There's part I like and dislike, I agree that it's a 7/10 but I don't mean it as a huge criticism One thing that's pretty surprising about it to me is that it's more like Eternal than I thought it would. The faltering system in Eternal was the thing where if you deal a load of damage to an enemy, or break a weakpoint off, they stagger a little bit and you can punish that. They have foregrounded this mechanic in Doom Dark Ages, where now there will be a little yellow halo around every enemy's head if they get stunned. There's no weakpoints in this but I think that's cause there's so many enemies on screen that they don't want you to micromanage them as much, outside of the one-to-one ones like the Cyberdemon (Protip: punch it until it dies) One thing that I've started doing a lot now is taking notice of where the shield guys are situated. I don't know if it's cause of an upgrade, or something else, but when you burst their shields it sends a shockwave, and this also falters nearby guys. So if a mancubus is standing beside a plasma guy, best thing isn't to use the big guns on the manc, but use the small plasma gun on the small guy, and then that stuns the manc and you can dash in and punch him once. It's also a really active game I think, you are thinking about shitloads of things so even if the game doesn't look as fast and dynamic as Eternal, I'm finding myself thinking more while playing it. It's also not slow, I think, it's a fast game. Except when you're in a sparring match and then it gets super slow in a very disorientating way. I get the idea with the slowmo, but it messes me up and makes me think I have more frame advantage than I really do On the weapon wheel, one thing I absolutely hate about this game is how they've made it so that every weapon is part of a 'class'. So combat shotgun and super shotgun share the 1 key, swapped with F. You cannot map the guns individually, so you often have to bring out the 'wrong' weapon to get the one you want. Or, go to the weapon wheel and press F to toggle them. So it almost seems designed for consoles, which is fine but at the expense of the keybindings. Nevertheless, I also refuse to use the wheel cause I hate how it slows things down I think even with its issues, and I think this is the worst game of the three, it's really smartly designed in the big area fights. It's not a Dark Knight Rises or Godfather Part III or Spiderman 3, more of a Back to the Future 3 (that one was alright, right?)

Yeah, I've looked at that and it says stuff about the access control entry being corrupted and to delete them or whatever, but my user doesn't have high enough privileges to do that If it was Linux, I could probably figure the permissions stuff out and chown it or whatever but I've no idea about Windows and how to superuser with it

With the xbox app on PC, what's the deal with this 'WindowsApps' folder it creates? I can't get into it at all, to install mods or anything. I remember this being a thing I think, which is why I bought Starfield instead of getting it on GP cause I had to have mods. But is it still totally locked down like this? I want to mod out the slowdown on parry with Doom Dark Ages

The director of this has a youtube channel full of him beating DMC5 boss fights without taking damage https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/clair-obscurs-director-has-an-old-youtube-channel-full-of-masterful-no-hit-devil-may-cry-videos-because-of-course-he-does/ Expect someone to bring that up with him in the future and ask if the royal guard style had any influence

If I could I would Thanos snap this game out of existence, I think I'm still residually triggered by it

Sony GAAS seem cursed. Marathon has a massive plagiarism controversy on its hands, its whole art design seems like it was stolen https://www.resetera.com/threads/artist-accuses-bungie-of-stealing-her-work-for-marathon-bungie-responds-and-confirms-see-threadmark-for-response.1190511/ (there are more skeets if you click through) As shitty Fridays surprises go, got to be up there

When I watch maf play FFVII I like to pretend that a real life meteor is going to wipe us all out soon

Besides the environment impact, a thing I worry with AI is its impact on knowledge as Shiny mentions. Maybe 'knowledge' isn't the right word, moreso critical thinking and curiosity. Cause it yields to you so easily information on any subject you give it, any point in history or science subject or whatever, easier than wikipedia ever did. But it will collate this info without telling you its sources, unless you ask it which it'll happily do and you can confirm yourself if what it's saying is accurate. Most of the time though you're probably still operating on a sense of trust that it knows what it's talking about, and the thing with it is that it generally makes it sound like it really does. But what about when it doesn't, will the average user even be able to tell? I think future generations will just take whatever an AI says and think it's gospel without actually reading anything themselves. Hell, we're already there, probably. But I feel like when wikipedia was 'this', people generally agreed that you couldn't take everything on it at face value as anyone could edit it. But now that we've outsourced what wiki used to be to an LLM, we're more accepting of it despite even less transparency with where it generates the things it 'knows' Maybe what I'm saying here doesn't matter that much and I'm losing the forest for the trees (perhaps literally). I'd hate to be a lecturer right now

I doubt the average steam user knows what BDS is tbh Not that I'm a paragon of virtue, I did just become a new GP subscriber after all

The steam CCU is pretty weak. Got to be a lot of people feeling the same way about game prices I feel https://www.resetera.com/threads/doom-the-dark-ages-launches-to-31k-ccu.1190784/

I used it to write an email to nintendo to get them to refund an auto renew on their online that I forgot about, and it generated a bunch of EU law suggesting that Nintendo are fucking people off on this. Anyway they still said no lol But you really need to be careful with these closed models I think, I don't know what the video really is about but Grok in particular keeps ranting about white genocide or something https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/15/musks-xai-grok-white-genocide-posts-violated-core-values.html Although the larger point here is more about getting away from twitter I think. It's pure brainrot now

I played so much of it I gave myself a headache, which is both criticism and praise I think It's way more fatiguing than Eternal, cause of all the punching and visual effects on screen. But it sure ain't slow

I think I understand OBS a little better now, bitrates at least, so I'm trying out a low skill playthrough of Doom The Dark Ages on nightmare, a challenge run I invented Hopefully it doesn't break

Yes it's very long I watched it just now. The video titled "Deep Dive into LLMs like ChatGPT" is a comprehensive 3.5-hour lecture by Andrej Karpathy, former Director of AI at Tesla and founding member of OpenAI. It's designed to provide both beginners and experienced practitioners with a thorough understanding of how large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are built, trained, and deployed. 🧠 Key Topics Covered Training Pipeline of LLMs: Pre-training: Utilizing massive datasets to teach models language patterns and general knowledge. Fine-tuning: Adjusting models for specific tasks using curated datasets. Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF): Enhancing model outputs by learning from human preferences, promoting deeper reasoning over mere imitation. Model Architecture: Detailed explanation of the transformer architecture, including tokenization, attention mechanisms, and positional embeddings. Insights into how these components enable models to process and generate human-like text. Capabilities and Limitations: Discussion on the strengths of LLMs in various applications. Addressing challenges like "hallucinations," where models may produce plausible but incorrect or misleading information. Emphasis on the importance of critical evaluation and supervision when using LLM outputs. Future Directions: Exploration of multimodal models that can handle not just text but also images and audio. Potential advancements in making LLMs more interactive and versatile tools for users. 🎯 Who Should Watch This? This lecture is ideal for: Students and Educators: Seeking a foundational understanding of LLMs. AI Enthusiasts and Practitioners: Looking for in-depth technical insights. Professionals: Interested in the practical applications and implications of LLMs in various industries. Karpathy's approach is noted for being accessible, making complex topics understandable without oversimplification. Whether you're new to the field or looking to deepen your knowledge, this video serves as a valuable resource. For a more detailed breakdown or specific sections of the lecture, feel free to ask! 😛 (on a serious note, I will watch it/listen to it at some point)

Will never ever play this game
