I feel like many of these got at least a spiritual successor if not an actual successor. That counts as a second chance right and means they aren't forgotten?

Like Gauntlet has like 9 sequels and the last one released just 10 years ago. There's also many games that are heavily inspired by Gauntlet. Same for The Settlers, which had a new game just last year.

Oh this released? I was a huge fan of the original back in the day and would have checked it out. I maybe saw one preview of it some time ago, but nothing since. If I knew it released I would have checked it out, but there was like 0 marketing for it?

Apparently it was $60 for a $30 game, so yeah that's not going to work. And according to the reviews it was kinda buggy as well, which seems to be the norm in 2024.

Recently picked up Dead Island 2 for $30, because 1 was fun and I just wanted to fuck up some zombies with a friend for an afternoon. That released for $60 as well, but was pretty mid and only barely worth $30.

Edit: I see that it has Directors Commentary, I love that shit, more games should do that. Always interesting to hear from the devs how something came together.

Thanks!

You are totally correct. This is one of the first mainstream publications I've seen really explain to people what "AI" is and what it isn't. Good to see this kind of content.

People always confuse multiple things.

There is gravity, the actual effect we see every day all around us. Gravity is a real thing, it exists. Then there's the law of gravity, this is a math formula you can use to predict the effect gravity has on things. There's multiple variations of this one, think Newton and Einstein. For almost everything the Newton version works just fine. Then there's the theory of gravity, this is our attempt to explain why gravity exists and why it does the things it does. This is the tricky one we don't really have a grip on.

By mixing these things it is often portrayed that "scientists" don't know anything, they don't even understand something as simple as gravity.

This is pretty dumb, machine learning algorithms (fuck off with calling it AI) are especially good at seeing signs of disease in data such as xrays, CT and MRI scans. It's the one place they really help save time and prevent mistakes. And even if it's just to flag shit for a second opinion by a doctor and not to replace the doctor, that's still super useful. Pattern recognition is hard and these kinds of algorithms are very good at them if provided the right source data to work off.

If only the media and big corps would stop claiming LLMs are general AI, then maybe people would stop using them for stuff it's clearly not good at and not meant for.

Also not true, we know much more about the oceans than the moon, because the moon isn't really that interesting.

We know pretty much all there is to know about the moon. The oceans are much more complex, so there is a lot more to learn. But we also know a whole lot about the oceans, way more than we could ever know about the moon. Sure there's still a lot of things more to find out about the oceans, so percentage wise we maybe know less than the we know about the moon. But again this is because there really isn't that much to know about the moon, so you can get up to a high percentage really quick.

Now people may say we have high res scans of the entire moon and not of the bottom of the ocean, but that isn't true either. We have scans with pretty decent resolution of the ocean floor, not as good as the moon, but still decent. There really isn't that much there. Everywhere we've seen something interesting we've focused in on and checked out. Most of the ocean bottom is pretty much a dark desert under water, so no we haven't "explored" it, there is nothing there.

People use this argument as a shortcut to maybe there's a whole lost civilization of Atlantis down there. Well no there isn't because humans haven't been around all that long let alone civilization, so the Earth isn't all that different in terms of land masses compared to when the first civilization started. Also something that big would definitely show up on scans and under water archeology is a thing. But maybe there's dinosaurs down there. Again no there really isn't, if something that big were there we would have come across it a long time ago. Even if we hadn't seen it directly, we would see signs of it being there. But scientists are discovering new species every day in the oceans! Yeah but have you met scientists? They go crazy for some kind of weird jellyfish which is exactly like most other jellyfish but is technically a different species. Most people wouldn't be able to tell those species apart, only people who really know their stuff can. All of the big stuff has been found.

What kind of place was this at? Anybody who's ever worked at anything like a bar/restaurant knows people not getting what they ordered happens about a dozen times a day. I think you'd have to invoke Hanlon on this one.

Or do you have reason to think it was targeted at you specifically because you are vegan? Please give us some more background info.

I think this is the side of a house, not a gravestone.

The dumb thing is, I can kinda understand what the speech writer wanted to say and autoprompted to him. But his fried mind couldn't understand it and because he's so vain he won't wear glasses even though he needs them so he can't even read the autoprompter half the time.

Just them good old boys, never meaning no harm

My Voodoo Banshee was like opening up a new world. Games like GTA and Warzone 2100 looked so much better. It was always fiddly to get the glide version of games to run. But once they did wow baby it was like being transported into the future.

It even had a TV out and seeing the games on a big CRT screen with so much color was amazing. I still have that card somewhere in a box. Along with the Voodoo 3 I later got. Good memories

Cat 2 secs after you've retrieved it: You won't believe it, but somehow the toy was lost under the couch again. I know right, what are the odds. Could you be a dear and fetch it for me? Big Puss in Boots eyes

No! You are killing the wrong guys! I am so mad right now.

But let's look at this as a teachable moment, here's some more weapons, now try and hit the right guys.

I live alone, buy family size and still don't have any food.

How is the performance on the drive?
