Guitar Hero is a good time, but I dream of another Rockband release. Rockband 4 was the centerpiece of every Friday night with my friends in college, and through much of our 20s. We still get together from time to time to belt out bad renditions of Blink-182 but at this point, the drum kit is held together by tape,…

I’m not cheering for Disney’s success, I’m just celebrating Ron’s failures.

It could just be a camera issue but it looks in the twitter video above like the blade flexes significantly with even minor movements. The actors carrying them will be restricted to a very specific set of movements, at a very specific distance from guests, in very specific lighting conditions.

Ellie in the show did not just grow up witnessing and hearing about what FEDRA gets up to - the FEDRA school she was growing up in was not teaching literature and math. It was teaching them how to hunt and kill Fireflies. She exists in a world where violence between strangers is the rule, not the exception, and where…

They’re still trying to figure out how to legislate the last couple decades worth of technological advancement, and since few of them can be assed to actually learn anything about what they vote on, they defer to the lobbyists and committee consultants (former or future lobbyists) to simply tell them whatever they’re…

I’m playing an activity or two every day after work and enjoying some of the post-campaign missions but from a story perspective, I think I just get more lost with every new line of dialog. Suddenly the Veil and the Black Heart are twins? Nevermind that we still don’t have a fucking clue what the Veil is, or what the…

The final mission on 2-man legendary was an absolute slog. By that point, using strand felt like a debuff.

I will say - the tormenters become trivial once you realize how terrible their pathfinding and hitboxes are. If one of them is attacking you with the ranged pizza slicer shit, just find cover. If it’s trying to…

There are a number of encounters throughout the campaign that are solved the same way - avoid the mechanics by posting up on a ledge or a corner and plink away. It felt a bit like a regression to Destiny 1. The spinning red wall encounter was Phogoth 2.0.

They might be, but if they have different guests in each video and they’re blowing up on TikTok, it shouldn’t take very long for a tiktok fan to put it to the test.

I think the best way to play the game is somewhere in between the two versions of Cyberpunk Luke describes, but the game doesn’t make that obvious at all, and frequently tries to convince you that you need to barrel straight through the main story because you’re going to die any second now.

I don’t think your average charging station has the hardware to mine, and their electricity usage is going to be monitored extremely closely. Bad actors pushing crypto miner malware don’t need to target janky hardware - they can just aim for PCs.

The worst part is that basically anyone who has played Halo Infinite could tell you how to still do it as a live service that isn’t an absolute drag because the Master Chief Collection is right there! If they’d had:

- Forge (or even a functioning content pipeline for anything other than microtransactions) at launch
- Kep…

It wasn’t a simple search-and-replace finding every mention of “blue” and making it “green”. It’s “Jane’s blue hair shimmered like the night sky” to “Jane’s green hair swayed in the breeze, like long grass”. The writer identifies ‘facts’ in their writing, which the language model retains and attempts to maintain in a…

These tools exist - Latitude’s AI suite includes tools designed for traditional writing with productivity and editing functionality handed over to the AI. However, I found that they require so much ‘managing’ of the AI that it ended up being faster to just stick with traditional writing apps.

It sort of already is - there are at least a dozen different commercial products right now for writing ad copy, SEO optimized blog posts, etc. All that drivel and shit that shows up when you try to google a recipe, or a product review, or a release date for that new show you want to watch. I get ads daily for programs…

I’m curious how the publishing world will react to other AI writing tools. At some point last year, I tried one while looking for a new word processing tool. It allowed the author to write the story, but was capable of things like editing your story based on things you changed yourself. For example, if I write a whole…

This kind of hellworld management from regional/corporate is par for the course in every retail/service job I ever had. Gap (the clothing retailer) would regularly schedule two people to process 8000 new inventory items in 4 hours. This isn’t possible btw - this would mean you need to open a box, unpack the contents,…

this stupid fucking boat shouldn’t exist, the wealth of the man who owns it should not exist in the hands of one person, and trickle down economics is fake. 

I think they are trapped by the limitations of their engine. I understand they’ve improved their tools since Destiny 1, but I remember the stories about how something as simple as editing the placement of a boulder in a patrol zone required hours of processing time.

For the price of your PS+ subscription you should definitely try the game out if you want to experience the most finely-polished solo/co-op shooter mechanics on the market in a vast setting full of cool stories and mysteries. Even if you only end up playing through the story content and never touching it again, it’s…
