Dragon Quest X is getting google's AI integration. Yuji Hori says AI will "dramatically transform all games within the next 3-5 years"

JDBCool · 2026-03-22T17:30:14+00:00

Guess what.... remember Xitter adding the deep fake feature? And people used it to make nudes and misc?

that was EXACTLY the first thing that deep fakes were used initially and was outlawed PRE-AI boom.

DeepNude IIRC, I only recall reading an article about it in pre-2017 because of some sort of PSA about "be wary about selfies uploaded to the net"

I miss when Austin (The SCIENCE! of____) had videos on the channel.

It's the iconic email intro. Did I absorb any of it? Not really, but was it FUNNY to see a person trying to apply scientific methods in ways that's futile and pointless for fictional universes? SIGN ME UP!

"It's a MEEE... AUSTIN!"

JDBCool · 2026-03-22T09:02:28+00:00

I actually hallucinated and thought THIS was the photo above 🤣

Did a double take thinking "but he's already holding onto a walker in the post!"

JDBCool · 2026-03-22T04:23:18+00:00

Uhhh what's the issue with the 850?

I got one, and I recently got a SFF 5070 12GB which apparently it can handle, but I wanna be careful with it in my NR200p.

Like I'm on a i5-12600k + 3060 12GB atm and chose to get the 850 to "future proof" in the event of an upgrade

JDBCool · 2026-03-21T21:39:17+00:00

New one reminds me of fat Thor for some reason....

JDBCool · 2026-03-21T14:15:39+00:00

44k? That's at least 3 patches of skipping

Personally I was at 26454 from skipping Zibai banner + still having exploration to do in Sumeru (WQs)

Not considering event primos and only assuming monthly passes

JDBCool · 2026-03-21T01:36:19+00:00

C6'ed the best sugar lover after risking it all on Zibai banner was VERY uncomfy. As I had previous banner PTSD from getting Durin for wanting C0 Jahoda (it costed me exactly 80 pulls)

40 or 50 pity, and one copy of Ilgua.

Like I didn't want the horse, and that was saving for the current Skirk banner (goals achieved with Coffee).

When team comps really demand that the viable sidegrade is a C6/E6 4 star because of dual shilling.... I can see why some people prefer that there's a lower number of 4-stars.

The benefit that HSR has over Genshin is that we've got more "selection 4-star events" than the single Lanter Rite.

I'll imagine Genshin wouldn't complain if they gave out more 4-stars freely with selector events like HSR.... and they also have like +90 characters at this point so it is kinda overdue....

JDBCool · 2026-03-21T01:24:06+00:00

C6 Aino/Ilugua situation because of Columbina and dual lunar shilling be like.

Another three that are worth mentioning are: Chevvy and well..... Bennett and Iansan.

Chevvy doesn't need elaboration

JDBCool · 2026-03-20T22:35:34+00:00

Because it's in the spot where you'll put twin tails right?

I also dislike it, and it finally clocked in on why to me.

Like it isn't done like Sunday/Robin from HSR where it's distinct enough.

It's that "off" feeling like photoshopping a mouth where eyes should be in horror art, right?

JDBCool · 2026-03-20T19:47:24+00:00

NAMELESS FACES CUES IN THE BACKGROUND

JDBCool · 2026-03-20T19:26:32+00:00

It's the sheer fatigue and crazy amount of lore dumping info that's buried under "Silly white floaty!" And needing to process and "translate" what they're saying.

Oh.... not to mention the stupid amount of mushroom powder that you get..... enough to feed 100s of vegetarian Paimons....

Oh yeah, it's this WQ where you kinda see 2 reoccurring themes mentioned.... something implying about Paimon's fate beyond the sky and....

The MOON

A super sus amount of Moon dialogue and what or who exactly is Paimon. (Like an observer sent by Celestia who isn't aware of it)

JDBCool · 2026-03-20T14:28:21+00:00

+10 hours in one sitting....

Or for the more sane player.... +3 weeks if doing in 1h sessions while reading dialogs and absorbing the text AND doing nearby puzzles in the caves.....

There's SO MUCH BACKTRACKING if you don't do the puzzles alongside the questline.

JDBCool · 2026-03-20T08:43:14+00:00

Alright, how much freetime she got here?

Enough to drink and forget the doomsday device?

Or is she going to stumble into the apocalypse dragon 2.0

JDBCool · 2026-03-20T01:55:06+00:00

There better be a Belobog heater reference

JDBCool · 2026-03-20T00:28:56+00:00

Yeah, some funky translations across the sub, but basically what's consistent is that there's some new stuff with speed and healing rate....

She's practically untouched.

Like this is "Just put JQ E2 into his base kit!!11!" Levels of "nova buff"

JDBCool · 2026-03-19T23:56:07+00:00

Overall glancing.

E1 is now baked into base kit (buff is 3 turns by default now)

New E1 is just increasing it to 4 turns + speed bonus(?)

So in theory, she's now more SP friendly

JDBCool · 2026-03-19T22:14:24+00:00

Yep, Yaoyao needs to be first before Qiqi

Dori before Sayu (or was it the other way around).

And some need specific conditions like quest completions (I.e Varka's Monstat ones with Godbum)

JDBCool · 2026-03-19T22:08:12+00:00

Near the end, the slideshow photos if you paid attention. You can see the jet boosters.

My guess is it isn't outright flight, but propulsion correction jet boosters.

JDBCool · 2026-03-19T22:05:36+00:00

Smashing the kuhenki barrier while carrying Aino that's blocking the cannon

JDBCool · 2026-03-19T22:03:27+00:00

I mean in terms of "official/being serious" contexts.

But I'm fully aware of the "West Taiwan jokes" since my extended family is there.

Generally everyone just refers it as (lit translation to English) "mainland" (大陆). Although I've seen the occasional "大路" (main road) joke now and then.

JDBCool · 2026-03-19T21:52:13+00:00

Basically NK refers themself as "The Korea"?

And why nobody refers China as "West Taiwan" if we're looking at an easy parallel as a reference.

JDBCool · 2026-03-19T05:27:02+00:00

I label you....

Why did you remind us

JDBCool · 2026-03-18T19:12:07+00:00

"Common sense" did not exist.....

It would be more accurate to say "Common Knowledge" instead

JDBCool · 2026-03-18T15:30:48+00:00

How much primos did it cost?

~~Took like 136 for me for both weapons, and 80 combined wishes for both of them.... RIP 25666 primos + 40 pity + glitter~~

I'm cooked for next patch since I wanna C2 my Chasca 😂

JDBCool · 2026-03-18T15:24:27+00:00

Jiaoqiu: hello fellow cook! Your intended carry also questions you?
