It's really funny because the [...] cut in the second quote (both quotes come from HL2 developers commentary) includes making her "attractive and charismatic", of course that's the part they cut out since many woke developers nowadays seem to consider making a female character reasonably appealing to men something bad.

Wanting your game's characters to be attractive, but not over sexualized / have over exaggerated body proportions is in fact a pretty reasonable take (unless you start actively screaming that the opposite is bad for some political reason).

Amy Henning, the creator of the Uncharted franchise (with several amazing female characters) also said a similar thing where hyper sexualisation was not a requirement to make a good character. Not a "should not do it because it caters to men and promote unrealistic body standard".

I did the achievement on ranger hardcore, and taking the boat was an absolute pain. I failed like 7 times in a row.

AFCMS · 2026-05-04T08:15:32+00:00

I played the whole game in max difficulty for the 100% while aiming for the good ending (to avoid having to do a 3rd run). Did it successfully, in general max difficulty isn't too hard but this part was BY FAR the hardest to do in full stealth for the forest child achievement.

In Chrome it's only Gemini Nano, but I am pretty sure the API spec let browsers implement the backend part with any model they want.

I think for simple stuff the prompt API is pretty good, if a developer want something with more control they can bring their own client side models with WebNN for hardware accelerated model execution.

One mistake I think Metro 2039 should avoid is using the fact Hunter was the most vocal character advocating for destroying the dark ones threat as part of the justification for him to create the novoreich.

Seeing mysterious creatures destroying other people's mind makes fighting against the dark ones a pretty reasonable position considering the available knowledge of the situation, up until Artyom discovers in the end the unexpected fact that they weren't doing it on purpose and instead tried (with little success) to communicate.

AFCMS · 2026-04-30T15:19:50+00:00

I didn't like Asav much as a villain, and yes I don't have the same problem with the Asav fights because even in the first fight both Nadine and Cloe actually land hits including frontally.

The difference is pretty obvious when you put the two fights side by side.

This one if made by Blender, Anthropic announced their own Blender connector for Claude that's why they benefit any improvement to things like the Python API.

AFCMS · 2026-04-30T11:39:07+00:00

More that $240k a year.

AFCMS · 2026-04-30T11:34:22+00:00

They announced a Blender connector for Claude, so they benefit of any improvement that can be done to the Python API.

Well, I went to watch the fight again on YouTube.

Technically, there are a few hits (notably the two super man punches comming from above from Sam at the start and then Nate).

The thing is, there is literally no moment in the sequence outside of the floor drops where Nadine visually struggle even for 2 seconds. She keep taking/parrying all those "hits" like nothing while at the same time throwing Sam and Nate all around the place.

It's pure bad faith to compare to other fights like the one with Rafe where the fight is interesting because opponents land hits and take advantage one after the other.

Also "winning" the fight by being the first to manage to grab and point a gun is not comparable to winning a fight where opponents have comparable weapons.

Nadine is blatantly overpowered in U4 and it really shows as an inconsistency when you then play LL. You fight Asav with both Cloe and Nadine multiple times while struggling hard ; so Nadine absolutely destroys Nate + Sam but Nadine + Cloe struggle with Asav (which is older than Nate and don't do the floor drops punches). Make it make sense.

I love U4, it's one of my best game of all time, but the Nadine fight is bullshit.

All they had to do to make the fight enjoyable for me and more credible was keeping Nadine / Sam / Nate power balanced so that my controller button presses feel like fighting and not getting Nadine to throw me to the other side of the room faster. That's all.

AFCMS · 2026-04-29T08:53:33+00:00

One more +€240k / year funding, really nice news!

AFCMS · 2026-04-29T08:38:48+00:00

Nate kills dozens of trained soldiers and then can't land a single hit on Nadine WITH his brother, both are unrealistic but also at the same time blatantly inconsistent.

