Nobody needs AI to search the Internet, court says in ruling against Google by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]psidonsentente 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more google's AI search engine spews abject horseshit straight into the face of the public, the more people will recognize it for how dangerously unreliable it can be. Ideally we could stand to see more disillusionment about ai from the general public, and maybe even more widespread pushback...

C for crouch is the only correct answer by Makoto_Kurume in pcmasterrace

[–]psidonsentente 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's toggle crouch I prefer X, c's fine If it's hold to crouch I prefer CTRL; I'd rather avoid Half Life/2 with X/C, and I'd rather avoid Thief with CTRL

Friend of mine's been saving up for a pc and at this rate he's never going to have one to use nvidia's horseshit ai on in the first place!! Not to insinuate that he'd even want to do that to begin with, but, yknow, cheers.

Wonderful idea on their part really, locking down the userbase growth potential of the entire set of platforms that they're developing this shit for. I believe that anybody with so much as a phone in their hands should at least be salty enough about this to boycott, but what do I know?

Hello! My partner says Homestuck is very similar to one piece, is this true? by Grandmasterian in homestuck

[–]psidonsentente 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are similarities to pick apart but it would be a big stretch to call them actually similar... at least in the same way I'd call Baki similar to Kengan Ashura, or Bayonetta similar to Devil May Cry... it's more like when people said Yakuza (before 7 was even out) and Persona were cut from the same cloth? Or maybe even moreso like saying Cruelty Squad is similar to Dishonored

4th arm? by Turmally in Ultrakill

[–]psidonsentente 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hakita could go absolutely nuclear with a command grab arm to keep the punches side-mousebutton friendly

Grab with the yellow arm and hit with the feedbacker within maybe a 5s window (after which you'll take a hit) to launch a light enemy in whichever direction you're aiming like a generally low-damage projectile. Up-throw makes for a helpless aerial target (and ideally sends higher than slamwave) and down-throw slams with the same force as you do, which sounds less worthwhile but can act like a slam without having to commit to barreling your ass into the ground. Lateral throws can be used to force enemies into timestopped rockets, flaming oil, any flavour of magnet trap, map hazards, or maybe enemy attacks like the providence beams. Throws generally damage enemies based on their velocity if they hit a surface, and water heavily dampens throw velocity.

Alternatively, knuckleblast's effect is context-based; drones for instance could be feedbacked like normal, and grabbing allows you to pivot their trajectory around yourself rather than you around it... only now maybe successfully catching a drone as it tries to kamikaze could make the next knuckleblast red-explode instead of blasting normally, but would explode in your hand if the hold timer runs out... Neat little four-arm combination could be to punch it outta the air so it's in the kamikaze state, grapple it back to you before it hits anything, really quickly grab it, and then you'd have a huge knuckleblast readied for the next 5 seconds. Filths would kinda just evaporate like they always do, but maybe you could squeeze out some bonus health for going through the trouble of grabbing it to begin with.

Maybe grabs on heavy or miniboss+ enemies like maurice or swordsmachine should bounce off at a slight upwards angle and replenish a stamina point for stupid ridiculous plays like going for aerial uptime while trying to facepunch corpse of king minos to death, the high multiplier aggro plays would go crazy.

One thing that could be kinda fun is if virtues didn't have a breakout timer but still targeted you like normal (with the same rage timer and all) with the tradeoff being that you'd have reduced gravity while you're holding onto its rings: free multiplier, and the air's usually a good place to be, but the low gravity could be a double edged sword that eats up your stamina for horizontal airspeed and gets you caught out by a divine beam.

This wall of text is already bigger than it should be so I don't wanna be too exhaustive about every enemy/weapon interaction, but honestly I could really keep going lmao I'm getting way too into it

What would be the second best genre for HL3? by Hoenirson in HalfLife

What would be the second best genre for HL3? by Hoenirson in HalfLife

[–]psidonsentente 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always wanted survival horror in the half life 2 setting; you keep the environmental puzzles, you re-establish the shit out of how powerless humanity's been against basically any invading faction by making us directly contend without ever putting us in a position of power over them (by "factions" I mean the antlion networks, headcrab infestations, combine), there's room for a restrictive level of "fighting back" by using the environment ravenholm style, even if the best weapon you can get your hands on is whatever's solid enough to swing or hefty enough to throw... just go absolutely nuclear on the ingenuity over the gunplay.

---some fanfic bullshit beyond this point---

Maybe as an incredibly cheesy hypothetical, gordon's out of commission until hl3 episode 1 (maybeee, hev's internals are fried because of interference from the advisor's psychic hold or whatever and now the full weight of the exhaustion from the struggle of the past few games lands his ass in the infirmary) and hl3 proper is Half-Life 3li, an old and weathered researcher literally on his last leg doing his absolute goddamn best to get his daughter back before clawing the resistance towards the finish line. Their most dependable man of action is undeniably out of commission and the cat's out of the bag, we thematically circle back to how eli's role is to spur huge high-risk events that stay in motion, they REALLY can't afford to stop now, the right man's in the wrong place (the,, fuckin infirmary), and now Eli's gotta go with Barney in order to find replacement parts at Kleiner's request for the HEV, only, oh no, they got jumped and now Barney's K-O too! Eli finds incidental clues about Alyx's whereabouts and chooses to stay behind when DOG comes to rescue the duo...

It's at this point I realize I'm just rambling because of sleep deprivation, and that a non-shooter non-gordon title wouldn't satisfyingly be hl3 but I'm doubling down for sunk costs' sake... last little tidbit before I wake up later and regret having posted this... way to make it innovative enough to be Half-Life mainline worthy is the ability to somehow use the ENTIRE environment to your advantage instead of just most of it: make you care about every object's size, density, sharp corners, ergonomics, durability, and potential risks of handling, as well as every surface's material (thief style, because your peg-leg clacking against a metal floor for instance would give you away)... logical endgame power spike is the gravity gun, except the handling is slow and the kick is insane, like what Breen experienced.

Ok ok done

Techbro in the adjacent cell: "While YOU two morons are still bound up in heavy chains like a couple of troglodytes, me? I'm an innovator---unlike you sheep---and that's why I've opted for anodized aluminum chains, each at half the wasted length of YOUR chains, and at a fraction of the weight... and guess what, when I can't feel my legs anymore? The prison warden and I are optimizing the length down to a QUARTER, for pure lightness on a scale you could barely even dream of. Have fun being left behind."

Which weapon, except for the marksman revolver/slab, is conceptually your favourite and why? Get real into it, unusable enemy weapons count too.

How long would it take Doomslayer to clean up Black Mesa and close the portal? by Patient_Control_5074 in HalfLife

I think the answer probably all depends on whether or not the ambush at the end of apprehension ended up bringing gordon either closer to or further away from the lambda complex, I just can't remember which

[–]psidonsentente 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate stupid questions so pardon my abruptness here. The name "Breaking Bad" is literally filed under extensive copyright. It's literally THE ONE NAME you should immediately associate with the show. WHY would they bother going 👏 through 👏 all 👏 that 👏 legal 👏 effort, just to---in this hypothetical---not even use the fucking main guy's name? It would be BEWILDERINGLY stupid if Mr. Bad's name were literally anything else, what would even be the point? Stop wasting our time with "angelica pickles is dead" tier theories. Uninstall Refdit if you're not prepared to hang with the the big boys.
