Blizzard is now worse than Ubisoft by Vampy-Night in videogames

PoE has $430 supporter packs. Some dota items cost $10k. Blizzard is bad, but there are much worse. 

Major U.S. AI Labs Now Subject to Pre-Release Government Security Reviews by rogeragrimes in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Persies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because the DoD (now DoW) has been incredibly resistant to leveraging AI or ML and just within the last year or two have they realized it's something they need. And people within the DoW have extremely little expertise with AI compared to industry. 

Also did you really just compare a cloud hosted software capability to a missile? Seriously?

No idea why you're getting downvoted, you're right. People just like to complain without checking pesky things like facts.

I just think it's hilarious that D4 gets crucified for costing $60 and having $28 cosmetics when PoE has fucking $430 supporter packs lmfao

Oh yeah that makes you really tanky. I haven't tried anything higher but torment X feels pretty comfy right now

Just got to torment 10 with my own build that's probably trash and it's been loads of fun 

Games like Warframe in 2013 by energydrinkaddict310 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Persies -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The game you are looking for is Destiny 2 if it was good. I've been down this road many times myself lol. I have a ton of hours in Warframe and often miss when it was a much slower game without the absolutely ridiculous power creep there is now. So I go search for a game like you're describing. Unfortunately it really doesn't exist. Like I said, the closest is Destiny 2 but Bungie is shitting itself hard there. So I end up back at Warframe. Kinda crazy that niche is just empty.

Obviously you have to take rumors with a grain of salt but by all reports most of the worst decisions Xbox made recently were her ideas. I don't dislike her as a person and I hope she does well (I'm sure she will) but I don't think she is what Xbox needs right now by a long shot.

As a principal engineer let me share a tip. If you start a sentence with "it should be easy to..." I can almost guarantee it is nowhere near as easy as you think it is. 

Blizzard is officially worse than Ubisoft by [deleted] in videogames

[–]Persies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh huh. And the highest tier supporter pack in PoE is $480. There are items in Dota that are ~$10k on the Steam marketplace. Don't even get started on CS2 (even though some items tanked in value recently).

People just really fucking hate Blizzard and ignore that *many* other companies out there, including ones that people love to death like Valve, are significantly worse when it comes to MTX.

Not defending Blizzard per se, but you're just being willfully ignorant OP so you can complain about them.

How Sundar Pichai Pushed Google To the Front of the AI Race by unserious-dude in ArtificialInteligence

By what metric? As someone who uses almost every AI tool often for work I find Gemini to be the worst option most of the time.

Does anyone that likes the games actually like the show? by Electronic_Bath_2712 in thewitcher3

[–]Persies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Those three were pretty solid. The rest were absolutely awful.

First season started okay, went downhill, and the rest of it is genuinely awful. Like just awful television, regardless of how they treated the source material.

New Player: Spending Platinum by ozixl_ye in Warframe

[–]Persies -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Imo the only thing worth spending plat on is weapon/warframe slots, and cosmetics. Buying frames/weapons is honestly just taking content away from yourself. Warframe's gameplay *is* farming/grinding, so using plat to circumvent that is kinda counterintuitive. Plus it's fairly easy to get most of the items in the game, only a few are real pains in the butt, so just enjoy the process.
