That’s good!

My opinion, is fact, the truth and if you disagree you’re wrong and delusional <=== {You are here}

That’s (very fucking) bad!

How would you feel if I said: Linux is stupid because windows is mainstream and therefore better?" Oh by the way, I’m allowed to be right because you’re automatically wrong.

Recently finished one playthrough of Torchlight 2, so now I went back and am doing a playthrough of Torchlight 1.

Jtskywalker, do games w Large Language Models in Video Games?

I think so. New GPUs will be able to handle AI models running locally before too long. I think this will be used for NPC behavior as a replacement for procedural quest / dialogue generation. I have seen a lot of mobile games leveraging this but they don’t seem very good yet. Models need to be trained more specifically for each game I think

Even_Adder,

You can run language models on consumer cards right now. The only thing is depending on the size of the model and the amount of VRAM on your card, you might not be able to do much else.

Jtskywalker,

Yeah there is likely still a ways to go before we can run high end modern games plus a local model, but newer nvidia cards are pretty crazy. It’s probably closer than I think

Are you asking if company is willing to risk all their reputation to add software that generates random text based on user input, that can be exploited or just faked as hate, racists or whatever you could think of evil is ?

I don’t think so. Maybe it could be used to generate some large dialogue loops but putting random text generator to the actual game if it’s not your first game, you have nothing to lose or you want to feel the AI hype ? I don’t think so.

Alwa’s Awakening

It was challenging, but fun. Looking forward to playing Alwa’s Legacy soon which apparently made some improvements.

Nothing. My GPU is in for RMA. It died in the middle of me and a friend finally hanging out to get into the RE4 Remake together.

What I WANT to play is Deadlock.

Actually, I have a steamdeck, so I’ve been tackling an MGR playthrough on revengeance difficulty. But holy crap the Deadlock withdrawal is real.

Zaleramancer,

Deadlock

This looks really cool. I have completely missed the lead up to this game, anything in particular you’re excited about it? I’d love to hear it.

MentalEdge, (edited )

Everything?

It has the complexity of a MOBA (but genius level UX that completely addresses how that would normally be daunting, through a fantastic community item build system), movement approaching the intensity of Titanfall and a match format that finally fills the hole in my heart that was left by Battleborn, and is maybe even better.

It has a a unique 80s magic/fantasy aesthetic, and what we know of the lore so far is fantastic. (I laughed out loud when walking by a radio in-game and a newscaster voice went “Have love potions ruined dating?! These 20-somethings tell all!”)

My advice, hit up !deadlock, get an invite, and just give it a try. The way it’s looking, it might turn out my favorite game of all time.

Zaleramancer,

Oh thanks, this does look pretty killer. I haven’t gotten into a MOBA in a while but something fresh and different could tempt me. I’ll add this to my queue!

MentalEdge,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

MOBA is an accurate description of the game systems, but playing it, it feels like the first genuinely fresh game in a decade.

To me, at least.

SpaceScotsman, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of January 20th

I’ve downloaded some old PS2 era games. Some of the gameplay is quite dated, but I really enjoy the retro feel of the environments and graphics. Perfect photorealism isn’t always necessary to enjoy a game. I’ve been playing Burnout and Ghost in the Shell SAC.

any1th3r3,

Burnout, what a game! I know 3 still is regarded as one of the best arcade racers to this day, although tbh - controversial opinion, I know - Paradise is likely my favourite in the series.

Zaleramancer,

How’s the GITS game? I’ve never heard of any tie-in games from that series and I’m fascinated about what the game is like.

SpaceScotsman,

It’s honestly not amazing. It’s a third person shooter across multiple different levels of built up environments, offices, corridors. The enemy AI is pretty terrible, and although there are different tactics you can use to “hack” and take over enemies or melee, it’s usually just easier to shoot.

But the parkour style navigation stood out. You can do wall jumping, which I was not expecting, and there are hidden pickups you can explore and find. And the open environments are nice (the corridors can feel a bit samey after a few levels).

It feels like one of those tie-ins that, had the dev team had more time to explore, balance, and really make it into its own game, might have been really good.

Do I think it’ll happen? Yes, even if it’s not good, because AAA companies are cheap and have no taste. They thrive on just spewing out more content than a smaller studio could make, quality be damned.

That said, whether or not it COULD be useful in the future I think depends on the context and how well you could tune the models.

I think it has absolutely no place in a narrative game where intentional authorship is what people come for. Even if it’s passable, I want to know that what I’m hearing or reading was something SOMEONE wanted to say.

But I think it could be interesting in more open ended, replayable sim games where you want to be able to try a wide variety of approaches and have different experiences each time, but it would be impractical for a dev to implement all those possibilities to the point where players would feel like the game adequately responds to their actions. However, I don’t think you could just drop a copy of chat gpt in there and call it a day. You want different NPCs to be different and you want some consistent reality that they all exist in and respond to. So you’d probably need to put in some constraints based on some hidden file describing a particular world gen’s state. A basic example would be the NPC knowing that the town you asked about is to their north or perhaps an existing relationship between 2 characters.

