That’s another great example.
The concept is really cool, and I hope to see some more interesting attempts to incorporate more of that adaptive kind of dialogue and gameplay, but its not going to be easy to figure out how to make it work.
It’s not that the dialogue doesn’t sound right, it’s that the dialogue is disconnected from the game.
A great example was someone did this with Skyrim a while back. In the dialogue they convinced the NPC to join their party. But there isn’t any code logic to allow that, so the NPC is talking like they joined the person’s party, but the gameplay itself doesn’t support it.
Now for animal crossing you could make it work a bit easier cause the character can’t directly interact with the NPCs, but then again it also makes the endless dialogue less impactful.
The biggest issue I have with all of these is that the dialogue is never connected to the actual actions of the npcs.
Its easy to have an npc say something, but tying it to gameplay mechanics isn’t. So we end up with people asking for this in new games, but all you get is conversations disconnected from the gameplay. I’m sure there is someway to make it feel more “right”, but we’re a farcry away from making true open world games like this.
I mean, we’re hundreds if not thousands of iterations into robotics. Hell, we’ve probably had tens if not hundreds of attempts to create humanoid robots.
This is just the current iteration of humanoid robots getting beaten up for not delivering on its promises.
Given I think BOTW was just fine, I’m a little worried about Metroid 4.
I’m not sure if it’s worse that it’s releasing on the switch and not just the switch 2.
It really shows they held back on 3D All-Stars just so they could re-release Mario Galaxy 2 now.
Yeah I feel like doing it and forcing the federal government to bring up a lawsuit would be worth the effort.
Is that finished or still ongoing?
You can us ssh to open up a vscode instance that is pointed at/running on another machine. But I don’t know if that works with the Web version.

There is also a tunnels extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.remote-server
Cause they’re also trying to combat inflation caused by tarrifs.
While lowered interest rates can make money cheaper and spur the economy, tariffs are causing inflation to tick up again. So we’ve got a slowing economy with rising inflation, basically a position the Fed is I’ll equipped to deal with.
In summaru everyone who’s not wealthy is in for a fun time regardless of what they do.
How does a regular database not do that?
Either it’s tracked or its not, the medium for that tracking doesn’t really change much.
This has been the playbook of the conservative majority on the Supreme Court to undermine our democracy. Lower courts have consistently been applying injunctions/stays that would minimize disruptions and/or infringements on rights, then the Supreme Court overturn those injunctions/stays without providing a reason (cause usually there isn’t a good one). This gives the administration the win becuase by the time the law might catch up the damage is done.
A great example is the administration’s attempt to kill certain agencies. The executive does not have the power to do so, but by waiting around and kneecaping the agencies, the administration gets what it wants.
Whats more obvious is that the court is obviously afraid to come out and provide reasoning for its decisions. It’s all closed door-like rulings because there isn’t much good legal reasoning or defense.
That means they effectively allowed the firing. It’s not like people can stand around indefinitely waiting for the courts nor can the agency.
Its letting Trump get what he wants without actually needing to make a real judgment on the legality. At this point the law seems to barely mean anything.
Not actual cash, but they require in game currency.
I mean yes and no. The translator is supposed to make sure the text conveys the same meaning/intent. That doesn’t mean things are 1:1.
With cryptic and poetic text as seen in these games you certainly can’t just Google translate it.
I mean, it’s not 1:1, but for some of the lines I think I like the Chinese version better. Sometimes the lines in hollow knight/silksong feel empty so adding a bit “more” isn’t too bad.
I think it’s a mixture of that and the fact that when OpenAI saw that throwing more data drastically improved the models, they thought they would continue to see jumps like that.
However, we now know that bad benchmarks were misleading how steep the improvements were, and much like with autonomous vehicles, solving 90% of the problem is still a farcry away from 100%.
For your first question, I think the average person would benefit from a simple digital currency that let’s them exchange “cash” without having to jump through a bunch of hoops. Venmo, Zelle, etc. are all proof that normal people want easy ways to pay each other.
As for your second point, I’m not sure I follow. But I assume you’re implying that crypto is better because it isn’t tied to the state?
So I’ve been reading into stable coins a lot, because I don’t understand why anyone would care about them. And what I’ve come to realize is they are a benefit to two groups:
At the end of the day, it feels like a “true” digital currency would be the better solution, but everyones jumping on Stablecoins because they’re here now and less regulated.
I think there is potential in a more cash-like digital currency, but Stablecoins seem ripe to break in some unforseen way, especially given the current administration.

I mean, you can only gouge so much. Sure groceries and essentials can do crazy things, but people stop buying stuff when they have no money/job.
