Yeah, AI was ok, but have you tried AII?

Paradachshund ,

Yeah, these tools would be a lot better if they could say “I don’t know” more.

Paradachshund ,

After watching the new dune movie I got inspired to play through a campaign on Dune: Spice Wars. So probably that!

Paradachshund ,

I think that last part is the goal

Is there any significance to people using emojis that match their skin tone?

I’m asking because as a light-skinned male, I always use the standard Simpsons yellow. I don’t really see other light-skinned people using an emoji that matches their skin tone, but often do see people of color use them. Maybe white people don’t naturally realize a need to be explicit with emoji skin-tone or perhaps it’s...

Paradachshund ,

I can give you a real answer, because I asked my wife this exact question (she’s black and uses the skin tone closest to hers, I’m white and also just use yellow ones). She said it’s so rare to get to choose a digital representation that matches her skin tone that she just thinks it’s fun to get to do it for once.

Are you my cat?

Paradachshund ,

It felt like they wanted to focus on features more in this one. There was a lot to unpack I think for those who like to go through and theory craft.

I do agree that the ones you mention were much better cinematically though.

Paradachshund ,

I’m curious, what kind of niches do you see unfilled still? I already felt like some of the gen 3 specs were reaching a bit.

Paradachshund ,

Those all seem like good ones to me, too. Honestly the defensive juggernaut thing doesn’t really exist period in GW2, so I guess it’s by design. At least not compared to other RPGs. Everyone is quite squishy.

You’ve made me realize that a mesmer fantasy I miss from GW1 is a domination magic mesmer. Something that heavily punishes certain types of gameplay and doesn’t do the illusion thing. Is that what you were getting at with the mesmer part?

I wonder if they would ever consider adding new specs to only some classes instead of all at once. On one hand people would definitely rage and whine, but I could imagine that making for much better designed specs over time.

Paradachshund ,

Oddly specific 🤔

Paradachshund ,

Definitely check out the myst remake, as it has modern movement available (and it’s gorgeous). These two games are basically puzzle game masterpieces and remembered so fondly for a reason. Hope you enjoy them. 🙂

Paradachshund ,

Wow I was just saying I would love to see a remaster of this!

Paradachshund OP ,

I think that’s a fair interpretation though I definitely feel differently. I guess for me not the onion on Reddit was something I looked to for comedy, and so far the Lemmy version has been mostly depressing. That’s why I think it may just not be my cup of tea over here anymore.

Paradachshund OP ,

Personally I think the upvote/downvote thing breaks down in a world with an all feed. Many people don’t check what community something is coming from, which is why moderation is another important factor.

If other people like how it is now that’s fine, it just isn’t for me.

Paradachshund OP ,

I appreciate the response! My goal isn’t to throw you or anyone else under the bus either, just trying to gauge whether I misunderstood what the community was for. I know moderation is a lot of work so I appreciate the effort and understand it won’t always be perfect.

Paradachshund OP ,

Thanks for the heads up! Joined.

Paradachshund ,

I’m a designer and there’s some truth to this. Sometimes it’s a great new partnership, but sometimes it’s too many cooks in the kitchen if there’s no clear vision holder.

Paradachshund ,

What does someone have to do to prove to youtube they own it?

Paradachshund ,

Hedgehogs actually are quite fast!

Paradachshund ,

Mobile games make more money than the entire rest of the gaming sector combined.

Paradachshund ,

I’ve seen so many of these I don’t remember what the original “flag” was anymore.

Paradachshund ,

Wow 80?? That’s awful.

Paradachshund ,

I don’t mean to diminish the issue at hand, but I don’t think this community was meant for this type of post. There’s nothing satirical-sounding about this, it’s just more depressing news and not what I joined this community to see. The entire All feed is doom scroll pretty much, we don’t need it bleeding into the few communities not dedicated to it.

If others disagree, feel free to chime in. This community may just not be what I thought it was for.

Paradachshund ,

I come from the Pacific Northwest in the US and people around here have a pretty utopian vision of the Nordic countries. I’m sorry to hear you’ve got a bunch of greedy fuckers in charge, too. 😔

Paradachshund ,

Well thank you for expanding my understanding a little further.

Paradachshund ,

Sure! Here’s a couple:

Probably not like Iceland as much landscape-wise, but I’ve been told by people from Sweden and Norway that they felt super at home up here. There’s a very large Nordic influence in this region from the early settler days, so the climate and attitude I’ve heard is quite familiar to people visiting.

Here’s another one: the area where I live has some of the best oysters in the world and they get sent as far away as Japan because of how good they are.

Paradachshund ,

I believe that’s called perfectionism and imposter syndrome. Just remember it’s a story in your head and don’t give it more credence than it deserves.

Paradachshund ,

“Damn, look at the tail on that one!”

Paradachshund ,

Is this the same kind of fungus as the black fungus in Chinese cooking? Looks really similar.

Paradachshund ,

I really like the Chinese version so I’m sure I would like this too. I don’t think you need to be guilty about trying it

The Indie Chat & Recommendation Thread (cdn.imgchest.com)

“Inspired” by the Square-Enix putting their foot in their mouth thread, I thought it’d be interesting to make a little thread about indie games. People always talk about wanting to try different, cheaper titles, but with how hard it is to get good gaming news and the state of advertisement/marketing, word of mouth tends to...

Paradachshund ,

Would there be any interest (or does it already exist) for a community dedicated to indie shoutouts? I picture somewhere specifically for fans and devs to call attention to good games without marketing budgets or their own work in the case of devs.

Paradachshund ,

Tech is ravenously trying to convince the world they need AI for every aspect of their business. Tech wants you to think LLMs are infallible and they strongly imply that they are even if the fine print says otherwise. So personally I would say tech is very much part of the problem. One could say they are the root of the problem in fact.

Paradachshund ,

I think you’re bang on with that. My bad.

Paradachshund ,

…said no one ever.

Paradachshund ,

I’ve heard that for some non-english speakers who don’t know what it means, diarrhea is one of the most beautiful sounding words in English.

Paradachshund ,

They claim it all runs locally. Anyone want to turn the Internet off and call their bluff?

Paradachshund ,

There’s been ads in Google for over a decade now.

Paradachshund ,

Free stuff facebook groups have entered the chat

Paradachshund ,

Cats when they hear the treat bag

Paradachshund ,

Crossstitch it, put it on the wall

Paradachshund ,

This is great if you can do it, but saying it’s simple is a bit of a stretch.

Paradachshund ,

I’m not autistic and I feel the same way. It makes me sad to throw something away if it’s still got some use in it.

Paradachshund ,

No it’s definitely empathy. I feel bad for the object if it’s been discarded before it’s time (and even when it is time sometimes if it’s something I’ve had for a while)

Paradachshund ,

Michael Bennett comes to mind.

Paradachshund ,

Everyone in here saying this or that salt is better… You can use more than one kind y’all, it’s not a competition.

Paradachshund ,

Thanks for the ramble!
