B…bu…but it’ll trickle dooooown
As adults we are dubious of the results that AI gives us. We take the answers with a handful of salt and I feel like over the years we have built up a skillset for using search engines for answers and sifting through the results. Kids haven’t got years of experience of this and so they may take what is said to be true and not question the results.
As you say, the kids should be taught to use the tool properly, and verify the answers. AI is going to be forced onto us whether we like it or not, people should be empowered to use it and not accept what it puts out as gospel.
The subscription fee imo is warranted given they release new content every 3 months, which includes voice acting, new dungeons, and new raid content. If it was a monthly sub with nothing released between expansions it wouldn’t be acceptable imo. Highly recommend not having a recurring sub
I have 3,400 hours in this game. What I enjoy is that I’m not expected to dedicate my life to it. I pay for 30 days at a time and play when new content is released every 3 months.
I know the last expansion Dawntrail is being slated on Steam reviews, but gameplay wise it was great. The music was solid as always, the Arcadion content was fun and the new zones looked great. Given how good the story has been in the past expansions I can understand how hard it must be to write a whole new story arc and make everyone happy. Some people want something entirely new, while others want to keep it all the same.
I’m personally not a fan of adding another ~2 hours onto my work days just to get a 3 day weekend. I feel like I would lose my time in the afternoon to wind down. I would much prefer to cut down to a 4 day week and work less hours with the same pay, but most companies are not going to do that.
I see new content every day, and that is after blocking a lot of instances that aren’t relevant to my taste. I don’t think this place is dead, it just needs more of those 48k to contribute.
This weekend just gone I’ve been playing Sins of a Solar Empire II & Steam World Heist II. Both great games, the style and music in SWHII is really well done, and a worthy successor to the first game.
Just tested and got the exact same
“It’s the anxiety associated with real-time conversations, potential awkwardness, not having the answers and the pressure to respond immediately” - this hits the nail on the head for me about not wanting to be on the phone/teams call in the work place. Being pulled into a call with no context is my biggest nightmare.
Honestly at this moment it’s the style they are going for. It’s difficult to describe, it’s kind of old timey tech noir. The base gameplay feels very similar to SMITE.
I’ve got access to the game on steam, the game feels very alpha stage at the moment. There’s already a good roster of characters to choose from and the style is interesting.
It looks like a VR tech demo that they decided to change into a non-vr game.
If it were me I would add a giant creature into it that has a personality depending on how I and the villagers treat it. Maybe change the name to something that rhymes with “Back and Kite” and slap a number on it, the number 3 feels right for some reason.
Surely this is better than the crypto/NFT tech fad. At least there is some output from the generative AI that could be beneficial to the whole of humankind rather than lining a few people’s pockets?
Give Deep Space Nine a go if you haven’t it’s the slightly darker side of trek.
It would be cool if it included other names for things. E.g. Kubernetes can also be known as K8s. Also not too mobile friendly when looking at more info. Besides that it is an interesting concept!
When I first moved into my house I needed to improve the insulation as the existing stuff wasn’t sufficient. I reached out to a spray foam company who sent a salesman around. The guy was incredibly pushy and didn’t care about the minor details. When I was saying it was too much he called his manager up on the phone and was talking to her like she was a piece of shit that he’d trodden in. I reached a point and asked him to leave. About 15 minutes after he’d left the manager called me back directly sounding like she’d been crying, asking for feedback on the guy. Even after I said it was a terrible experience she continued to try and sell the service to me! It was probably some terrible double-act to get sales.
It left a bad taste, I got the feeling it was a terrible cowboy operation and they were claiming to be one of the major players in the UK. Seeing this and over time reading people’s experiences really makes me feel like I dodged a bullet by not getting foam spray insulation. It all sounded too good to be true.
Set it to UK if that link isn’t working for you
I decided to give the gold place breaking video a watch and although these people are skilled, I just don’t quite get the “this is the current peak of human physical fitness/skill” that we see from other sports. Diving, Rowing, BMXing, even synchronised swimming were all really impressive. I wonder if Breaking will make a return?
They are without a doubt using whatever they can as an excuse to be their racist selves. Unfortunately the media and Facebook/WhatsApp echo chambers exacerbate the issue further, working these Neanderthals into a violent frenzy
