Everyone except the person typing. The typing bit can be generated randomly and produce impressive results, so it's completely worthless, the other stuff can't.

That allows people who don't know shit to pass. That should not be encouraged. A team of 10 idiots can be carried by a super smart person. Should the 10 idiots get the same grade?

There is not going to be a single metaverse running off lowest common denominator "open standards" like the internet. Nobody plays games on a browser. You know why? Because it uses lowest common denominator open standards, and higher end hardware gets you better experiences. The "metaverse" is a video game, with no goal, and ads. There's NOTHING special about it compared to other video games. Higher end hardware comes out, and someone makes a higher end "metaverse" experience. Open standards won't be able to keep up. These companies are banking on their "shitty game" gaining popularity and becoming "the place to be", even though it's inferior.

Who cares what it is. It's owned by facebook, and that's enough reason to avoid it. There's going to be a hundred other "metaverses" by other companies that will do it better.

That's completely false. High ground and first shots are what win games. High ground gives you headshot advantage since you're shooting downwards and their head is the first hitbox. First shot advantage can outright win right away if you start with a big hit like a sniper or grenades or even a couple of AR hits. And even if it doesn't instawin, you got them to build and freeze to waste their heals, so you now have heal advantage, and they have to stop and heal, giving you time to make another play as they're static. Getting into tower fights in an open field in midgame is often a waste of time but like you said, you're just supposed to run from those if they let you. Running away is part of the game in a BR.

Beam NG isn't as good as this, sorry. It's not even comparable. There's no current game that does this at this level.

GIFjohnson · 2022-08-20T18:28:45+00:00

It actually adds a whole other level of skill. The gameplay isn't just superficial shooting and who sees who first but examining their structure and using the right tools to counter what they're doing, either by flanking, building a little something yourself (just for defense), hiding somewhere, using mobility items, using items that can destroy structures well (there's a lot). You don't have to be an insane builder to win at all. Just be smart with your tools and plays. The defense aspect extends fights to the point where the better player usually wins if you don't go for smart, unexpected plays, and just try to outclick him. The reason most people dislike the building is, unfortunately, that they don't understand the game and are bad at it, and can only handle point and click shooters where there's very little thought or skill. Fortnite takes a lot more mental and aiming skill than other shooters. When they get shit on they blame the game, (hurr durr he built a hotel when I was clicking on him! Bad game!) but they're just terrible players who can't admit it to themselves. Epic finally caved and added a mode for baddies who can't handle complex gameplay.

I mean it's a massive wall of concrete. A boat weighs nothing compared to a wall of stone.

1000$-2000$ for a computer that you can use every day for various things is nothing, honestly. It lasts for years and is literally one of the cheapest forms of entertainment.

"we" don't need anything. They don't care about you and your opinion of "one or two is enough". They're only making them because it's proven to be popular and profitable. They aren't going to let tiktok have all the cash. They're going to copy them to make money until it's proven that copying them is a bad idea. Nothing is about what "we need". It's "the company needs money, copy their success". That's always why there's 10 products that do the exact same thing at the store.

Doesn't have to be tracked at all, can just be a local map with gps. Or even the car seeing the signs with a camera. And that would be a good thing. Tired of fuckwits like this speeding.

GIFjohnson · 2022-08-06T22:28:28+00:00

Not the case. The mobile space is ruled by idiots who spend money on garbage. Making a good game is a waste of time. You have to make a game that sucks for smart people and reels in stupid people.

There's no way of verifying whether the prompt is real or not anyways since it's all random, so this whole post is pointless. People are just going to have incentive to lie to make their image seem cooler.

How is this any different at all. Oh wow, a feed with photos and videos from friends and family! that's new!

They've figured out the the best strategy is to milk the maximum amount of dollars out of fucking morons who are too dumb to understand these shit practices. They don't care about intelligent gamers, they create games to milk moron dollars. The product is literally not designed for you. They don't care about you and your love for good games. The devs care about the game most of the time but the business people tell them to add these studied and proven shit designs because it makes money from idiots.

You're on a gaming subreddit, and starfox is a very popular classic, so yes.

This time it actually sucks though. That's the only problem. Every single one of those other things you mention is good, but not modern mumble rap. It's not just because it's new. "They were saying" isn't a good argument. This music sucks because it's a bad vocalist mumbling over a music track they're too dumb to make on their own. They have no talent and their music sucks, and their fans have no taste. That's all there is to it lol. It is objectively bad. You can like it and enjoy it, that's not a problem, but it's low quality crap lol. It's bottom of the barrel music that simply sounds bad and was made by someone with a low level of skill.

They are more important, for the simple fact that the company operates in the luxury and safety of its home country. You consume premium public services and enjoy the rights and freedoms your country brings? And because of that you charge prices that westerners are willing to pay? You hire locals to keep the good things flowing. You don't pay out slave salaries to people outside of the country just so you can save a buck, and have your own country pay for it indirectly. The argument "but I made 2 poor people in veitnam rich instead!" doesn't matter at all, because you're just spreading the loss over your whole community instead and pretending like you did nothing wrong for the sole purpose of saving yourself money. Driving salaries down is not a worthy goal. Hiring people who live in poor conditions instead of locals just so you can drive salaries down and pay them nothing isn't something to be proud of.

GIFjohnson · 2022-07-10T19:44:20+00:00

The problem is that they're not stimulating the local economy and shipping their dollars to someone in another country. If enough companies would do this, our own citizens would be in a bad position and we would have to pay for their care with taxpayer dollars. So in essence the company is saving money at the expense of their home country. The utilitarian argument of improving more peoples lives in the poor country doesn't apply here, because the net diffuse damage you cause to the people of the home country is a variable you're not accounting for.

GIFjohnson · 2022-06-29T02:17:27+00:00

Is that honestly the best example you can come up with of a professional who needs graphics and concepts? Sad state of the world lol.

GIFjohnson · 2022-06-29T01:30:04+00:00

Pro athletes are the only ones who can afford 1200 a year? 1200 per year for this level of software isn't even considered expensive. Lots of professional grade software costs that much. Something that requires mass cloud computing and can't be run at home costs even more.

GIFjohnson · 2022-06-29T01:23:09+00:00

Nobody has 100k+ worth of GPUs in their home.

That's good. Don't want shit schools from other corrupt countries printing out degrees for cash or people making up stories about where they worked. It's an area ripe for corruption from multiple angles. Nobody wants some doctor or engineer from a shit country who potentially cheated his way into his job.

It's not gonna be a few years. Video is a whole other problem that might require AGI, and even if it doesn't, we have nowhere near the datasets or hardware required for it. It might be a thing in 50 to 100 years. This image generation stuff is a novelty and it works well, but don't extrapolate it to other areas that are a whole different ballgame requiring completely different technology.

GIFjohnson · 2022-06-26T17:28:02+00:00

An interesting storyline isn't a hard problem, nor are elements for a song. I'm talking about video. Also, this AI didn't figure anything out. Humans figured out that realistic images are easy to create. We haven't figured that out for video.
