But this is bad news for game jams. Participants are not really trustworthy and those who do not build for HTML5 should not be evaluated.

So a win-win situation?

Looks like the drawing of Tsukasa from Dr. Stone landed another role

Dear Anne,

this is your 8th birthday…

Not huffing anything, strict non smoker here. I’m just working in a non games tech area and can see, how two ML OPs developers do the work of 10 engineers. Work that those engineers never wanted to do in the first place that took up the vast majority of their time and prevented them from doing their actual work, preventing catastrophic failures of large industrial factories.

We totally agree on AI writing but there is way more than this to AI.

And “AI bad” is en Par with “ThAt’s sOciaLiSm”. I’d rather reap the benefits and manage and regulate the risks of a new technology than to condemn it completely because I don’t like certain parts of it

The first game I saw with advanced logic was Far Cry 3. The devs would simulate how tree spread, die and wither and then let this run for hundreds of generations. Then they would alter the forest to fit in buildings und other stuff

So back when we were waiting for Guild Wars 2 to release, a youtuber named WoodenPotatoes was invited to Arenanet to review the progress. He noticed in his videos that he saw several devs working on animations that were really not that important but would be immediately be noticed missing. His example was drawing and stowing weapons. With 5 races am a good dozen weapons this took an incredible amount of time. Now imagine that you can train an AI to do this and only have animators polish the result. A lot of time saved for more important stuff.

You think a game has not enough models or all the faces look alike? Not enough hair? Let an AI take care of that and have designers polish the result.

The forest doesn’t look organic and too constructed? Have an AI naturally grow the forest. Wait, there are plenty of games already doing that. When CEOs talk about speeding up game development they don’t mean to push out generic games fully developed by AI (well some might mean that) but to tackle the aspect of game development that slow the entire process down but not adding quality.

Given that Starfield took what? 8 years to development and resulted in a (according to the internet pretty bad) generic aged science fiction RPG. I’d prefer some AI supported development when the overall quality increases and AAA game development is not longer a decade long project.

There is plenty of bad things to say about AI but it does offer improvements.

Today, I scheduled the first one shot using DC20 rules. If it plays as good as it reads I’ll convert completely. CEO decisions should not have any impact on my private entertainment

Spoken like a true populists. It’s not about the content of the policy but how they are made, only that they’re made like they are in every member state, usually enjoy a vast support in every country and create a benefit for the people. See USB-C rules. If the opposition is only how those policies and laws are made, the critic is not substantial. In every country sone rural voters influence the life of city people and vice versa. It’s the same with the EU, just bigger. Please tell me what people actually reject. This was not supposed to be a got ya question. If the only criticism is the order of the union then it’s not the policies fault but rather how populists speak about it

What EU policies do you have in mind that are bothersome to populists?

Ich find’s unangemessen hart. Am Ende bin ich derjenige, der höhere Kosten für ein Ticket hat was für mich ja soweit OK ist, aber damit fällt meine Weihnachtsfeier für mich flach.

Wenn warngestreikt werden soll, sollen sie ein paar Stunden machen, dass mindestens eine, besser zwei Wochen vorher ankündigen oder am besten den Güterverkehr bestreiten, nicht den Personenverkehr. Sollen sie streiken wie die Busfahrer in Japan, einfach keine Tickets mehr kontrollieren und kein Geld kassieren. Das tut dem Arbeitgeber weh, wenn man es richtig macht. Dieses aggressive Vorgehen gegen Passagiere in der Weihnachtszeit erhöht bei mir nicht den Druck auf die Bahn, sondern unsympatisiert die GDL. Mal ehrlich, glaubt ihr die Bahn Oberbonzen interessiert das einen Dreck, ob wir Zug fahren können? Im ÖPNV hat eh jeder ein Abo oder Deutschlandticket.

Da habe ich meine ganze Verkehrsorganisation auf den ÖPV ausgelegt und so wird es mir gedankt. Ich kann den Bahnmitarbeitern kein Angebot machen.

I’ll see kein i

You can persist the session and use the link to it on the invite I think. The link is not protected however, anyone can use it but that never was an issue.

Check jitsi meet (meet.jit.si) It is a free service based on an open source framework and runs fine in a browser. I don’t know of it can handle 32 but during the pandemic it was used for online classes.
