealing it
dry copper
Artists are not scripts.
Scripts do not learn
Their entire memory is built up using stolen material, not learned skills. They call it a black box but it really isn't. They just don't want to reveal the truth behind the code...that no matter how complex the LLM is, all of the data derived from and within it is tracable.
In fact OpenAI refuses to give access to said "blackbox" to prove it, citing trade secrets
Because that information can be traced entirely to source material, it is stolen...Not learned.
jovial mica
either way whether we like it or not and for the majority of it i do not, there is nothing to be done about ai and its implementation into nearly all aspects of society. As Marcus Aurelius said “You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.”
dry copper
They aren't things that are entitled to skirt judgement.
I am not afforded the option of ignoring them
jovial mica
i look forward to your speech on CSPAN
dry copper
I look forward to government regulations throttling the entire industry into a compliance that sets it back 15 years commercially and bankrupts rich people.
The product wouldn't be where it is today if it hadn't stolen so much content. It won't be deleted, but the models it uses in the most complex algorithms will be rebuilt from the ground up from legally obtained material.
It will be stronger for it
Countries like China will continue to exploit their own artists and everyone else, to drive the technology forward and won't see the glaring flaw in that approach until they one day try to shut it down.
Finding it not only non-compliant, but also behaving like a virus
Code is code. Improper maintenance leads to "bugs/features". The sheer number of ways we can jail break the current algorithms people call AI today only indicate a lack of understanding the data in the very LLM this code is using as a basis for its behavior.
jovial mica
im all for that unfortunately ai is a pandoras box and its already wide open
dry copper
I don't know that I'd liken it to pandora's box. It's certainly a lit match we're waving around in a room full of gas.
jovial mica
that might be a bit more apt
dry copper
It's gunna suck once regulations catch up to these scripts. Many of these companies will disappear overnight and the ones that remain will be greatly diminished, but fortunately some of them are preparing for this inevitability.
Some companies that use LLM are building backup legally obtained LLM and training two algorithms at the same time
So that when the time comes that the shit hits the fan, they have a diminished but functioning replacement
inland oasis
Who knows how many years that’s gonna take tho lol
dry copper
Over a decade.

The legislative process is abysmally slow so yea, in the least

It's india 2015 all over again
How to deal with phone scammers
I watched a documentary on the phone scammers in india and the 10 year long lineup of court cases taking forever to be addressed in the courts there.
PS: I'm not against the use of scripted algorithms in video games or movies. I'm against the use as a cost saving measure where those costs would otherwise go to artists.
We're already at the stage it's costing digital artists and nobody cares.
If we get to a point that the only content we have is created by a scripted algorithm and the rest has fallen into disrepair - No original content exists and we're living on slop....We will need to rebuild entire generations worth of skillsets just to recapture the magic we learned in making it.
The scripts won't work forever. Some day they'll be generating content based on content they generated and it won't be anything like reality.
It's a race to the bottom of the barrel.
...and if you're expecting mankind to moderate it, think again - It generates content faster than we have the means to moderate it.
So expect it to turn into a festering ball of perversions.
...and no amount of limitations can stop the current models from being jail broken into making illegal content

Anytime there's PvP involved in a game with loot, even if there's also cool PvE, everyone is just gonna camp extractions and kill players because it's the easiest way to get loot
Why bother spending a bunch of time and energy on the big robots and possibly almost dying when you can just hide in a bush at extraction with a big rifle and headshot players for ez loot
That crap was already happening to me within two games yesterday
@jovial mica I'm sorry PvP players exist, that's why I don't play PvP games where I can lose loot to morons and get my time wasted

Casual players (AKA the majority of gamers, contrary to what the internet says) want nothing to do with paying to get their time wasted like this. Which is why I think this ain't gonna do much better than Marathon
I already suffer a shit grind at work, why would I want to do that in my free time too 
feral ginkgo
Sometimes I ask the same question from those who want to play a game on the hardest difficulty. I play games for fun not for suffering(I don’t think the feeling of success is going to increase with the most hardcore difficulties that’s exist).
obtuse reef
I can appreciate a good challenge, but only if its a game I am experienced with and if the challenge is actually reasonable
there are some things that I just genuinely cannot understand why people think it's entertaining in the slightest
For example, I really dislike the Infernum mod for Terraria. It's not an interesting difficulty swap, the bosses are still very similar, they just have more bullshit attacks that deal too much damage

Well, they don't just do the PvP camping. They do it til they're full on OP gear then they go do missions.

