Yeah thats the main problem, significant development is likely to be crushed.

Ah right! Its been a while haha.

It has apparently been rehosted as ‘Nuzu’ on github… but I wouldn’t be surprised if that or any similar instance just gets taken down once it gets reasonably popular.

MSFT sure as shit doesnt want to get sued by Nintendo.

Goddamnit this is so fucking good.

Levar absolutely killing it, fuck.

And Patrick Stewart just looks uncannily similar to my own grandfather as he was in the late 50s.

Please, please I need to see what O Brien and Keiko look like ahahah!

I appreciate the straightforward answer, thanks!

But uh… fuck. This fucking sucks, Yuzu is basically dead now, they have to disband and take down their code.

If Yuzu lives it will only be pirate copies floating around, further development will… basically have to go underground more like game crackers, as this very settlement establishes that Nintendo will sue you into oblivion if you publicly work on this.

I think the Wickerman remake is just actually a good movie. Yes, its so over the top at times that you are laughing at how absurd some scenes are, but its also still horrifying. Its an actual enjoyable experience that is not as formulaic as many other ‘horror movies that are so bad theyre funny’.

Same with Face Off, but its so absurd its funny and also still a good action movie.

Mandy? I honestly think its also a great movie.

I have not seen /everything/ Cage has been in… but everything I have seen that stars him basically either is a good movie, or is a stupid movie that is made hilarious by Cage’s acting.

Everything (that I’ve seen) that doesnt star Cage but just features him as a more minor character? His bit or bits are incredible.

The dude is apparently quite the spender but goddamnit he’s one of the most talented and versatile actors ever.

Are there any movies where he just phones it in?

Not that I’m aware of.

Keep going strong you magnificent maniac hahah.

Honest question: Where the hell are they gonna come up with 2.4 mil?

I have no clue how Yuzu as an organization is funded.

Also by this guy’s correct logic, Deus Ex is more truly an RPG than FF7.

Good luck explaining that to a JRPG fan without them becoming either manic or passive aggressive though.

Dont get me wrong, FF7 is a great story… but… as with nearly all ‘RPGs’… youre not really role playing, as role playing involves meaningfully being able to … play… the role you want… for your character(s).

Nearly all RPGs are more like role insertion: you are this character and this is how their story goes.

The Witcher and Mass Effect series both attempt to avoid this… though I’d argue that the Witcher series pulls this off far more convincingly.

Oh and of course Cyberpunk 2077, which is actually a great game now that its had years to get fixed up.

These 3 are still ultimately linear stories, but at least choices in decisions you make or things you do or do not do can have pretty significant impacts on the grander world / main storyline.

Hell, Kenshi is a better role playing game than most linear story ‘RPGs’ too, though you’ll likely need a few dialogue expansion mods for this effect to become more obvious/convincing.

Other than SWGEmu, which … literally emulates it.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence

Intelligence has been defined in many ways: the capacity for abstraction, logic, understanding, self-awareness, learning, emotional knowledge, reasoning, planning, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving.

LLMs are pretty capable of abstraction and understanding.

Though they obviously use logic in that they are constructed from/of it, they are not really capable of actual logical analysis, beyond emulating it.

They can’t really do any of the other attributes of intelligence at all, beyond basically decently to poorly emulating them.

Anyone who buys into this deserves the financial ruin that will so obviously happen to them.

If you need to be able to do unions and you are doing it in javascript, you are being absurdly inefficient compared to setting up a postgres db, but i wont be able to convince you of this because of basically nonsense brainwashing from your corporate conditioning.

EDIT: Note to self, do not use lemmy while hangry.

Yep Im wayyyy off base here.

Ah yes, javascript, the database language.

Jesus fucking christ I am so glad I don’t work in the corporate tech sector anymore.

Yes this is a wonderful idea when you live in a magical fantasy world where the vast majority of people do not have any ability to invest in any stocks whatsoever.

These idiots truly just actually think everyone is slightly different versions of themselves.

I know that from an actual standpoint of generally speaking most bang for your buck, pc’s have made more sense for over a decade.

But, console gaming is still a huge part of marketshare. Yes, it doesnt really make sense. But literally millions of people still haven’t got the memo.

Only people I know who still use consoles basically just have them for that /one/ exclusive they can’t wait to play.

The wider gaming landscape is not like us though.

Basically, there are still a ton of kids and/or casuals. We are likely inundated and affected by literally decades of following industry news and learning at least a decent amount of the technical hardware and software capabilities and principles… a huge amount of people still basically just view games with very little of that background knowledge.

Oh hey Im surprised that all even posted, my connection crapped out right as I hit send.

But uh haha yeah.

My one saving grace is I have a lot of time on my hands.

But I expect it to take probably at least 6 months before I even have what Id consider a working combat prototype with a variety of different weapons and Ai routines, and maybe a barebones model of a procedural map generator.

Im guessing that me soloing a whole project like this could take 3 years, but if I can get a prototype working, I might have enough money to pay for some 3D assets to speed up dev time a bit.

Almost certainly not enough money to hire anyone lol, and I really really do not want to do kickstarter or early access and deal with the community and possible total failure.

Im the exact opposite of a PR person.

Except that you cant actually use it as a computer without DRM without a ton of fucking work, nor as a gaming device without DRM without a ton of work.

MSFTs development notes and such for the Pluton CPU architecture heavily draws from wanting to be able to stop people hard-modding existing Xboxes.

A separate, physical security co processor doesnt work because people figure out how do basically flash an Xbox, or do some kind of software stun lock, then physically remove the anti piracy doohickey, then finish flashing the thing into a hackDbox.

Thankfully the linux community appears to have neutralized that threat for PCs running Linux, at least.

I have a $200 crap phone with a headphone jack.

Does everything I need a phone to do.

Also with an analogue, cabled headset, it can pick up radio stations.

Headset cost $20 bucks. Not amazing, but shockingly good bass compared to a $20 dollar headset from when the first iPhone came out.

Nope, the phone is not made out of titanium.

I have dropped it plenty of times and its fine, no screen cracks or broken buttons, hell, I even accidentally dropped it fully into a bath tub once.

Turned it off, popped the back cover and the battery out, left it alone for 2 hours to dry out.

Its fine, no damage whatsoever.

I entirely fail to see why absurd processing power is necessary for anything beyond some mobile games, which are crap.

I have some ok free games 2D games, but theres only so much you can do with a touch screen.

This $200 piece of crap can run 99% of what 99% of people use their phones for 99% of the time.

Only downsides are no games, no stupidly high resolution cameras.

EDIT: I have been a software developer, database admin/dev, data analyst. Stereotypical tech worker in many ways. Never fucking understood why getting a 1000+ phone every year or two made any sense to anyone.