Idk how technically feasible this would be, but it’d be a cool tool in the right context if done right. I think the key here is it can be good when it enhances what you want to do and you put in the effort to make it work vs just using it as a lazy shortcut.

dp290,

Thanks for sharing.

I did a bit of browsing online and it seems modders are progressing a lot in terms of technical feasibility in an open ended setting:

Tekken 8 is slowly consuming me whole… and I don’t mind. I love the game so far! When I’m not playing, I’m looking up combos, pro replays, various advanced tutorials… I’m fully committed at this point, haha.

That being said, my library has let me know that a copy of Sonic X Shadow Generations is available for borrowing, so I’ll switch it up a bit this week!

Do your mental health a favor and stop devoting attention to this.

@Majorllama@lemmy.world avatar

They can’t.

I tried to make a comment about this in a different thread. Only you can control how you wanna spend your energy every day. Stop giving it to being angry at them all day. Unless there is something you can do to take actual action its just ruining your day with no real change taking place.

My father has requested that the family only talk to him about politics if there is something he can do. A petition to sign. A protest to mount. Something. Otherwise he doesn’t want to hear what Trump and his lackey’s are up to because he knows he can’t do anything about it and letting it ruin his daily mental health does him no good.

Anarki_,

Your father sounds incredibly based.

Majorllama,
@Majorllama@lemmy.world avatar

He’s got his moments. I’m kinda fond of him.

Lost_My_Mind,

Is your dad in his 40s? He sounds like the kind of guy I’d want to talk sports to.

You know…assuming your dad is a Cleveland sports fan.

Majorllama,
@Majorllama@lemmy.world avatar

Unfortunately he’s in his 60s and he thinks sports are “stupid”.

Still love him though.

Jackthelad,

You’re on Lemmy. This place is obsessed with posting about Elon every time he farts.

yggstyle,

Thank you for reminding me to update my filters to include Elon. I keep meaning to and finally have.

PlainSimpleGarak,

Hey thanks! I had “Elon Musk” in my filter. Apparently, I have to add one for just his first name too. This damn platform has a huge boner for him.

Chozo,

It's hard not to when the man who just did two nazi salutes at the presidential inauguration is also trying to insert himself into our gaming spaces. We don't want nazis in our communities.

It’s not hard at all, you choose what you allow to take root in your mind. Additionally, I disagree that that’s what he did; his motion was not an actual heil, and I feel that labeling it as such without better evidence continues the unfortunate trend of dilution powerful words. I don’t think a conversation on this topic will yield anything meaningful, so I’m not going to elaborate further, but I wanted to present an opposing opinion.

Lost_My_Mind,

Ok, you lost any credibility your original words had when you said it wasn’t a hitler salute. It clearly was. I wish I knew how to post video here. It’s a 2 second video, and it’s clearly a hitler salute.

bread,
@bread@feddit.nl avatar

They shouldn’t hold any credibility in the first place, I’m just some faceless username. I already saw the video, that’s what my opinion is based on. I say his hand’s angle and movement are quite different from a heil, but if you want to disagree, that’s fine as well.

Pentiment, an awesome point-and-click whodunnit with meaningful choices and beautiful medieval graphics. You only have limited time so you can't do everything and follow every lead.

Return to Moria, a generic survival/crafting game that was recently free on Epic. I had low expectations of this one, but it is surprisingly solid. But it really sucks that there is no dedicated server support.

Zaleramancer,

I played Return to Moria for a while on my partner’s (more powerful) PC, since my laptop isn’t exactly in fighting shape. I thought it was fun and very good at getting me in the vibe of the game. I particularly liked navigating the confusing warren of the Mines. I did fall off a bit when I did a lot of prep-work for the Orctown and found out it was kind of tiny.

If I had the PC and time, I’m sure it’d be very fun to play with friends.

Maestro,

Yeah, I'm playing with a friend. I think we're nearing the end. My gaming laptop struggles as well, but turning down the setting and upping frame generation helped a bit

Zaleramancer,

Yeah! What’s your gear looking like? In curious about what end-game stuff is like. I remembered that I hit the dweller in the water and kind of decided it wasn’t something I wanted to struggle with on my ownsome.

Maestro,

The dweller ended up being a really easy boss to deal with. We're deep into the Dwarrowdelf now. I just found the last piece of Durin's axe so I assume we're near the end. I didn't look anything up because I didn't want to spoil ourselves. We're in tier IV armor and weapons. It looks great, except for the helms. They have one big horn and one little horn. I hate horns on helmets and I don't like asymmetry either 😄

Zaleramancer,

Yeah, asymmetrical horns are not my jam in helms. 😆 I’m glad you’re having fun with it, I really enjoyed the parts I played. I’m just really scared of water monsters- can’t play subnatica, can’t deal with terrors of the deep.

Don't know if it qualifies, but some time ago I saw a VTuber play "Suck Up!": you play as a vampire and you have to actually talk to try and convince NPCs to let you in so you can suck their blood. The "thinking" isn't done on your PC though, you push-to-talk your line and the answer is elaborated by their servers.
