  • Concerned Ape (Stardew Valley): I swear on the honor of my family name, i will never charge money for a DLC or update for as long as I live. Screencap this and shame me if I ever violate this oath.

    Jump

  • Yeah, agreed, a good DLC is awesome. The example that comes to mind for me is From Soft. Top notch content, delivered well after the release of top notch games, at a fair price, which expand on the level and boss design and improve it every time, while stepping up the difficulty for those who loved and fully completed the base content.

    I wish every game I ever loved would get DLC like that.

  • PXSX2 got a large update + a new Mastodon account to go with it

  • They did overhaul the controller mapping in this update, along with just about everything else, so it would be worth checking out. I really can't emphasize enough how massive this update is, it's like the emulator leaping from 2010 to 2024, they've been exceptionally active over the past 4 years.

    Aren't there emulators for newer platforms out there now?

    And of course. I assume you're referring to RPCS3 for PS3. PS4 is also in the early stages of being emulated, with simple games being playable.

  • Had a coworker today ask me to change a variable to be in "screaming snake case". So I google it, and sure enough, take your snake case (example_variable) and put it in All Caps (EXAMPLE_VARIABLE). And now your snake case is screaming. Had me giggling reading the PR feedback, I love stupid programmer naming conventions.

  • Most consumers hate the idea of AI-generated customer service

  • Ugh, if only. Amazon has done everything in their power to bury and strip that number from the internet. Once upon a time that worked great.

  • Storytime! Earlier this year, I had an Amazon package stolen. We had reason to be suspicious, so we immediately contacted the landlord and within six hours we had video footage of a woman biking up to the building, taking our packages, and hurriedly leaving.

    So of course, I go to Amazon and try to report my package as stolen.... which traps me for a whole hour in a loop with Amazon's "chat support" AI, repeatedly insisting that I wait 48 hours "in case my package shows up". I cannot explain to this thing clearly enough that, no, it's not showing up, I literally have video evidence of it being stolen that I'm willing to send you. It literally cuts off the conversation once it gives its final "solution" and I have to restart the convo over and over.

    Takes me hours to wrench a damn phone number out of the thing, and a human being actually understands me and sends me a refund within 5 minutes.

  • Hahaha, no worries, sorry for coming at ya so hard!

  • Fiction is fiction. This is the same kind of logic that adults used when I was a kid because Harry Potter promoted witchcraft, or when the country had a moral panic because Call of Duty had their children killing people. Nothing in the game literally advocates for or glorifies IRL slavery, that would be absurd.

    If you can't parse fiction from reality, then you aren't fit for just about anything. Movies, music, video games, books, etc. Every medium frequently depicts things you shouldn't emulate. Even the literal Bible has depictions of slavery, rape, incest, and murder.

  • "prompt engineering"

  • I don't necessarily disagree that we may figure out AGI, and even that LLM research may help us get there, but frankly, I don't think an LLM will actually be any part of an AGI system.

    Because fundamentally it doesn't understand the words it's writing. The more I play with and learn about it, the more it feels like a glorified autocomplete/autocorrect. I suspect issues like hallucination and "Waluigis" or "jailbreaks" are fundamental issues for a language model trying to complete a story, compared to an actual intelligence with a purpose.

  • I just ask my problem bro...chill....

    Jump

  • Same honestly. And if I ever ask a question that someone might think is a duplicate, I link to that question and say something like "I found X, but the answers here don't reflect Y".

  • [meta] thanks for not camel casing your post titles

    Jump

  • Surprisingly legible, but feels like I can only read it with momentum, flitting past it and letting my subconscious tell me where the word breaks are. The moment I get confused and look more closely, it becomes almost impossible to read.

  • I call upon thee, theist majors and Lemmings who know the Scriptures well, what can you tell us about Bibicially accurate demons?

    Jump

  • Surprisingly, a lot of the creepy media is fairly accurate, though extreme. Demons aren't prominent, we know they are angels who rebelled with Lucifer, and were cast out, so that would be their appearance, but in reference to possession, we basically have those that Jesus encountered and a few his apostles drove out in his name later on.

    And what we see are people behaving almost like animals, screaming, shouting, with an inhuman strength to break chains or whatever locals have tried to contain them with, and inflicting a lot of self harm. There's a woman who would throw herself into fires, a man who had 100 demons in him (where "I am legion" comes from") who would throw himself onto rocks and off cliffs and cut himself, etc.

    The more manufactured elements are the head twisting, anything to do with pentagrams, and honestly a lot of the hostility to others. People usually steered clear, but demon possessed individuals generally did more self harm than harming others, with cases where Jesus would meet them within cities, and they weren't surrounded by dead people or a panicking mob or anything. They also don't "haunt" or hunt people like they do in movies, but are usually extremely obvious.

    Anyway, that's my experience purely from biblical account, off the top of my head, I'm sure others can add more detail or examples.

  • Is is possible to see who upvoted/downvoted a specific comment?

    Jump

  • Hmmm, tbh, I don't think that's a feature I'd want. Every now and again you see "that guy" furious that he's getting downvotes, doubling down and trying to start an argument or something. I don't need that guy showing up in my DMs.
