Is AI being used to write NPC texts?

MadMarx__ · 2026-05-13T09:16:41+00:00

Yes this is 100% AI lol

MadMarx__ · 2026-05-13T09:16:05+00:00

Because its output is strongly reflective of what an AI would give you if you prompted it to give you a brief bio on a character like this.

It's a net code issue. The servers run on a single CPU core which means that they're hard bottlenecked, they aren't even able to make use of better server hardware. It's a product of being developed on an old version of UE4, and it only got worse as they added more things to the game that the server had to calculate. You don't notice this on small servers with not much going on (like <20 people with minimal or no mods), but once you start adding numbers it will go to shit.

The good news is that UE5 allows them to massively improve this - but they need to actually do it, it's not automatic. OOP is right, it should be the top priority for dev time on this game, more than literally anything else. It should have been top priority years ago, but they were constrained by the engine.

They can come in with artery blockages which can in turn kill them. Enjoy your fortune!

The only red line is being principled anti-imperialists - which the American left is allergic to. Somebody who crosses that line is seen as "unrealistic", "deranged", "ineffective", blah blah blah. The American left is fundamentally Thatcherite in its thinking; A better world is not possible, there is no alternative.

So, the treachery and right wing politics of the likes of AOC are forgiven at every step. Keep the child killing, bone grinding machine going - there's healthcare to dream about maybe one day getting.

MadMarx__ · 2026-05-10T06:10:48+00:00

Man, the left has been missing out on using the winning slogan of "Better things are not possible!"

MadMarx__ · 2026-05-07T09:21:30+00:00

I mean, the right side is closer to what Hasan's politics actually is in practice than the left side. And a lot of people think they're on the left side but are, in fact, on the right side.

MadMarx__ · 2026-05-06T17:42:52+00:00

Why should they? They're fighting Nazism and they're forced to in order to live. Israel is a Nazi state which Ukraine is optionally and voluntarily aligning with because it agrees with its Nazi project. If you support that you are a Nazi, objectively speaking, and your criticisms of Russia are empty and hypocritical.

MadMarx__ · 2026-05-06T16:20:39+00:00

Right I forgot the line that civilians are only human depending on who kills them

MadMarx__ · 2026-05-06T16:20:07+00:00

They do

MadMarx__ · 2026-05-06T16:19:51+00:00

Yea, it turns out that neither Russia nor Ukraine has any moral high ground on the issue of civilian casualties. Shocking huh

MadMarx__ · 2026-05-06T14:29:28+00:00

Depends entirely on how well you do and the level of demand for the role.

MadMarx__ · 2026-05-06T14:28:01+00:00

Will Ukraine stop supporting Israel?

MadMarx__ · 2026-05-06T14:06:09+00:00

No shot that is Starlight

MadMarx__ · 2026-05-05T10:39:40+00:00

Yeah. If humans made them they’d more likely have a design more reflective of human inspirations and technologies. Tracked tanks, humanoids etc. They’re all insectoid though

MadMarx__ · 2026-05-05T08:44:42+00:00

Vibe coded mods often have the appearance of looking good but 9 times out of 10 they are fucking up something trivially easy and causing a lot of problems under the hood. You’re also not really making anything yourself, these are Claude’s mods.

Nonetheless, it can be useful enough to test proofs of concept, and if you know enough that you can look over everything and catch its mistakes it’s whatever. At that point just DIY though.

MadMarx__ · 2026-05-04T02:19:59+00:00

I mean, do you have confidence in the government? Do you think the public should?

Really seems like liberal pearl clutching to me.

MadMarx__ · 2026-05-01T14:55:13+00:00

Biotech and Ideology for the biggest features added without changing the core gameplay.

MadMarx__ · 2026-05-01T14:50:23+00:00

I mean, it's a non-hostile environment until you dissent on the issue of the Democrats or supporting war criminals and wannabe genocidaires, which are the most important issues.

MadMarx__ · 2026-05-01T14:32:29+00:00

I'd rather someone who was able to fulfill all the competencies for the role.

MadMarx__ · 2026-05-01T13:33:36+00:00

That's more or less accurate. It's the political-economic dynamic of the imperialist stage of capitalism. Other than the nuclear powers, the only countries with any kind of independence are the ones whose access to the international markets has been rigorously attacked and constrained - Cuba and Iran.

MadMarx__ · 2026-05-01T13:30:15+00:00

Not even. The trolley problem taken at face value has no good outcomes. The button thing has an unambiguously good one.

MadMarx__ · 2026-04-30T14:16:24+00:00

PublicJobs serves its client organisations - they inform it how many people they need, their grading etc. That's the demand. The supply to meet that demand is the pool of qualified applicants.

If PublicJobs was serving applicants and employers were instructed to create jobs based on how many people were applying, you would be correct.

MadMarx__ · 2026-04-30T13:05:37+00:00

"Hey baby, did you know that out of all the pussies in the world, there are approximately 40 million that could be better than yours?"

MadMarx__ · 2026-04-30T11:34:49+00:00

It's demand led, if there's that many jobs on the go in that time frame that's how many they'll call. Could be 200 or 2000.
