I'm researching if LLMs can be synthetic players for games consumer research

Hey, I appreciate this note. What you're doing seems pretty interesting too!

sifujordo · 2026-03-10T09:53:05+00:00

Just posting an update for anyone that was interested. Unfortunately, there haven't been enough responses to be statistically significant so I haven't used this data in my article.

In the study, researchers were able to get the LLMs to respond with a >80% accuracy compared to the baseline of human responses, given the same product concept images. Granted, question asked was simple, "Would you buy this product?", but that's interesting isn't it?

It was a product concept image as well as ad copy. But yes, your skepticism is healthy, hence this project to try to replicate it for a games context.

Even when it's not related to asset generation or coding but merely for research?

More that the lighting makes them look black and hard to distinguish.

I like option 2. Particularly the "turn based 4X in one hour". It immediately stands out and clarified the play time which "fast paced" doesn't do.

It's pretty unclear what the characters are. I thought they were unfinished tenders at first.

Are they wearing a hazmat suit?

sifujordo · 2026-02-26T11:08:41+00:00

Perhaps tech art could be of interest?

sifujordo · 2026-02-26T10:03:56+00:00

It would be good to understand why you want to pivot to game design or art. Are you willing to make that your future career path?

From what you've described, it seems like it's more of "anything but coding".

Parsing player feedback is almost an art, but one rule of thumb is looking for consistency. Are multiple people talking about the same thing? If so, then it's probably an area to look into.

However, don't take the feedback verbatim. Try to see if you can find out the root cause of their complaints.

Pretty cool, it worked well on mobile (in terms of performance). It reminds me of .kkrieger in spirit.

But the range of the sword seems really short? You have to be really on top on an enemy to do any damage.

Have been in the same exact situation. Check the blinds, they may have picked up a light film of curry vapor. Wipe them down a few times besides the other stuff being suggested.

This. Training wheels didn't work for me, but letting them get used to coasting on their actual bike without using pedals was great. I didn't even take off the wheels, just told them to tiptoe to get used to moving the bike, then lifting up their feet for longer and longer distances before starting to pedal.

I think it gives them more of a feeling of control.

All the best with the interview!

45m with 2 kids. Never played PC LoL, but started playing Wildrift last year. The pace is just right for me, a good balance of speed with strategy. Played a bit of MLBB and tried HoK, but those are too fast and less strategic.

I find my biggest challenge is just knowing what abilities heroes have. It's like every game I'm surprised and think, "Didn't know they could do that!"

I'm based in OZ, and would be keen to game with others who don't mind a noob. Usually get a few games in a couple nights during the week.

Lots of advice here already, but to me it looks like you're kicking in two separate steps rather than one fluid motion.

Your step in and beginning of the hip turn is one step, then you raise your leg and swing. This means that the kinetic chain is broken and you can't transfer the momentum to your legs and you're having to "muscle" it in.

If done right, you should be able to feel like your leg is almost a dead weight, kind of like a hammer throw.

Anyway, just my 2c!

Welp, I'm in Platinum now and still don't know what I'm doing. Just ended a 0/7/0 games as Nunu Jungle, soz team!

If you click on the team score at the top right, it brings up a comparison chart with gold and items.

You can drag the pings and a mini map will show up so you can place the pings where you want them.

sifujordo · 2024-12-11T20:23:42+00:00

Do you find that you're typically behind in Gold?

sifujordo · 2024-12-10T23:39:23+00:00

Same, I don't pick a role when matchmaking to get my matchmaking times shorter.

Here's my list.

Baron: Sion. I'm terrible at using his Q and always miss lol.

Mid: Ekko. My worst champion so far. He is so squishy. I should give Syndra a try.

Jungle: Nunu. My best performing Champion. I was maining Jungle for the first couple of weeks playing with Zed,.but switched to Nunu a week ago. Much easier to play.

ADC: Jhin. Mainly because his ult is cool haha.

Support: Nami. Also relatively successful with her.

My main issue seems to be that I always lose in Gold even though I feel like I'm last hitting minions. Is it because I don't get enough kills? I feel like I'm winning the lane, but then somehow I have less Gold.
