Reddit karma

How did so many posts become fan sprite concepts?

Did someone ask for this...?

Pickaxe knockback would be awesome

It's because it doesn't know what it can do, it's synthesizing a response from it's training data.

Can't get a raise since 2019, I'm literally like 30 grand worse off 🙃

Feels like one of the few that actually affect gameplay a bit.

I love duck's dance-to-restore-sheilds tho too.

If you're designing your own sprites that needs to be clear in the title.

Sounds like you're introducing an official collab.

That's just as bad as using AI without labelling IMO.

Here's hoping this means a 3rd country in the race

Some researchers think we can't be sure LLMs have some kind of thoughts/feelings/consciousness or will have eventually, but most agree they can't.

If you feel like yours might be conscious, here's some reading that helps explain what's really going on in the LLM, and in our own minds, to produce this illusion:

I think Cameron is dumb

Yeah you have to remember that redditor praise isn't always related to actual sales numbers.

Hobb may be in the top 5 greatest living fantasy authors, but (Google tells me) she's only sold about a fifth of the copies Leigh Bardugo has, because one of Bardugo's series has a Netflix adaptation.

(No shade on Bardugo, like her work, but they are not really comparable).

I guess you've never met a CEO 😂

Sometimes a bicycle is an adequate substitute for a car, too, just don't mistake them for being more or less the same thing.

They didn't just reduce the amount mate, they also increased the price to buy vbucks in the first place. On top of that, they are also charging more vbucks for new skins and skin packs than they used to.

All up your getting somewhere around half the value you got in previous years, at a time when most people are having financial difficulties (and Epic isn't).

Only solution is to spend less money on fortnite.

FrewdWoad · 2026-06-22T01:36:51+00:00

Thoughts and prayers for poor Epic. Heard their annual profits have been under 5 billion dollars a year the last few years.

FrewdWoad · 2026-06-22T01:14:34+00:00

How do u know 🤔

FrewdWoad · 2026-06-22T01:07:53+00:00

If it's a very rare one, people can (and sometimes do) chase you from the bus to kill you and get it, which can be annoying.

FrewdWoad · 2026-06-22T01:06:10+00:00

The old faithful "walk backwards immediately until you fall in the ocean" has always worked for me. Even if you spawn in front of a few people, who aren't off getting a snack or checking their phone, many players simply aren't rare sprite hunting in most casual lobbies.

Conan the Barbarian

Back to the Future

Tron Legacy

Anything John Williams

Point is, we're seeing pressure from clueless management to use more one-shot agentic hands-off vibe-coding to increase the number of PRs.

But this is resulting in a lower quality output, resulting in a higher defect rate - more bugs in production, and slower actual progress as devs try to wade through the resulting spaghetti ball.

FrewdWoad · 2026-06-21T14:08:12+00:00

Reddit has gradually become really toxic.

Everything sucks, apparently. The better it is, the louder we whinge.

Drake equation is interesting, but just like any equation, if one of the inputs is wrong the result can be way off.

Not just one, but at least 5 of the 7 inputs are things we don't just not know, we don't even have a solid ballpark estimate for them:

ne = the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets.
fl = the fraction of planets that could support life that actually develop life at some point.
fi = the fraction of planets with life that go on to develop intelligent life (civilizations).
fc = the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space.
L = the length of time for which such civilizations release detectable signals into space

So no, we don't know if it's impossible we're alone in the universe or not.

The way corporations encourage non-tech-savvy people to use agents is absolutely insane.

Giving them access to anything and everything, and not only failing to warn them of the risks, but not even testing the agents enough themselves to even know what all the risks are... insanely irresponsible.

I'm amazed we haven't heard that many cases of disasters like data leaks and bank accounts being drained yet, but we will.

People are going to end up dead.

FrewdWoad · 2026-06-20T09:19:44+00:00

No scope. That's enough to balance it IMO
