SCB,

if AI can’t find its market (which for all the hype it hasn’t thus far)

AIs market is every market, which is why it seems like AI isn’t “doing much.” The primary benefit of AI in its current form is finding and driving efficiencies.

It’s much more like the internet in the early 90s than it is the block chain. AI hasn’t had its “dot com bubble” begin yet, because right now it’s all targeted services.

It is not doing that today.

It is absolutely doing that today. From medicine to fucking call center QA.

That you don’t know about it is further evidence of my claim - AI is currently being leveraged within existing toolsets that you also do not know about.

One Verint system can do the jobs of multiple QA professionals while also handling WFM tasks that previously required 1-3 more jobs, all of which are innately high-paying due to being so specialized.

I use Synthesia every day to make training content (well, my intern does, but still). This content would take a minimum of 4 people to produce without the existing software. I know because we considered building that team and went with Synthesia instead. These aren’t plugs either - there are competitors to both of the above that are continuing to push features forward.

AI is absolutely paying for itself.

SCB,

I prefer D:OS 1s story and played-through world to D:OS 2’s, but D:OS 2 has a lot more polish. Both are excellent games and worth your time.

SCB,

Good luck, because the gear is scattered among your inactive companions, or the chests that might be locked to you in co-op.

This has explicitly been changed this patch.

It’s just inconvenience kept for the sake of following some arbitrary rules.

It’s on one hand a BG throwback and more.importantly a minor impediment to the time-tested tactic in Larian games of “barrelmancy.” Look up some Telekinesis runs on Divinity:Original Sin to see why.

SCB,

Movement and combat in every Witcher game is so unpleasant for me that I find them unplayable. I’ve literally gone through YouTube “Choose Your Own Adventure” style videos of the games because the stories are great but I hate how Geralt moves.

SCB,

Takes from gamers never change. They’re always, consistently, horrible meme-takes.

SCB,

The only people who are against drugs are people who’ve never done drugs and people who were really bad at doing drugs

SCB,

Hey dude socialists don’t believe that people can make rational choices and it isn’t worth engaging them in serious discussions

SCB,

F2P with microtransactions isn’t inherently bad. Legends of Runeterra is that way and is maybe the best-done F2P model I’ve ever seen.

SCB,

I always thought replika was a sex chatbot? Is/was it “more” than that?

Hey man you know where you can find a great cup of coffee? Starbucks!

Edit: this How I Met Your Mother joke apparently did not translate.

I’m not the biggest fan of Elden Ring’s story, but it is decidedly not low fantasy.

SCB,

I definitely recommend Control, since a lot of games you like have big epic set pieces as well as an engaging story. That game is insanely rewarding if you’re willing to put the time and effort into looking for “collectibles” and piecing the game together. Very cool atmosphere and fun to play as well. You really get out of this one what you put into it.

Bioshock Infinite got shit on by both racists and leftists who completely missed the point of the game, but the ending is the best of the Bioshock series IMO and stuck with me longer than most anything else I’ve played. Lots of big cinematic moments, too.

Guardians of the Galaxy is slept on imo and has some amazing moments, and while the story is a retread of things the GotG comic has done, if you’re not a big comic reader, you won’t know, and if you are, you’ll be jazzed about how things are represented.

BG3 is incredible and the hype is well-deserved. The replayability is genuinely off the charts. Ive begun 4 playthroughs and beat it once and have not played the same game twice. Main story is the same but the variability in motivation, drive, and interactions is simply incredible. It is THE CRPG, and this is coming from someone for whom BG2 is my favorite game of all time.

New Vegas is New Vegas. It’s a shining example of what gaming can be for a reason. Needs no explanation (other than “don’t go north at the start”).

SCB,

That’s not true at all. People often steal because they value the item but cannot afford the price.

I am LOVING Baldurs Gate 3 angielski

I’m just a little bit late to the Baldurs Gate 3 party, but I searched on here and didn’t see much follow up discussion about it after the review thread. I’m also trying to submit more to Lemmy so the communities can grow, so I thought I’d bring it back up now that it has been out for a few weeks....

SCB,

I have a barbarian that throws smokepowder barrels at people

This game is fucking amazing

SCB,

BG2 is my favorite game of all time and anything that gets more people to give it a shot is a good thing.

It just so happens that is what inspiring people to give it a shot may be the best game of all time.

SCB,

I respect this take but also can you translate that first sentence

SCB,

Dunno why this is downvoted. My half-orc barbarian sounds like a schoolboy and it is weird.

Perfect is the enemy of good but I’d love a PC chatter mod.

SCB,

It is super bad lol

SCB,

That’s a courtesy for people who didn’t pre-order but want the dice cosmetic. It was originally a pre-order exclusive but they changed it when asked to.

SCB,

This is a really stupid hill to die on my man

SCB,

But you are the one tilting at this windmill.

SCB,

people should be paid more for their work!

things shouldn’t cost slightly more money!

Gotta pick one chief.

SCB,

EAs CEO makes $20MM. They have 13k employees. That’s an $1100 raise, give or take, if you take every penny from the CEO. For the vast majority of their employees, that is less than a 1% raise.

So no, it won’t get you both, in any meaningful sense.

SCB,

So you want to raise the wages of the people making $140k per year but not $170k?

Why?

SCB,

I googled median EA wages (gave me median, top 75%, etc), EA CEO pay and number of employees at EA and then did division

SCB,

Do you have a source on that? Because EA pays in the top 20-25% for their market.

SCB,

People do not get paid based on production but based on value.

SCB,

Who do you think is “biting their nails all day?” Like, which positions specifically.

Also game devs work in offices (or at home offices)

SCB,

Yeah if you don’t work in CS you’re making at or near 100k and the math holds.

Compare the salary ranges with # of employees per role.
