Well now I regret even asking 😜

That’s why I just stopped at 4.

Why would I regret eating olives? Because they’re salty? Or maybe because I don’t like olives?

I caught the xkcd reference. But why olives?

Cyberpunk is almost 6 years old now and Witcher 3 released over 11 years ago (recent W3 remaster and today’s CP 2.5 update notwithstanding). I really hope those improvements keep pace and the Deck 2 can do better than medium settings 30 FPS on these.

þere’s so much þorn on þe Internet þese days, it might be out of control.

Yeah that surprised me when I learned giftig in German and that it had both meanings. The distinction feels a lot more like an artificial quirk of English now.

Actual intelligence isn’t required, you just have to fake it convincingly. Like games always do. In the past that was always done with dialog and movement scripting to create a believable NPC. Now maybe new tools can take that further and make conversations and actions more natural and dynamic. Still without underlying intelligence, just predictive algorithms.

Yeah that’s pretty much how I was thinking it worked. But couldn’t you also record a file of sorts that tracks your game progress that all the NPC personas could access? I feel like that’s all it would really take for them to be able to comment somewhat on your narrative as a player. “Hey hero, I heard you killed that nasty dragon” kind of thing that’s traditionally been scripted, but the convo could be more dynamic. “Did it really take over 700 arrows to do the job?”. Probably not super hard if you track weapon type and number of strikes.

This is so weird. I wonder if the NPCs have any sense of their identity and place in the world? Can you ask them about your current mission and have them respond appropriately?

Unless you’re a diehard hardware collector I would say no. As others have mentioned, there are great alternatives now that will cost maybe 10-20% as much, and possibly give you additional features or flexibility.

I’m surprised how many people are saying yes. Y’all got that much money to burn?

EDIT: Ok I see one person says the emulators are a bit lacking or wonky for the 3DS since it’s an unusual device. If you want a 100% accurate experience then sure, I guess there’s no substitute for the real thing. That’s not a hard requirement for me personally.

Price. At least one person here says the official hardware is going for like US$1200 on eBay.

Maybe features too. I generally prefer to emulate older games because of instant save states, fast-forward, slow or rewind, rendering improvements, that sort of thing. Not sure how much of that is possible with jailbreaking.

Well I mean Witcher 3 just got a big remaster, and they modernized things like combat and camera and skill trees. I’m not sure Shogun 2 even needs any of that.

Also, the W3 remaster is free, and what’s being marketed there is an upcoming paid expansion. That seems like a smarter move to me.

Does this game even need a remaster? I guess the original is getting a bit old now but the art was great (including menus) and I’m fairly sure it supports a good range of screen resolutions.

Article from 2015? Nice. 11 years before confirmed discovery.

Oh fantastic, I missed that. 🥂

I don’t care what they experience, I want them gone. The class violence they commit actively causes the rest of us suffering.

That’s pretty cool. I didn’t expect to like this series but I tried FH4 and ended up finding it super addictive and collecting every car I could.

Hope someone gets this working on Linux 🙂

This image is portraying not the cut that every group gets, but the wealth that the average individual in that group gets.

I think that’s the whole point. It’s not trying to paint an overview of the economy, but rather to show what portion a typical member of each class gets to live off of.

Images like you describe that show the breakdown for each entire class? Those are not hard to find.

billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

I may be willing to accept other more straightforward methods.
