  • Unless it's changed recently, I don't think automatic1111 deals with LLMs. It uses stable diffusion based technologies for text-to-image, image-to-image etc. But yes, it's a good entry point for dinking around with ai/machine learning

  • As others have said, in it's current state, it can be useful in the early stages of anything you do, such as brainstorming. ChatGPT (I have most experience with) and other LLM excel at organizing, formating, explaining, etc the information of the internet. In almost all cases (at the moment) whatever they spit out needs to be fact checked and refined.

    Just from personally dinking around with chatGPT a little, it does give you that "scarily good" feeling at first. You do start seeing it's flaws after a while, and you get to learn that it's quite fallible. The information it can spit out can be good for additional ideas and brainstorming.

    What I want it do (and it might already, if not soon) is that I when I program something up and for the life of me can't find the cause of some bug, just be able to give it my entire code and my problem and see what's deal.

  • These are my picks.

    Infinitode 2: Pretty good standard Tower Defence.

    Gravity Box: Very simple platformer where your only movement is rocket jumps. People say it has occasional ads but I've never seen any.

    God Field: fun tacky card battle game. Quick games. Can play bots, private lobbies, casual or ranked. Anywhere from 1v1 to 9ffa. I would look up a guide online to find out how to play, as it doesn't have a tutorial (just a glossary).

    Arknights: DISCLAIMER - Gacha game, I play f2p though just fine. You're only allowed a certain number of missions per day. Unique Tower defense game with levelable Pokemon for towers, except it's waifus instead of pokemons. Has lots of story (though you'll get through slowly).

    Emulation very possible (though I dislike touch controls):

    • Dolphin (wii/gc)
    • Citra (3ds)
    • RetroArch (any older system)

    I've seen these mentioned in other comments:

    • Mindustry
    • Slay the Spire
  • I'm seconding Mindustry. It's on the Google play store free as well. I play it on PC though because I could never do the controls on touch well. Free on PC itch, or $10 on steam which I bought to support the fantastic game.

  • I feel the same. But I would guess that consciously it not, we are now more aware/knowledgeable of a product's existence because we came across an ad.

    I think children are WAY more susceptible to add though. So many times I have seen my nieces and nephews playing free games on their tablet and just completely watch the video ad that interrupts the game. Kids are like sponges, just soaking everything up.

    There's gotta be some studies somewhere on the subconscious effects of advertisements.

  • It's been a couple years since I tried maining Linux (Ubuntu). The state of Linux gaming was definitely less than today. Back then, Apex Legends that I played with friends didn't support Linux yet.

    Probably the main reasons for me personally is that I was dual booting from a secondary SSD, so Windows was just always there to switch to if I ran into Linux hiccups I didn't want to deal with. Also I remember the secondary SSD was only 256gb so I ran into some problems with that.

    As for what's preventing me from switching today

    • I've heard Linux VR isn't quite there yet.
    • Switching over is just a big task I don't want to deal with right now. It could be done, but I'm currently entrenched in Windows. I want to eventually.
