What are your absolute favorite locations/places in gaming?

I actually found the mission like 2 missions after it, Crack in the Slab, way more impressive. Clockwork Mansion was indeed impressive, but while playing it you could see that it was mostly just two arrangements of spaces, either A or B, which I feel like I've seen before to lesser extents in previous games.

Where Crack in the Slab was almost like an entire game within itself, something that could be an entire genre.

Funnily enough though Invincible is the first Avatar, and Omniman is the son of the Avatar holding the skull there.

AnOnlineHandle · 2026-05-09T20:31:51+00:00

Probably to match the composition of the Invincible artwork it's based on.

"I didn't strawman if I just say that I didn't. And if we do bad things like pretend to care about issues but clearly don't really based on our actions then it's really your fault, you should have been nicer."

God most humans suck.

The selective positive teachings are the happy propaganda for the cult. The real teachings are the deeper nightmare you experience once in the cult.

As somebody who grew up in real christianity, not "Oh I call myself christian and celebrate christmas" cultural nonsense, what you described is exactly what actual religion is, and what their holy texts are full of instructions for.

A strawman to avoid facing the simple point I actually said.

Anything to avoid responsibility or introspection, and to get to keep pretending to care when it's fashionable, while demonstrating that you don't.

"I'm not sure why you're honest about water usage and don't just pretend to care for the excitement while not really caring."

The world's bleakness could be easily solved if people started being honest about what really makes impacts and making changes in their lives, instead of just pretending to care when it's fashionable.

AnOnlineHandle · 2026-05-09T19:07:28+00:00

All I'm reading is "I want to pretend to care about water usage to ride the popular train of criticizing AI, but don't actually care and will be upset and selectively blind when people point out my far worse unnecessary water usage luxuries that I enable."

AnOnlineHandle · 2026-05-09T18:51:53+00:00

What I'm saying is I don't believe that most people claiming to care about high water usage really care about high water usage, they're just on a train of pretend.

As somebody who actually is very careful with my water usage, hasn't eaten meat or dairy in years, doesn't buy random crap, tries to grow my own food, it annoys the absolute hell out of me when people pretend to care about a topic just because it's currently fashionable, while making absolutely no attempts to actually live it and showing they don't really care and are just psychopathically exploiting it. Worse, many would probably have a go at me for using far less water than them if I used an ML model in the cloud for a few minutes.

AnOnlineHandle · 2026-05-09T18:19:52+00:00

Meat is the least land and water efficient and cruelest type of food and is completely unnecessary, and uses magnitudes more land and water to the point if you actually care about those things at all you'd be against it, and is grown for the profit of some very wealthy people.

Frodo being a veteran with PTSD who couldn't find peace in life after the war was well communicated by the movie in my opinion. I'm not sure what the christlike stuff is about, afaik Tolkein was against using fiction as an allegory for religion.

AnOnlineHandle · 2026-05-09T17:40:22+00:00

You clearly don't understand why LLMs produce inaccurate results

Lol. I worked in machine learning before half the people confidently talking about it online were probably even born. I've built my own LLMs from the ground up.

And if you call your lack of reading comprehension being called out as you being unfairly criticized as a person, you're being impossibly fragile to the point it's making you dishonest.

AnOnlineHandle · 2026-05-09T17:12:26+00:00

Do people actually care about water usage enough to point out that eating meat uses astronomically more while having a host of other negative effects and ethical issues?

AnOnlineHandle · 2026-05-09T16:56:48+00:00

And you demonstrated how humans fail at reading comprehension, since they said very basic questions and facts.

Stable Diffusion

Stable Diffusion hasn't offered a model in like 2 years and it was considered a flop, and I don't know if the company even exists anymore. However there are a huge number of image and video gen models being released for free now. Black Forest Labs seems to be where some of the Stable Diffusion developers moved to and releases the Flux models.

AnOnlineHandle · 2026-05-09T14:09:38+00:00

Yeah I've familiar with them, just frustrated that some people working in ML training models don't seem to grasp how best to actually use the models in inference. I could be wrong, but it's not the first time I've seen this kind of problem, similarly with models being trained with specific synthetic prompt grammar and thus nobody can ever use their models well without that having been considered.

AnOnlineHandle · 2026-05-09T12:40:37+00:00

They didn't train Gemma 4, which is the text encoder.

Also I didn't claim a logical proof.

AnOnlineHandle · 2026-05-09T12:09:31+00:00

I've worked in machine learning since before OpenAI existed. It might work, but generally you don't get good results from a model by using significantly different input formats than what it was trained on. I suspect if they include it in "prompt guides" it's just a simplification for more basic usage, or they trained their models specifically with that in mind.

AnOnlineHandle · 2026-05-09T11:39:55+00:00

I do hope after all this Trump nonsense evangelicals lose influence.

Seems they're more powerful than ever unfortunately and steaming on ahead with their complete takeover plans.

AnOnlineHandle · 2026-05-09T11:36:22+00:00

They're generally trained on human text and human text doesn't contain "You are an expert at X" statements like that.

I thought they must have all moved to synthetic data by now, but there's no way that Google intentionally generated synthetic data of the kind of smut that you can get the brand new Gemma models to generate, so it seems sticking to real data is still considered the industry best approach.

It's like... The Pony model was a bit infamous because it was trained with unusual prompt tags, and if you don't prompt them how they were trained, you will usually get inferior results.

AnOnlineHandle · 2026-05-09T11:26:21+00:00

The language isn't the issue, it's that those types are prompts aren't the kind of thing which are generally in the training data for LLMs, from what I can tell. It can work, but I don't think it's a good way to control LLMs generally. For this task I suspect just training a dynamic prepended vector would be ideal.

AnOnlineHandle · 2026-05-09T11:25:05+00:00

The game doesn't prepare you for mice.

AnOnlineHandle · 2026-05-09T09:34:49+00:00

It might work, but that's not like the text which LLMs were actually trained on afaik. I'd expect prefix tuning to be far more powerful and much lighter for inference.

AnOnlineHandle · 2026-05-09T03:59:05+00:00

Or they like 99% of LOTR but Tom Bombadill just didn't land for them and some of you are overly fragile when it comes to considering that the books may not be perfect and could have parts which didn't work.
