The classic IGN 7/10 score, for when they don’t want to have an opinion.

In all seriousness, this game looks cool.

That would be great if it was both. Deckard surely would be a US-first release though. Us aussies will get it 2 years later.

That would be great. Also have two already. Hopefully prices go down. Its much cheaper to get a PS5 than an oled steam deck here.

Absolutely and same here being in the PC camp, though I do have a ps5 and switch.

There is also the Steam Deck to consider as it is essentially a subsidised and purpose built PC. The benefit being that the steam deck is an open platform, that allows you to install games from other stores with some workarounds.

And that’s kind of where the hidden cost of the PS5 is. Very rarely do you see the same discounts on Sony’s closed store for games.

If the AI doesn’t hallucinate incorrect information, I totally agree.

One size fits all classroom learning leaves many students behind, and having a personal AI tutor could really help kids fill in the gaps in their understanding that would otherwise be overlooked.

AI hallucinations is still a very real factor that limits the usefulness of this tech right now though. I magine coming into class and your tutor you had yesterday is confidently telling you the opposite of the fact that it taught you yesterday.

Fair enough. I haven’t paid either but I don’t have a huge GOG library. For epic games I consider it better than HGL. Less logout issues like I have with HGL, and it’s easier to navigate to.

The Epic games are part of their public (free) release, but GOG is still in beta/alpha and I think you make a one off patron donation or be a part of one of their patreon tiers to access it. Its a solo dev effort with a tonne of time put into it.

Junkstore from the Decky-Launcher can give a close to native experience. Its kind of a paid app though. Otherwise heroic games launcher works well.

I didn’t even know about this but I think you’re right. I just scrolled through the Calm Piano playlist and the third song down was by an artist with millions of streams, but absolutely zero online presence outside of Spotify and Apple Music. Their about section was just a generic sentence.

I hate this. So the idea is that the cost of creating this music is less than the payout of streaming royalties if they push the songs on their official generic playlists, effectively keeping the money in-house rather than paying to an external artist… yay…

Agreed. As a person that has released music, I hate this guy and would like the book thrown at him and anyone mass releasing shitty AI music… It might not be a big corpo doing it, but it’s still fucking creatives over.

Surely it’s coming. We have The music publishing cartel vs Suno already.

Exactly, there are blatant examples of direct plagiarism spat out by these LLMs.

Beautiful architecture and streets. A lot of homelessness and rats everywhere though. Bakery food/breads were fantastic. We found people to be a lot more welcoming in rural France than in Paris.

Didn’t go during Olympics, this was pre-COVID.

I wonder where they trained the AI model to answer such a question lol.

Indeed, clearly an inferior OS.

All post-COVID tech companies in a nutshell.

AI seems to be getting used as the latest way to keep VCs still interested in a world of higher interest rates and otherwise tighter corporate spending.

It’s just a shame that some of the biggest of those issues appear to be fundamental game mechanics.

I think that’s kind of a shame.

I don’t care for Ubisofts bland and lazy open world design formula, but SW:O appears to not do a lot of the usual open world BS that they’re known for.

I only get this from Skillup’s review and he had a host of problems with gameplay, but I also got the sense that this is a game that will be remembered fondly by a subset of the star wars fandom.

Hopefully the lesson that Ubi learns isn’t “see, we should stick with what works. Another generic open world Assassins Creed RPG-Lite”.

Pivoting into NFTs didn’t help.
