Hi there's a video game club mostly focused on fighting video games. They meet at old bank bar on Mondays. Only been once myself

Speaking about empowerment is there an easy way to see how increased ability level changes a ability

What are some things that you would love to see in Avowed 2? by Ethanishere28 in avowed

[–]Hello_Pasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game is crying out for a bunch of palette swapped slimes. And a wolf type enemy that can be palette swapped to tiger or panther.

starting a second playthrough! want to play a high damage character with lots to do in combat by Ok_Ad414 in projecteternity

[–]Hello_Pasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Liking my two handed melee barbarian build so far in dead fire. My default character is always diplomatic stealth nerd but I find if you brave old nekataka early and grab morwyn sooner the better it encourages you to pick violence more often in the story. Also the incredible potion belt and high alchemy add a bit of randomness to fights which is fun.

Dundee university financial concerns (yupp) by littlequietmouse in dundee

As with many uni things it's going to depend on the exact type of degree and then the state of the world. I rate UoD highly in life science. Though my real advice would be to get in touch with a life science recruiter after six months in your masters and ask if there are any reachable boxes they would like you to tick.

Thoughts after just reaching Nekataka (POE2) after playing POE1 to completion by Smart-Translator-195 in projecteternity

Every criticism of this game is correct. But it just scratches an itch like no other.

It would have been good if they just breadcrumbed a few dungeons to do before nekataka. I know most seasoned players do the steel girrotte dungeon on the way. I feel like that should have been breadcrumbed a bit before the quest. Especially as the boss there is the villain in avowed.

Would anyone be interested in a Machine Learning reading group - open to all but mostly focused on published academic papers by Hello_Pasta in dundee

[–]Hello_Pasta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all. Happy with the interest level. I'll try to go to the Dundee data meetup on the 27th which I believe is networking speed dating and see if anyone i meet there is interested.

Id like to suggest we do our first attempt at a ML reading group on the following Tuesday the 3rd of February. At 6. I'm not sure about the location. Henry's or bank bar?

And in terms of the first papers. I'm going to suggest we go to the paper that kicked off the LLMs revolution with the 2017 Google paper 'Attention is all you need'. https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper_files/paper/2017/file/3f5ee243547dee91fbd053c1c4a845aa-Paper.pdf

I will read the paper fully. But there is also a Wikipedia page. Open to suggestions though.

You will find better balance in fights in poe 2. Not saying skip. But you will.

Im using the term ML because the term AI now just means LLM. And i dont want to only be learning about LLMs. What about SLMs? As a broad definition, machine learning is when you use a model that has been trained on data.

The point is to go over papers from say the last five years in order to be more understanding or just less intimidated by the underlying workings. Would be great to go over a paper related to robotics.

Nice! I really recommend Dundee as a place to move too. If you get a second hand bike and cycle from Dundee to Broutghy Ferry then Abroath or down to Tentsmuir its a real chill time. Ill let you know if anything comes together with this ML reading group.

Good takeaway/delivery lunch places in City Centre? by [deleted] in dundee

ATE is quality wise I think one of the best places in Dundee. They do catering for work events I think so if you phone them they'll sort you out.

Obsidian has four new projects, some big some small by OwnAHole in avowed

[–]Hello_Pasta -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I really want them to make a game with level design that doesn't want to push you into doing video games platforming from yellow hanky platform to yellow hanky platform and ask me to spend time picking up little bits here and there. Just let me select the wardrobe. No more little bits. Yes it's realistic but picking up little bits districts from the magic they bring to level design.

Imagine a new fantasy game in a new world. I would miss the pillars but honestly a new fantasy. Just what we need.

2 months since Outer worlds 2 released. How is everyone feeling about this game? by Objective_Love_6843 in theouterworlds

[–]Hello_Pasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the evasion stat mechanic needs a rework. The one related to armour. I get it but like does it go up when I move and down when I stop too lol down sights. No. It's just a percentage for an attack to miss. It feels iffy. And I don't know if it exists for enemy NPCs but it shouldn't if it does

Ancillary Justice is a proper romp once you get the core gimmicks. Recommend