I feel like the robots being pretty damn tanky and hard to kill at low level is why they're doing it. They don't wanna spend hours risking their stuff just to walk into a room and get ganked by Ticks, or get caught outside by one of those missile drones that wreck you in three seconds. So they take the low risk option of jumping other players, getting their loot, then only fighting robots once they have the gear to make the fight more equal

...or you could just take other people's gear and not have to do the resource grind for upgrading and crafting. Again, path of least resistance. People have limited time to game cuz of work and shit, so they try to maximize their efficiency in games like this, skip the grind, and get to the good part
I'm not gonna blame them for it, I'm blaming the game for being built this way and making that the best option for people
This shoulda been a singleplayer/co-op extraction shooter with some good story beats keeping it going

Arrowhead said "If we can keep it going for another ten years we will", which is a lot less static than the Arc devs saying they've been planning on ten years since they started development

i mean arrowhead also operates one game at a time from what i can tell tho
Arc devs also operate The Finals

Arc is ok, but I'll wait til I can get it for $20 or less. If the servers are still up by then I'll believe in that ten years a little more, lol

Personally I think the robots all being tough af+the playerbase shooting everyone on sight means the game is gonna lose the large casual playerbase who's hyped rn pretty quick, so I'm not betting on it lasting long

As much as i hate nintendo with all of my soul for what they’ve become, they still have some of my absolute favorite games of all time
Splatoon has to be one of the best pvp games to ever grace casual gaming, especially with its short 3 minute match time

I didn’t play much splatoon 1 unfortunately bc i didn’t own a wii u, but what i did play of it was revolutionary loll

And the third
Lets you go back to the first games lobby
Which is epic
Not that it’s a dlc but
Eh

And the playerbase lol
Switch was a perfect jump for splatoon
But i do get the hate for the switch
I dislike it heavily too
tranquil glen
i mean wii u was the intended switch so i kinda get it lol
pure zinc
Omg one of my favorite features of switch splatoon tho
And it gets so overlooked
Is local play
You could have like
8 people with switches all together offline
And play local matches together
I mean i never had the friends to do so, but just the idea of that
Sounds so fucking sick

The fact people are calling it Dishonored, but with vampires puts me off...
Like there's apparently no RPG elements in it.
dry copper
I don't know what a RPG element is
mental rose
Which is sad, because I loved Bloodlines 1
dry copper
It has multiple endings with a branching narrative and choices. It has the option of stealth or violence...Were you expecting crafting?
mental rose
What about dialog?
dry copper
Talking?
mental rose
Like FNV style dialog
barren sparrow
Idk how founded the concerns are but I heard people getting worried bc all promotional material showed exploration and combat, but no actual interactions. Though I stopped following a while ago
dry copper
FNV?
mint bridge
Like FNV style dialog
No interactions at all
barren sparrow
Main appeal of RPG isn't crafting or leveling, but shaping your character the way you want and impacting the world around yoh. That's usually what dialogue options are, that's what leveling is supposed to support.
dry copper
You know, pick your line-style dialog
Like this?
mental rose
Like this?
Exactly
dry copper
That's bloodlines 2
mental rose
Ah, I see
dry copper
I see one good complaint. NPC models are very limited
mental rose
There was also the thing about putting most Clans behind paywall, but I think the devs walked that back?
dry copper
They repeat
mint bridge
I see one good complaint. NPC models are very limited
Didn't fallout 4 do the same? The named NPCs were all different but the settlers were pulled from a pool of faces
Or are the named NPCs in bloodlines 2 sometimes the same?
dry copper
The NPC in bloodlines 2 sometimes you drain the same model over and over
mental rose
Another thing that I liked - that I'm not sure is in BL2 - are the dialog skill checks.
Persuasion, intimidate and seduce.
dry copper
Don't think there are any skill checks. Just options that aren't there if you don't follow a specific dialogue chain
mental rose
That one moment in BL1 where you can seduce a man when playing as male character and he goes;
"Dude! Just go in.... ugh.."
It's so deeply ingrained in my memory. Funny stuff. 😄
dry copper
You can seduce in BL2, but what I saw it was basically a kiss and done
mental rose
Yup, it's to replenish your blood bar non-violently and without breaking the Masquerade iirc.
It had a fancy name tho... the blood... but I can't remember what. Basically your mana
barren sparrow

Darn it...
Maxed Celerity (super speed) maxed rifle skill + Steyr AUG was some of the funniest stuff I liked doing in BL1 endgame.

