Never really had too much problems with that puzzle. The one that always shitted me in The Dig was the stupid “catch the rat” puzzle.

The good news for this artist is that when the conservatives call your stuff Satanic, it usually means it’s actually great. See also: rock music, comic books, Dungeons & Dragons...

The training set issue is a little more complex - if for example the AI included protected medical records by accident, I suspect that’s a lot more of a grey area than simple Fair Use - but agree, in most cases copyright law is pretty clear. I mean hell, at the core of this controversy we have an artist drawing a…

You definitely need some kind of sensor, but in the end the range of motion of a human is limited and if you assume that they’re not John Cleese doing the Ministry of Silly Walks sketch, most movement is fairly predictable.

The best part is that in the end, it’s probably a win for us either way - we’ll likely get a cool VR world thing (but probably not made by Meta, someone else will sweep in and do it properly) and with any luck we get to see the demise of easily the most morally bankrupt bottom-feeder software megacorp as it’s burned…

Yeah, it further cheapens and commodifies the value of art and the work that artists actually do. And it will absolutely be exploited by corpos to do everything on the cheap because they don’t and never have given two shits about artistic integrity or anything like it except when it results in a nice payday.

Who actually owns the copyright for the AI-generated image anyway? Is it the guy who stole another person’s work and fed it into the algorithm? The inventor of the algorithm? Is it actually no one, the art can’t be copyrighted for the same reason that those photos taken by a monkey that stole a camera couldn’t be…

In European regions, we never got Xenosaga 1 and 3. Namco instead decided to only release Xenosaga 2, in an expensive collector’s edition that came with a disc that basically contained all of the first game’s cutscenes to “catch up”.

This is good to know, thanks. Time to go link it to something else so I can stop stressing out about losing this damn dongle and forever being locked out of my account.

It’s true that they do, but the last time I used it I found it’s also implemented in a fairly old-fashioned way which is pretty inconvenient - requires running their app or buying a dongle, requires entering it way too many places (eg every time you start the game - no way to ‘remember this device’), can’t link the…

Doesn’t look like a lot of value was lost in this particular case, but let’s call a spade a spade: Nintendo banned *anime* boobs. Guarantee you that if a western developer produced a game that had a topless character at some point but depicted in a “realistic” art style it would still get a pass.

Worth noting that Zhongli’s second story quest is *not* a pre-requisite for the “main story” (Archon) quest though. Chapter 1, Act 4 requires doing the initial Dainslief quest and Razor’s story quest, Chapter 2, Act 2 requires Yoimiya & Ayaka’s story quests, and Chapter 2, Act 4 requires you to have unlocked the Chasm…

Really makes me happy to see them realizing their strengths as a company and deciding to double down on it. Maybe less so for the Eidos and Crystal Dynamics people that ended up shoved over to Embracer, hope that still ends up working out for them. Especially sucked when it seemed the final straw was Guardians of the…

It’s a terribly badly designed fight IMO. Too many AoE attacks without an obvious tell or a good way to dodge them. A year later and I still periodically have runs that are touch & go because I screw up somewhere.

Honestly haven’t looked into the 3070, it was their cheaper 3080s which were considered bottom of the barrel, especially at launch. The ‘Eagle’ especially - cooler just wasn’t up to snuff. They were also among the worst with the power delivery issues which caused cards to crash when they rapidly changed their clock -…

The other models are not the baseline models though, so not sure what you’re trying to argue. Gigabyte still has the reputation of having the worst performing cards among the higher end 30 series AIBs, in contrast to previous gens where they were fairly good. Likely it’s the same issue that EVGA were complaining about…

Yeah, problem is that the Eagle and Gaming OC are exactly the ‘baseline’ card options you’re praising.

They get praise for their customer service because of things like their step up program where you could get a newer part if you bought a superseded one within 90 days of the new one appearing, and that they were the only ones to actually set up a decent queue system for the 30 series when they were unobtainable,…

Gigabyte dropped the ball *hard* on the 30 series unfortunately. That’s why they’re cheaper.

It’s 80% of their revenue but barely any of their actual profit, and if they’re selling their highest end cards at a loss because Nvidia is forcing them to, then you can understand why they might want to jump out and focus on something else.
