the Trump regime can use Claude to decide which schoolchildren to bomb
Not true in the slightest. Trump can’t use Claude to decide which schoolchildren he can bomb.
He can use ChatGPT to decide which schoolchildren he can bomb.
(Anthropic was taken out back for saying they only wanted to identify which schoolchildren are there and not tell them which ones to bomb.)
Windows has supported Xbox controllers for many years now, and even decades ago I was playing games off a floppy disk using a gamepad.
The optimizations were worthless because Windows is the problem and focusing on gaming won’t solve the underlying issues with the OS or the high-level issues with its direction.
As opposed to where? India? China?
Companies in the US aren’t the only ones pushing AI.
Sounds like a nice deal. Every job posting I’ve seen here comes from a company that wants you to use an LLM.
Am software engineer. Am required by work to use it lest they lose their ungodly investment into a tool that wastes as much time as it does money.
Do you want to? Go for it.
Does your game crawl? Have you identified this code as the bottleneck? Are you certain that asm will give you a meaningful performance increase, and that your issue doesn’t lie with your approach to the problem? Sure, I guess. You said your game runs fine though, so this probably doesn’t apply.
Is your game fast already? If you don’t want to do it, don’t.
Writing asm by hand is almost always a waste of time. There are only a few times where it’s actually necessary, and unless you’re writing a bootloader and running your game on bare metal, I can’t imagine why it’d be necessary. But you know your code better than anyone else here, so you should know whether it’s needed or not more than any of us do.
To begin with, you’re apparently targeting the Z80, which I haven’t seen used for games in the wild… probably in my entire life? Maybe an arcade machine I played on once used it, but I can’t think of any other times. If your targets need custom assembly, then you should already know that. We don’t know your targets.
If you just want to play a fun game, wait until it’s more complete. Game is so WIP that the whole world gen is expected to change soon (to their “V2” world gen) which might break old saves. There’s very little content beyond the generated structures and terrain and some decorative blocks. Even the current “endgame” can take just a few hours to reach, and there isn’t much there.
Looks like mostly SteamOS users, which isn’t too surprising. Hopefully we can see that number go up over time as people get sick of Windows.
Slightly off topic, but it looks like they reopened the forums!
JavaScript? C# is a statically typed, compiled language.
Considering MG is a continuation of XNA Framework, it’s kind of a given it’s C#. And for languages that were popular when XNA came out, C# is one of the nicest to work in these days.
Yeah that particular issue doesn’t bother me much anyway, just delays startup by a second or two.
For the past month or so, I’ve been getting “RDSEED32 is broken” and it seems to be an issue with AMD’s drivers? Either way, there doesn’t appear to be a solution for me outside of getting a new CPU, but it also still boots and works so I’m not too bothered by it either.
But when updates roll around? Yeah, usually a good idea to make a backup before updating. Same is true with Windows, of course, but I already expect Windows to need a reinstall every year or so.
Ever since they bumped the min-spec Mac Mini to 16GB RAM, it has looked like such a great deal. The upgrades are still way too expensive (except RAM now I guess?) but base model is great.
Proper multi-level tooltips can do far more to teach the user in 4X and grand strategy games than a chatbot can. It’s pretty much how I learned to play AoW4.
Magic has less staying power than Pokémon.
Nobody even plays the Pokemon TCG. Well, I guess a couple dozen people might, but that’s about it.
The video games are basically the same game repackaged over and over again. No disrespect to people who like Pokemon of course, but the Pokemon Company could do a lot more than they do now. But it has stuck around because people really like the brand for some reason.
MTG, on the other hand, is shitting itself currently, but the core gameplay has evolved over 30+ years into the framework for a very detailed game with countless possible interactions. There are dozens of actively played formats for the game, and despite WOTC’s best attempts, will not be dying anytime soon.
E33 is not even in the same category as those games. To begin with, it’s a single game, not a whole franchise. It seems a bit unfair to compare it to those games in terms of staying power. Regarding gameplay, E33 is far more interesting than Pokemon. It doesn’t have the same depth as MTG or D&D, but MTG’s comprehensive rules is a PDF with around 300 pages, and D&D has entire rulebooks. E33 is far easier for people to learn than those two games as a result.
Chess, uh, is not a very popular game. People play it of course, but it stuck around because of its history. Also, the demographic of people playing video games regularly and classic board games regularly doesn’t have a huge amount of overlap.
The main appeal of the LCD one was you could get the cheapest Steam Deck, then swap out the hard drive for a 1TB+ drive. The total cost was super cheap, far less than a Switch 2 anyway.
It sucks to see it gone, but the whole economy around tech is fucked, so I guess it’s another casualty.
Roskomnadzor claims Roblox contains content that will have a “negative impact on the spiritual and moral development of underage users.”
Remove the “spiritual and moral” part of this and I’d agree 100% with them lol.
Anyway, rare win for Roblox I guess.
As someone who owns my home (a moderately small 2-bedroom condo), I have tens of thousands of dollars worth of work to do to it that I really don’t want to do. Nobody is going to do it for me.
Sometimes I wish I was renting ngl, but rent would be even higher than my mortgage for the same sized place.
This contradicts, unsurprisingly, Trump telling Anthropic to go fuck itself and the subsequent deal with OpenAI.
In any case, my comment was being made in jest because Trump’s admin is no stranger to violating policies, procedures, laws, and human rights.
