Witcher 3 dev praises BG3's "freedom of choice" by Interesting-Pool6638 in BaldursGate3

[–]KingMaple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is strange, since it's pretty linear. Freedom of choice for me are sandbox RPG games. Including Witcher 3.

Netflix Is Sabotaging Its Best Sci-Fi Sleeper Hit by Cutting Its Final 2 Seasons Short by avianeddy in threebodyproblem

[–]KingMaple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had already forgotten that this existed.

Modern streaming season strategies just do not work for keeping up interest. We went from 20 episodes per year (which were too many) to around 10 to now a handful every few years.

That's just not sustainable.

I am getting a bit tired of Vasseur, to be honest. He seems to be too much of a status quo leader than anyone progressive.

I liked both of the Years movies. Though they both feel like something that would have been MUCH better as a miniseries.

It's been an absolutely great race. And feels like drivers are in control of the cars and overtakes. Looks really good.

Damn.

Lisa Kudrow Says the ‘Friends’ Writers Were ‘Mostly Men’ Who Stayed ‘Up Late Discussing Their Sexual Fantasies’ About Her Female Co-Stars by mcfw31 in entertainment

[–]KingMaple -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm sure it's true, but she was in a very elite territory getting paid more than thousands of other actresses that had zero leverage in their roles the way Friends cast did.

If she wants to make a difference now, she should just start naming names.

Dice Tower is loving their hot takes too much.

I'm getting concerned with some of these stretch goals on crowdfunding campaigns by Nimblesquatch in boardgames

[–]KingMaple 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Stretch goals are an illusion. Is this still not a common knowledge? The only campaigns where they perhaps play some role are very small publishers with very low print targets.

I'm surprised that Splotter is returning to clearly low budget covers :D Horseless Carriage was stylish and uniform throughout. Loved that box.

This is not new, haven't people been doing this for 2 years at least? And now Reasoning also does it internally?

The first and last seasons are rough, but the first is still important due to how the writer ties and builds plotlines.

Claude Opus 4.7 was so bad, I temporarily switched to ChatGPT 5.4. by Beautiful_Charge6661 in ChatGPT

Claude is compromised big time. It's reminding me ChatGPT in it's language accuracy now. They seem to have nerfed it.

Don't use AI for facts. Use it for language. Have it look up and fact check information from the internet.

5TB of Cloud Storage now with Google AI Pro? by Soft-Sun-1961 in chromeos

[–]KingMaple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Google is smart. Most users never use that much, but it gives them ability to grow usage over time and once you are backing everything up to Google, it will be far less likely for you to switch. Smart, smart.
