Killzone 1, 2, and the Vita one are all legit good imo

It's when I start going "why are they telling me this?" that I'm more at risk of starting to skim read rather than detailed read. And then once I figure out why I was being told it, it might be too late. So signposting and real clear statements first up are real valuable.

Speaking from experience as an examiner, main thing I want is to never say to myself "why are they telling me this?". At every point I want to know already why I'm being told what I'm currently being told. How it connects to the broader point of the chapter an thesis.

There was a line in a Guardian article over the weekend that said something like 'You're less likely to be conservative when you have nothing to conserve'

I'm looking at an old 1998 game dev magazine for reasons and came across this ad. The reason I never get excited about new technology is it's just the same promises over and over and over again forever. This could easily just be about a genAI NPC system.

I think so? There was an update on the home page for it which made me think of it, but i didn’t actually read it.

On a whim, downloaded Nuclear Throne onto the Steam Deck and moments later remembered that Nuclear Throne is one of the best games ever made

MIGW was a lot of fun and it was nice to see friends again. The corporate bits had a bit of a weird vibe thanks to the specter of full industry collapse, and the experimental bits had the same old fire and spite. 7/10

Does it still take ages to actually update when you do it that way? Back in the day it wasn’t instant

I imagine you’d be using LLMs in pretty specific and technically ways and not generalist genAI in the general slop ways of most sectors that I‘m broadly alluding to

Also you’re not disagreeing with me?? Yeah, I do use a pc because i think handwriting isn’t worth the effort! Just like slopjockeyd use genai because they think actual art isn’t worth the effort.

Topping up a myki card at a 7-11 and then realising the amount I paid is less than the amount the card is in the negative because I got one train today.

Yeah for me if someone chooses to use genai for a task that already tells me that it is a task they don’t consider worthy of actual effort or care. We all just have different opinions on which tasks those are.

I still think the most accurate and consistent way to think about generative AI is that, in every instance, people exclusively use it for tasks that they don't have any respect for or give a shit about.
