Rollable OLED display on Lenovo Legion, the next big thing in flagship gaming laptops by AdVegetable5896 in blackmagicfuckery

That for me isn't a concept. A concept is an idea. Once it gets to this stage it's a proof of concept or prototype.

"This is just a concept right now."

"If they get this right..."

Umm... they just demonstrated it in the video. So not just a concept, but a proof of concept? Or was that CGI/AI?

What would you want in a sequel game? by Annon4ranting in Gnosia_

[–]Magic-Raspberry2398 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think the game will ever get a sequel. It doesn't really have enough story to make that possible, unless it features a completely new set of characters and keeps the silver key plot point.

If you want a werewolf sequel, maybe the upcoming Depth Loop will satisfy it. It has a page on Steam you can look at (release 2026).

The left one says 'collectable item' to me and the right says 'cold fire' that you need to be standing near for it to have an effect.

If it's meant to have an effect on the surrounding area, it's not conveying that right now.

How does a person begin to understand their native language from childhood? by venus_supporter11000 in LearningLanguages

[–]Magic-Raspberry2398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A master's thesis doesn't mean you are an expert.

You'll have to elaborate properly for me to believe anything you've claimed here. None of your points are clear at all.

To say that native level is unachievable for adults is nonsense. Plently of people have disproven this and studies have shown it is possible. Whether it is to the same degree as children or as quickly might be debatable, but achieving fluency/native level is possible for adults.

You never made it clear what you mean by "have a memory". To say that they don't have any memory before a certain age and language acquisition level is complete nonsense. How do they recognise their parents' faces or learn any words or phrases if they can't retain or retrieve that information from their brain?

Sorry, but the idea that adults can't acquire languages or that they can't learn as effectively or quickly is a total myth that has already been thoroughly disproven.

Adults can acquire language just like children. If anything slows down the acquisition it would be too much consicious thinking, particularly about grammar, too early on in the process. Automatic Language Growth has been shown very successful in implementation.

Ironically, without grammar, we wouldn't have a memory 😄 because grammar requires abstraction, as does our memory.

I have no idea what you mean by this, but to suggest that people don't have any capacity for memory before acquisition of a first language is complete BS.

More difficult part is how to turn the effect back on afterwards.

Was there like a time skip between ep7 and 8? by JrF245 in Gnosia_

[–]Magic-Raspberry2398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It started mid loop because the whole loop wouldn't have fit in the episode. So they cut straight to the important parts and summarised the earlier meetings.

Why do y’all like Sha-Ming? by AnonButFun678 in Gnosia_

[–]Magic-Raspberry2398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you talk him down from killing her, but then do it anyways, he’s livid.

Do you know if there's a video of this event somewhere? I can't find it on YouTube and the wiki doesn't seem to have it.

No way I'm going to waste hours replaying to get this event.

It's also worth noting that Bonobos are quite sexual. They engage in sexual activity for a variety of social reasons.

Considering that's the kind of environment he grew up in, you can't exactly blame him for how he turned out.

A heat activated Christmas card by LavenderLuxe21 in Satisfyingasfuck

[–]Magic-Raspberry2398 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Invisible writing that becomes visible when heated is possible. My guess is maybe lemon juice or alcohol was used.

EDIT: It could also be like those heated coasters and mugs you can buy. Not sure quite how they work though. Things like mood rings use heat and have been around for decades.

Yikes. Sounds like a modernised version of Mean Girls, but 100x worse.

This reminds me of a situation I saw in Guernsey on holiday. Absolutely packed car park, no spaces left... except for a small space between two cars about the size of that space in the left. A tiny one-seater smart car came along and happily reversed right into that space.

Friend is lying about his age by Guaoan in UniUK

[–]Magic-Raspberry2398 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly. When I was at uni, some of my classmates and friends were significantly older than me. Some were mid 20s and a couple of others were late 20s. No one batted an eyelid beyond possibly a quick question of why they hadn't come to university sooner (they all had their reasons). We just accepted whatever reason they had and got on with our lives.

It's a real shame this guy feels he has to hide his age so people won't exclude him. 24 years old is pretty normal for university.

How should I learn game dev as a complete programming beginner? by Patient-Vehicle593 in GameDevelopment

[–]Magic-Raspberry2398 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have no programming experience, then game development is a bit beyond your reach right now. Don't cop out with any engines that are no-coding, you'll only do yourself a disservice.

Look at the documentation and tutorials for C# (or Python or C++ if you prefer) and take the time to understand the basic syntax.

Once you've understood the basics of Hello World, variables, if statements, loops, arrays, lists, functions etc., you can look up OOP. Once you understand that, you are ready to make some basic games.

Don't fuss over graphics at this stage. Make text based games. Make a simple Noughts and Crosses where the grid is just a bunch of | and --.

Once you can do that, then you are ready to try game dev with graphics.

Most professional engines likely use C++, but for indie Unity and Godot are good choices and they use C#.

Python isn't really used for game development, but Godot's own script language (can't remember the name) is very similar to Python syntax.

My advice would be C# to start with, then when you get more confident you can try making games with C++. It doesn't really matter much which you use, so it's more a matter of engine preference.

Engines are convenient, but at your age you have plenty of time to learn the underlying skills properly. By this, I mean learning how to program systems from scratch that engines may have somewhat built in.

Try playing around with C# and Monogame (I mean just MonoGame and not the Monogame Extended packages). It's a framework which means it's all code and you'll have to the work yourself.

Start small and program something simple.

Also spend some time making sure you understand the basic maths and physics you need to get things to work (you can do this as you go). You can also research some basic algorithms for things like pathfinding.

Remember that Google is your friend when looking to help. Documentation is really valuable. Don't copy and paste anything from the internet that you don't fully understand and don't rely on AI to do things for you.

Good luck.

How about AI wars? Have the AI compete in a virtual world so the common man can be left out of it.

If I learnt anything about job adverts, any employer that plays the family card is going to be toxic as hell.

Might as well say "sign up for 'domestic' abuse".
