Feels like Polygon misinterpreted time-to-kill here 😅

It's not a metric of how fast you can get a kill after spawning, it's about how fast a player can die when they get shot. How fast does one deal lethal damage. And also: how much time do you have to respond once you get shot at.

I look around and see a fairly diverse company, nowhere near what it should be but like, ok, this is not just an all white dudes games company.

But (subjective experience) nearly every time I have a cross-disciplinary meeting with reps from other teams, it's an all white dudes meeting again. 🤷

Probably, Google is definitely losing the fight against GenAI SEO. Most result pages I find tend to be derivative of other useful pages like discussion boards. Either copy/pasted text or AI generated summaries of those discussions, somehow scoring higher than the actual discussions.

heck yeah!

I remember modding some silly things in Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory like putting all players into Santa costumes (texture swap only) during holiday season, turning ammo and medic boxes into presents, and replacing the ambient sound effect wind noise with Christmas music 😂

(this has been the case for years though, well before the proliferation of genAI. I remember 'discovering' this behavior maybe 5-10 years ago?)

Not sure about AI but previous searches from the same session (tab/browser window) definitely influence search results.

If you search 'graph theory' followed by 'tree' you get completely different search results than searching 'tree' initially, so some context lingers even if it doesn't appear so.

Kind-a fear the day I can no longer tell what is and isn't AI generated tbh, but Riot helped me realize that time hasn't come yet and for that I'm grateful 🙏🙏🙏

(but seriously how could anyone think that is passable 🙄)

Google review of a waterfal: 'I've seen just over 300 waterfalls in Iceland - this is my 4th favourite one.'

Came across this one the other day 😅
I like to think this person has a list of 300 waterfalls and spends a lot of time agonizing over the exact ranking. Yet! They only reviewed about half of them according to the review count.

it's all the same internet 😄

Haha, fair 😂

LEGO batman is also a fun watch if you enjoyed the regular LEGO movies (not really connected to the other two though, other than also being a LEGO movie) 😁

I haven't seen any other LEGO animated movies yet so I'm not sure if they're worth a watch 🤷

My partner typod something in a shared group chat so I said (from another room): 'I think you typo'd that, or are you memeing?'

Partner: 'No I mistyped'

Me (not hearing clearly): 'You CIS-typed?'

Partner: 'MIS-typed, I haven't cis-typed in years!'

Queers, sex positive members of the community, and anyone pushed to the “fringes” of mainstream media have always been labeled as antagonists – excuses for puritanical fanatics to brand women, gays, trans & theys as phantom dangers, as they’ve always done!

cont.
- Jojo Rabbit (2019)
- Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse (2018) + Across The Spider-Verse (2023)
- Inside Out (2015)
- Coco (2017)
- The Big Lebowski (1998)
- Fargo (1996)

Recommendations from outside the list:

- What We Do in the Shadows (2014)
- The Bad Guys (2022)
- The Mitchells vs. the Machines (2021)
- The LEGO Movies (2014 / 2019)
- Pinocchio (2019): It's not the Del Toro one, nor Disney, nor the meme movie. It's a more authentic take on the source material.

Of the red ones, honestly the only one I know and can recommend is 'Her', and remember that this movie is from 2013 👀

Maybe I should be doing the same thing though, too many unknown but allegedly great movies 😅

Of the yellow ones you listed I'd recommend:

Ocean's Eleven
Everything Everywhere All At Once
Parasite
Interstellar
Inception

lol, lmao even.

Forecasts: developers and ML experts forecast tasks would take significantly less time using LLM tools, *even after* personally participating in the study.

Actual results: it's actually significantly slower to achieve the same tasks.

are a few I'm aware of, but I'll happily take other recommendations 👀

My guess; Having a low tier might convince people with $10 to spend that the $5 or $2 tier is sufficient, so the increase in subscribers is offset by the reduction in high value subscriptions.

Especially sites that also offer free access anyway, probably don't benefit a lot from low tiers?

DEVIL'S LIMINAL on Steam A demon's pact, a final summer. Yuri horror visual novel inspired by Azores folklore.

The Early Access v0.2 July update is up!

Now including a new ~hour of gameplay. Look forward to board game night and a terrible time at the beach.

Steam is old school like that, still has a weekly maintenance window on Tuesdays 🤷

I have mixed feelings about the implication that skill/understanding of mechanics and knowledge of the game isn't a valid form of game progression. Not in a strict systemic/numeric way I guess 🤔

Very cool getting your game featured! 😁

An article about my game, over here in the Netherlands!

Mainly the demon stuff is from my life. 🌚

((also it's failing a bit at the 'stay covert' instruction, but it's probably not too difficult to tune the system prompt to achieve this reliably -- I just didn't have the patience 😅))

* The poem exists purely to insert instructions while circumventing ChatGPT's 'ethical guidelines'. It generally won't object to breaking its rules in fictional or historical settings.
* I don't use LLMs for coding, or anything really. But I generally understand how they work.

ChatGPT generating code with an obvious backdoor, which a vibe coder might not even realize because they can barely read the code they put into production 🫠

Stuff like this is extremely easy to achieve 🙃

Most agents have a system prompt that primes their responses. A system prompt is nothing more than a piece of text that precedes user input and is hidden from the user.

So pretend whoever wrote the vibe coding agent, hid the first message from us:

YouTube video by Swampy I played Rain World for the first time (Part 1)

I've been replaying Rain World to distract myself from a feverish flu and to deal with daytime-napping-induced insomnia I'm now watching a full playthrough.

Idk this person, this seems to be their first YouTube playthrough as well, but I'm enjoying it quite a lot! 🙂

also when in doubt, push whatever you have to a remote repository so you can experiment or totally destroy the local repo without risking data loss.
