I Had a jumpscare when I just opened Lemmy and saw the darker background. It looks nice though, thank you for the updates! This much time since the last update and Alexandrite is still the best front-end out there.

20 mil isn’t that much, but this is good news. Hopefully this sets a precedent for other manipulative gacha games.

I watched season 1 and was similarly disappointed, didn’t feel like watching more of it. Nice to get confirmation it doesn’t get better.

Wow, theyre just dropping these characters into the game? I thought they were a ways off, especially magician (now sinclair). Nice to see some more variety.

It’s because you can actually have discussions on Lemmy, whereas microblogging like mastodon is just “old man shouts at cloud” multiplied by 2 million people. I never understood the appeal.

Bluepoint, the developer that remakes old games and has never made an original one before, were tasked with making a live service game? Wow.

I didn’t read it obviously, but just because it’s ironic doesn’t make it not clickbait.

1 hour since reveal and we’re already getting stupid takes

Much like the rest of the announcement, the specs actually got leaked a few days earlier: https://thegamepost.com/nintendo-switch-2-full-specs-appears-to-have-leaked/

TL;DR: 12GB of RAM, GPU that’s roughly on par with the Steam Deck. It’s not the most powerful handheld out there but surprisingly not bad for Nintendo standards.

On the bright side it confirms backwards compatibility which is big.

It puts all discussion about it in one community so people who aren’t interested could block it.

Quick, everyone, act surprised!

Just because it happens on Twitter doesn’t make it tech related.

Sadly doesn’t work on Firefox :^(

They’ve already sent out their army of lawyers to silently dispose of leakers.

Great game. It’s the only card game that stood toe-to-toe with Slay the Spire. I recommend playing without the DLC for at least the first 10 hours or so, because it makes wild balance changes that are still controversial and introduces a true final boss which is way too hard for most players.

The suspense is killing me, we need to know what happens next. Keep posting OP

People keep meaning different things when they say “Generative AI”. Do you mean the tech in general, or the corporate AI that companies overhype and try to sell to everyone?

The tech itself is pretty cool. GenAI is already being used for quick subtitling and translating any form of media quickly. Image AI is really good at upscaling low-res images and making them clearer by filling in the gaps. Chatbots are fallible but they’re still really good for specific things like generating testing data or quickly helping you in basic tasks that might have you searching for 5 minutes. AI is huge in video games for upscaling tech like DLSS which can boost performance by running the game at a low resolution then upscaling it, the result is genuinely great. It’s also used to de-noise raytracing and show cleaner reflections.

Also people are missing the point on why AI is being invested in so much. No, I don’t think “AGI” is coming any time soon, but the reason they’re sucking in so much money is because of what it could be in 5 years. Saying AI is a waste of effort is like saying 3D video games are a waste of time because they looked bad in 1995. It will improve.

“Don’t feed the troll” is literally one of the most basic internet concepts and yet 99% of people fall for it. Everyone is high fiving about how good Mastodon is, but when I visited their explore tab I was greeted with people taking screenshots of every Elon Musk post and crying over it. They cannot stop falling for bait.

Every algorithm is just sorting. Facebook sorts which posts should be shown on top and which should be pushed down. Posts that have a bad rank aren’t shown to many people - and eventually - none at all.
