I think a good evolution of roguelite meta-progression is actually extraction mechanics.

Like escape from duckov etc. is essentially a roguelite where you have to survive and extract with your meta items, which I think is better for keeping you on your toes and feels less “grindy” than traditional roguelite meta-currency.

There’s a concern if the infrastructure hosting OSM’s services are degraded because of bot traffic

This is what I keep trying to explain to people when they laugh at the falling birthrate and go “haha more resources for my kids”

No no, if there are less kids they take those resources away

There’s a grease monkey script that lets you download collections in one go without the client

Limo is closer to Mod Organizer than Nexus Mod Manager (honestly the only interesting part of the nexus one is the mod collections feature for “mod packs”)

Hopefully this episode gives the Danish government reason enough to get away from American owned tech.

The irony of this being about the apple and Google app stores is palpable.

If it quacks like a duck, it’s a duck-like

I don’t know if it’s something you need to force on someone. From what I’ve seen it takes a lot of casual exposure to socialization to get someone to become “less shy.”

Especially kids, you have to get them to do something they think is fun that also has people there so they kind of make the connection that socializing with people can also be fun.

I think trying a bunch of different hobbies to see what works is definitely the right approach though! That 5-10 age range is when they’re figuring out what they even like, so it’s prime exposure time for all kinds of stuff! If you can manage it try everything for like 2-4 meetups to see how she reacts and if she hooks onto something then boom you’ve found your socializing catalyst!

The group that originally started development and shelled out to buy the IP back from Riot owns Hypixel, the largest MTX Minecraft server on the internet.

Just in time for disc rot to set in

It’s kind of wild to criticize people for not providing the conversation prompt logs they had with LLMs and then publish code on GitHub generated by an LLM without publishing their own LLM conversation log.

I feel like I need to look into those 100% ARM desktop systems with those Huawei video cards soon…

メリークライスラー！

Mmmm yes tons of houses surrounded by trees and parks instead of parking lots. So depressive.

Most AAA studios at this point have in-house AIs and training, I’m not sure it’s the equalizing factor people think it is.

Me in online games.

“Infini-attention” isn’t perfect memory, it’s highly compressed representations of the entire history. (https://arxiv.org/html/2404.07143v1).

Much like quantization. The longer the context gets the worse the compression makes recall.

Recent comments by the new Japanese PM stating that an invasion of Taiwan may trigger an “existential crisis” for Japan that would allow them to deploy self defense forces to defend Taiwan.

It’s created a gigantic diplomatic and economic fight between Japan and China.

For a lot of people for a long time your insurance card (that didn’t have a photo) was the only “identification” you had. Otherwise you had to bring your school ID, work ID etc.

Most people don’t have drivers licenses cause they take the train. When you sign up for banks etc you usually have to get a bunch of official documentation from the local ward office with your information.

Proof of identity in Japan has always been a bit of a hazy problem. You sign most documents still with a family stamp, so the idea of what legally is defined as identifying is kind of vague.

Most local offices aren’t networked up, so when you move you have to register with your local ward office and the japanese beauricratic army goes and gets the previous ward office to fax over your info.

“My Number” is the japanese governments attempt to get all that stuff wired together in one database.
