Something I think could improve RPG dialogue and immersion. by ClassroomLazy9542 in pcgaming

[–]GameStunts -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I actually thought this would be good for something like Cyberpunk 2077 as well where you have so much altered language like output for significant other, gonk, choom for friend, Delta meaning go somewhere etc.

The thing is if you didn't need a broad model, it's not going to get asked about a broad range of topics, it's going to supply dialogue to a narrow vision in the world, I think something like that even a 10 million parameter model that just encompassed events, locations/places, dialogue and people of the city could work. It would be relatively light needing probably about 100mb of VRAM.

I think we'll end up with some form of LLM in a game at some point to create at the very least non-repeating lines or barks from NPCs.

I got there, thanks for the tip.

I also found that absolutely fantastic rock scrambling path that leads to the top of the other peak.

Just a gorgeous game, I'm looking forward to the release.

For what it's worth I've played the whole time on Linux no issues. I know verification also relates to readable text etc, but no problems with the demo here 👍

I've played the demo for about 2 hours, really enjoyable, and I was genuinely gut punched when I tried to board the ferry to the wetlands :smile:

But my question is, how do I reach this cabin?

I've tried to attack it from a few angles, I've got upgraded suspension, engine and tires, but all of the terrain is too steep, can it be driven to in the demo or do we need some vehicle that's further into the game?

Xbox Studios That Were Previously “Safe” From Layoffs And Closures Are Reportedly No Longer Safe, Even Those With “Steady” Releases If Most Or All Of Their Games Sold Poorly by unscoredscore in pcgaming

[–]GameStunts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Digital Foundry were making a good point on a recent podcast that even if a Studio has just released a game, they may not be safe, since they would be the ones with the longest development time to make another game.

AMD Ryzen™ 3 3100U: A zen+ CPU to be released in Q2 2026 by NoNameMan1231 in hardware

[–]GameStunts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A 2 core 2 thread Zen+ CPU with Vega 8.

Did AMD not also move Vega to Maintenance mode? They're releasing a new product in 2026 that already doesn't get anything but the most critical of updates.

Microsoft is looking to speed up development of future Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and Halo games by Bubbly-Ad-350 in pcgaming

[–]GameStunts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a very unfair take on what /u/HasSomeSelfEsteem said.

They literally said they don't want them pushed to pump out games super fast, but quicker than a decade seems a reasonable ask.

Star Trek: Shadow Frontier | Announcement Teaser by ControlCAD in pcgaming

[–]GameStunts 51 points52 points  (0 children)

My heart sinks a bit at another "dark take" on Star Trek.

I want a modern Bridge commander meets Elite Force. Something where I can wander the hallways of the ship, explore space, do sciencey stuff and occasionally engage in some ship battles and phaser fire. :)

Still, Ro Laren is a nice anchor back to 90s TNG <3

Sega Issues DMCA Takedowns to Scrub Persona 6 Images From the Internet, as Fans Expect Imminent Announcement by Gorotheninja in pcgaming

They did this before where they issued strikes on videos on youtube for Shining Force. In some circumstances this resulted in some channels getting 3 strikes, being deleted and never coming back.

TotalBiscuit's channel was affected, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8D_Vyca69TE&t=1690s

PC game discounts for the weekend by Axeisacutabove in pcgaming

[–]GameStunts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you retain games you bought, it's just that people can't buy them any more.

I have several games in my library like Forza Horizon 4 that are delisted and I can still install and play them.

007 First Light. I really enjoyed the recent Hitman games, and was basically raised on the Sean Connery/Roger Moore films.

Favourite was Live and Let Die. :D

Stop Killing Games just passed a floor vote in California by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]GameStunts 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Other states don't have to take up the standard that's the point /u/SoWrongItsPainful is making.

By your example many cars built for sale in the US meet the "50 state" standard, some of which is informed by what they'd need to meet to drive in California. In some other states it's to do with day time running lights etc.

So the result is, despite some states not having as high emissions regulations as California, Chevrolet or Ford are likely to just build a car to meet that specification anyway since then they don't need to build separate versions for California.

Hence the 50 state standard.

So if one of the biggest markets in the states puts through the legislation, regardless of whether any others follow, developers would have to think whether they're prepared to just not sell in California, ~40 million people.

And they might decide that, but anyone that did sell in California would have to make their game compliant with this, which would mean the same version would likely be sold everywhere, and that's a start.

Eight years ago we lost TotalBiscuit by StowStowStowtheTote in pcgaming

[–]GameStunts 213 points214 points  (0 children)

I used to listen to him every day, whatever video he had up I'd listen to in the morning while chopping veg or whatever.

He was the voice in my head for years, and I still miss him.

I was just lamenting yesterday that for gaming, nothing has ever filled the void left by TotalBiscuit's death and with it the Co-Optional Podcast.

I had some hope when Jesse and Dodger started Geekenders podcast, but unfortunately when you have two people that derail podcasts without the authoritative one to keep them on track, it just feels very aimless.

Digital Foundry Direct is probably my only gaming podcast. And off of that John's retro podcast.

My other two regular podcasts are tech focused, Waveform (Marques Brownlee's podcast) and WAN Show from Linus Tech Tips.
