  • Probably because this is just a poor implementation of one. Here’s an example from ChatGPT:

    Sure! Here are some motivational four-word quotes:

    1. "Believe in your dreams."
    2. "Never give up, ever."
    3. "Success is the journey."
    4. "Live life with passion."
    5. "Dream big, achieve bigger."
    6. "Push through the pain."
    7. "Stay positive, stay strong."
    8. "Embrace the unknown journey."
    9. "Hard work pays off."
    10. "Rise above the challenge."

    It seems like every time I see a bad example of an LLM failing, people seem to associate it with every LLM. Like most things, not all LLMs are the same quality.

  • Yeah. Maybe one about Noah’s Ark or something. No way that could fail.

  • For DVDs, I’ve never had an issue. They just amplified the BS on BluRays tenfold.

  • I went the route of a physical collection, but man do they make it difficult unless you get a commercial player that is likely to have ads and doesn’t integrate well into a home theater setup.

    I’ve taken to doing everything I can to play things through my computer, but they do everything in their power to make them unplayable. This includes things like adding hundreds of bogus playlists so you don’t know which one to play, adding extra layers of encryption that cause image corruption a few chapters into the movies, and more.

    If they just allowed you to easily watch and rip the movies that I pay actual money for, I think a lot more people would be open to a physical collections of their favorites. As it stands, I can’t really recommend it.

  • I’d also settle for Spider-Man 2 or the Ratchet & Clank remake.

  • I really really tried to like it, but I would constantly run into issues with files not deleting properly and would get database errors regularly. If the intent was to separate management of the underlying database, all it did was cause headaches.

    Not to mention, not being able to easily just go under the hood to the file system and remove something drove me up a wall. Just let me delete my files, dammit!

    I ended up just using a big-standard file share on TrueNAS.

  • This could be Incredible Machine maybe?

  • Thanks for the summary. I started on PS1 and we haven’t really seen many fan projects for anything in that era just yet. I’m hoping this type of stuff makes it to PS1 and above at some point so I can enjoy this type of nostalgia.

    Now I know to look out for this sort of stuff if we ever do make it to that point.

  • I guess I get it a little bit, but do these get custom labels and a box? Being limited run, it’s probably cost prohibitive to press them. On top of this, unless you go digging, does this make any difference to how the game runs?

    Just seems odd to complain about this. Maybe I’m missing something.

    Edit: looked again and missed the fact that these won’t run on the actual hardware. Now I get it. Yeah. This would annoy me, too.

  • THAT’S THE WAY SHE

    WHOOP WHOOP

  • “The SUN is WARMING UP?!?!”

  • What Remains of Edith Finch is a great way to break this metric as well. Fantastic emotional rollercoaster of a story that’s over in about 2-3 hours. The original Portal also fits here. Probably about 4-6 hours for most people, but hits hard on quality and impact.

  • I’ve found it useful for getting approaches to programming projects. Rarely does it completely solve my problems, but it keeps me headed in the right direction.

    I’m also partway through making my first ARG and it’s super useful for generating ideas, especially when I feed it my established lore because it can keep ideas within that universe.

    I’ve found overall, it’s best to use it to fill in the gaps on ideas I have in general. I theoretically could make all of the content myself from scratch, but I’m honestly terrible at all the little details in many cases. It allows me to not dwell on the little stuff.

  • I had ended up in Japan, but without any luggage, ID, passport, etc. All I had was my phone. I’m pretty sure I was with my high school band and one of my coworkers was on the trip to, but I had lost the group. I tried calling multiple people but couldn’t because my phone was from the US. I was really worried I wouldn’t make it back home and that I would get stuck there.

  • Don’t forget about the hidden ProgramData directory at the root of the file system. Ableton Live likes to install there for some ungodly reason.

  • Baby Driver was the first movie I saw 3 times at the theater. Gets me hooked beginning to end.

  • It’s ultimately control. If you have a choice you want to make and someone can put into law that you’re not allowed to make that choice, that puts them in a position of power. It makes you feel powerless, stressed, and small. People are less likely to fight if they feel this way.

  • I know someone who acted on Veronica Mars. I haven’t talked to them since I worked a show with them, but they’d probably respond if I reached out

  • Art imitates life; life imitates art. This is so on point.
