I hate turn based combat too, but it was super enjoyable in coop. And it’s quite good for being turn based.

It’s also real-time outside of combat, FYI.

For solo, I’d probably get the mod that automates your companions, and reduce the difficulty to your taste to compensate.

It should be the first, no question.

I’m sorry, but Democratic leadership, the Washington Post, and the New York Times are not “right wing.” The last Republican presidental candidate thje NYT endorsed was Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956.

They’re right wing to you and Lemmy, but Lemmy is not the center of America’s political compass. And I’m speaking as a rabid DJT hater who votes straight ticket Democrat, bar one primary I registered republican in just so I could vote against DJT.

It says center and center-right outlets have a left bias

Which outlets, specifically?

Still an understatement, it deserves it and more.

I don’t even like turned based games. I don’t like most high fantasy. But holy moly, what a ride BG3 is.

I’m just gonna be pissed of their mixed support of modding (due to wotc) kills the modding community. If Skyrim and Rimworld can have a whole universe of fan content, BG3 should too.

She endorsed Biden before. It wasn’t really a surprise.

Is this why everyone is downvoting the fact checker? Because they don’t like it saying their preferred outlets have a bias?

The Guardian does have a left bias, its pretty obvious. That’s not a bad thing.

It’s still everywhere in my news/internet diet.

It’s bleeding, for sure, but it’s big. Its gone bad. But I think its premature to say its collapse is a good thing, because it just won’t go away.

It’s not dead though, it’s still linked to everywhere, from big news to niche communities because it still has that critical mass and inertia.

And I have to be cynical of the Fediverse, but realistically, what replaces it, at least here in the US? Discord? No, thanks, I’d at least rather have information be public.

I’m speaking as someone who has never used Twitter, but I can’t ignore it, as much as I’d like to.

The behavior is configurable just like it is on linux, UAC can be set to require a password every time.

But I think its not set this way by default because many users don’t remember their passwords, lol. You think I’m kidding, you should meet my family…

Also, scripts can do plenty without elevation, on linux or Windows.

That actually is weird.

TBH this is a great space for modding and local LLM/LLM “hordes”

TBH that would ddos lemmy with new users, lol.

They still can’t game it for engagement optimization to that extreme, not like the closed loops of monolithic sites.

Futurama had it right, spammers are the ultimate destroyers.

Hmm, what if the shadowbanning is ‘soft’? Like if bot comments are locked at a low negative number and hidden by default, that would take away most exposure but let them keep rambling away.

Trap them?

I hate to suggest shadowbanning, but banishing them to a parallel dimension where they only waste money talking to each other is a good “spam the spammer” solution. Bonus points if another bot tries to engage with them, lol.

Do these bots check themselves for shadowbanning? I wonder if there’s a way around that…

This. I’m surprised Lemmy hasn’t already done this, as it’s such a huge glaring issue in Reddit (that they don’t care about, because bots are engagement…)

GPT-4o

Its kind of hilarious that they’re using American APIs to do this. It would be like them buying Ukranian weapons, when they have the blueprints for them already.

Jokes aside (and this whole AI search results thing is a joke) this seems like an artifact of sampling and tokenization.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Gemini tokens for XTX are “XT” and “X” or something like that, so it’s got quite a chance of mixing them up after it writes out XT. Add in sampling (literally randomizing the token outputs a little), and I’m surprised it gets any of it right.