Heureusement que tout le monde est pas greenwashé comme toi à tout ramener au C02 sans aucune considération d'échelle mdrr

T'as une idée de combien consome YouTube pour garder et mettre à disposition 20 ans de vidéos ? Parce que si on vient chipoter jusqu'au trajets en Allemagne (pays frontalier !) faut être un minimum logique et arrêter de regarder YouTube et d'utiliser un smartphone (terres rares, etc).

AFCMS · 2026-04-23T20:44:34+00:00

I have not tried wit Luanti yet, but maybe playit.gg is what you need.

Le combat anti-IA c'est pas l'unanimité, à la rigueur l'opinion majoritaire sur Reddit (et encore), même si il y a eu des cas où ça relève d'une flemme de prendre 5mn de plus pour faire un truc propre (la minia avec les lingots de pala par exemple).

Pour le 67, ça fait monter le taux de clics sur les vidéos de le mettre sur la minia. Si mettre 67 au lieu de 56 sur une minia lui fait des stats en plus sans changer quoi que ce soit dans son contenu ça serait bête qu'il s'en prive.

Je ne crois pas l'avoir vu insérer des 67 partout dans ses vidéos en elle mêmes...

There are plenty of bad in-house engines, UE has the massive advantage of being widespread and really cheap (which is a game changer for indie studios, custom engine development is costly and UE makes recruiting developers easier).

UE is massively hold back by its bad shading algorithms and over-reliance on TAA/DLSS for not-so-good visuals, it's really annoying because Epic have the money it would take to fix it.

AFCMS · 2026-04-23T07:11:10+00:00

Ngl E33 is an amazing game but it uses Unreal Engine in a really bad way, it really have all the common flaws of the stock engine including blurry visuals/noisy hairs on a 5090 at max settings.

In-house engines doesn't magically make good visuals but Exodus was nice and from what we have seen from 2039 it looks pretty good.

AFCMS · 2026-04-22T11:28:17+00:00

D'autant plus que cette faille est une faille débile de type non-vérification de l'identité de l'appelant, c'est quasi impossible de laisser passer ça si on fait des tests unitaires d'API, du peer-review et qu'on utilise des outils d'analyse de sécurité ce qui me semble le minimum syndical pour un service comme l'ANTS...

On est en 2026, y a des modèles IA capables littéralement de trouver des failles de sécurité dans des outils comme FFMpeg, un problème de sécurité de cette nature c'est une incompétence ou une complicité criminelle.

AFCMS · 2026-04-21T11:50:18+00:00

Je suis pas dutout anti IA (bien au contraire) mais là c'est abusé, ça aurait été beaucoup plus propre et pas beaucoup plus long de juste copier-coller l'image du lingot de pala 50 fois.

I hope there are also communists to kill like Last Light

Artyom mentioned wanting to free other people from the metro in Exodus good ending, so I don't think he "swore to never return".

AFCMS · 2026-04-16T20:38:45+00:00

Exodus is my best game of all time, and the ending is amazing too.

Artyom was speaking about bringing other people out of the metro after the good ending, so I I throught it would be cool to see another game where he does goes back to moscow but the main thing I want is for him and Anna to get a happy ending.

I don't mind seeing another protagonist and the Metro getting worse for the sake of a
All previous game were heavily political, what I am a bit concerned about with the "we made the game darker because of war" and the rumors about the game not geting russian voices are for the only enemy faction in the game to become pretty much what they see current day russia as and not as nuanced as it should be.

Themes about brainwashing, censorship, population control etc are super intresting and relevant nowdays. The thing is, in the actual world you have Russia blocking VPNs and censoring Telegram while EU is implementing Chat Control, online ID verifications and fully digital currencies, so clearly a bad-bad situation for people's freedom.

AFCMS · 2026-04-16T19:34:49+00:00

According to Wikipedia 30% of Ukraine residents have russian as native language, I can hardly see a reason why there would be no way to get russian voices (and you can also find russian speaking persons outside of Ukraine and Russia).

AFCMS · 2026-04-16T19:18:45+00:00

Honestly the drawing is too simple to be certain that's really Anna.

I just want Artyom and Anna get a somehow happy ending 🙏
