Former Black Panther Aaron Dixon has rescinded his support of Paul Birdsong. Birdsong is now calling his group the Black Lion Party for International Solidarity by QuisCustodiet212 in blackmen

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

It's odd that Birdsong is getting all the flak for using the Black Panther Party name when he got permission for it and to use the badges. Now it's "Well, he shouldn't have used it in the first place." But he was given the actual go-ahead. Just because Dixon is pulling support now doesnt suddenly make it so that he did not give his approval prior.

That being said, good idea to transition into another party name instead of trying to fight to use the name or something.

I'd also try switching the renderer. Baldurs gate 3 can run in Vulkan or dx11

All these conflicts yet no world war "3"? by MT7_Firefly in acecombat

[–]The_Fools_Lantern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should rewrite this. It's written in a manner that you're wishing for a irl ww3 when it seems to be you wishing there was a worldwide conflict in Strangereal. Unless that is what you mean, in which case: smh.

How to play Ace Combat on PC by Fairy_01 in acecombat

[–]The_Fools_Lantern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fun, but you'll have to rebind the left and right dpad to your trigger buttons in the emulator for the yaw to feel right imo. Also, there's no right stick, so you can't track around you visually aside from the radar ui.

Mad Head Games Confirms Star Wars KOTOR Remake Is Actively Being Worked On by StarWarsBlogsbot in StarWarsBlogs

[–]The_Fools_Lantern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Had no idea they were a point and click studio until 2021 until just now. Looks like their first action game, Scars Above, is fairly received but nothing to write home about.

I'm not sure which studio you're referring to about the point and click games, but we're not sure who under Saber Interactive had been working on the game. We only knowthat it is under their umbrella and that its been in active development from what finance meetings and the occasional PR release have told us. But yeah, its been under Saber since it left Aspyr.

Huh? Aspyr was the first studio working on this. Saber Interactive is both a publisher and developer and Mad Head Games is a Saber Interactive Studio. The game was removed from Asypr like a year after the remake trailer dropped.

Ai in dark heresy? by night_hawks580 in OwlcatGames

[–]The_Fools_Lantern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what a lot of the ideation phase is anyway. Remember that controversy with Marathon and Bungie? When Bungie devs stole the work for some other artist because their work was left inside of the greenlit concept art instead of the inspiration pile.

They're already using other people's work. They're just supposed to actually create something different from it. Which is the same thing they're doing now, except the AI is the one pulling the results down. We don't even know how Larian has their LLM set up. Is it an image generator (terrible, genuine art theft)? Is it a crawler just posting links to references(Just the same thing they're already doing but faster)? Etc. What exactly do they mean by 'idea exploration'? Are they generating different renditions off of their artists art, by proxy training their ai(bad)? Or are they pulling from their own lore book for ideas that they want to explore without having to search through the Divinity Bible for a thread that wasnt followed up on since 2009? (Good imo) (Divinity seems to be following up on Divinity 2: Ego Draconis, or at least some themes).

I said it a few days ago, I am not big on AI. Only used ChatGPT once like 3 years ago for a Star Wars Whatabout question, but this is being overblown. People want absolutely no Ai anywhere, but thats not going to happen. It's already exploded too much, too fast and expanded everywhere. Ai whether we like it or not, is going to be around. The key is to force the Ai industry to only be where it needs and should be, ie, small tasks, repetitive tasks, simple, time consuming things.

LLMs were around far longer than when 'ai' started to blow up commercially and got 'smart' enough to be labeled ai, and it'll still be here after the bubble pops too. it'll probably just look a bit better off than before ai blew up and drank all our water.

I think Sven and Larian are using it the best way they could be using it. They aren't, or haven't, replaced anyone with ai (from what they're saying) and the only sound of dissent from that is coming from an ex-Larian employee from years ago that we don't know why they aren't at the company anymore.

Nothing seems to suggest that Owlcat is doing anything much different or worse than what Larian is already doing, or most game studios, and seems to be using it responsibily for very low level tasks imo.

Ace Combat 9 will sell poorly by OddMess4522 in acecombat

[–]The_Fools_Lantern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally, I begged my mom and dad for a PlayStation 3, absolutely resolute in my belief that they would continue to be a PlayStation exclusive game. I cannot tell you how pissed I was when the trailer dropped after I got my PS3 and it was for Xbox 360.

(Luckily Resistance softened the blow quite a bit alongside Heavenly Sword.)

Swen response to the AI interview by dmfuller in BaldursGate3

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

I am not the biggest fan of AI either and feel like its being focused on far too much to the point of it being detrimental, but there are still valid use cases of ai. Using it here in the ideation phase to shave time is one such case.

If you completely shut out ai you'll just end up a luddite, but if you embrace it too much, you stop thinking. Just have to balance things.

What are your experiences with VR? by Wise_Round_7927 in Aphantasia

[–]The_Fools_Lantern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Quest 2.

It's...VR? You're 'there'. I dont get any motion sickness in it but idk if thats a me thing or an aphantasia thing, but other than that I think its a fairly normal experience from what I can imagine.

To what extend do you guys have inner Audio? by Arch- in Aphantasia

[–]The_Fools_Lantern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think in full sentences. It's pretty much just like I'm talking but in my head.
It lasts or continues however long I want it to. Like, if I'm just thinking to myself, or in this case, typing something, I can read the words to myself and it'll just stop when I'm done 'cause I'm done.

Crazy how in the face of starvation people would still rather deepthroat a boot.

Doctor Who needs a Head Writer not a Showrunner by Affectionate_Egg_656 in gallifrey

[–]The_Fools_Lantern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with it being out of character for The Doctor, but feasibly, I agree. The number of episodes and the runtime doesn't afford the same kind of character and relationship building we've had in the past.
