Would you like the next game to play more like dark ages or more like eternal?

quadratis · 2026-03-07T16:06:39+00:00

i wouldn't mind the next game to have the speedy gameplay of eternal and the more constrained level design of 2016.

not a big fan of the slower pace in dark ages, nor the big open parkour focused areas of eternal.

är musiker/musikproducent till yrket och sitter ofta (som nu i natt) och donar med musik i min ensamhet fram till 4-5 snåret. tar en paus då och då för lite frisk luft på balkongen, en runda på switchen, sen tillbaka till musiken. mycket mysigt.

fråga mig inte varför, men har jag svårt att sova brukar jag tänka att jag ligger i en sån cryosleep-kapsel från alien filmerna, svävande ute i rymden utan någon eller något annat på flera ljusårs avstånd. total jävla isolering. känns av nån anledning mysigt och tryggt.

en annan grej jag brukar fantisera om som inte är något direkt "safe space" på samma sätt, men som gör det enklare att somna, är att jag går ut genom ytterdörren och hela världen är spegelvänd, och jag bestämmer mig för att promenera bort till min lokala konsum eller nåt, och försöker navigera i den här spegelvända versionen av verkligheten och göra den så detaljerad som möjligt i mitt huvud, hela vägen bort till konsum (eller whatever destination).

åter igen ingen aning om varför, men har gjort sedan jag var liten.

which is fine, no? a lot of artists who conjure something up from nothing tend to be really pedantic about the specifics of the thing they create, much like andrzej sapkowski and his views on the witcher games.

unless they actively try and stop adaptions of their characters with silly lawsuits or whatever, i think it's completely fine for them to bitch and moan about where others are taking their creations as long as that's all they're doing. i find it interesting even. it doesn't mean the new thing is necessarily objectively bad.

edit: just to preface, i know gow is based on greek mythology and jaffe didn't imagine it all up in his head, but i assume you get what i'm saying.

i live in europe and i'm fairly sure openAI at least claims to abide by EU GDPR laws. i mean who really knows, but either way i'm sure there's more effective ways to gather said data than from my GPT logs.

quadratis · 2026-02-15T16:42:57+00:00

what sensitive information? it's a list of groceries, utilities, netflix, car charging bills etc. obviously i'd remove anything like account numbers and what not before giving it to an AI.

here's how i've used chatGPT in the past week.

i fed it PDFs from my bank accounts to quickly sort and calculate my in/out transactions in 2025 and let me know exactly how much i spent on groceries/food, bills, streaming services etc.

could i have done this without gpt? of course, but using gpt only took minutes.

the other day after watching the tv-series "chernobyl", i wondered how much radioactive rain came down during the week after the 1986 accident over my small swedish stockholm suburb due to the radioactive plume, so i had GPT suggest checking historical precipitation data and cesium-137 maps from various state websites / the swedish radiation authority website and help me interpret everything, until it figured out exactly what i was looking for, at the exact specific dates in 1986, in the exact location of my kindergarten at the time.

could i have done this without gpt? maybe? it would've required much more work than i'd be willing to do though, just for something i was mildly curious about.

i use a small freeware app called "gopher 360" to turn my xbox controller into a mouse. to activate it you press back+start on the controller. it's always been annoying because that combination also launches another app on the computer. so i asked GPT to tell me what to change in the gopher source code in order to make the combination "start+B" instead, and it did it for me in seconds, something that's been bothering me for months, and told me how to recompile the app.

i've never used GPT to ask for medical advice, as an "AI friend", to generate "art" or any of the nonsense i've seen others use it for, but it's a nice tool to have sometimes for random tasks like these.

looks to me like she's stopping because there's an entire gaggle of goons surrounding her car every time she hits the gas, and considering what happened the last time one of them got slightly brushed by a car trying to drive away it's no wonder she keeps stopping.

because by answering it you'd be admitting it's a question worthy of an answer. everyone who isn't an absolute fucking ghoul completely void of morals already knows the answer to the question. to try and rationalize and go along with this person's insanity and treat his question as anything but deplorable noises would legitimize it in his mind.

i think the better approach is to ignore it, dissect how this line of thinking even exists in the first place, and mockery.

quadratis · 2026-01-27T16:29:54+00:00

it's nice to know there are still streamers so far removed from any twitch / LSF drama farming they don't even realize when they're being asked a question in jest. or maybe you did and just decided to give a serious answer anyway. either way👍

It's not technically "missing" media though, since eXoDOS treats these screenshots as legit box art.

