stsquad, do gaming w I tried two demos of machine learning AI NPCs, and they didn't convince me AI will lead to anything that immersive sims like Deus Ex haven't already done better

A bunch of generative filler text won’t games more immersive. Maybe there is some scope in giving the model hidden details you need to coax out of it LA Noire style but currently everything seems a bit gimmicky.

Maybe it could be a benefit for asking questions to NPCs devs didn’t think you’d want to ask that. Like asking a city resident where the market is. Probably not today but perhaps one day.

Jajcus,

Then every charakter would probably need his own AI model, otherwise everyone would know everything, which would not be immersive at all.

They would need their own preprompt, that’s all.

jmcs,

If you give LLMs that much latitude you are going to have your NPCs spread conspiracy theories and fascist crap left and right in your game and a PR crisis on your hands.

eskimofry, do gaming w Phil Spencer blames capitalism for games industry woes: 'I don't get [the] luxury of not having to run a profitable growing business'

Sounds like skill issue.

mindbleach, do gaming w So, looks like Putin's ordered the Russian government to 'consider the issue of organising' domestic versions of the Steam Deck, SteamOS, and Steam itself (with a side order of Steam Machines)

Ah, entering his crazed delirium stage of dictatorship.

Yeah, I can see why the US is falling to pieces.

mindbleach,

Dictatorship is when government doesn’t do things.

mindbleach,

Oh right, this is .ml, where we’re playing make-believe that the lifetime figurehead who won an election against nobody is toootally a legitimate example of popular democracy. Because it would be impossible to criticize The West™ unless the immediate alternative was completely flawless.

Inventing a domestic video-game company obviously isn’t totalitarian, but it’s some Kim Jong Un shit. It’s an autocrat copying a theme park, with blackjack, and hookers. (Oh god. Tell me I’m not gonna see people pretend the Kims are anything but a hereditary monarchy.)

Ilflish, do games w Fans of Pokémon-inspired MMO Temtem are arguing with the developer about what MMO means after Crema CEO says it's 'not feasible' to keep adding content forever

A Massively multiplayer online role playing game does not mean the game is a game as a service. It’s a route of finance just like some shooting games are and some aren’t.

Pistcow, do gaming w Wizards of the Coast confirms it is not selling the d&d IP to tencent

Yet*

Moira_Mayhem,

WoTC might not sell its DND IP but Hasbro could easily sell the entirety of WoTC to Tencent if they wanted to.

fushuan,

Isn’t MTG quite profitable? I don’t think they will sell all of wotc.

Jonny, do games w This fan-made HD PC port of Zelda: Link's Awakening is so cool I can't believe Nintendo hasn't taken it down yet
@Jonny@kbin.social avatar

Well I'm glad I managed to hear about it before they do! LA DX was my first Zelda game. Time to relive some memories in HD!

DemBoSain,
@DemBoSain@midwest.social avatar

The Link’s Awakening remake on Switch is worth your time. I loved the original, and I loved the remake. I hope they continue bringing their old games forward like this (LA, Mario RPG, etc.)

Jonny,
@Jonny@kbin.social avatar

Oh don't you worry, I've completed it. But thank you :)

I agree, I thought it was great and I felt the art direction really fit the original perfectly!

I've been slowly working my way through 100%ing every Zelda game. Done almost all of them other than BotW & TotK.

BaroqBard, do games w Superb survival city-builder Against the Storm is finally finished and released

Superb is right! Absolutely a delight, it’s become something I keep returning to on a regular basis. Each time, just enough balance between “chilled out,” familiarity, and freshness of relevant judgment/choice-making. Definitely helps that the UI is absolutely on point throughout and the music is a delight.

DeadPand, do games w Superb survival city-builder Against the Storm is finally finished and released

Been playing it the last few weeks, pretty addicting

ABCDE,

Addictive

Ashyr,

Honestly, you’re wandering into prescriptive vs descriptive grammar on this one. How we use words changes over time. For example, it’s not nearly as big of a deal to to end sentences with a preposition anymore.

