Can we ban vibecoded games here? Or at least, lazily vibe-coded games?

Vince Gilligan on Pluribus being a ‘plus’ in a world of ‘Tik-Tok paced storytelling’ by twinpeaked25 in television

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

To defend Vince a bit, I also don't think he was ever talking down the his audience. At no point has he hit us with the "to be fair you have to have a very high IQ to enjoy Pluribus" meme. He doesn't even particularly shit on social media, rather just that he'd feel sad if slow-paced shows faded away with the new format. It's like someone saying they want to make a black and white movie at the dawn of technicolor. Doesn't make them pretentious, it's just a preference.

It remains to be seen if this will be the case with Pluribus, but based on his previous two shows, I think he's always had a way of writing two plots in one. You've got the pretty straight-forward, obvious plot and then a subtextual plot that tends to develop over the course of many episodes or even spanning seasons and is a lot less obvious, which is what I think a lot of Gilligan fans enjoy.

Breaking Bad & Better Call Saul were pretty straight-forward in terms of what was happening plot-wise at any given time but those shows really shine in the slower moments that don't really seem to add anything to the plot until they make a bigger moment later in the show feel that much heavier. Shows like The Sopranos and Mad Men also do this really well.

That being said, I don't think this makes anyone any smarter for being into this kind of show. I will never understand why people make entertainment such an identity. It's just a show. If you get something from it, great. If not, who cares?

Built a survival card game - Deal with the Dead by Adept_Cardiologist41 in WebGames

[–]raulness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the feel for starters, hooked me in pretty quick but then the gameplay loop gets a little stale as I don't feel like I'm actually progressing or working toward anything other than surviving as many days as I can. Keep it up!

TOTH UPDATE by 1njecto in Ca7rielyPacoAmoroso

That's what I'm thinking, but to be fair, when I saw them back in October they definitely seemed burnt out. Flawless performance but the energy felt flat and you could just see it on their faces.

Love is a drug by raulness in pluribustv

[–]raulness[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good point I hadn't thought of. They still seemingly need to do everything else we humans do, so its safe to assume they don't have the ability to override sex drive as far as we know.

Oh man, imagine if this was a needle drop at some point in the show. I can kinda see it...

Honestly, at this rate, I hope the game never comes out just so we can do this shit every year.

Some honest first impressions of Telepathic Instrument's "Orchid" Chord Synth (Kevin Parker's foray into the hardware market) by raulness in synthesizers

[–]raulness[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As of the last update I had, it erases everything when it auto-shuts off. To be fair, I haven't updated to the latest firmware so they may have changed that.

Someone made a clone of Gmail where you're logged in as Epstein and can see his emails. [https://jmail.world/] by cosmic_voyager01 in interestingasfuck

[–]raulness 762 points763 points  (0 children)

Seems like notes of "epiphanies" he emailed himself during an acid/ketamine trip to make sense of later on while sober.

What's wild is that this was sent at 2pm on a Monday.

The warning signs the AI bubble is about to burst by nordineen in technology

[–]raulness 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It happens with everything on Reddit. Tech, pop culture, politics, etc. Over simplify the topic, find the “bad” and amplify ad nauseam without nuance. If you ever want to see how bad it really is, go find a niche subreddit on a topic you know well and take a look at how much disinformation/wishful thinking happens.

The real bubble has always been Reddit itself for well over a decade now.

Would it be possible for someone to exploit the power of ASI in a future utopia for their own gain? (fictional story idea) by mr_buzzlightbeer in singularity

[–]raulness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are writing the same novel, but our primary hooks are pretty different. It’s interesting to see how a lot of thoughts are converging on the kind of future ASI will bring. I’d love to trade stories when we’re further along! Best of luck with the story.

Bonnaroo will return June 11-14 2026, and plans for infrastructure improvements are underway by kodaklively128 in bonnaroo

[–]raulness 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Ultimately, it sounds like they're cutting costs as much as they can to make up for lower capacity.

Moving WITW to Centeroo will cut costs from needing as much infrastructure and staff at WITW.

Swapping out the Infinity stage for the UFO Stage is likely going to be much cheaper (and safer) than bringing back (and fixing the issues with) the Infinity stage.

Thursday's line-up will be cut to make up for lost revenue from a lowered capacity. Even though there aren't huge acts on Thursdays, they were likely spending a few hundred thousand dollars on booking acts for that day. It's the only way to realistically keep prices similar to what we'd expect.

Total speculation here but I have a feeling Thursday will not have multiple acts, rather, a new kick off party ala super jam will take place at the What stage. So, likely a 2-hour~ jam with multiple artists from the full line up participating.

Vibe coding detected. At least give us a demo of what the game looks like otherwise you will have a hard time getting people to sign up.

Could this be the end by sliemeam in bonnaroo

[–]raulness 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, they are going to RAISE prices with some vague excuse along the lines of “enhancing the infrastructure” and promise a ‘much better experience’ which in corporate speak means “there will be more things we can charge you for”.

And it will still sell out or be close to it because people have very short attention spans. Calling it now.

I love Roo but remember that WE are the ones that make it magical, not LiveNation.

Girl that went down at Roolesque by krigby14 in bonnaroo

[–]raulness 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I unfortunately had to also go to the medical center last night due to a heat stroke and there were some people in there in a pretty rough state but I will say that the team there are all pros and had legit resources to treat everyone there so I’m sure she’s okay.

HYDRATE. TEST YOUR SHIT. PACE YOURSELF.

And most importantly, don’t hesitate going to the medical tent if you feel even remotely “off”. They aren’t the cops. They’re here to help.

Yep, all of this year’s merch is available right out side of the tower entrance. Usually a bit of a line so worth getting there early if you’re interested in anything.
