Discord is terrible for assistance.

Search is ineffective, you have to actually fight the UI to go back to older messages, depending on the device there are still somehow cases in which you can’t go back to the beginning of a thread. But thank you for putting a huge reminder that I am currently “reading through old messages”, silly me, why would I want to do that.

Oh, you’re trying to scroll down through old posts? Let me suddenly refresh the list for no reason and bring you back to the most recent ones. Everything past the third screen might as well not exist anymore.

And of course, there is the slight problem of every useful info written there being completely invisible to the rest of the internet.

So to be clear, this key sequence is just how windows interpret the key, the hardware is exactly the same and any other OS can still use it as the context menu key?

Edit : oh, just saw the thing about the linux workaround. So no, they actually fucked it up on hardware level. Wow.

Well, he knows that weird trick with a rook…

On one hand, the reason the story exists is because he did, takes someone who looks for that shit to realize they’re in it. So that explains why the BBC published a story about that particular individual.

If the guy himself believes this is some kind of redemption arc, though, tough luck. Statistically, imagine how much of the stuff he must have watched to find the one he was starring in.

“Oh shit, I’m in one, now it’s disgusting!”

Thing is, making a life-simulation-game thing with creatures powered by AI is interesting. Not necessarily gen AI though, not the ultra-costly large model kind in any case. I am still waiting for something like Creatures to come back.

However, demoing the same technology to an animation artist… What did they expect? Of course it’ll sound like suggesting that they do the same thing, and of course the guys trying to do art will not like it.

And honestly, they went to the guy that was notoriously the least likely to be polite about this.

“OMG, spy-cam porn is people!”

Yeah, most people would have realized that before discovering they were a victim of it. Excuse me for empathizing more with the many that were not consuming it.

If we go with educational value, the full Zachtronics library.

I mean, really they should install those in all schools.

Along Baba is you that was already mentioned.

Sure, but being a frog for centuries probably beats sleeping for as much.

Wait, the curse is turning into an immortal frog?

Third person? Weird.

I like Shiren 6 (Serpentcoil Island)'s take on it. Shiren the Wanderer tends to be more roguelike than lite, but there’s always been some meta progression.

In 6 instead of making you directly more powerful, it’s mostly about unlocking new mechanics and alternate routes to choose from in new runs.

There is another bit of meta progression I am not much a fan of, and that’s kind of inherited from older episodes, which is ways to save your items and retrieve them in next runs. But it was mostly the previous game Tower of Fortune which had this ultra easy and exploitable, kinda ruined the flow of the game for me.

Yeah. That is not retrogaming. That’s speculation, by assholes, for assholes.

Well I was trying to run OG with HD, the original game already had a French version (it’s the one I’ve always played, even back in 2000). But I just learned that the HD mod was not directly compatible with it, though there might be workarounds. As is, it crashes as soon as I start a map.

Honestly even though I’d heard of the project before, I had competely forgotten about VCMI, so thank you for reminding me of it (very good timing too). If VCMI let me do what I am trying to do, really there’s no point messing with the OG install. I’ll try it when I can get back to it.

And then power a murderous, snarky AI.

Does VCMI includes the ability to play the original campaigns with everything they had, on whatever language they were installed? It’s not clear in their FAQ.

I tried installing the original with HD mod through lutris on a PC I am converting to linux, only to discover HD mod just doesn’t support the French version of the game.

Lutris apparently passes down the system language to the installer with no option to change it. I’m sure there is a way to change the install script, but I haven’t really looked into it yet.

If there’s a way to pass down the French version in VCMI and get about the same improvements HD mod provides, and get all that to run natively, maybe I won’t have to.

Some of them tried to make video games, and that’s how they ended up with web3 and play-to-earn bullshit. Remember those? Barely? Yeah, same.

Your turn will come, gen AI. It’ll be a total shitshow because of the monster you’ve created, but it needs to happen anyway at this point.

Fun fact, the French version of this line translates to “I am a clothes moth wearing a sweater”. It’s kind of a classic too.

Depends. Are you a banana?

The power of vibe coding, everyone. Deploying shit with minimal effort at the cost of total incompetence.
