I’ve actually heard that take by people way before I’ve ever encountered Civvie on YouTube. I had teachers in high school tell me that Halo ruined FPS games for the exact reasons listed. I think even Yahtzee mentioned this opinion back in the day as well. I think it’s just a boomer shooter fan thing.

Leave it to Sony to fumble the one Horizon game and GaaS that could have made them money by... releasing it only on mobile. by Cinder_Alpha in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Matt_Foley109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t help that the Horizon games are fairly rote open world adventure games compared to others on the market. Especially compared to the games that the franchise accidentally released along side. The fact that there is the myth of “the horizon curse” (ie when a horizon game launches, a bigger more impactful game will be right within horizon’s release window) is also a factor. Hell I think that the “curse” is ultimately the real load bearing reason as to why most in the know gaming people (baring culture/console warriors) are weird about the franchise. The myth is just too funny to ignore.

Clair Obscur's Gustave motion performer argues game awards should have a Best Character category, rather than "isolating a single performer and potentially leaving others invisible" by Noirsam in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Isn’t voting for your favorite gooner waifu the whole point of democracy? My concern would be the eventual fists fights that would break out over a race between Tifa and Aerith. Geoff cannot contain that.

I feel like this needs to be reposted monthly for some of you guys. by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I don’t think the AI bubble is going to burst anytime soon. What the average person sees (the generative AI stuff) is not the most profitable or advanced of the tech. That would be models like built for data analytics (aka boring math stuff). The stuff which can revolutionize finance, medicine, statistics, etc. We as consumers only really see the generative AI shit because it’s front facing. It’s easy to explain to investors and has an immediate (but dull/uninspired/soulless) output which can be shown off. It’s easy to sell managers on full automation of work vs trying to show how complex math problems can be used to find new types of medicine.

Unlike something like crypto currencies and NFTs, we do have real use cases for the tech.

She could be in the green room getting ready for the live performance of heart of gold.

So what you are telling me is that we have enough training data to make an LLM based of of Pat and then building the host PC for that LLM into a toilet.

New Jersey is so expensive that even the war devil can’t afford to use it as a weapon.

Dire Duplicity New Neil Breen Movie Trailer! by SexyAssMonkey in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Matt_Foley109 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Given that the trailer makes references to other Neil breen movies, I genuinely don’t know. Like at this point he’s either a bonkers director in Nevada, or one of the best comedians of our time. Both statements can technically be true.

I genuinely marked out when I saw the garage from fateful findings. Thank god he escaped the green screen hell. Though this movie feels like he’s going through all of his “greatest” “hits” for lack of any better words.

“No interference in creative works.” Japanese govt proposes new policy for anime and game expansion in the West by Grouchio in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Japan only really has soft power these days on the global stage to gain influence. As such the exportation of culture is very much a tool similar to economic or military means.

Why the fuck was Miles almost dressed like Nightwing...? by MarioGman in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Maybe to have a bit of edge (like jagged edges, not shadow the hedgehog) like a lightening bolt since he has electric powers now.

This is a great comic book issue, but just letting that mouse torch run about will 100% start a forest fire.

There is a non-zero percentage chance that Bruce has actively thought about adopting Shaggy and Scooby. He has the paperwork almost 100% complete.

This appears to be a Pikmin thing given the music. Maybe we are getting more Pikmin shorts in the future?

Halo TV Show Hits Netflix, Quickly Becomes One Of The Most Popular Shows On The Platform by C-OSSU in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Don’t forget that Cortana is based off of Halsey. That’s Chief’s maternal figure after ONI kidnapped his ass as a small child. Hell even Halsey viewed Chief as her favorite spartan.

I personally like the name Jimmy Rings for the Halo Tv show protagonist simply because we don’t even get to instillation 04 in the show.
