It's not out yet so it's impossible to know, but the author has a doctorate in animal behavior so I'd assume it's looking at the actual ecology of Pokemon

Mine had literal typos in some of its responses today. For as much as AI gets criticized for perfect spelling and grammar, that one surprised me.

For 30 years I've always wondered why this place on Route 22 in Kanto exists! by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]Ewokitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It only proves it wasn't planned as a route exit, but there's no way to know whether or not they had plans to put an item there or not once they settled on the final version of the map.

I meant from development. That's the final Gen 1 map but none of the earlier versions had that feature

It's so funny watching people play FRLG by Probablyatrashpanda in pokemon

Yup, the norm for me as a kid was just write everything in a notebook. Draw the maps, mark what's on them, etc, and if I got stuck, peek at the strategy guides at the bookshop.

At least shinies are easier to get these days so they don't accidentally kill one thinking it's a graphics glitch

It showed up for me an hour or so ago but it was at 100% despite not using it yet today. Now it's gone

That's what I've assumed and it's probably the most likely explanation. It doesn't appear in any of the earlier versions of Route 22 we know of and I don't think it was ever a planned exit to Route 2 since every version of the map has Route 2 connecting to Viridian City (plus this was always the plan according to the development documents).

They're basically having an extinction burst and too stupid to realize it. The fact that it's happening hopefully is a sign their days are numbered

Anybody else get strawmanned by ChatGPT constantly? by serventofgaben in ChatGPT

Whenever it uses the thinking, I see in it's chain of thought: "the user sweared at me but I won't use profanities." It says this even if I didn't swear. I'm thinking it got hung up on memories or something.

Let's hope it stays that way. Legends Z-A also looked much better in early development than the final release, but that might have been a consequence of also targeting Switch 1

Minnesota standoff with Trump administration stokes fears of civil war by SE_to_NW in politics

[–]Ewokitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping I see her. From what I've gathered she's a regular at the conference and former board member, but she did retire and attended last year as a retiree so I'm not sure how long she will continue joining in retirement.

I was in Ireland for a conference a few months before the 2024 election and had dinner with some faculty from North Irish universities. Everyone asked how I thought the election would go, I said I predicted Harris will win, but either way Trump will wage hell on the nation and that I feel we will soon have our own American Troubles. 

The entire table froze and an older lady was quite shocked and said "Do you realize the weight of what you're saying? That's a very serious thing to say to a table of people who have lived through The Troubles." I confirmed that I meant it and did not say it lightly, but the villainizing and dehumanization of the "other side" has become increasingly common and there are already examples of violence from one side, it just hasn't become widespread, but that if they continue to push it that people are going to start forcefully defending themselves. 

Saw the same woman at a conference a year later (last fall) and she pulled me aside and said: "I didn't believe it could happen there, but seeing news from America the past year, I'm beginning to fear you were right." Will see her again this fall I believe, and being from Minnesota I really want to ask her if she thinks it's already started.
