I could not believe it, but I'm choosing to... Believe it.

It's funny because we don't even need GPU's. There's tech that offloads the model's "search" to an analog computer which is ~98% accurate for a fraction of the energy.

I imagine NVIDIA isn't too excited about that side of AI, though.

I think it's for people who are intentionally playing poorly, not navigating their way around the map and getting lost or being a poor shot

Possible prequel to His.

Yup. Lighthearted through perseverance

Damn right! Damn hell ass right!

You lack the cultural lens of America. About half of our country governs from the perspective of "why should I?" with the most negative and self-preserving mindset possible.

Why should I pay for others healthcare, even if it means they pay for mine? Why should I donate my blood if it doesn't benefit me?

Solve that problem by giving you $25-100 for your "donations"

Repeating the exact same rhetoric that led to all of the hate crimes in 2016 all over again.

This is the exact language we can expect should he somehow get elected again. If his cultists still support him and he continues to have a platform, we can expect that they will commit more hate crimes.

Did you see Borderlands, Killer's Game, or any of the Rebel Moon variations?

I have some bad news for you, I think the poisoning might be poisoning you.

That's awesome, I didn't know that bit! I was coming from a colorless perspective for this engagement simply for the idea that if color is present, that it might become the predominant name.

But as you mentioned, having them share the same letter actually resolves that issue completely

Like bullet hells?

I really like exceed 1-3.

Gundeadgnline is good.

Kinda can't get away from Touhou.

Yeah but what your dad didn't talk about was how the generational connection to the meme has been slowly bled out by social media companies, replacing genuine nostalgia for manufactured social humor.

That is to say, boomers felt more connected to their memes than they did to ours, and more than we did to ours.

Likewise, we have more connection to the memes of our youth than Gen Z supposedly will/does to their memes.

And of course, it's a bunch of B.S. because how do you quantify nostalgic connection! We didn't watch Skibidi toilet, so how could we call upon it's nostalgia the same way that we do for F7U12 or Trollolol?

The only thing I could potentially agree with about my own claims here are that there is a small shift in the amount of relevance of each generations cultural memehood, where as each newer generation comes, there is more and more content to draw from. Not only do current generations have Mario and Sonic memes, they also have Skibidi and social memes, so I could see there being a bit of a "limit" on how possible it is to like all of the memes equally.

Basically, in 20 years, will Skibidi be looked back at as fondly as Rage comics? Honestly, probably. But how about all of the other 49,000 memes?

The best meme survives, so what will be nostalgic for Gen Z?

Maybe this will be the first time we get a conclusion. Or, wait, even better! It can lead into Constantine 3!

I was thinking shapes as well, but then it comes down to design again - how a simple inflection of color nearby could suddenly attribute spade to blue then we're back to square one.

It's an interesting thing to develop for. I think you're onto something with theme, each of the 5 lanes for Deadlock could couple to a lore-related word. Something like, Siege, Blitz, Moor, Caldera, Fortitress (fortified fortress?). Each of the words have a distinct symbol present on the lane.

For future developers that seems like something relatively feasible. It's a little more design work than just tossing a color on a line and calling it a day, but it seems like it could work well. It seems like it solves the core issue of color-only referencing and it can enhance the game by giving it some additional lore. It also should function effectively the same as color would, since the association is the location of the lane (1 through 5) to the symbol (previously color).

The one caveat left is the line itself, however I think for the case of Deadlock it's actually pretty simple, it just risks being very visually busy. Each Diamond at the minimap could just have the symbol instead.

I don't know how recent this mini-map is but each Diamond being the Symbol, for example. I do think each lane being grey wouldn't be great, so maybe make it black/dark when empty and white when player is nearby? Similar to how it currently does it with how far you push and the lanes color.

I think there's something to be said about completing some games on yard difficulties, and Fire Emblem falls in that category. The category is puzzle games that require insane tactical strategy.

A lot of unit based RPG's function this way, and they do a really good job a lot of the time. But that is just one way to play the game, and quite frankly grinding through levels to "properly" beat a certain difficulty is certainly a better option for the majority of players.

There is something unique about finally completing a damning level, but it's only something that is there if the player has the drive to get that fulfillment.

I wouldn't say you have big dum, more likely you just value your time and the engagement of the game is more rewarding on lower difficulty, due to the element that is driving you to play the game. That is to say, it's aspects of the gameplay and the story that keeps you coming back, not necessarily the insane strategic plays needed to beat a hard level.

Both are completely valid forms of gameplay, the hardest difficulty is often min-maxxed and tends to account for a small section of players, and is probably included partly for replayability.

I'm for it, what alternative are we using? Bot/mid/top works for 3 lane games because names of lanes on maps is more convoluted than a symbol, like color or shape. For example, in any game ever that uses names (even like Paladins where it has the name at the top visible of where in the map you are) I am completely useless if you tell me Broken Ridge and expect me to know which of the 5 areas of the map that could be.

I feel that is why color is so relied on, since it's a clear (note: contrasting) visual indicator. I like the idea of using symbols though, but there would have to be a lot of good design choices to have each shape be visually distinct with a simple name without using color identifiers. I'm almost certain that's the main reason colors are so prevalent, because they are fairly distinct and generally are monosyllabic making them easy call outs. But you're definitely right that they aren't ubiquitous, and so it would be cool to have good alternatives.

Hm, maybe I should buy stocks in dog fashion afterall...

On the other hand, Mozilla has ~750 employees all of whom are working on different projects at different times.

Their AI work is likely not preventing their development of other projects. Especially considering they are hiring for positions related to AI, I would imagine that current employee's aren't just filling in the gaps in the meantime, but are independent from each others departments.

You have to scroll up some, it goes that far over because of the word wormhole
