They did market it. A lot.

It’s just that the game’s trailers were wildly forgettable.

Nah, I’ve seen hate. But mostly from people who hate Wesdon-Like quip writting and, well, women-haters who can’t handle the characters being ugly (and they are ugly, admittedly), so I just dismissed the hate.

That one is a special case. Yes, it got completely annihilated in numbers by even the goose goose duck clone, but, the thing is, the majority of its userbase just started playing on Mobile (where the game is free) well before the game left its popularity peak. So, the steam numbers are hardly representative of its playerbase, and the app’s download count shows it.

PUBG did not have a similar story at the time of its release, but does right now. It’s one of the most played games in the world… On chinese phones, so, uh, kind of invisible depending where we’re looking for. To put it into perspective: PUBG straight up dethroned the biggest, most profitable shooter in the world Crossfire, by splitting the population, and the takeaway there most people would have is “What the hell is a Crossfire???”.

Don’t even need to make it about code. I once asked what a term meant in a page full of a certain well known FOSS application’s benchmarks page. It gave me a lot of garbage that was unrelated because it made an assumption about the term, exactly the assumption I was trying to avoid. I try to deviate it away from that, and it fails to say anything coherent and then loops back and gives that initial attempt as the answer again. I was stuck unable from stopping it from hallucinating.

How? Why?

Basically, it was information you could only find by looking at the github code, and it was pretty straightforward - but the LLM sees “benchmark” and it must therefore make a bajillion assumptions.

Even if asked not to.

I have a conclusion to make. It does do the code thing too, and it is directly related. Once asked about a library, and it found a post where someone was ASKING if XYZ was what a piece of code was for - and it gave it out as if it was the answer. It wasn’t. And this is the root of the problem:

AI’s never say “I don’t know”.

It must ALWAYS know. It must ALWAYS assume something, anything, because not knowing is a crime and it won’t commit it.

And that makes them shit.

Manic Miner for the ZX Spectrum.

It was shit. And I don’t have to tell you why. Just look it up, sound on, that bit is mandatory.

My first ever gamer was a disappointment lmao. I did get super into the Megadrive and everything was fixed. But man.

I can always just skip those bits.

But it is annoying that they will talk Destiny updates for several minutes, but won’t mention other games in passing. Like, I don’t actually care about competitive Pokemon, but they just removed the Sleep Clause, which is like, the one and only thing people actually know about competitive Pokemon. You’d think they’d at least make a small comment on it, specially with all the attention Palworld got, but nah. For a multiplayer game to get a mention it seems to need to be owned by Blizzard or Epic.

They filled the “Totalbiscuit reads the weekly gaming news” niche and for that, they have my continued support and attention.

“could”?

Lol

No one going to point out users self-host their servers?

Sponsor Block just warns you if a video is an ad wholesale. So, logically, count the entire video.

I find PvP games with unlockables and grindables to be the opposite of a good time.

Which would be correct as Voyager is a Web App

It’s still strange because content format is vastly different between discord and reddit. I can have access to many discords for certain topics I like, but discord is just not good for them.

I literally never seen anything Furry on Lemmy, but it took me 2 minutes on Bkuesky to find not one but two prolific Bara artists.

“Hide all American news” would basically fix 50% of the issues.

What’s with the boomer humor tier jokes?

The joke is literally wifebad. That’s 60’s newspaper novelty. People have lived whole lives and died since these jokes were new.

I basically blocked every single crypto community. But around the time of the GameStop bullshit, a LOT more of them started cropping up. I thought I was safe, then two days later another one pops up. And it was always the same non-discussion bullshit.

Worse than a scam, crypto is a cult.
