i recently discovered that OpenCritic has been acquired by Valnet, who also owns some of the trashier websites listed on OpenCritic, so I would really love to move back over to Metacritic since they seem to do a better job of filtering out low-quality critics. If anyone knows a way to create review threads like this using Metacritic, please let me know!

Interesting. I figured since this post is in a Beehaw community they would be invisible to everyone, but good to know.

It is important to do demonstrations like this in the hopes that the general public will understand the limitations of this tech.

THIS is the thing. The general public's perception of ChatGPT is basically whatever OpenAI's marketing department tells them to believe, plus their single memory of that one time they tested out ChatGPT and it was pretty impressive. Right now, OpenAI is telling everyone that they are a few years away from Artificial General Intelligence. Tests like this one demonstrate how wrong OpenAI is in that assertion.

not sure why people are downvoting this

downvotes are not allowed on beehaw fyi

it's unprecedented, so I don't think they would unwind anything done by the current admin. If a new election takes place, whoever wins the election would pick up the pieces where they lie. I could also see the Trump admin just accelerating their fascist coup to prevent an election from taking place.

Ain't this the lawsuit where Baldoni hired the PR firm that represented Johnny Depp during the Amber Heard trial? Wild that you can initiate a defamation lawsuit, and then go on to defame the defendant in the process with zero consequences.

I do think $80 is steep. But that aside, the game is outstanding

Isn't the launch deal essentially getting the game for $30 off? Seems like a fair price for the game when you consider that - if you are buying the Switch 2 at launch, you are buying it to play the new Mario Kart, so I guess the $80 price tag is just to push you towards the bundle? I wonder what kind of discounts they will do this gen. Nintendo has historically been very stingy with deals, but I wonder if $80 price tag will mean slightly deeper discounts in the future?

all good, i can appreciate wanting to keep it close to the chest! Just wanted to say that the beeple care about you, and you ever feel like you need mutual aid or anything, I think a lot of beeple here would be happy to support you!

yeah it absolutely sounds like it. i'm sorry to hear it, i didn't realize you were straight up homeless 😟

Evidently the CBR review is straight up lying. The game does not do 4k resolution in any setting, and the game can only do 120fps at 1080p.

Mario Kart World needs 30 different Porsches to unlock via weekly challenges, THEN it'll be a real game.

He picked me up midafternoon to let me crash at his place for the night and do my first load of laundry in months.

Pete you doin alright? I'm gathering that you have maybe been living out of your car?

How did u find 25 public trackers that aren't blocked by cloud flare?

Wow, finally, a feel-good tech story.

That is THE guide afaik. I think it has some outdated advice, but largely seems still accurate.

big if tru

i guess hype is still valuable to Nintendo, even if people can't buy the thing right this second? Nintendo are the masters of intentionally restricting supply to increase demand and hype. They honed their strategy with the Amiibos, NES Classic, and SNES Classic, and then i'd say they mastered it around the time of the COVID Switch 1 shortages.

By all accounts, Nintendo is not artificially restricting supply with this launch. - it seems like they are really trying to have as many as possible available for launch day. But they still know how to make the most of a shortage.

Aha got it, thank you! Fwiw, you sent me down a rabbit hole on fmhy so I'm learning lots today.

what wiki article? just browsed and i'm not seeing anything other than a glossary entry
