    Final Fantasy 16

    I'm like an hour past the end of the demo in terms of overall progression (spent quite a bit of time reading the lore on the 'x-ray mode' screen plus the library you find. The gameplay so far is 'meh' at best.

    Final Fantasy 16

    Ive never had an issue with motion blur before, but in this game it's making me sick. I actually have to look away from the screen every few minutes or risk getting dizzy. Maybe it's the motion blur combined with the relatively close-follow camera and low FOV? I can't be sure, but it is...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I figured it was just to further illustrate that Inarius does not give a fuck about his church / followers. They exist solely as cannon fodder for his invasion of Hell and thus he put zero effort into further development or filling the pipeline when it became clear that the end was nigh. The...

    Final Fantasy 16

    Well I wasn't going to get it, but then I played the 'demo' (aka the first few hours of the game) and now I'm invested in the plot.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Because I'm hanging with people who tend to be completists I'm level 51 and still haven't started the story mission for Act III lol. It IS a great time to hang out with your friends, however, so I'm okay with this.

    Disney's Lorcana (trading card game)

    Yeah that will be an interesting case. The law tends to navigate issues like this very poorly.

    Are we entirely certain that Blizzard made this? Who are these developers and where have they been hiding them?

    System Shock Remake + 3?!?!?

    Has anyone grabbed this? We seem to be in the usual cycle of 'feast or famine' with game releases. 5 decades of game releases and they still can't manage to space them out in a way that doesn't crowd the market.

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    Im at 13 hearts 2 full stamina circles and seeing words on the past page like 'Armor Upgrade' and 'Autobuild' makes me realize I've been a fool.

    https://www.startrek-resurgence.com/ This is out now, made by former TellTale devs apparently. Seems to have decent reviews? Anyone try it yet?

    Ray Stevenson dead at the age of 58 (Rome, Black Sails, Punisher)

    Jeez. Must have been a heart attack or something, he'd been very busy of late.

    The D&D thread

    Here's the meta-prompt for GPT-4 spoilered for size: It has to be GPT-4, if you use 3.5 it doesn't say "yes" as directed at the end of the meta prompt and it doesn't work. Once you have done that you can just tell it what you want : "Generate a prompt for me for a ..." its usually good to...

    Since OW2 PVP is just OW1 with slight tweaks...what the hell have they been doing for the last several years?

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    The battery upgrades feel slow as you have to take zonanite to a forge to exchange for crystal charges and then crystal charges are exchanged for the battery upgrade. I have tons of zonanite, but the forge guy on the Sky Islands only makes 10 at a time (ingame day?). I'm guessing there are...

    Chat GPT AI

    I work in educational publishing / digital course materials and this is an absolute game-changer. I do not say this lightly. Within the past 24 hours I was able to take a .pdf of a chapter of a Modern Physics textbook and have ChatGPT-4 (low temp) create a full Solution and Answer Guide for...

    Doctor Who

    They are being very coy about it. Since we know the 15th doctor will have an Xmas episode as his debut that points to the 60th anniversary itself being possibly the final of the three. So probably three dates in Oct / Nov?

    Silo

    I kinda hope they use this opportunity to retool some of the aspects of the overarching story. The author self-published these books and was in dire need of an editor to control some of the more 'meh' aspects.

    Silo

    Its been awhile since I read the books, but I think there actually are redundancies like that but because they are living in the 'dark ages' they just don't know what they all are/where the controls are. Since they have never shut the generator off in their recorded history its all a mystery and...

    The D&D thread

    AI image generators have been sooo useful when trying to make adventure content. I followed a recommendation about using ChatGPT to compose the MidJourney prompts and ended up with some very nice renders of the party (this was our Dragon Heist crew) Drunken Master Monk -- Divination Wizard...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    In the past game balance for abilities and encounter difficulties was done by autistic nerds who created massive monte carlo simulations that took in a plethora of factors to simulate outcomes. I think now they just have some rando making sweeping changes based on their emotions.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    After they release Cata Classic so they then spin up World of Warcraft Classic Classic? But this time go full old school and start in Alpha testing with only one race at a time playable.

    Redfall (Vampires, Open World Co-Op Shooter)

    Can confirm that everything in this world explodes. I almost wanna play it with my one buddy who perpetually thinks shooting explosives next to me is the funniest thing imaginable just to hear him jizz all over himself at the carnage possible in this mess.

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    Well they weren't purple originally... they were completely black. There's also the issue where 'dark' = 'evil' to contend with. As people who were completely underground and couldn't stand to be in the sun at all the Drow should have been completely albino in nature --- but that's not the...

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    I never played past the first hour or so of BOTW because of the durability situation. It has a direct analog to the pile of 'consumables' I finish every RPG with. I do not like using one-time resources in a game like this. The Horizon series did it the absolute best -- you needed to craft the...

    Silo

    I was getting serious deja-vu vibes the whole of the first episode... until I realized that I had read Wool back in 2020 when it popped up as a recommendation on my Kindle mid-pandemic. The crazy thing is that I had first been looking for a video or a movie as the mental images were so crystal...

    Star Wars: Visions

    I saw an interview that for a few of these studios this project represented 'keeping the lights on' revenue for them. Providing them with both a certain measure of budget and stability as well as allowing them a way to more fully showcase what they could do versus just 'gig work' where they had...

    Redfall (Vampires, Open World Co-Op Shooter)

    Apparently there is an entire progression system that is baked into co-op play which tracks how you synergize with your buddies? Apparently the NPC AI makes more sense in co-op as well in terms of character focus and such. I'd try this out but I don't think I'll be able to pull my buddy away...

    Star Wars: Visions

    Well the focus this season was on recruiting a wide variety of international animation studios so it's natural that there would be greater diversity. They also said they applied little to no editorial oversight for the different Visions so it's probably just coincidence that so many are...

    Star Wars: Visions

    Just watched "Sith" and the animation style used is just plain stunning. Somehow its both minimalistic and simultaneously rich with detail. Similarly B2 is adorable and badass in a way that highlights the protagonists own duality of illumination and darkness.
