The EGA remake was the first KQ game I ever played. I was already well into SQ, PQ, QFG, and maybe even Colonel's Bequest by then so I didn't really appreciate it as much until I played KQ4. :)

Oh no! Did it ever leave the house? Or is it lost somewhere inside?

If it's the latter then it's completely gone until you buy another one. THEN it'll show up.

The more I see of A.I., the more I really see how much it's pretty much just my phone's predictive, but drinks a lot more water.

Deliberately blurring the lines between real and fake as its major gimmick is not even a concept that A.I. can come up with on its own, since A.I.'s entire premise is "all of it. All of it is fake. Literally not a single bit of any of this is real. It's our entire selling point. You know this."

Watching the movie on a purely surface level would be to deprive yourself of most of the fun. At a time when "meta" humour is so overdone and exhausting, this movie uses it to elevate the experience. It's about knowing that people might have made impulse buys more expensive than the movie's budget.

Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie is the shiningest example of a movie having the soul that A.I. is literally impossible of generating. Neither the best nor least best moments of the movie would be at all interesting without the magic of "how did they do that?"

Google search presenting a preview of Wolf Heimlich's wiki page.

The hilarity is that it's not like the character doesn't have an entire wiki article which is also the first hit if you search "dagger of amon ra wolf". A.I. didn't at least learn "give examples from the most prominent source from the page that people to for info"

Google's A.I. summary of The Dagger of Amon Ra, based off a search for the name of the museum, which it gets correct, but is noted as naming one of the side characters "Wolf Heimck".

So it got Dagger of Amon Ra's museum right, but got a character name wrong. Which is funny because the cast of characters in the game is quite extensive, it's like it went out of its way to use the one it wasn't really sure of.

I wonder if I need to find a replacement internal PC speaker, or if it's a motherboard issue

Looks like it's a dud. *sob*

And I was so excited for this, too. :( tried it on two different computers and nothing.

They say you can't hear a picture but looking at that MS mouse, I can vividly hear the button clicking on it!

OMG that Microsoft mouse is iconic! I dunno if they dumped millions into its design alone but the physicality of that mouse is as iconic branding as any logo! I can't count how many of those I've seen come through the old used computer store I used to work at. It was like the Cadillac of PC mice!

You ever have that feeling when you play a classic game from the 80s or 90s and it's from something like Electronic Arts or Activision and it's really fun and you think to yourself, "man, this is from when they were a better company"?

Yeah, that's how I feel right now. 💛

And no, I'm not saying she's the only one who can do this or that nobody can do better. But it will always be impressive because most people can't, so it's amazing when we see somebody can.

And yes, I hate autotune too, but in this case, it's clear that they don't need it, it's just a stylistic choice for that "pop sound". Seeing them perform this live and back it up is truly IMPRESSIVE. Whereas if the exact same song were spat out by A.I.? So what? Somebody typed in a prompt. Yay.

If this song were performed by A.I. it would be meaningless. What blows me away by this song is seeing them perform it live. That vocal range is coming from a person, and even other people who trained as much as she did might not even be this talented.

Damn I'm no stranger to a good avocado roll, but it never occurred to me that I can actually just make it! Thanks for reminding me of its existence!

Two bookshelves and a bunch of floor space dedicated to gaming and geek collections.

Two bookshelves and a bunch of floor space dedicated to gaming and geek collections.

I think about a 60% majority of my "collection" is actually hoarding. I could rearrange things to make one bookshelf dedicated entirely to the stuff I got "because I could" and "because it was there" and I would run out of room.

Yep! Hoarder and re-acquiring collector! Lol

Would this be the same as the blackrock sphere generator in Ultima 7?
