Good day for laundry! Otherwise, staying sheltered indoors.

We’re lucky enough to have aircon upstairs if things get too spicy, but just keeping the curtains drawn and the windows closed is working for now.

Because YouTube thumbnails are designed to generate clicks and engagement (including this conversation right here!), not to be correct or informative.

This has nothing to do with SKG.

The games aren’t being disabled, they’re being pulled from sale due to a legal/rights dispute. That’s not what SKG is about.

Very interesting - and charmingly presented with the little demonstrations!

Interesting! I wonder if it’s in any way linked to the word ‘doobie’?

‘Up to 85%’ is a meaningless figure

Sadly(?) I don’t think it was actually made with FrontPage 98 - the source is far too neat and clean!!

‘Can’t wait’ for the inevitable controversy when the official government chat bot tells someone to do something illegal, or gives dangerous advice leading to a death.

There’s more than one argument against generative AI being used in games, and they don’t all apply to proc gen content. It’s an apples to oranges comparison in most cases.

From the article:

Danilov posited that the mistake was either the work of a “careless translator taking shortcuts”, or it was “done by someone on the dev/publisher side who couldn’t be arsed sending last-minute missing lines for translation and decided to throw them in a random LLM without oversight”.

Handong Ryu, who handled the Korean translation for the game, replied: "I was responsible for translating the vast majority of the Korean version of The Alters. Unfortunately, the same issue exists in the Korean version as well, which makes it more likely that the second scenario you mentioned is closer to the truth.

Sounds like this text was either added late in development or simply overlooked until after the last set of translation work had been completed, so the devs decided to let an LLM do it rather than getting billed for another batch of localisation.

Very dumb, especially as this puts them in direct violation of the Steam AI disclosure policy, but given the context I guess they figured no one would notice.

So this will affect Reddit and Lemmy too, presumably?

Have you tried Blue Prince?

the programme, aimed at 7–14 year olds, is “designed to spark wonder for science and the future of energy”. It includes a game, in which players attempt to build a city that survives until the year 2050, and in-school education materials to “showcase how modern cities use energy resources and the ways the energy transition can be managed”

Congrats on missing the point and making it about yourself instead

Fun! Only thing that sticks out to me is that three 5¼-inch drives seems excessive. Would’ve been nice to have at least one of them be a 3½-inch instead, but that’s just a nitpick.

(I’m assuming they’re just blank fascia plates either way.)

Right? If it still works then it still works.

If the article was talking about anything other than tech/software, we’d be praising its longevity.

I really enjoy Amanita Designs other games (Samorost, Botanicula, CHUCHEL) but somehow completely missed this one??!

I’ve been wrapping up my first ever proper playthrough of Dragon Age: Origins (and Awakening).

I bounced off it hard back in the day, but this time around I’ve been really loving it! Looking forward to continuing through the series in the future.

Why is there a button to unmute this comic strip?

A rare, levelheaded take.

The changes are fine. Nothing earth shattering, nothing wildly or fundamentally broken, just a visual update to better fit with Google’s new material design language.
