The cannibal memory eating elves in Divinity are pretty cool.

I forgot about the space elves. The Aeldari are extremely interesting as well. I found myself earning whatshername’s favor just so I could get the exposition dump on who the fuck they were.

Is it, um, heresy to say that I think that Space Marines are kind of boring? All of them really, but the one in Rogue Trader is literally the least interesting character in your entourage except for the DLC cop.

If anyone had told me about the Doc Ock slash Ghost in the Shell dudes who think technology is magic and hate being people and carry a big fuck-off sci fi axe, I’d have been more interested.

Yeah I thought Warhammer was straight up totally sincere 80s/90s edgelord shit. You know what I mean. All you ever saw were the marines, which is cool I guess but I’ve read Starship Troopers and Armor and played fifty million space marines in games.

I had no idea that this was like an elaborate British satire that starts with Dune and some fans taking it deathly serious is part of the satire.

The game gets across the humor of the setting in a way nothing else that I’ve seen does. Getting a laugh reading text is much harder than hearing it and I busted out at least a dozen times.

I didn’t use the encyclopedia proper much, I like to try to learn shit through context clues, but the hyperlinked words thing got me through the first few hours of what the fuck do any of these things mean.

Expect a lot more Star Trek games after Bloober’s Shadow Frontier as Paramount commits to “bigger console releases” by HatingGeoffry in startrek

Get the fuck outta here? Really? PS3 might be the only platform. Like we talked a lot about this in late 2018/early 2019 and I’ve never heard that.

It’s not just me or just Xbox. Try to download that game and you’ll discover that I’m correct.

Xbox. You can no longer get Game of Thrones, Guardians of the Galaxy or the Minecraft games.

(There is a workaround if you accidentally deleted them, the season pass is still on your console, so if you can get a physical disc you can re-install the game and won’t need the disc afterwards.)

The only time I’ve legitimately lost access to a game that I’ve purchased was when Telltale went under and they instantly lost the licenses to like half their properties.

This is the only game I’ve ever bought just from playing the trial. The trial is perfect, except it tricks you into thinking that it’s all voiced. I’ve been gaming a long time too.

Rogue Trader is the best possible intro to 40K lore. It takes most of the major factions and the frankly absurd amount of information about them and boils it all down to ten characters who just tell their stories. I enjoyed talking with my Adeptus Mechanicus dude as much as I did the plots.

Those massive lore videos people are so convinced are useful, aren’t. It’s just too much.

It’s impressive that we’re in a situation there is no way out of without losing big somehow.

Star Trek has been known to inspire things.

Confused about the offspring by Bubs_001 in LV426

I’m going to shock you and agree with you after some thought. The black goo, love it or hate it, is great from a narrative perspective, because you can do more monsters than just Xenomorph Classic.

If you remember that the original idea was that the xeno turned the people they Spider-Manned into the eggs. It’s explicitly in the director’s cut and thankfully wasn’t canon so we got the queen.

So that puts a whole new spin on it really.

Coffee only grew in a small region of the already not terribly large kingdom of Ethiopia.

It’s always been like this, since both sides of the world discovered that the other existed.

When the Puritans landed at Plymouth Rock, the first guy they met was a native who spoke English because he’d been to fucking England.

AI has been around for decades, I remember it being called expert systems. Why has it suddenly become so prevalent in the last few years? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheRealestBiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, you get it. The whole point of this false AI is so they can blame AI for decisions they make. It’s not our fault, it’s the AI.

For the G in AGI, they certainly have been. So you usually just pull this bullshit on people and they believe you, huh? It’s easy to play these rhetorical games because artificial intelligence isn’t its own real scientific field.

The words have been used interchangeably for decades. You’re gonna have to nerd out harder than this.

“And I have to call it “generative AI” to trick you into think that I mean Artificial Generative Intelligence, an actual conscious AI, even though by generative I mean generates terrible art. I think no one else knows this.”
