That’s specifically LLMs. Image recognition like OP has nothing to do with language processing. Then there’s generative AI which needs some kind of mapping between prompts and weights, but is also a completely different type of “AI”

That doesn’t mean any of these “AI” products can think, but don’t conflate LLMs and AI as being the same

Neural networks aren’t going anywhere because they can be genuinely useful, just not to solve every problem

Predecessor is the best MOBA I’ve ever played, and it’s not even out of early access yet. Right now just grinding Brawl because it’s braindead action but the normal gamemode is also good.

Get this garbage out of here. This isn’t a shitpost, this is a decomposing corpsepost

someone better

Someone who can milk their playerbase better. Lootboxes and other “surprise mechanics” (addictive gambling), battle passes, games as a service

So many sites get it wrong

If they get away with it, they very much got it right

Arcane is not a video game adaptation lol. It’s a story that’s nowhere ingame except for like two one-line voice lines.

On Steam you can usually pay the difference to upgrade to a deluxe/ultimate edition

There’s a massive overlap between DnD players and video game players too, and barely any video games that implement the DnD 5e ruleset. I’m willing to bet that helped a lot with their marketing: “DnD the video game” was very convincing.

I couldn’t tell you the last time I bought a AAA game.

BG3

I hope you mean a dedicated DAC, because adding only an Amp doesn’t fix the buzzing

Amir,
@Amir@lemmy.ml avatar

If it has digital input (like USB) it’s a DAC+AMP combo

Not saying you’re wrong, but this seems about equal to the shit Western developers pull on their game releases nowadays

The Netherlands lets you use your bank card for all public transport now (OVpay)

Amir,
@Amir@lemmy.ml avatar

You need an “OV chipkaart” for that, which then does work on all public transport, but you can’t buy things with that card in stores

Going with her to the nine hells is her “good” ending.

Letting her explode is her bad ending.

It’s definitely a shitpost just not in the way OP intended

This comment feels Reddit AI generated

A RULE SPY'S IN THE BASE?! (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I searched up “Lemmy” on the PlayStore and noticed that Reddit appears right before the last lemmy client in that search X3 do u guys know if there r any other lemmy clients worth trying? I randomly felt like trying all I could find and for now I’ll stay on Jerboa and the Web UI but I use Voyager too now, mainly for DMs...

Lmao without Larian’s dedication I doubt they’re gonna get anywhere close to BG3 in the future

Dude has a dex of 45 or something and somehow can’t manoeuvre on these rocks?

Who, in your opinion, is the most annoying character in any game?

Personally, it’s Faith from Farcry 5 for me. Uninteresting dialog that can be summed up to “I was bullied once” and that’s it. Literally every other character is so much more interesting. Jacob gives you a sequence where you run through a gulag which he then uses against you, John tries to kill you and is openly hateful...

Wyll’s act 3 content feels so stupid, where he suddenly starts ego tripping and becomes less and less likeable. “The blade of avernus” my ass

…things that are also being complained about often?

Amir,
@Amir@lemmy.ml avatar

A theory of mine about this problem is that an AI knows what it should do (because of training data) but not if it was effective; as it doesn’t have a metric to test if its output is engaging to humans. When an AI generates dialogue it does so by copying and merging many existing snippets of text, but without a clear set of goals in doing so. When a human writes dialogue, they have a specific atmosphere in mind, a set of goals, foreshadowing, the tone shifting throughout the sentences etc. AIs might accidentally do it right from time to time, but more often than not they mess this part up.

I disagree with the idea of upgrading RAM. 16GB will be fine for at least a few more years.

  1. Add an additional SSD. 500GB in almost 2024 is unusable except for editing txt files.
  2. Maybe get a second monitor if you don’t have one. 1080p 120Hz TN should be pretty cheap.
  3. Update the CPU to anything X3D. There’s some relatively cheap X3D options now.

Even with a BIOS update?

The Underdark itself is super disconnected from the rest of the game. Grymforge is also kind of weird. When you get to the Gith creche you’ll pick up the main story again. That crech is part 1 of act 2, and then the Shadow-Cursed Lands are the main part of act 2. The Shadow-Cursed lands are IMO the best part of the entire game.

Yeah BG3 is a great game because it’s not afraid to be a CRPG through and through. It’s not trying to be a MMO-lite nor an action game nor a shooter. It’s a 2023 AAA CRPG that’s very well done.
