Thank you for writing all of that. I’ve been avoiding the Persona series because I played some of P1 back in the day and didn’t care for it. P3 sounds much more enjoyable to me.

Game code you can’t debug because you don’t understand it. Brilliant.

I think I get what the article is saying, but all I can imagine is Siri calmly reading to me the vilest insults ever written.

Knights of the Old Republic. It holds up pretty well, with a few mods for widescreen and resolution support.

Have you tried FreeSpaceOpen?

ChatGPT is famous for hallucinating answers to factual questions. And they used it anyway? Day by day, the risk of AI killing us all is paling in comparison to the risk of stupid humans killing us all using AI.

Good news: smaller pieces burn up much easier in the atmosphere, so in the case of an actual asteroid deflection it’s still a net gain.

It is a light-hearted semi-parody of Star Trek made by people who love Star Trek.

First a crossover with an animated comedy series, and now a musical episode? They have lost their minds over at SNW and I am so here for it.

So we have generation loss instead of AI making better AI. At least for now. That’s strangely comforting.

Replacing the cognitive activity of the CEO would save the most money.

Interesting. What counts as the endgame? I’m in Act 9 now.

It’s not an exact match but I’ve been enjoying Hard Fork.

Path of Exile. I can’t even say it’s great. It’s OK. But they must have nailed that Diablo-esque addictive quality because I can’t stop.

The big difference I see is what it’s controlling. Sure, the Navy used Xbox controllers for intuitive use of the periscope. I bet if you asked them “please make all ship attitude controls, and therefore crew safety, reliant on this,” they would laugh at you and walk away.
