You can buy the game on ebay for cheap, if you have a working VCR and can wait for it to ship from Australia.

Ha! That went right over my head. Thanks for explaining.

Like I said, I help design them. I’m interested to know why you think that. You work with them? How old are the ones you work with?

Big iron means a mainframe. The Ferrari of servers.

I design big iron. The hardware is great, don’t blame us.

Yeah, every time I hear something like that I giggle. AI might replace us one day, but it’s no where near good enough yet.

Never did. It’s just more and more obvious with each new “feature” that it’s built for monetization, not for user functionality.

I love Obra Dinn, but not top 10 love. I think the fresh style in an industry of samey games using the same few engines made it really stand out for me. It’s retro styled, but also goes beyond that to show you it’s world in a new way.

If the art style doesn’t do it for you then you might not enjoy it as much.

I think it’s that, and something even worse as well. There are probably many well meaning people working on these things thinking they really are creating and guiding and intelligence. It’s an opportunity to feel like a god and a tech wizard at the same time.

Similar number of neurons too.

The Chinese Room thought experiment is a good place to start the conversation. AI isn’t intelligent, and it doesn’t hallucinate. Its not sentient. It’s just a computer program.

People need to stop using personifying language for this stuff.

Casuals unite! Fuck it I’m just trying to have fun lol!

Hmm I was thinking maybe an old phone but that’s not that old.

Try charging while connecting. I’ve found that a low battery often seems like poor connection quality. The way it gives up when it can’t connect is very similar to just the battery dying.

What phone do you have?

How so? It disconnects? Or won’t connect to start?

I use an 8bitdo sn30 pro. Apparently I haven’t been using a good controller. Fooled me!

Having worked for a couple chip design shops, and now at ibm… ibm is the one of a few companies pushing the envelope in chip design. You just don’t need what they make, so you’ve never heard of it.

There really isn’t. Each group has a wider pay rate than maybe is implied, but functionally, there isn’t a role in capitalism between them. Wealthy people want us to think there is a wide range of classes so we argue with each other instead of cooperating against them.
