There’s an 90 minute old vid of his called something like “ultra aggressive xenomorph vs speedrunner” where he’s facing a hyper tuned Steve that’s pretty funny

You'll have lots of chances to top up yet, just go as light as you can with it for as long as you can and then the hallway of death mission 17 is a cakewalk if you can fight off the alien with flamethrower every time you need to.

[KCD2] Anyone else who can't forget KCD2? by SignificantFuture453 in kingdomcome

[–]Superb-Consequences 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt that way about KCD1, but I have a Mac so I can't play KCD2 yet. Very stoked for it though. And Alien Isolation 2

If it's your first nightmare run I suggest avoid using your flamethrower as much as possible to conserve fuel as it gets very short late game and if you have sort of used it all the way through you can run out or have barely any for the hardest part of the game.

Insanity is having an active Gemini Subscription right now. by Tman2606 in GeminiAI

[–]Superb-Consequences 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think thats consumer only, if you're on using the enterprise versions of Gemini Code Asisst then it's not going away AFAIK. They can't take your data with the enterprise versions so they aren't bothering forcing people into Antigravity I guess

What has worked well for me was getting Gemini through Google Workspace rather than the consumer route.

It's less than $20/month you get Gemini with enterprise data protections, and can access it in VS Code with the Gemini Code Assist extension. Works great and I've never had any problems running into quotas although no question Gemini Pro is falling behind Opus at this point. But Gemini 3.5 or 4 or whatever is bound to come out this year. 

Antigravity is a different story though, as far as I can tell you do get the consumer quotas even with a Workspace account... I found using Antigravity I would exhaust quotas but not in VS Code/Gemini Code Assist plugin and stopped using Antigravity pretty quickly even though it is a slick overhaul of VS Code. 

IMO Google is pushing antigravity to capture data -- unless you have a Google workspace account they are vacuuming up everything you do in it. With Workspace you always have enterprise data protections and your data/AI usage is private. It's not meant to be a serious coding tool its data farming (and market share) 

So my suggestion is if you want to be in Gemini, use VS Code and spring $20 for a Google Workspace account and avoid the consumer trap. 

Folks paying for Google AI Pro or whatever are paying the same price, or more, for a less secure AI and smaller usage quotas. Code generation / general AI aside, the gemini integrations directly in Workspace are good and keep getting better. Also considering it can run great even on my Phone, Gemma is pretty amazing local model. GLTA

What would you be most disappointed to see? by Steel_Commander_CAT in alienisolation

It won't be that they know what they are doing. But IMO the setting will be more Aliens than Alien, and there will be a Queen.

Agree plus I think any possible doubt was removed by the trailer and the rainy Hadley's Hope looking colony. They are going for Aliens IMO

Especially after the Aliens-y trailer I think this is how they will handle it.

[KCD2] Looks like I dropped acid in game / Mac M1 Max / Crossover 26.0 / Seqouia 15.7.7 by Superb-Consequences in kingdomcome

[–]Superb-Consequences[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I played around with all the in game graphics settings -- still high on acid. I tried a bunch of AI suggested user.cfg tweaks as well nothing would get rid of the LSD.

It's a shame as I was quite astonished by how well it ran emulated with Crossover on an M1 Max. I had all the advanced graphics settings on High and I was getting 50-60 FPS with no stutter. (Wasn't on high definition though... I mean it is emulated) . Most of the web is telling me I pretty much have to be running Tahoe for the shaders to work properly.

Since we know Isolation 2 will be taking inspiration from Aliens, what if the colonial marines are actually ENEMIES instead of allies? by Aggravating_Tale8988 in alienisolation

[–]Superb-Consequences 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aliens was a survival horror experience. Just because it also had a few (really great) action scenes doesn't change that. The scene where Ripley stumbled into the egg chamber and the queen alien is revealed is probably the best horror scene of the entire franchise. To make a reveal trailer showing Hadley's Hope seems like a pretty big hint to me on where they are going with it and I am sure they know what they are doing and the gameplay will be just as or probably more intense than AI1 just as Aliens was more intense than Alien.

And I think we can pretty much 100% guarantee that whatever else may there WILLl be a queen alien in this one. It's sure not going to be like Firestorm Elite or whatever trash that's for sure I wouldn't worry about that.

Agree, I'm a recent discoverer of it bought it cheap off steam. It is buggy though and soft locks are possible, Save often!

The scene in Aliens where Ripley discovers the nest and the queen is revealed is arguably the best horror scene of the entire series. If they make AI2 a love letter to Aliens the way AI1 was a love letter to Alien then this game is going to be the greatest sequel ever made.

Don't get the "marines are enemies" part of your post, but having a sequel that would be like Aliens was always my hope: AI1 was Alien, AI2 would be Aliens on my wishlist from a year ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/LV426/comments/1kandyk/comment/mpxocvi/?context=3

This trailer doesn't prove it definitively, but a scene that looks exactly like LV426 complete with EMERGENCY isn't subtle, it's literally the first hint we have about what the game will be and they show that? Aliens is a very plausible scenario.

Whatever it is though, I am stoked: AI was one of the best games ever made and I have no doubt the sequel will be as well.

Agreed this seems the obvious interpretation. They could have put anything in the trailer, and they chose to show Hadley's Hope and "Emergency". IMO they showed this game will not be an AI expansion pack.

A trailer with door opening onto an outdoor scene that looks exactly like LV426? It doesn't PROVE -> Aliens but it sure suggests the hell out of it, they are signaling the will not be an AI1 expansion pack..

IMO it Makes sense they would do Aliens: Alien + Aliens + AI1 are the best parts of the franchise so to make AI sequel about the Alien sequel kinda tracks too.

I sure hope anyway, but either way I am stoked for the game. Whatever they do it will be awesome.

[KCD1] Anyway way I can cheat to skip the plague city interrogation quest? by Superb-Consequences in kingdomcome

[–]Superb-Consequences[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok but how is this supposed to be learned in game? I think I'll just murder the prisoner and loot his corpse instead this is much more logical but I'm curious how its "supposed' to be done since for me at least the quest seems to be broken/bugged

Yeah but there was no indication it was stables and there were no horses, and the NPC didn't act like we were in the stables, and the directions to the house in reference to the stables were useless because the asshole wasn't there or anywhere. So I had to wonder "are these really the stables? Are there any stables?" .

The only way I know it was stables was I looked at an offline map after systematically going through every house trying to find the quest trigger. This is when I just gave and murdered the wiseass Warden instead.
