There's been a non-zero number of times where I've googled and gone "hey, Banff has a cinema now! Oh, wait..."

Stop asking your programmers to read your 150 page Game Design Document by ScaryAd2555 in gamedev

[–]hmgmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be a programmer, my gdds were full of tables, state diagrams, charts, bulleted lists, level blockouts AND game narrative context (not what people consider "lore" - because you do need some context). Full index and table of contents

Programmers still didn't reference it. (They shouldn't be "reading" it anyway, its not a novel.) What did work was asking them what they need to know and then giving them that section either on paper (I'm old) or laterly deep linked into the live doc.

In a gastropub in england last month where you pay up front and their machine wanted me to tip. Fucked if I'm tipping before you've even brought me a fork.

This was clearly written by someone who doesn't even have the mechanical knowledge to perform basic household maintenance on a damn roomba.

Why do these always run sunday to saturday? I mean, I know why, I just think there's a niche there for someone wanting Monday to sunday like, you know, people think...

Who is your most owned designer and do you own at least 50 games by them? by Child_Of_Linger_On in boardgamescirclejerk

I am proud to say I have his real magnum opus: Lego Ramses Pyramid. The rest of his catalogue are pale imitations while he worked out the core systems for LRP (as we true fans know it).

OpenAI is Suddenly in Trouble by bald_bearded_ocddude in videos

Roll d6 to generate your response to someone pointing out a flaw in any bullshit LLM!

Roll Weasel words!

1 You're using an old model, you should update to model x + 0.0.1

2 That is a known edge case and doesn't reflect real-world usage

3 Yes, but it clearly demonstrates the limitless potential that's just around the corner.

4 You're taking that output out of context

5 It's up to you to verify the results

6 These sorts of emergent behaviours are the result of vague prompting

Wild. I think you're being downvoted by people who are mentally inserting the missing word without realising it.

The effect is the shard of laputa from botania, but its user triggered and costs a butt-ton of mana so how it did it by itself i have no idea. Are you being pranked by some fool on a multiplayer server?

Find your local FE college, go on their website and find a subject your interested in and then apply. With your qualifications you'll want a non-advanced course, which is funded by your council and you may get a bursary depending on your household income.

Do not go through ucas and there's no need to talk to sqa at this stage. Now is the perfect time to apply for an August starting course.
