I just want to say I transitioned over to Dockhand and I’m glad I did! Thanks again for the recommendation!

The article said they were existing publications that had a regular readership before they were replaced with slop

This is depressing, thankfully I have never even heard of any of their listed publications.

This has been true for a few years now, but indie studios have been making far more interesting games than the big studios. Add to that the fact that big AAA projects need to tack on tons and tons of money-making add-ons that degrade the experience in order to justify the cost of a decade of development, and the industry seems to actually be trending towards the artistry and innovation you mentioned.

Honestly I don’t remember ever hearing anyone mention Transistor since it released either. Hades definitely proved that they aren’t one hit wonders.

I am a patient gamer™ to the max but if you’re going to pay a higher price for any game this year, this is the one IMO.

Besides that, my only complaint with this game (and it is minor) is that I just can’t stand the UE5 slop anymore. I think Expedition 33 did possibly the best job I’ve ever seen with engine (the weird, amorphous detailed-but-generic textures didn’t detract as much as they usually do because of whole the painting-like aspect) but with everything else, like gameplay and story as strong as it was I would have preferred anything, even a low-res low-poly look.

why are you so confrontational lmao I don’t interrogate your tastes

Looks awesome thanks for sharing

This is exactly what I was curious about, I’d never heard of these. Thanks!

Guess I’m not True Gamer™ enough for you sorry!

Lmao imagine asking someone on Lemmy if they like trains OF COURSE I LIKE TRAINS GREAT RECOMMENDATION

One of the few times I played around with VR was a racing game and it was awesome, but I’m not a big racing games person so my concern is that the $1200 headset would not add much value beyond the quick thrill of adding VR to a few games

Oh I would 100% get that one but also I’m not looking to spend $1k purely on VR novelty games

As someone who has never played with VR much but would consider a Steam Frame in the future what kind of things do you enjoy it with?

What are you paying for 800gb?

I’m not against LLM generated code in FOSS but it’s nice to see a dev holding the line. There are a million distros to choose from, at least one needs to be 100% certified meat.

LLMs can quickly produce outputs that can fool people into thinking a human wrote it, but they cannot write “good” code for the same reason they cannot write good prose, and that’s because they have no understanding of what the code means. The only thing they are rewarded with in training is “are humans able to tell that this thing wasn’t made by a human?” and if the answer is “no” it gets it’s digital training cookie. That’s all LLMs “know”.

So getting back to your question, there is no reason LLMs can’t be used to assist a programmer, or even one day quickly create bespoke software for single use/short term purposes. But a project being FOSS kind of definitionally implies collaboration to ensure reliability which is very difficult when LLMs are used, since again, they don’t have an understanding of what specific code actually means.

IMO anyone ascribing ethics or morals to LLMs (not its use but the technology itself), even in a negative light is grossly exaggerating their capabilities, often unintentionally. LLMs do not have will, they cannot develop a will. They are not curious, they cannot become curious, they cannot understand the world. They do not understand English or Javascript.

You know more than me

Look into NGINX Proxy manager and DuckDNS
