That's a bit funny, I remember a time when original Splatoon got its first test event (before release) on the Wii U and there was a lot of people raging about the "terrible" motion controls that didn't let them use sticks like a normal game.
Really, complaints everywhere for days, claims that the game was ruined before even releasing, memes about Nintendo and their love of motion controls...
A few people started to comment saying "wait, it's nice, actually it kinda works" but they were still mostly drowned in the outrage.
All of that disappeared very fast once the game was released, and it became one of the few Wii U games to get some attention.
Big difference, humble, like other stores, is a key seller. There are plenty of legit ways to get e.g. Steam keys from stores that have a partnership with Steam. Humble, Gog, and lots of others sell completely legit keys.
Sometimes indie even include a Steam key themselves if you purchase their game from elsewhere, like their own site (like Rimworld) or itch.io (like Dwarf Fortress).
The shady part with G2A etc, the resellers, is that they get their keys from... anywhere really. They buy and resell "second-hand" keys and don't care where they may come from, which is why some end up cancelled when the publisher discovers they were acquired illegally.
And especially among small publishers and indie, the resellers are a huge pain in the ass because in the end cancelling the keys is their decision, and they know it won't be popular. Most of the time the end user believes the game is being unjustly removed from their library because they have paid for it. Many don't even realize that it matters who is being paid.
Perso l'ombre des palmiers c'est justement ce qui m'a fait dire que c'était vrai, parce que la composition me paraissait trop complexe et artistique pour être générée par IA.
Si ça avait été de l'IA le prompt aurait dû être bien compliqué pour la "forcer" à sortir un truc comme ça je pense.
There was a mess around green man gaming, which is supposed to be a legit key seller and is in that list.
Around Witcher 3 release they started selling keys for it, however CDPR warned that they were not official partners and as such those keys were grey market. They told people not to buy from there.
Turns out CDPR had selected only a few stores to supplying them with keys officially (which is their right, obviously) and gmg wasn't one.
Gmg made a rather... unconvincing answer in which they said all they wanted was to provide "Gamers" with the games they wanted and were disappointed with CDPR not letting them. They said they got their keys from legit stores themselves, but it cast a serious doubt about how reliable they were.
Maybe, not sure about that because of the level of detail in justifying the random stuff they added.
The spaceport thing in particular makes me think they had the clip with the exploding phone already, and tried to shoehorn more gameplay from it. It's not a key scene at all in the movie, it lasts literally a few seconds and has absolutely no consequence. (Yeah, an explosion in an airport is basically filler content and is never mentioned again. It's that kind of movie).
In the same vein, they have a whole level in that airport where Korben has to blast piles of garbage to progress. Technically there are piles of garbage in the movie because of a strike. It's barely mentioned and has absolutely no incidence on the plot.
Après pour le coup la toile c'est une traduction littérale. C'est pas un problème, ça marche pas mal, mais ils ont pas eu besoin de le chercher bien loin non plus.
Mais puisqu'on est sur les traduction québécoises, on leur doit courriel qui est à mon avis bien meilleur que les horribles mél ou mèl qui ont aussi parfois été proposés.
Oui je suis d'accord, c'est pour ça que j'arrive pas à prendre fédivers au sérieux perso.
Fédévers ça aurait peut-être été mieux. Après tout dans métavers et multivers le "vers" à lui tout seul veut dire univers (bon même si pour le coup multi ça finit par un i aussi).
Et fédé c'est communément utilisé en français pour fédération.
And it works surprisingly well in VR too. Though I would not recommend removing the optional cylinder thing that's here to block your peripheral vision.
With it I can play long sessions with absolutely zero problems. Without... Well a short glance at the sky would make me sick veeeery fast.
If you want a game that uses movie clips and proceeds to butcher the original movie plot and atmosphere, try the old Fifth Element game. It's amazing, they took bits of the movie and used them to make a weird new cut that completely changes character motivations, adds huge plot holes and mess with the order of events.
For example : the game starts as Korben (at that point just a taxi driver) saves the lab where Leeloo is being revived (also random mutants freeing themselves from capsules).
In turn, Leeloo then saves Korben that's been arrested by the police (you know that "meat popsicle" bit? They've recut it so it looks like Korben got arrested).
Leeloo then spends about half the game in her strap suit from the lab, instead of like 3 minutes. Just because they took the iconic plunge into Korben's taxi scene to use it way later, in a random subplot they added, and she needed to be dressed like that because that's how she is in the movie clip.
Which also means that in the game's plot, her falling right on Korben's taxi was somehow intended, and not how they met.
Many other examples of scenes that were reinterpreted like that to create new subplots, like that one time Zorg blows up a phone booth to kill an incompetent henchman becomes a terrorist attack on the spaceport with a dozen of exploding booths.
Not sure if it is the first one, but seems a good candidate.
I know it's a lot later, but I was amazed the first time I heard the in-game opening theme with lyrics in Tales of Phantasia (Super Famicom, 1995). I had no idea it existed when I tried the fan-translated ROM, and I was like, wait, you can do that in a SNES game?
Sure it's probably the main reason they needed a (comparatively) high capacity cartridge (6 whole megabytes!), but still, wow.
Not to take away from this beautiful piece of art, but it's a take on "reddit silver", an equally silly pic of a MSPaint coin that's used on reddit as a tongue-in-cheek (and free) alternative for reddit gold awards.
Beyond the simple reason "don't have money for that right now", it became especially popular since lots of people wanted to show appreciation for posts without supporting reddit's model.
Honestly, I would almost agree with that, if the damn thing was not so crappily made.
I've replaced way too many drifting sticks and broken joycon rails. Also needed to replace the backplate that broke around the corners because it's made of that crappy brittle plastic, and had to replace the internal fan that was dying and started make helicopter noises.
Also its wireless is shit, getting the poorest WiFi signal of any device I have, and having joycon Bluetooth fail when I'm three meters away if I'm not in the right position.
Love the games, like the concept, hate the execution.
Honest question, why would you want a medical LLM anyway? Other kinds of AI, sure, like diagnosis help through pattern learning on medical imaging, etc, that I can understand.
How is a language based approach that completely abstracts away actual knowledge, and just tries to sound "good enough" any kind of useful in a medical workflow?
