  • Wow, and here I thought the writer of that book, Homer Simpson, didn't exist!!

  • Do not steal

  • I'll just go with my typical RPG reaction and say: I attack the boulder

  • Depends on the game. Parrying in the opening moments of Witcher 2 is a fucking pain, because it consumes 1 bar of stamina, as does rolling dodge, and you only have 2 stamina at that point, which also takes forever to regenerate. If the enemy isn't dead after 2 parries, you're fucked for 20 or so seconds because you have no way to actively avoid damage other than running away

    On the other hand, the parries in the Batman Arkham games and Shadow of Mordor feel great.

  • The door on the bottom right looks like a fridge, the thing in the middle looks like a door, there's enough empty space there to put a damn bed in there.

  • They want you to believe that analyzing things without permission somehow goes against copyright, when in reality, fair use is a part of copyright law, and the reason our discourse isn’t wholly controlled by mega-corporations and the rich.

    Ok, but is training an AI so it can plagiarize, often verbatim or with extreme visual accuracy, fair use? I see the 2 first articles argue that it is, but they don't mention the many cases where the crawlers and scrappers ignored rules set up to tell them to piss off. That would certainly invalidate several cases of fair use

    Instead of charging for everything they scrap, law should force them to release all their data and training sets for free. "But they spent money and time and resources!" So did everyone who created the stuff they're using for their training, so they can fuck off.

    The article by Tory also says these things:

    This facilitates the creation of art that simply would not have existed and allows people to express themselves in ways they couldn’t without AI. (...) Generative AI has the power to democratize speech and content creation, much like the internet has.

    I'd wager 99.9% of the art and content created by AI could go straight to the trashcan and nobody would miss it. Comparing AI to the internet is like comparing writing to doing drugs.

  • Sell cocaine in Paris, probably

  • laughs in WFRP profession progression

  • "That's great news! That means all your actions and damage don't count!" - The DM

  • In the case of games, this is doubly problematic due to patches and updates. People can still play Fortnite and Overwatch today, but they can no longer play those games as they were in 2018. Anyone that never played previous versions can only read changelogs to get an idea of what changed and when.

  • Is this incest?

    Jump
  • "Inanimate objects up your ass don't make you gay" - that guy's mom

  • Besides, some garbage can be turned into entertainment. AVGN and all the youtube poop using CD-i Zelda wouldn't be the same

  • Blender's UI overhaul from 2.7 to 2.8 was a much needed and very welcome update as well

  • Can we exploit the shit out of the game within the first 10 minutes? Because that's one of the most important aspects of bethesda games

  • I've been using baggy jeans for around 20 years now, I don't intend to stop. Fuck the fashion police!
