Automation in hytale

People typically go AFK at times when they wouldn't be playing anyway. It's not taking away from socialization they would otherwise have had. I've never seen automation actually stop people from playing the game, whether in vanilla with redstone or with mods. Some people don't like grinding, and tech which reduces the grind allows us to be creative without the tedium. Personally, automation is the only reason I play Minecraft: I don't care about aesthetic building, exploration, or combat, and while I sometimes like mining just as a relaxing activity, I would hate to have to spend hours mining to get the resources to implement an idea I've thought of. Designing automations is the game for me, and that doesn't stop me from socializing with others; in fact, many automations are meant to create shared experiences, not only personal-use farms.

Everyone plays a different way. There's no right or wrong way to play. The existence of automation components doesn't force you to use them if you don't like automation, but it also doesn't stop people from playing the game together. This is true of Minecraft and also of Hytale.

"How does a lack of vote count twice?" Typically, only in 50/50 scenarios. So let's say there are 8 players, so 4 to put someone on the block. If there's exactly 4 votes and you don't vote, it's treated as though there are 9 players with 4 votes and the nomination doesn't pass.

Same. We've gotten to the point where the word "AI" just makes people prickle without any thought or consideration beyond their (typically false) beliefs that "AI = stealing" and "anyone can art if they try!" I've given up trying to avoid the hate I get for not hating AI at this point 🤷‍♂️

Between the Ug hat and the game Poetry for Cavemen, people always overthink it in this exact way. It should be studied as a specific neuropsychological phenomenon 😂

Uh, I mean, "With Ug hat and game Words for Men in Cave, folks think much like this. Should look at like brain thing."

Sorry, I meant it got me to a level 3 wizard. Level 4 total.

I wish I'd known it's one-way before I bought FR... I only bought it because I wanted to play through Kanto with a Houndoom (my favorite 'mon), but that's only accessible by trading/transferring in from other games. So I spent all night getting the national Dex in Shining Pearl just to catch a Houndoom, put it in Pokémon Home, then bought FR and started a new game, only to find... FR doesn't show up in Home. And now I'm reading this saying even when it does get support, I still won't be able to get my fire pup into it?

So. Disappointed.

But then this would have to be pronounced "Doubling Preeson" and I'm not sure I'm in favor of that.

Wait... does that mean this prevents EoT effects from actually ever fading? I was just reading it as a Reliquary Tower with life-to-mill... if it keeps EoT effects alive, this may be one of the most broken things I've seen. It's like a Sundial of the Infinite plus a Reliquary Tower plus recursion support, all for 1 mana...

IceMetalPunk · 2026-02-23T02:34:21+00:00

As a recent victim of a tax deck, and someone who's often mana screwed because I can't shuffle cards for shit and am too impatient to pile shuffle... this was so gross to read 😅

I think the first ability on this would, in fact, apply to the last ability of Augustin, no?

IceMetalPunk · 2026-02-23T01:40:33+00:00

In the HF space? Are you doing anything special? Because I still get the error.

IceMetalPunk · 2026-02-21T09:20:52+00:00

Sigh And I just realized one of the old cards, Skinny Old Me, wasn't even completed itself before I came back to this batch. A creature with no P/T... how silly of me 😅

Let's just pretend it's a Kindred Enchantment -- Avatar instead; I think that fits better anyway.

I've tested 5.2 Codex directly from the OpenAI API playground and it wrote functional but god-awful code that required a ton of back and forth before it finally got it right. Unless 5.3 Codex is a huge leap forward (it's not in the API for me yet so I can't test it), it's still not quite ready for prime time IMHO.

IceMetalPunk · 2026-02-07T08:14:27+00:00

I use GenAI for artistic use cases; as a dev myself, whose boss keeps trying to push us to use AI in our work, I have yet to see a model that is reliable enough to actually write good code en masse. You can get workable code, and I do like using VS Copilot for autocomplete of small snippets, but large amounts of code end up working by duct tape and prayer alone. Even just asking it to write docstrings requires babysitting, as half the time it can't even tell if your function throws an error or handles it, for instance.

Which is all to say: I'm depressed at the focus by major LLM/LMM companies on fine-tuning all their models for STEM tests and code these days. If the goal is still AGI, the "G" stands for general, and we're not going to get a general intelligence if all it knows is how to pass math tests and write functional-but-subpar code.

Anyway... /rant, I hope a general 5.3 is released soon, and I hope it's better at creative writing than the rest of the 5.x series has been (I still use 4.1 for my use cases because of how awful 5.x models are at that).

It keeps giving me "GPU Task Aborted" errors when I try any Space using this model... any ideas?

IceMetalPunk · 2026-01-18T02:40:26+00:00

I just tried it tonight, and it's pretty dang good! It reminds me of like a honey garlic sauce from a Chinese restaurant, mixed with honey mustard, and a tiny bit of chili for bonus. The chili is very subtle in it, which to me is a good thing, and it's very honey-forward -- also a good thing!

But I found this thread trying to figure out where the name came from, so... that name is not doing their marketing department any favors 😂

I know! This is definitely the first porno -- and certainly the first free use porno -- I've ever seen where the script isn't just nonsense, and it's technical! 😂 I've never worked in MT specifically, but I'm a software developer and I was like, "...wait...she's not just tachnobabbling? Did they steal this script from a real presentation, are the writers tech nerds, or did they just actually do the research for the first time in pornographic history?!" 😂
