Let’s take it a step further, a tile based feed where you can pick yourself what would you like to watch, wait…

I’ve been avoiding it for years and finally gave in in the moment of weakness. I uninstalled it very soon after because I hated the experience so much and never gave it another thought nor chance. xd

I miss being able to sleep and breathe.

Gals with axes? 🤔

Is there something about the meme that reminds you of it? Never played the game so am curious. haha

Sure, you don’t need to ask. :)

Nope, a neural network:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.14837 “Diffusion Models Are Real-Time Game Engines”

https://gamengen.github.io/

We present GameNGen, the first game engine powered entirely by a neural model that enables real-time interaction with a complex environment over long trajectories at high quality. GameNGen can interactively simulate the classic game DOOM at over 20 frames per second on a single TPU. Next frame prediction achieves a PSNR of 29.4, comparable to lossy JPEG compression. Human raters are only slightly better than random chance at distinguishing short clips of the game from clips of the simulation. GameNGen is trained in two phases: (1) an RL-agent learns to play the game and the training sessions are recorded, and (2) a diffusion model is trained to produce the next frame, conditioned on the sequence of past frames and actions. Conditioning augmentations enable stable auto-regressive generation over long trajectories.

Recently someone even managed to make a proof of concept doom running on a neural network.

Whitelist/allowlist for this region comes to my mind. But probably some other specific problems would arise from this too. Hmm…

Shouldn’t they be capable of detecting where the connection is going and disconnect/block it for specific regions or something? I have no clue how any of that stuff works but this one thing feels like it should be the case.

You use jet boots to get up to the drop pod.

Yes.

I’m digging the driller.

Not sure if it’s the same thing but a few days ago I saw a youtube video where person modded it with a wifi card so it could communicate with your pc which is at home. It required internet access from your phone which needs to be near though.

Voyager has an option to block specific websites/keywords which may be useful to you (depending on your device of choice). Not sure if other front ends have that but I think it’s worth looking into.

No, this can happen in vanilla game. It’s just that the mod is the only source describing the mechanic that I’m aware of.

I’m not sure how accurate this info from the modder is but this is how he describes it under his mod:

Experienced players can predict that the pipes will always malfunction 2 or 3 times, first time around 35%, second time around 70%, and maybe a third time after 90%. Generally, it’s every 50-70 seconds (average of 60 seconds).

This simple mod shakes things up by randomizing when the pipes will break - while still maintaining the same average time between breakdowns. Now pipes can jam anywhere from 5 to 115 seconds between breakdowns (average of 60 seconds). So you never know what you’re gonna get!

Mod: https://mod.io/g/drg/m/random-refinery-breakdowns

This is the only instance of it being described that I’m aware of because I was looking up refinery mods in the past. I tried looking up this info on the web to answer your question with more credible sources but I didn’t find any and didn’t bother spending too much time on that.

You will start caring when the other players will start crossing them and stacking them in a way where you will fall off of them at multiple points of the pipe. Refinery mission is my favourite mission in this game and I hate when other players ruin pipe riding. 😭

Bulk detonator specifically is a monster in deep rock galactic game that causes a big explosion upon dying. I changed “bulk” to “compression” jokingly because of how badly the meme is compressed.

Oooh, you were making fun of the spelling in the meme. Noticed that in the last moment. haha
