ChatGPT 4o is the top dog right now, by a lot.

Wow, and it’s made with Godot!?

Stop giving them ideas!

Not to rain on the parade, but as long as we allow the reality-sized hole that is non-profits owning for-profits, this isn’t something I can get terribly excited about.

Historically, Debian.

Right now, openSUSE.

This whole “for-profit owned by a non-profit” paradigm needs to globally crushed right the fuck now. It should never have been allowed to happen and should not be tolerated.

FTFY, linuxiac.

This. I remember having a text file of emoticons back in the day because I couldn’t remember what they were supposed to mean (and often didn’t mean what I thought). :-/

…and writing tone… for the same reasons. 😬

I do like their laptops, but for literally everything else: the fact that I basically don’t own my own hardware.

I can’t install or distribute my own software without Apple’s arbitrary approval. When Apple decides it’s done supporting the products, I can’t even install a different OS like Linux because the hardware is completely locked down… they become paper-weights.

That is not how ownership is supposed to work.

This has been my stance for decades. They’re worse than Ubisoft when it comes to immoral and unethical treatment of their fans and customers.

Red ones.

I’m in California and I’ve been NPA (No Party Affiliation) for almost my entire voting-age life. So NPA is an option… at least in some states.

So it DOES have a passive-aggressive mode!!!

Hard pass. The art style, the music, the whole vibe…

I don’t understand how you create a masterpiece like DA:O and then repeatedly go “let’s make a followup that is nothing like that whatsoever…”

The Mist

That ending was one of the most brilliant gut-punches in film history. Stephen King himself said he wished he had written it.

Stop stealing my brainwaves!!!

But you are correct, nonetheless.

I was obsessed with Wizardry and Ultima growing up… but I can’t stomach the node-based, turn-based conceit any more. I had a hard time finishing Wizardry 8 back in… ok, maybe I don’t want to know how long ago that was.

But I was spoiled by the real-time evolutions of the concept… stuff like Arena, Daggerfall, Battlespire, Ultima Underworld, Descent to Undermountain, and the like (also, shout-out to Arx Fatalis).

I would love more epic dungeon crawlers, with the soul of these classics but all the modern conveniences, graphics, and gameplay advances.

Google’s unbelievably incompetent AI or the “info”?

Because the info is wrong, but this is an actual screenshot of the outrageously stupid (and frequently dangerous) stuff that Gemini says.