I found Control in my Xbox library, I think my brother purchased it somewhere back then.(yeah, we did my homed xbox on each other’s console)
I heard it’s really good.
dry copper
Control will make you want to play Alan Wake
Maybe even Quantum Break
Namely because the game introduces you to their universe and teases you with characters and anomalies in them
feral ginkgo
I finished Alan wake 1 back when it was out. I have some reservations concerning the 2. Basically the studio scenes where they did that music thing(i think that was not fitting into the game, but that’s only my opinion. Other than that I’m interested in 2)
dry copper
The musical scene was probably intended to "not fit in". The game is trying to break the fourth wall as another anomaly
feral ginkgo
I don’t know if it’s good or bad, mostly it’s very weird!

I think it's good...generally. Representing multidimensional beings in video games without it being a horror game is historically not really done.

Sim Settlements 2 is the greatest settlements addon ever made for Fallout 4. A complete settlement overhaul that adds a dedicated storyline, multiple characters that can become sidekicks and an engaging settlement construction system that keeps you engaged with both its own maintenance and defending it from the wasteland
That town you can have as a settlement in the normal game can be completely restored and used for a full complement of settlers
tranquil glen
ah, i think to me most issue i had was finnicky unlevel terrain or irrepairable chunks of debri
like for example all the hills in starter suburb, or the fallen crumbl walls of the fort
dry copper
In sim settlements you can delete the debris and completely clean up the town. Weeding, even
tranquil glen
does that also include terrain leveling?
dry copper
no
Actual terrain is part of the world map
There is a mod called scrap everything that lets you delete roads
Clean my settlement mod lets you delete trash, debris, vines, bushes and such with one button press
tranquil glen
ah
dry copper
A lot of people don't like the scrap everything mod because you can't really undo once you accidentally delete a road
You'd have to save the game before every action
If you know how to use the creation kit, you can technically edit the terrain in the kit

Good
Steam needs to fuck off with virtual markets. It's bad enough they're still giving people collectables that can be sold for real money
austere lance
Weren't the Russians literally using CSGO for money laundering
dry copper
They're probably still using the card system on steam to shuffle money
This card was worth $75 USD at one point
Its currently at $2.30
When I say worth I don't mean it's value was that high. I mean it sold for that much.
So I guess Subnautica 2 is going to be all AI now?

Define traumatic murder
Expedition 33
More than traumatic in the sense of gruesome, the story is traumatic and it hits you repeatedly

I loved the first boltgun game.

Is the game confused or are you on the wrong side 🤔
obtuse reef
The game is very confused.
It might be because I have a mod that replaces the chair of the AT emplacement with a plastic lawn chair, and that changes the icon, so that might’ve broke with the update. Or the update just fucked the icons in general
mint bridge
I'll be a trooper and look in the morning after work 😂💀 I'm curious
But I have mods for sfx and star wars tie fighter, though I doubt those would effect icons at all
Since they like
Don't
mint bridge
I like the eagle 1 voice so I can't change it
I do have Helldivers voices from insurgency tho
They curse and it's fun
obtuse reef
Also, I swear they upped the RPM on the Knight
That thing burns through ammo more than normal
mint bridge
According to the notes they didn't, but it was a big patch. I wouldn't be shocked if they missed something so little
obtuse reef
Or if they added some stuff and didn’t tell us
Like the “Gallantry Beyond Measure” thing you get for getting five stars.
Okay, update, it was in fact the mod that broke things
dry copper
I don't understand a player queue in a game with server caps
Did they really allow more people to sign up to play than the server can host?
New World
The login queue on a brand new server is like 500 people long
tranquil glen
it was 9k last monday lol cause major update (Season 10, with new zone/bosses more msq)
dry copper
Annoying.
tranquil glen
probably alot of people using alternate transfers so if their main char servers have longerlines they can just use an alt to eventually get to play on another servr
dry copper
probably alot of people using alternate transfers so if their main char servers ...
Except the full servers have no queue
Meaning if you have a character on them you can login
This means they're allowing people to make more characters on a server than the server can support.
tranquil glen
yea cause old vets dont always care to play on their main char they like rerunning with say freshblood friends that are just starting, I see it a lil bit with streamers who've past few days just been running around leveling and doing early MSQ

