If you like the kind of game they were returning to (BG) I'm not sure how you could dislike Pillars. But if you still don't I think their games are great, and Pillars is perhaps even the most obvious example of carrying the torch Bioware used to carry, so I stand by my list

It was, by design, made for a smaller audience And the gaming community is better for having devs willing to make games with specific appeals, which is why I still think it's worth mentioning them.

Could be, but I'm certainly happy for it for now. Actually, I would even be okay if they did start charging on top as long as it was a reasonable price.

The Outer Worlds was merely okay, but I'm a big fan of the Pillars games.

Bioware is dead. It's sad. But then I remember that we have CDPR, Larian, and Obsidian and I feel better.

I'm not so sure about that. HBO Max is also releasing WW 1984 on its service for no additional charge. ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ to Debut Both on HBO Max and in Theaters VARIETY.COM "Wonder Woman 1984" is heading to HBO Max and movie theaters on the same day. So they already are setting it as a precedent of just being part of the service.

They will be keeping my subscription then!

You'd probably be closer with Bender if it were earlier.

Put me in the camp of "what story?" I think for a show like that the only relevant question is "did he add comedic value?" Childhood me enjoyed it. Adult me probably wouldn't if someone made me rewatch it. That said I do remember this scene forever, for some reason

I had to shut if off because he spends so much time saying absolutely nothing. So what actually did it in for him?

Not for hundreds of playstations though!

I probably could do it that way, but I find that kind of "AI" -- with heavy emphasis on the quotes -- incredibly boring to do. Perhaps even more boring than GOFAI chatter bots. If I wanted to make it interesting I'd have a system learn how to exploit sites, which means lots of attempts, which means lots of money I don't have

Alright, I'm going to join in on the fun in trying to get one.

Weird. Generally I see academic links. In the worst case, it links to a pay-walled academic link, in which case I just search the paper on google scholar and get it for free.

How did phsycis papers not have stable archived links?? Is non CS academia still in the stone age?

Not super recent but probably as recently as within a year and it was fine. But most of the stuff I reference are academic topics and those tend to have stable archived references.

Hopefully this helps others feel more comfortable. Wikipedia hate is mostly old guard. Unless you're also opposed to citing encyclopedias, Wikipedia is just as good. But the trick I use to tell people about Wikipedia when there was a rule against it is a good Wikipedia article cites its own sources and you can just follow those, verify it, and cite it yourself. So you can basically let Wikipedia do your research for you. In this case, I'm guessing it was just the original source though

Base PS4, as in not even a pro? Definitely your PC.

Here's some wild speculation. It's not the money per se. You frame globe trotting and sipping wine for the rest of your days as a great life. That's fine for bursts of time, but quite honestly I'd go mad if that were the rest of my life. Myself, and I suspect many people, enjoy various forms of work and feeling like they're accomplishing something. So now lets run with that mentality. For "rich" people perhaps it's not that they value the money--and really they shouldn't, your life won't get better after a point that is far less than some of these people have--but rather that the money they acquire signifies that they are accomplishing something and are doing well. So they don't stop because they're chasing the feeling of their accomplishment, not the money itself. If this is true, the goal for us as a society is to shift what metrics people use as an indicator of accomplishment. It seems possible at least, because money is not how I measure my own sense of accomplishment. But it's seems clear why it's an easy and obvious route for people to latch onto it.

Afraid not.

Control on ultra with RTX and DLSS from 1440 to 4K ran great on my machine, so I'm hopeful that it will handle Cyberpunk at somewhere close to that. And if it doesn't then basically only @Mr.Vic20has any hope of running it maxed out

Yeah this seems pretty big. I haven't had a chance to dive into it and there is some talk that saying it's "solved" is still premature, but their results are an amazing improvement over the previous SOTA (which they also held).

This doesn't make any sense, but I'm down with it!

Yeah we definitely still have to worry about the fact that the country is now in a place where the GOP has endorsed on-going attempts to steal the election and have just less than half the country thinking it was stolen because states had the audacity to count mail-in votes during a pandemic. We have serious work ahead to figure out how to fix this, if it even can be. I do think everyone here also agrees that the country has a lot of work to do too though, so yay, except for the part where the thing we're agreeing on is that country needs to be fixed
