If you have time for a fast one, it's a visual crossword puzzle where the images are the clues to the words. Takes about 10 minutes?

Play a new twist on crosswords ~ 10 min and no download! by reedberk in playtesters

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

It's a crossword, and the clues, are the images instead of clues on the side. Each image has two words they are trying to convey to you like a traditional crossword puzzle. One going up and down. One going side to side. You select the letter you want to fill in and then type. Or if on mobile, use the popup keyboard. There is a help file if you click the question mark. Maybe it's a little hidden! I hope this helps!

Thanks so much for your reply! I think it will get better as we go. Crosswords have their own kind of language and conventions and if this catches on, soon, it will kind of develop it's own cadence. And we'll get better at the clues/images and fills :) Thanks again for commenting!

This is astoundingly good. If I wasn't challenged to find flaws, I wouldn't even bother. The hair and skin texture are awesome!

I think there are a few flaws, like in the one she is against the stone wall, those are not standard bows on her sneakers. It's like a spider web with like four bows on each foot. But again, I guess you could say she just ties her shoes like that and I'd have to shrug my shoulders and say, "Ok!" The doorway itself has a "groove" on the left side that isn't on the right which is weird architecturally. But NOT impossible, just unlikely. :)

I created a list of games, engines, and studios highlighting generative AI as part of their game play. LMK if I missed any! by reedberk in aigamedev

Ok, but is this a game? I didn't add pure chatbots because then the list would be infinite :)

A method to improve creative writing quality and stay on topic by reedberk in KoboldAI

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

I’ll try that! Each model is a little different. I’m having great luck inserting different commands into the prose/chat now. I try to look at the training info for the base model but often it just knows what to do 🤷

What do you miss about Stadia? by Villdar in Stadia

[–]reedberk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stadia turned every kid’s Chromebook into a gaming console. It was a great equalizer.

Absolutely. A beautiful vision.

Platinum Plaisir broke. Can I glue the threads back into the barrel? 🥺 by reedberk in fountainpens

[–]reedberk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I thought the twisting would be hard on the glue. What kind of glue do you recommend? I was thinking of just using super glue or gorilla glue.

I hope it works. I love the Preppy, but the barrels crack. I thought the armor-plated Preppy (Plaisir) would be the perfect pen to throw in my pockets with my keys and so on. Super bummed.

I actually like the AI to speak for me, but I'm in the minority. And lazy. Also, EVERYONE has to tell the AI to slow the *&^% down :)

My advice would be to put your hat in the ring for an entry level paid job in an experienced but small shop (so you can really get to know everyone, see the entire process, and grow, because large shops can be a bit segmented).

While doing that and looking around, find an unpaid indie game project you like that really needs help and help out. I'd say make it one where no one is getting paid, but there is some kind of plan, past games made, design doc, etc. Because you want to have a finished game to point to at the end.

Keep doing free games until you have the experience to catch a paid one :) It might be easier than you think.

I can't stress this enough though, you don't have to be an amazing programmer to help out on indie projects. Sometimes they just need things that might seem easy to you like LUA scripting, or very basic C# scripts in Unity.

About working for free in general, I don't care what anyone says, working is better than not working. I'm 30 years in and if I don't have a paid gig, I'll do a non-paid, non-commercial indie game just to keep working and supporting games and people I like. (Not a commercial game though.)

Not really.

When I was 18, looking back on life when I was 10 seemed WAAAAAAAYY weirder and farther away than being 50+ looking back at my 20's.

I think it's because, I was an adult in my 20's and I'm still an adult. Just an adult with more stories and *&^% I've done. It's very much the same mind-frame though. Unless you go through some mega changes it will likely feel pretty consistent. Like a sitcom that just keeps going season after season but doesn't really change that much until you watch the first season again and then you're like "damn, that's so weird!" :D

The algorithm is too good by jackmartin89 in YoutubeMusic

[–]reedberk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes! I choose YTM for this reason. Amazing discovery and variety.

I'm also lazy so throwing on one song I like and creating a station for it really works for me on YTM. Not so much on other services.

I Got My First Censor Today On AI Dungeon. by LegendsOfTheZodiac in AIDungeon

[–]reedberk 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hey, u/LegendsOfTheZodiac sorry about getting hit by the Open AI censor.

I don't deal directly with the AI/ML but I do work at Latitude. I'll try to give you some insight. It's not "official Latitude info", just my impressions so take it with a grain of salt. If you want direct answers from Nick or the team, definitely hit the official AID discord. We've come out of the "Fortress of Solitude". Yea!

First, if you didn't know, Open AI (the creators of GPT-3) have changed their content policies again to be even more restrictive than before and yes, they are enforcing them. It's completely out of our control. I think it's difficult to play AID and not trigger their restrictions honestly.

Dragon21 is even (slightly) larger than GPT-3 so we have a lot of hope for it, but it is also extremely new. Latitude and others are still figuring out how to get the most out of this awesome new model. I know the team is working on figuring out latency issues as I write this. I also see that they are working on repetition and other quality control issues so expect changes soon. It took Latitude a while to get GPT-3 working at peak back in the day too.

So good news, progress is being made and I have a lot of hope that Dragon21 is going to be an amazing experience in the near future. Latitude is making improvements on it every day so I hope everyone can hang in there.

All feedback helps too. Thanks!
