Sounds like people like talking about AI, time to push for even more of it!

Wow, I just got hit with a wave of nostalgia looking at those PureBDCraft inspired textures.

Does Overwatch not have crossplay?

It's just one of those years. There were a lot of great games that came out this year.

Different strokes for different folks and all that. I personally couldn't stand The Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, or Baldur's Gate 3 despite them being constantly praised.

Reach is my favorite Halo game. To be completely honest, I always wanted more from the story telling in most Halo games, as you're usually just a one man army with nobody else to care about. Sure, maybe there's some high stakes overarching story, and you often have some regular soldiers helping you out, but it's not something I ever really think about during a mission. I'm just here to shoot aliens, and my allies are meat shields who will not be missed. Which is fine, but when I played Reach for the first time and watched characters I came to like actually die, I loved it. It's funny too, because in the lore Master Chief is a competent commander that prefers fighting with a squad, while Noble Six is a total lone wolf that always fights alone, and yet their games play opposite that.

I didn’t want him taking the sniper so i threw myself off the ledge to stop him from getting it.

I love this. Every time I play Halo with somebody, this type of shit goes down. Somebody does something and then suddenly it's just a free for all, and by the end of it, we're more worried about fucking the other person over than whatever we originally wanted to do.

Nah, Vocaloids like Hatsune Miku aren't AI. Vocaloid music uses voice synthesizers, with each character being a unique voicebank with a mascot. But the final result of a Vocaloid song is completely man-made. They're closer to instruments than they are to AI.

Any time I hear people say county music is bad, I'm reminded about Bo Burnham's pandering bit. There is good country music out there, you unfortunately just gotta wade through the slop to find it.

When I say "inspired them to release", I should caveat that they've probably been planning this for a million years, and are merely framing it as a piece of direct fan service. Netease aren't some jovial uncle, magnanimously handing you another cookie in the face of steady mithering. They are a massive corporation with growth forecasts and other financial flimstackery that defies my comprehension.

I appreciate the article mentioning this, even if its obvious enough once you think about it for a moment.

Anyway, this is pretty cool news. I haven't actually played Rivals since the first season ended, so I don't know how much better they've gotten at this since, but I was always disappointed by the lack of social interactions available between players. Overwatch for example has a multitude of emotes, sprays, and voice lines that you can fuck around with before or during a match and make temporary friends with. Rivals was sorely lacking in comparison.

Minecraft on peaceful difficulty isn't violent at all. Hostile monsters don't spawn, and while you can kill a pig or something, there is no reason or encouragement to since you don't get hungry. As far as aesthetically ugly... that's entirely subjective. I highly doubt your kids will mind how it looks (I sure didn't). In fact, I loved the blocky style when I was a kid. Reminded me of legos.

From what I gathered via reading the first sentence on her wikipedia page, she's popular on tiktok. So at least some of the youth probably do.

Depends entirely on how you interpret the question. It could be read as "What's a recent game you've tried..." (as in, a recently released game that you tried), as you've done, or "What's a recent game you've tried..." (as in, a game you've tried recently) as the person you're responding to did.

I think either interpretation is fine since the title doesn't actually clarify either way.
