Y u no Mamaleek
That guy is pretty much Baudrillarding that people live in the world created by media — including folk communication like memes in this case — so if this collective consciousness says something is true, it might as well be.
(You might want to tag the user, as they regularly say pretty weird stuff, this one is rather mild for them. Or don’t and let yourself be surprised.)
Remarkable that you can copypaste all that and still can’t comprehend what was done in 1984 and what was done in 2014.
If you find a way to represent our existing Milky Way galaxy with a procedural algorithm and a seed that can be run in a reasonable time on any current computer or even a cluster (say, running for a few dozen years), you’re welcome to claim the Nobel prize.
‘Elite Dangerous’ is from 2014.
The article is technically correct in that the code has been open-sourced and published, except it happened in 2016, so I’m guessing the author just decided to ride the Artemis hype.
Dracula and Sherlock Holmes are the two most-used characters in fiction (I forget which one of them is in the first place). Which is impressive, considering they had only like hundred and fifty years run so far, compared to Jesus’ two thousand years and his papa’s quite a bit more over that
Anyway, that person has plenty of work ahead of them.
‘Fallout’ isn’t just ‘derived from’, it’s a direct descendant of ‘Wasteland’, with some of the same people involved: Brian Fargo was the director on the original ‘Wasteland’, then founded Interplay aka the developer/publisher of ‘Fallout’ 1-2, and shortly thereafter inXile Entertainment that later developed ‘Wasteland’ 2 and 3.
Also, some of the folks who developed ‘Fallout’ made ‘Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura’, which is basically fantasy ‘Fallout’ — by folks of Troika Games who previously developed ‘Fallout’, and later ‘Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines’.
Judging by other comments, they are indeed randomly generated, but that doesn’t make them good:
That’s the worst part. All of those randomly generated filler quests that send you back to a location you’ve cleared twice before to kill the same named raider npc are at the very core of what is wrong with Fallout 4.
Hate to break it to you, but trains are in fact amazing for intercity freight. They’re not for the last mile, of course, but trucking or airlifting your Amazon shit into your city is plain dumb.
Broken arms eh.
Check this out: Children’s railway.
There’s also a long-running series of train simulator games, of Japanese origin, that had specially produced controllers for PlayStation 2.
Just like Japan has the ‘Air Traffic Controller’ series, when Western titles seem to have ended in the nineties.
jumped a curb
I mean, they do that sometimes. Particularly in countries with poorly maintained tracks.
I guess then that they just block popular third-party VPN services. Still not sure why, though, if it’s not mandated by law.
There were actually multiple action-adventure beat-em-up games in the MK series. Namely ‘Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero’, ‘Mortal Kombat: Special Forces’, and ‘Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks’. The last one of these is for PS2/Xbox. All three received pretty poor reviews.
Plus there was ‘Mortal Kombat: Onslaught’ for phones in 2023, but it seems to have required multiplayer, and has already been shutdown.

could have been a cool turn based JPRG
Yall know that ‘Fallout’ was originally turn-based? No need for anything Japanese in there, the RPG system was pretty good.
The nineties had some cool turn-based tactics games, like the ‘Jagged Alliance’ series, ‘X-Com’, ‘Incubation’. Even realtime tactics were very nice in the isometric view, e.g. in ‘Commandos’. Now that everything needs to be in either first-person or third-person from behind, such games rarely pop up.
‘Critical Depth’ is an underwater vehicular shooter for PlayStation 1, with movement in any direction, though still having the up-down axis. Basically underwater ‘Twisted Metal’, from the same studio.
After all, his last name literally means ‘Hungarian’, it doesn’t get more sovereign than that. Otherwise it would be like if James USA turned out to be a foreign asset.
One would think that this game is from the same developer as ‘Mini Metro’ and ‘Mini Motorways’, but nope. 🤔
You are somehow interpreting me not seeing the good in AI as if it was the same as less-able people being unworthy of aid?
I provided examples of the good delivered specifically by AI for disabled people, you still continue to dismiss it. This means that either you’re particularly dumb, pretend to be so, or are a bigot. Choose for yourself which one it is.
I simply say AI is not the way, or even a way. AI is the solution to an invented problem
Blind people not being able to see unless someone, or an AI, describes the surroundings for them, is an invented problem? You seem to be doubling down on either the bigotry or the idiocy.
But wait, since you say AI isn’t the way, you surely have another solution in mind. You know you’re free to advocate for that solution instead, without being an asshole toward disabled people.
when people say “only AI can cope with the scale”, have you stopped to ask, where does the scale come from?
That video is from 2020. Pray tell, were you also protesting against AI in 2020, or did you finger your ass instead until it’s become fashionable to hate ChatGPT, so you could blindly transfer that hate onto Apple too? Have you ever spent a second to learn that the Neural Engine accelerator for AI functionality was included in iPhones since 2017, or did you just pull your ideas about ‘AI scale’ out of your asshole? Do you even understand what it means when AI processing is done locally on end-user devices, or did three buzzwords about AI hate block the entirety of your feeble reasoning ability?
And, for that matter, 85% of what people call “AI” is actually just remote operators in Kenya or India
Or really, please feel free to provide any semblance of proof that Apple’s AI is done by people in Kenya, India or wherever, despite the Neural Engine chip. Be sure especially to highlight how the poor overworked people are able to do sub-second responses to millions of queries every day, with no change in the cadence of quality of the responses.
How about you reread the thread instead, see that it’s about accurately reproducing existing stars, and realize that you indeed have a comprehension problem.