No need to be pedantic, the meaning is clear.

Addicting, especially for non-professional usage, is perfectly fine these days.

But I tend to be a descriptionist.

thorbot,

Addicting is a perfectly cromulent term to use in place of addictive

ABCDE,

Incorrect usage and descriptivism are still separable; it’s still not a word (yet), although that is arguable of course.

grahamja,

It’s English, there are no rules. Call the cops, no one cares.

dumpsterlid,

People really really reallllly want to believe there are laws of grammar/language like there are laws of physics and it is honestly kind of hilarious.

The power of language comes from there being no rules or laws, language is just the sum of what people choose to write and say. You can impose patterns on what people tend to write and say, but ultimately it is no different than looking into the night sky and deciding a couple of stars makes the shape of a lion and believing you have determined something fundamental about those stars.

ABCDE,

    Really good read. Fully captures my amazement for the game.

    Crack0n7uesday, do games w Court rules Gabe Newell must appear in person to testify in Steam anti-trust lawsuit

    Is this why they were giving away all free steam keys on 4chan yesterday? I thought it was just Black Friday deals, shoulda known those anons don’t do anything for the sake of being nice.

    nekusoul, do games w SteamOS will be coming to other handhelds before you can install it on your PC 'because right now, it's very, very tuned for Steam Deck' | PC Gamer
    @nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de avatar

    Seems like they won’t release it before it’s in a state where it’ll “just work” on about machine, which makes sense, since that’s the thing that helped the Steam Deck to success.

    To that end it’ll probably be a while before they can get there, particularly for machines with NVIDIA GPUs, assuming stuff like multi-monitor VRR and bug-free Wayland support is on the list of requirements.

    @Jaysyn@kbin.social avatar

    I guess this is a different SteamOS than the one that has been freely available for years?

    Goronmon,

    It’s available, but not really built or supported for standard desktop installation, at least as far as I know.

    Quik,

    I think what’s meant is there isn’t an official ISO to download as it’s not yet that polished for PCs

    Jaysyn,
    @Jaysyn@kbin.social avatar

    There used to be though. I have it on a DVD. SteamOS is much older than the SteamDeck.

    Goronmon,

    The name is old, but there are distinct distributions. Debian vs Arch.

    Railcar8095,

    The current, unavailable for general download, is Steam OS 3. Valve just refuses to put a number 3 anywhere, do they just pretend the other two do not exist.

    BTW, there are a few “almost steam os” out there. I can vouch for Bazzite, it’s fedora based and really good. Very welcoming for beginners, but had a lot of options of you want to dig a bit.

    puttybrain,

    I think you’re talking about the really old version from the steam machines. The OS the Steam Deck uses (version 3.0+) is completely rebuilt and uses a different OS as a base (now using Arch instead of Debian)

    doggle,

    If you mean the old Debian based one, yes. SteamOS 3+ is arch based and released with the steam deck. Valve said they’d release a version for desktops, but have yet to follow through.

    bionicjoey, do gaming w Every Bethesda RPG, ranked from worst to best

    Weird that the author includes ESO. That’s an outsource game using Bethesda’s IP. They might as well include Fallout NV (which would of course top the list if it were included)

    qfjp,

    How is ESO outsourced? It’s made by a studio within Zenimax that was basically created just for that game.

    crazyman, do games w Warfare MMO Foxhole is adding naval combat complete with huge multi-person ships

    “Multi-person” doesn’t do it justice. The battleships are designed to be run with a deck crew of 16+. Submarines 8, and destroyers 12+.

    It’s going to be a major task of coordination for these things to be run. I’ve seen players have a hard time coordinating tanks, and that’s usually just a driver and a gunner.

    tal,

    There’s that game with untextured polygonal graphics about naval combat that’s aimed towards having several players running a carrier. Dammit, what’s the name of that?

    Carrier Command 2.