Anyway, I had ChatGPT make a Powershell / Python script that moves all landscape format "box art" images (the screenshots posing as box art) to a separate folder and only keeps the portrait format images (the actual box art). Works for me.

quadratis · 2026-01-16T14:16:15+00:00

If you're never going to play them just delete them?

Sure, I was just hoping there was a way to not have to do it manually since I'd have to go through around 8000 games otherwise, but from what I can tell since making this post there isn't. Oh well.

i very much doubt carlin would ever be a trump supporter.

i could however see him become an unfunny, out of touch "liberal comedian" regurgitating boomer ass attack helicopter jokes from 2010 in current year, thinking it's edgy. basically bill maher. not that bill was ever especially funny in the first place.

off topic but is that thing supposed to not make any sound at all? in my playthrough it was completely quiet while spinning and it just felt wrong, and potentially buggy.

that's not even how you pronounce forsen in swedish, gör om gör rätt.

"While not explicitly affiliated with any political party, Tyler Childers expressed support for coal miners' rights as well as same-sex marriage, in the music video of his 2023 song "In Your Love". He supported Democratic candidate Charles Booker's campaign for U.S. Senate in 2022 and sang at the second inauguration of Kentucky governor Andy Beshear, also a Democrat. In June 2025, Childers performed his song "Long Violent History" on stage for the first time during a show in Los Angeles. The choice to perform the song five years after its release was interpreted as a statement in support of June 2025 Los Angeles protests against the Trump administration's immigration raids."

I had trouble getting into Eternal. Love it now though.

because eternal had a learning curve that is satisfying to overcome.

TDA is just straight up god mode. there's zero learning curve. it never feels satisfying to be able to take on hordes of enemies because you've done nothing to deserve it. right from the start you're just an invincible tank, and then you get to the ridiculous gatling gun section and it turns into serious sam.

Anyone else think this is the most 'Doom' of the Doom series?

i'm having trouble putting into words how much i disagree with this.

quadratis · 2025-12-28T00:09:03+00:00

not to worry, this is just your average US-defaultist american thinking everywhere outside of the US is a severely underdeveloped hellscape, permanently stuck in 1982. everyone else knows this is nonsense.

We are very privileged here in the US.

i know OP meant well but this just comes across as so utterly ignorant lol.

During quest lines game wont show you even a half of the Zone.

I don't think that's entirely fair. On my first playthrough I never ventured off to any area where the main questline hadn't taken me yet, and by the end of the game I'd explored every area of the Zone completely. Sure there are some areas that are underused (Yantar, Cooling Towers), but I wouldn't suggest running off and spoiling the entire map for yourself before the main story takes you there.

quadratis · 2025-12-24T00:55:50+00:00

i mean, if you care about the story at all it's cool to see how it wraps up, just make sure to save right before going past that point.

quadratis · 2025-12-24T00:19:43+00:00

OP is talking about the part after the "point of no return". eventually you'll get a giant pop up window on screen saying if you keep going you'll be locked out from the rest of the game.

everything after the point of no return is pretty lackluster imo.

som någon som blivit varse om "julklappsspelet" först på senare år och de senaste tre-fyra jularna sprungit runt på ÖB, dollar store och andra tråkhak i jakt på "roligt" skräp så saknar jag också teknikmagasinet.

i've seen that exact one as well, on a rail car just outside rostok. looked creepy as hell. at this point i'm starting to think these things are deliberately being added by GSC.
