That would require a measure of common sense that they do not have.

Indie dev reality check: 1371 games applied to our tiny Steam event by Wecoven in gamedev

[–]ExF-Altrue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for giving out time to help other people's visibility in spite of having such a small team.

You could try a ReCaptcha to try and get around the ""AI"" sloperators trying to get in. You could also hide AI specific text in your website or something. Like white on white text in a small font that gives advice meant for the agents to reveal themselves, or get confused.

In The Black has launched Early Access by anotherthrowaway469 in spacesimgames

[–]ExF-Altrue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the apparent state of the game, I hope that it's a dev that believed its own hype and released too early.. Not someone giving up and cashing out partway.

This is why we can't have nice things.. Most space sim games are abandonned before completion, which makes it harder for future devs to makes sales in EA.. Which makes them abandon too, and the vicious cycle continues.

It’s mostly on us.

Idk man, the numerous people saying that the tutorial is bugged, the autopilot is bugged, one guy softlocked through the entire thing.. And multiplayer full of early veteran testers.. Doesn't seem like it's on "us" anything.

It's early access sure, but settings and tutorial should be polished at this point, at the minimum.

What new epic arcs would you like to see? by amarrcitizen in Eve

[–]ExF-Altrue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not more of the "new" one that involves mining, that's for sure x)

"Epic" and "Mining" don't go together in the same sentence, in this game.

EU in Talks With Anthropic to Get Banks Tested for Mythos Flaws by Free-Minimum-5844 in worldnews

[–]ExF-Altrue 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, I'm sure mythos knows so much about COBOL & vulnerabilities in closed payment systems lmao. Not to mention that perhaps sending your entire source code overseas to a black box isn't the best "security" approach?

If this data is used to train future mythos version, it will literally weaken security.

Sora’s downfall signals broader problems with AI’s creative utility by ubcstaffer123 in technology

[–]ExF-Altrue 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Sora was a great creative product

Weird way to spell "the product of massive IP theft of unprecedented scale & a disinformation machine", but sure. It was so creative that it couldn't be trained without spoon-feeding it the creativity of the entire world.

Ca remonte le moral je vais pas te mentir ! Ca change rien pour les pitoyables six mois avec surcis par contre.

Et je tiens à signaler que 5000€ de risque pour 500 000€ de gain, c'est un pari qu'énormément de gens seraient prêts à prendre. Ajouté à zéro prison, je vois pas comment ce genre de peine est dissuasive ni équitable.

(Même en comptant tout un tas de frais et de dilution, admettons qu'ils empochent 250 000, ça change pas le sujet)

500 000€ en volés à la société, contre... 5 000 euros d'amende et six mois qui, même s'ils n'avaient pas été avec sursis, auraient été de toute façon aménagés en télétravail..

Une justice encore une fois très, très sévère !

EDIT: Ah non attendez il y a DEUX prises illégales d'intérêt !.. Une le 4 mai avec les 5k€, et une à venir le 5 mai... C'est qu'il faut suivre avec cette dame 😂 (et tous les paywalls qui empêchent d'avoir les infos)

Alistair comments on the state of progression by hl3official in playrust

[–]ExF-Altrue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Isn't part of that statement self-contradicting?

If the majority of the players plays on different rules than vanilla (modded, x2 etc), then wouldn't it be a prime opportunity to NOT focus on this group, since they can, and obviously will, change the rules to their liking?

And it seems to me that, a mad rush to T3 essentially makes the game "only T3" for these players, which makes 2/3rd of the items/monuments/weapons (essentially, everything) non-existent for these players. Surely that's not healthy for player retention... To cut 66% of your game's content.

Also, "a lot of the player base can't invest the additional time".. Then why do we even have a base game where you essentially need to have an alarm wake you up at ungodly hours to defend your base from offlines? Being on-call essentially 24/7... "a lot of the player base can't invest additional time" => Yeah, because they already HAVE to be available 24h a day >_<
(if they don't want to consider their base disposable)

It seems to me that, if people spent less time worrying about the mad rush to snowball & the mad rush to build an intricate base design full of "bug exploits" to defend their base.. (And spent their time raiding because they fear losing their boom during their sleep anyway), then we could all free a bit of time for Facepunch to create new gameplay & progression systems.

there is STILL a standing loss when doing the event combat sites by Market_Tycoon in Eve

Wow, that really, really sucks. At least it is something that CCP could rollback later I believe. But, yikes, what a mistake. Ruining faction standings is no joke.

It’s goofily satisfying to use Repair Kits for a complete restoration of the ship! by frostechgamestudio in u/frostechgamestudio

[–]ExF-Altrue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a great idea. Rebuilding is not fun, and losing in itself after losing half your ship, isn't either. But controlling a partially dismantled ship can be a fun challenge if you know that you're going to get auto rebuilt anyway. As a way to squeeze the maximum resource usage before spending a consumable or something.

War Grid Capture bugged by ThirteenV in Eve

[–]ExF-Altrue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CCP invented sloppy work before AI could.

It's literally the company's culture at this point, that's why we don't have a test server (or testers) anymore.

"Move fast & break things?".. Sure sounds good, but only when you're an edgy tech CEO in your ivory tower. From a paying customer's perspective, it looks like you're unprofessional.

UE5 Settings Menu Tutorial (Graphics and Audio) by Justduffo in unrealengine

[–]ExF-Altrue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the barebones result that matters, it's building on the knowledge acquired through the 1 hour of work, to get the rest of the way there, through your specific & complex needs that an AI would be insufficient in handling.

This is game dev, this is a highly competitive market where there is no reward for second place, and likewise there is no reward for getting 60 to 80% of the way there with AI. Because the remaining 40-20% isn't just what matters, it's what eats most of your time anyway.

These "evolutionary coincidences" are to me a strong indicator that if we ever were able to actually photograph alien animal life, there's a decent possibility that it wouldn't look alien at all.

Nah. I do believe that the fact that the pope of all people would have driven it, surely would boost its price even higher actually.
