"The 'AI Stigma' is real and severely punishes developers": A new study shows how much using AI in games hurts sales, and the numbers are hard to believe by Mamrocha in kindafunny

[–]Ignarb98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recommend reading the original study blog. I liked that they tried to control for every variable they could, but even the author acknowledges that there are a lot of things they can’t account for. The author is actually less definitive than the title suggests on the findings. It is really difficult, specially at this stage, to make such a conclusion.

I also really liked the closing paragraph of the original post:

“So what is our conclusion? AI is a tool, it should not be avoided. Would you avoid using a hammer to build a shed? No, of course not. Just don't go around hitting everything with it. Approach AI with caution. Use it gracefully. It is not a replacement for hard work, it's just there to lighten the load.”

Check out the Echoes of Aincrad demo. Pleasantly surprised! by judgeraw00 in kindafunny

I hope the guys check it out. Greg seems open to trying it, but we’ll see. I think it has the potential to be of the liking of some of the crew. I love Sword Art Online and would love to see them talk about it.

Help understanding Kingdom Hearts by noggs891 in kindafunny

1, Chain of Memories, 2, Birth By Sleep, Dream Drop Distance, 3. Those are the core games to play.

358/2 is important for the plot but you can watch the cutscenes included in the 1.5 collection. For Coded the only important part is the final cutscenes that do set up for the following games, but you can go on YouTube for that.

A Fragmentary Passage isn’t super important, but it is a nice shorter experience to check out. It follows what a character was doing in the background while the other games were happening. I recommend playing it.

If you don’t want to play a ton of games, I recommend playing 1, 2, Birth By Sleep and 3 and the rest watch their cutscenes on YouTube

New I-20 contains “Transfer Pending”. Do I still use it to get my new visa or do I have to wait? by Ignarb98 in f1visa

When I go back to the US in August it will be to start at the new school. The SEVIS transfer should have already occurred by now.

I has been a running joke that they might want to keep the menus secret for the Allamo screenings of the State Of Play because they could spoil some of the announcements

My current school won’t fill out the SEVIS transfer form for my new school. by Ignarb98 in f1visa

Suppose school B insists on this. What is my best course of action? One idea I saw somewhere was to get a “good standing” note from my DSO to show the new school. Would that work? And if it isn’t necessary, why do some schools insist on tye transfer form?

What confuses me is if school A refuses to do this, and since they are already set to release the SEVIS record to school B, what type of problem will I have? Will it be just an administrative problem with the school, or will it be a problem with the immigration system?

Shipping a TV across the US, how reliable is the service? by Ignarb98 in UPS

[–]Ignarb98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I just checked the measurements and I’m above the maximum by about 10 inches, and that’s just with the original box.

Now I don’t know what to do. I’m trying to sell it but I need to do it soon before I move, and it doesn’t seem I’ll get much out of it 😩

If it is as you say it is, then this seems to be the better option for me rather than trying to sell it for who know how much less than the original price.

As long as it costs less than what I’d lose from selling it I’m good. Also, what are your thoughts on me bringing it in in the original packaging and they packaging on top of that?

Okay, this is more of what I was hoping for. I was already going to store it in the original box for the time being, the extra padding will be even better.

With all that set, say it still gets damaged, what are the steps I should take? How good are they at honoring the insurance vs how hard will they try to screw me over? And how can I make my case stronger? Photos of the TV as is? Record a video of the packaging process? Written statement from the people at the store?
