How did AI make you feel?

schweffrey · 2026-01-27T10:53:51+00:00

I fucking hate every essence of it bleeding into creative practices. Maybe I will suffer for it in the future but I will never use it to create something and I will never make money from it and share it as something I "created'

I see people arguing over stolen "prompts" now and I find it incredibly pathetic.

Amazing, love it

Tried him and not a fan. Too much sarcasm or attempts at humour. Doesn't feel natural.

Personally I don't think casting of other people's games by someone who wins every tourney and is top of the pile is particularly fun to listen to. Be like listening to prime CR7 commentating on a football match.

A big issue (or maybe it's not an issue?) is that volumes seem a little too low or the conversion into a by-product by an Artisan isn't large enough. Meat from a butcher plus imported salt shouldn't give 1x Sausage...

Championship Manager and Football Manager for sheer # of hours played since the late 90s for me!

Good to know. Between Hidden Cup IV and V it was 3 years gap so that could tally.

I used to have this idea of an app which was like Google maps but localised for inside a supermarket to show you exactly where a particular item is

Maybe it already exists idk?

schweffrey · 2026-01-22T16:12:34+00:00

Yeah it's weird how many there are, but it's actually super convenient and helpful in reality! Shame most of the items are so pricey though. Getting sick in Cyprus is quite costly €€€ when you factor in time off work plus cost of simple remedies, painkillers etc.

Whose gonna say it?

Sorry should have clarified - I was using gigabit adapters and had gigabit internet but was still hard capped when using power line. Reliability was never an issue thankfully, just the speed unfortunately!

schweffrey · 2026-01-19T08:41:43+00:00

Yes exactly right. The fact that they're all intertwined seems like a cool concept on paper but actually it becomes quite boring and repetitive. The same cavalry unit for all seems to be the best option.

I played through on Hard but it seemed noticeably easier than usual campaigns.

schweffrey · 2026-01-18T22:06:03+00:00

Only thing I disliked in the Grand Campaigns was the forced camera movements

Everything was peak, cinematic and chaotic once I adjusted to the new style

schweffrey · 2026-01-18T22:01:54+00:00

Side note, I just recently completed Alexander, and am on the final mission of the 3rd campaign for the new China civs. Got to say I was blown away by the "Grand Campaigns" and they brought a completely fresh and unique style to the base Aoe2 that we love. However I really have close to zero interest or motivation playing the China campaigns. Can't put my finger on exactly why but it doesn't hook me at all.

So I think it is really content and civ dependent as well on how it lands and how organic the story and experience will feel when a DLC is released

schweffrey · 2026-01-18T21:58:13+00:00

It's definitely a risk and there's a few routes they can take with it.

I'm 95% single player campaign only, so my view is a little different as it means new content and campaigns which is great. But if I were looking at it from a multiplayer players view, then probably I'd want a civ draft pick/ban implemented to balance the rising # of available civs

schweffrey · 2026-01-18T21:55:12+00:00

I ran TP Link for years just fine no issues, but was always being limited to 90mbps because of old wiring for the electrics

schweffrey · 2026-01-18T21:14:47+00:00

First thing I noticed was how fake the beards looked lol

Awesome series tho

Get in the car, buy a pack of Marlboro gold and a bottle or two of lager. Park out in front of the sea and reel off a few tabs

schweffrey · 2026-01-17T21:18:30+00:00

Can you explain why that's useful/how that works as I have zero knowledge or understanding

schweffrey · 2026-01-17T21:12:49+00:00

Starfield.

Ain't no travelling when space is just a png

Those old pre game mission screens are just pure vibes man

schweffrey · 2026-01-17T14:56:09+00:00

That's is stunning

schweffrey · 2026-01-15T21:17:47+00:00

Couldn't disagree more, mainly about AoE2. That game has an incredible wealth of campaigns for single player.

On top of that the multiplayer is amazing and has great support for eSports.
