The problem is you can’t really get the consent of anyone who may happen onto you. That’s my issue. I also don’t think that’s why I like this, but I do think it’s really cool.

Those weren’t my comments, but I do agree with them. I like MC and Satisfactory. I don’t like NMS. I like chill games, but I don’t generally like ones that make you grind the same crap continuously for seemingly no reward or reason.

NMS is not a perfect game. People are allowed to dislike it without disliking and single specific attribute of it. I don’t like NMS probably for similar reasons to not liking Starfield. It’s just pointless junk to keep me playing longer, without any reason for me to actually do so. What am I going to get out of continuing? Seeing more similar randomly generated stuff?

Sure, but this is clearly any politician, not just Bernie. It can’t talk about Trump either.

Well, seeing as they’re just LLMs and not intelligent, yeah that would be too restrictive for any of this crap. I agree. That’s fine with me.

It’s not just paper. It’s a symbol. If you can’t understand that then there’s no hope for you in this world. You have a fundamentally flawed view of humanity if you can’t see humans ascribe meaning to object, religious or not. It’s the same reason burning a flag gets people upset.

You can argue it’s irrational, because it obviously is, but humans are not rational creatures.

Now, go only do objective rational things somewhere else. You’re words aren’t worth anything. You’re wasting your effort writing them.

Great way to admit you didn’t read it. You are just looking for a way to ignore what they said. I’d recommend you actually take a look at it.

This may be an unpopular opinion (though I doubt it), but I think this is good. I don’t want people making opinions about politics based on AI output. In the best case, it isn’t reliable. In the worst case, it’ll make things up and lead people to false conclusions. If you want the information then it’s out there. Don’t rely on LLMs to give accurate information, especially on current events.

Especially something so trivial. If you use it to learn about some larger conflict or something, fine (though don’t expect accuracy). If you’re using for age, which has been trivial to find with a quick search for at least a decade, something has gone wrong with you. It’s the higher effort option for a worse result.

To be fair, what this really means is that it adds more options for proc-gen. This means planets will be more diverse, which is good. The actual number of them is totally pointless, but it’s easier to report in than the tangible effect.

To be fair, I think most of the more recent changes are just backporting engine upgrades and stuff from the new game they’re working in. That’s still a lot more effort than just saying that, but it’s not like they’re developing explicitly for NMS anymore.

It also let’s them test the upgrades in a real environment before the new game launches, preventing another mess at launch. It’s a smart use of resources, keeping people discussing how well you maintain the old game going into the new game. It’s free press, along with probably more sales.

I love Factorio, and many other games some call “job simulators.” Done well, games can feel like jobs and be good. The difference is when it feels grindy, or if it feels like you’re doing novel things and actually accomishing things. NMS just feels grindy, and like you’re doing the same thing over-and-over, without any reason to continue.

Lol. What? I like single-player games, but I mostly agree with this person. Most of the challenging games are SP (primarily) all the souls/souls likes are SP. Not liking NMS is not even close to being the same as not liking SP games. People are allowed to not like NMS. It’s boring and grindy and it (to me) never feels like you’re progressing in any meaningful way.

If you like it, that’s fine. It doesn’t mean anyone who doesn’t doesn’t like SP games.

A punishment isn’t the same as challenge.

For example: The souls games have very little punishment (especially compared to their contemporaries when the older games released, where you load a save on death). You die and collect a thing you picked up in that period, nothing lost. They’re very challenging though. Ramping up punishment is a form of challenge, but permadeath doesn’t make it more fun, just adds a big punishment to worry about. That can be good, but NMS’s combat is not good, compared to other games that do the same things.

This isn’t to say it should do things differently. There’s plenty of reasons for it to remain as bland as it is, because it makes it approachable and it also easily functions with the proc-gen terrain. This is only a statement on what it is, not the quality of it.

Yeah, good point. Electric is just always going to be cheaper. Still, it doesn’t totally remove the effect of oil prices, which should be higher but not like this.

Bad news. Cost of petroleum increasing probably increases the cost of electricity too. Energy is energy. If cost of one source of energy increases then other sources also increase price.

It probably won’t be as bad as gas prices, but it’s probably all going up.

This “all politicians are equally bad” nonsense is so worthless and ignorant. Just stop.

You said no more or less than any other politician. No less? Really? You can’t think of anyone worse?

You’re making a bad faith argument or you misspoke. Hopefully the latter.

I have my gripes with her policies, but no more or less than I do for any other politicians.

Well, that says all that needs to be said. You don’t agree with her anyway and you’re just complaining when it’s not relevant.

It’s pathetic and insulting to my intelligence.

Sadly, that have to appeal to people of all intellects, including the lowest.

It’s important to be critical of people we support, but it’s also important not to throw the baby away with the bathwater.

OK, she took a photo you don’t like. Who the fuck cares? It’s politics. Does her policy positions agree with yours? That’s what’s important, not what she does to get attention on social media.

I think it’s pretty low. All of them the requirements are low, but the better your hardware the faster your results are.

I’m using LM Studio to run it. Previous models I ran with Oobabooga, but it needs an update to run the DeepSeek models that it hasn’t gotten yet. It’s all pretty easy to get started. You can try it out and worst case you just delete it after if your system isn’t powerful enough to be useful.
