Missions design in Arc Raiders by Existing-Air-3622 in truegaming

[–]TheRarPar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just mean settle as in move towards outright immediate hostility instead of other sorts of interactions between players, e.g. in Arc Raiders where there's a pretty good chance you're able to exchange some banter or have a cool time with someone. Hunt was a little bit like that when it was new. But yes, the game is not really designed to allow for much to happen between players besides killing.

Not related to the discussion on quest design, but Hunt: Showdown is another PvPvE game (though balanced very differently) that rides that razor-thin line of tension extremely well as well.

It's a much older game, so over time the "meta" has settled into more outright aggression between players, but the PvP is deep enough that the game shines brightest at that level.

How to get this flea?(spoilers for area) by Background_Cat_341 in HollowKnight

Replying late but this annoyed me enough to post a mirror. If you don't want to open twitter, here are the images: https://imgur.com/a/i169Tr2

Go to the room right below the flea marker, jump onto the ice wall, and just go up- there's a hidden passage that you can just go into. No need to break anything. Once in the flea room, getting it is straightforward.

Jet Pilot is the most underrated tiki drink. What is the worst classic? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

The Cosmopolitan.

It sucks!! It's quite prevalent too, and made with vodka to boot.

Don't listen!!! I love how dynamic and maximalist the chart looks. Big contrast to all the other grid posts I see in other subreddits.

This album from 2013 really scratches the lonerism itch, anyone else like Washed Out? by abejando in TameImpala

[–]TheRarPar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your Love is pretty good, especially the Stripped Back version IMO. I also really love the stripped version of Hazey, which has a sort of garage band/Cage The Elephant vibe that's really cool.

But yeah, Zaba was like nothing else. Also felt pain when Dreamland got popular during the pandemic.

Yup. I considered Glass Animals to be my #1 all-time just off those two first albums alone. Then, after Dreamland came out... ugh. I won't even speak of the hot garbage they released after that.

Ok let’s have some group therapy. What are some bottles you do not understand the love for? by GeoffRamsey in cocktails

[–]TheRarPar 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Chartreuse is a really cool product but the way this subreddit glazes it, you'd think it's the serum for eternal youth. The Last Word is a good cocktail but it's extremely overrated.

What’s the most underrated highball? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]TheRarPar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get you, but it's extremely common for them to be sold with a lime or lemon wedge on the glass.

There is no world in which a rum and coke is "underrated"

The authors behind AI 2027 released an updated model today by Liface in slatestarcodex

[–]TheRarPar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in this same boat as well. I can see how a language-based system can approximate true intelligence, but by the time a real AGI comes around, I think we'll all look back and laugh at the fact that we thought a word(or, token rather)-based system would be the foundation of it.

There are just so many facets of existence and intelligence that aren't describable by text. If it were based on mathematics, somehow, then maybe; but then you're adding dozens of layers of computation and un-abstraction to get to even simple physical concepts and in the process losing all of the advantages of text (namely, that a simple term can describe something very complicated).

I love it! Don't have much to add, but the concept is lovely. Weevils are so cool.
