That’s the soundtrack for the game. Not the game itself.

There is nothing in this world at this moment that would make me happier than digging through that box, reading old ACTUAL paper game manuals, and falling back into my early 20s when gaming still felt magical.

I tend to think that the pro AI people are of a younger generation, because if they were closer to Gen X, they’d be feeling betrayed rather than excited.

Gen X and Millenials built the internet. We populated it with our forums, our blogs, our facbook profiles. We were the first ones sharing our photos, our very lives, with all of our friends and family. We created what it would become and we trusted that it was a community resource. Then along comes a couple of billionaires, they suck up everything that you have built and then have the balls to charge you an entry fee!

It’s like if you and your neighbourhood all got together and decided to build a playground for your kids, and when it’s done, some asshole asks the city for the right to the land and puts a toll booth up.

More than any other concern, THAT betrayal is what pisses me off the most. How fucking dare they say that I have to pay to access a system that was built on community content. They can fuck themselves sideways with a rusty sledge hammer.

Using AI to double check your code is very different from using AI to replace your skilled creative talent on a motion picture. It’s not even an accurate comparison… GL isn’t talking about coding, he’s talking about visual effects, writers, even actors…all of whom who’s careers are at risk.

You want to use AI to make sure you didn’t miss a semicolon at the end of a line, great…knock yourself out. But that has literally nothing in common with what Lucas is blathering about here.

Of course he did. He loves updating his classics every time some “new technology” comes along to let his freak-flag fly.

We’ll be seeing a re-re-re-re-release of A New Hope shortly where he uses an AI generated Boba Fett and Solo giving them a scene or two to develop a backstory.

100%. I’ve been saying it for years that at the end of the day, the only punishment that actually works is the public shaming.

Bring back the public perp walks. March the criminal through the streets with a big banner announcing their crime, and then leave them them in a public cell in the middle of town for a few days with their name on it, their crime, and no privacy so that people can come and see them.

A few days of that will do more to cure recidivism than any jail you can name.

And they should be.

So so many graves to piss on.

I remember not liking it nearly as much

Same here. I know that 9 gets a LOT of love, but I’ve just never gotten it. Didn’t hate it. Didn’t love it.

I wouldn’t say it got so much wrong.

Everything except the overpowered draw mechanic was pretty amazing, in my opinion. And that could be countered by just choosing not to cheese it.

Easily my favourite of the PSX era trio (although 7 is of course classic)

Also wish I had installed OnlyOffice to see if it might have matched the “feel” of Excel better before giving MS money.

It’s shockingly similar in a lot of ways. Just barely different enough to not get sued, I’d imagine.

Sadly I have to agree. Being able to take my excel work home with me, where I use Linux exclusively, is the sole reason that I’m forced to use OnlyOffice vs LibreOffice. It has better compatibility with Excel by a WIDE margin.

That being said, I don’t have the issue with OnlyOffice that others seem to have. It’s desktop app is still OpenSource, it’s just the online bits and collaboration stuff that isn’t. But I’d still rather go with a non-profit like the Document Foundation than a for profit company any day of the week.

Nope, just a random thought that came into my head while I was showering.

Holy shit that would legitimately be amazing.

Its a shame they didn’t succeed.

The OG Playstation had, by far, the biggest collection of games that I consider my favourites.

Weren’t expecting what?

Choice?…A succulent collection of choice?

Wouldn’t it be amazing just to watch the aneurysms erupt among the GOP, though? Even if he entered with no intention of even winning the nomination, just announcing that he was considering it would create so many exploding heads on the right that it would be fantastic.

What’s to stop them from just going a generation back and using DDR4 instead of DDR5.

There is no one who can convince me that it makes any noticeable difference anyway. When I was putting together a new/used desktop I specifically looked for DDR4 for precisely that reason and I would take any bet that a performance hit would be measured in numbers too small for any user to even notice.

Constantly needing newer hardware with only fractional improvements is the biggest scam in tech. They took their lesson from Apple and Samsung.

This is what happens when you have one side that sits back and plays some machiavellian chess, and another side that shits on a checker board and makes everyone roll around in it.

China is far from an honest actor, so don’t think I’m saying this as a compliment. But China knows when to shut up, sit back, and let the other guy fuck themselves over.
