Man, I’d forgotten how much I hated the Spacers Choice edition! They turned on all the FX but honestly it just makes the environment look cluttered. And stuff like the volumetric lighting wasn’t really the improvement they thought it was, IMO. And the character models! I’d forgotten how much the lighting changes messed up the textures and face models for the characters.

I believe Spacer’s Choice edition was put out by the game’s publisher (the original Outer Worlds was released before Obsidian’s purchase by Microsoft) and the publisher hired a third party to “punch up” the graphics - Obsidian owned the IP, but not the game itself and had no hand in the Spacer’s Choice version.

Most people at the time, including myself, who played the original didn’t like the Spacer’s Choice version graphics. It certainly didn’t match the developer’s art direction. With Outer Worlds 2, Obsidian stuck with the aesthetic they’d originally done (with some tweaks and improvements) and that’s the difference you’re seeing.

Technically, Epic won, but functionally it didn’t change much. And what they won didn’t help anyone else or the inherent structural issues https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Games_v._Google

The best thing about Tim Sweeney is that he consistently has the most wrong take on any issue. He’s like the Lou Gehrig of being an idiot.

I’ve already got it, but Dishonored is $1.99 USD, and definitely worth it for ten times that amount even after all these years.

Sorry, it’s “Slushland” now

Some folks are just very horny.

You’re just not trying hard enough

Honestly it struggles with both math and art too. Also not actually “good” at writing.

While Google and Meta provide water usage data for individual facilities, Amazon did not disclose site-specific information.

More than a little skeptical of Amazon’s data, as without facility by facility numbers, it’s impossible to get any sort of sanity check on how accurate their numbers are.

Only politicians can be that arrogant.

Have you never heard C-suite and/or millionaires talk? They all sound like that - that’s what unearned power sounds like.

Quick we need this, an unopened can of Billy Beer, his cardigan sweater, and his Habitat for Humanity hammer to bring him back!

I just outed myself as an oldster, didn’t I?

“but conservatives want to look at little kid’s junk before they can play sports.”

FTFY 🙂

That’s my personal favorite. It’s flexible to imply both the AI is intellectually masturbating them and also the reverse 🙂

I’ve had the same thought. I think of it as “transparent pricing” - like a nutrition label but for price. Maybe doesn’t even need to be as specific, but has to clearly show the profit the retailers and manufacturers are making on it. Honestly think it’s going to be the only way we get any downward pressure on prices - ever since COVID, they’ve found that they can just keep raising prices and as long as all of them do it, consumers don’t have any leverage.

When you say you have it cite its sources, do you actually read the source? Because I’ve noticed models continually cite sources that don’t support what it’s saying.

And it most definitely cannot think/reason/ideate - full stop.

Saints Row IV - I liked aspects of the earlier games, but I actually really enjoyed the meta silliness of IV. I accept that I don’t have a lot of company in having this opinion 🙂

EDIT: I guess I was wrong! I swear every time I’ve seen SRIV mentioned, I’ve seen tons of hate directed at it. Glad to see there are a bunch of us! Dozens even 😄

What alternative are you proposing?

Instead of reading the AI summary, maybe read the actual quote snippets or even better, the actual linked pages.

I’m usually all about “Fuck Cancer!” but I think in this case it can have Bondi …as a treat.