Resupply pack being unclimbable is either hated or GOATED atm 😂 I love it.
mint bridge
Why would it be hated 😭 what was the benefit
inland oasis
I mean, it’s the high ground
Can’t do it anymore intentionally.
And people argue that the people who it was happening to accidentally need to turn of auto climb, but NO. I like it on, but the ONLY time I didn’t want it to happen was at the supply packs 💀
I love the change
mint bridge
For clarification purposes, the backpacks not the supply pods yeah?
inland oasis
Not the stratagem
For resupplying. Not backpack
The one everyone on the team uses by default
inland oasis
Yes
No more spamming “A” towards it just to climb it instead of picking up the ammo brick 😂
(I use controller)
mint bridge
😭 what in the controller
inland oasis
Im just so used to it lmao
Plus, I can slow walk like a badass
Away from explosions cuz cool guys don’t look at them
mint bridge
I respect it. I played controller for a long time cause I couldn't be bothered to learn the controls on m&k
inland oasis
That basically me rn. I don’t wanna go thru rebinding shit
mint bridge
For the record, anyone can use the resupply pack if they're aggressive enough
inland oasis
For the record, anyone can use the resupply pack if they're aggressive enough
Well yea, that’s why I said everyone’s got it by default 😂
I turn it into a weapon too. The pod drop kills shit lmao
It’s like the worlds luckiest precision strike, lacking precisely the precision
inland oasis
The timings a pain in the ass tho
Not precision accuracy but timing
It hits the mark Everytime no doubt. You’re right

Started playing Pacific Drive, very much recommended for people who like Subnautica style survival games. But instead of going underwater you're going on an adventure into a bizarre mutating radiactive version of the Pacific Northwest using freaky magic tech tools and driving a station wagon 😆
mint bridge
Speaking of timing, didn't they change it so when you land your beacon on a moving enemy it lands wherever the beacon moves to?
Like for all stratagems
inland oasis
No idea. I know the blue ones followed cuz I’ve accidentally stuck people with the bubble sheild before 😂
The red ones only track where the beam first lands is how I remember unless they did change it
austere lance
Red strategems land where the ball initially lands, blue ones follow the ball (which is a great way to kill Chargers, lol)
austere lance
Have not played since patch
inland oasis
I guess it’s sheer luck getting it to stick to a charger. Anytime I try it bounces off like the bouncy surfaces sometimes
austere lance
Was distracted by Pacific Drive releasing on Xbox 😆
inland oasis
Red ones are sticky but never tracked so defeated the purpose
Which is why I hope they changed it
mint bridge
It's very easy I could be wrong. I haven't played since patch either
Btw I'm also very happy about the supply pods not being climbable
inland oasis
I have played it and I haven’t payed much attention to many changes cuz a lot doesn’t affect my playstyle.
Dynamite the best throwable now imo
Blows up bile nests
inland oasis
Only get 3 vs 4 tho.
The little spinny fire ones iirc you get 6 of. Unless I was using an armor that added more I forget
I’m trying to figure out who and why someone would actually use the like minute long timer on it that you can change
I keep it on the 5 second fuse. I think there’s 30 and 60 too

Every review for The Outer Worlds 2 I've seen says it's 10x better than the first one in every way possible, I will in fact be playing the fuck out of it

I’ve started using the Liberator Carbine and I surprisingly don’t hate it

Deadeye?

i think so

I hate that thing. Constitution better

deadeye has more ammo..
its all round better
8 shots, 300 dmg at 100 rpm deadeye, vs 5 shots, 180 dmg, 60 rate of fire
but a bayonet

Constitution is just better
inland oasis
even the r2 amendment is better lol

The numbers are meaningless, it’s all about style

Man, it's so annoying at time how RPG tag is plastered on literally everything.
obtuse reef
It’s because it’s such a broad term
barren sparrow
No, it's really not
Skyrim is not an FPS despite there being an option to shoot in first person
But if you wanted to you could call "first person shooter" a broad term
In a way all genres are broad terms encompassing games sharing certain characteristics
But the difference between them is in those characteristics
Not every game with levels and perks is an RPG

I recently played and finished Hogwarts Legacy, game that was advertised as an RPG and I think it shouldn't have been advertised as such. Both from players perspective as it was a lie, but also for the devs bc if they dropped RPG part and focused on it being an adventure game it would be easier for them to not have certain expectations

It’s also really hard because even if you get all the enemies, you gotta find the bombs in like 3 minutes
You get literally no time to properly go through the level, but that’s probably the point
I can’t even imagine trying to S rank it
