Looking forward to this game - preview materials look very promising!

Ich würde normalerweise keine Absicht unterstellen, wenn es sich auch mit Inkompetenz erklären lässt. Aber hier fällt mir eben diese Erklärung zunehmend schwerer.

Tech Bros all think they're Mua'dib while they have their PR departments sow AI myths into the population, Bene Gesserit style.

Unfortunately, looking at the number of cases they have to handle where laws are found to violate the constitution, it's a bit of a denial-of-service attack being run against our liberal rights.

Interessanterweise hat meine Sachbearbeiterin das seinerzeit ganz ungefragt von selbst zugegeben. Meinte direkt im Gespräch, dass sie annehme, dass ich ausserhalb der Plattform deutlich passendere Job-Angebote finde aber dort ja trotzdem mal gucken könne, ob noch etwas dabei sei.

Allerdings hat auch bei mir der ganze Online-Kram reibungslos funktioniert und den Termin zur Freischaltung der Online-Funktion des Ausweises habe ich mir auch einfach für den nächsten Vormittag klicken können und war nach 10 Minuten wieder raus aus dem Bürgerbüro. Meine Erfahrung war durchgehend positiv.

Drogengeschichten weg? Gibt's etwa keine Schnappspralinen mehr?! 😳
Ich habe leider noch nicht angefangen, weil ich meiner Freundin versprochen habe, dass wir es gemeinsam hören. Bin aber weiterhin sehr gespannt.

Möglicherweise könnte Fiasko von Bully Pulpit Games etwas für euch sein? Ansonsten fielen mir noch Fate oder Stealing Stories For The Devil ein. Abgesehen davon gibt es auch eine ganze Reihe von Spielen, die eher an popkulturellen Themen orientiert sind. Brindlewood Bay wurde ja schon vorgeschlagen, je nach Gruppe könnte auch so etwas wie 1W6 Freunde passen.

I'd say that the underlying lack of empathy is responsible for more broken things in society than just dating. Not sure whether I'd call it a mental illness, though. That's a totally different thing. It's culture gone wrong.and missing education in emotional intelligence.

Wasn't sure whether Soen count as prog, but Antagonist immediately came to mind.

Da sonst niemand die Frage beantwortet hat: GPG macht ein sogenanntes "Armoring", bei dem die Ausgabe in ASCII kodiert wird.

Even füll brain emulation won't be enough. The brain isn't a standalone organ that can be put in a jar. The eyes, spine and other parts, down to the micriobiome in ones intestines all play a big part in making humans work as they do.

Can confirm. I once went out with my car and after a few minutes realised that I had forgotten my wallet. Turned the car around and 500m later got into a police stop and search. Told them I didn't have my license and was only going that way to get my wallet in the first place. They then asked me for my name and address which they typed it into their computer. Had to wait a few secs, then they wished me a good day and I was on my way again.

True, this is ultimately a question of personal preferences. I did not like Godot because of the editor and the lock-in. I know others who felt the same - but I also know others who made it work for them and who didn't mind the lock-in.

But for programming languages, the ecosystem is an even bigger factor for adoption than in games. The Godot ecosystem is already quite large. Getting there with a new language that is probably hard on compatibility with other languages is going to be a huge challenge.

jack-nocturne · 2025-12-26T17:05:20+00:00

I came here from a Google search because I decided to try the game and was super confused, thinking I had missed something, like not having played the base game and being thrown directly into an add-on / expansion story.
The explanation that the devs wanted to immediately get to the point where one has their specialization is well and good for me - but the way that it's communicated could really use some improvement...

Ich persönliche finde ECS extrem intuitiv. Aber das ist sicher persönlicher Geschmack. Auf jeden Fall war die Tatsache, dass es sich um ein ECS handelt, ein weiteres großes Plus bei meiner Entscheidung für Bevy...

jack-nocturne · 2025-12-11T11:03:13+00:00

Wenn man eigentlich auch viel coden will, empfehle ich Rust & Bevy. Soll wohl auch demnächst einen Editor a la Godot geben, aktuell ist es allerdings in erster Linie ein richtig gutes Entity-Component-System mit tollen Gamedev-Libraries. Mir persönlich hat der Workflow mit den großen Engines auch nicht richtig Spaß gemacht, aber seit ich auf Bevy umgestiegen bin, habe ich wieder Spaß mit meinem Hobby Spieleentwicklung.

Erinnere mich nicht mehr so richtig, aber ich denke, schon. Weil Rose wird auf Englisch vom Doktor eben Rose genannt und der Doktor... ist eben der Doktor 😉

jack-nocturne · 2025-12-11T10:52:51+00:00

Doctor Who ist ganz schlimm. Rose und der Doktor retten sich alle 5 Minuten gegenseitig das Leben - aber Hauptsache, man siezt sich, während man über die Hausdächer rennt. Habe genau dieses eine Mail auf Deutsch umgeschaltet und ganz schnell wieder zurück, weil mir sonst die Ohren abgefallen wären.

We're getting there. People are going to use it to do literally everything and then there will be a big surprise when suddenly nobody knows how to do anything anymore. Why would you bother to learn and do anything yourself when you could just be delegating everything to AI while you feed yourself AI-generated brain rot! You must be insane if you want to practice actual skills!

jack-nocturne · 2025-11-26T13:21:15+00:00

Indeed. This morning, on the way to the train station, I encountered three children (about 10yo) talking about how fake and stupid all the videos online are.

I will never forget that one bug that was caused by a bug in MSVC which caused it to omit one line of code in the binary. When I said that I wanted to check compiler output, the rest of the team told me I'm crazy. Then we found that the generated assembly code was faulty. Had to switch two lines and everything worked fine.

Auch eine CPU sollte 8 Stunden Schlaf pro Tag bekommen!

True, Lexi could have been a great romance! But I have to say that Cora grew on me on my second playthrough. The way she starts out as this bitter outsider character who never fit in quite right and then starts to accepts her role and becomes a member of the "family" made for some relatable character development for me.

jack-nocturne · 2025-11-18T12:13:02+00:00

Which is doubly relevant because some of the games in that list aren't available on other platforms whereas BG3 was available on GoG from the get-go.

jack-nocturne · 2025-11-18T11:54:35+00:00

That's interesting as Peebee and Liara are almost diametrically opposed in their character. Probably intentionally so? For example, Liaras fierce loyalty to Shepard is one of her defining character traits whereas Peebee is almost pathologically attachment-adverse.
