I find nothing unchill in that exchange. Meta comment: people read emotion into things based on their interpretation, sometimes very incorrectly. I have found that assuming best intent moves most things forward. Of course, caveats exist.
One "trick" I try as a writer of sometimes-misunderstood comms is to avoid making statements about a person I am responding to. Instead of "you," I may sub in "someone" and I try to stick to events if possible.
Instead of "the best you can do is pull up an even from 2k years ago" to "an example from 2k years ago, surely we can find more recent events." (As a trite example). Note I moved away from isolating the other person and who they are to more broad language that let's us focus on the idea at hand, not the person who raised it.
This, watching the generated clips feels uncomfortable, like a nightmare. Geometry is "swimming" with camera movement, objects randomly appear and disappear, damage is inconsistent.
The entire thing would probably crash and burn if you did something just slightly unusual compared to the training data, too. People talking about 'generated' games often seem to fantasize about an AI that will make up new outcomes for players that go off the beaten path, but a large part of the fun of real games is figuring out what you can do within the predetermined constraints set by the game's code. (Pen-and-paper RPGs are highly open-ended, but even a Game Master needs to sometimes protects the players from themselves; whereas the current generation of AI is famously incapable of saying no.)
This is super random but for a brief time I happened to be in a WoW guild with Adrian, did some raiding together. Really should get around to reading Children of Time at some point.
This is a strange allegation; While I have little personal experience with Steam's consumer service, the typical report I hear is that it is excellent and very helpful, while Google more or less doesn't have it at all. I've even successfully refunded some games that were a bit over the 2 hour window.
They promised to fix my damaged Steam Deck LCD screen for free 8 months ago, and I still haven't sent it in because I was on the move a lot.
Twice I have renewed the ticket with staff deeply apologizing and asking for them to print a new RMA, offering to pay this time, and they just send me a new RMA free of charge, which I have twice disregarded. I can't think of another digital business off the top of my hand which would put up with my shit.
Yeah, the page says "The game that created the genre" about Factorio, which isn't really true - the factorio-style gameplay was preceeded and inspired by tech mods in Minecraft.
The content here seems great, but for some reason I find the prose difficult to follow. Maybe I'm just too tired? Some sentences are oddly phrased and I have to keep backing up to re-read them.
Yeah, sorry for that. I spent more time on technical side of article rather than polishing grammar and picking right words. As for non-native speaker it is hard for me to construct sentencies that match natural English speech.
Your grammar and style are great. This isn't a novel, it's highly technical material about concepts that are difficult, very detailed, and unfamiliar to most readers. It's okay if people have to re-read stuff.
