But will just adding AI alone be enough? I propose we also add “blockchain”, “the cloud” and “e-commerce” to ticket pricing in order to truly synergize profit dynamics.

IIRC this is kinda a “There the same picture” sort of situation, since most LLM’s lean heavily on Reddit as a source.

Yeah, the miracle serving sizes. Similar to how tic-tacs are advertised as “low calorie” when they’re basically flavored sugar.

IMO this isn’t really meant an informative article, it’s more of a “Laugh as rich losers’ own chatbot turns on him”. You have a laugh at Mush’s expense and then move on.

Odd to consider that Nvidia is now an arms dealer.

Ah, yet another rephrasing of “You’ll own nothing.”

Yeah, I can just imagine how well a “AI” would deal with a situation like this when they can’t even operate a drive-thru properly.

Thanks! I guess the article I use for reference was from near the start of that debacle.

Oh no, less than an eighth of what they lost on their stupid metaverse project. I’m sure they’ll really feel the sting of this judgement and learn their lesson.

I dunno, if the best they can come up with to promote their hotel is “there aren’t any ghosts!” when… ya know, ghosts aren’t real, that makes me kinda suspicious. It’s like when you see a “GMO free” label on salt, or something. If that is the best selling point they can come up with, it makes me question why they don’t have any other, more substantial or more relevant points to talk up their product.

In my (relatively uninformed) opinion, mostly yes, but kinda no.

While a salt lamp is made of mined salt they’re usually made of a lower grade of salt than the stuff that ends up for food use, so you’d probably end up with some unpleasant “dirt” flavors in the salt. However, more importantly most salt lamps I’ve seen have been varnished, since raw salt will absorb moisture from the air and melt into brine. So you’d also be consuming a lot of whatever they used to give the lamp a moisture proof coating and I don’t know how food safe that is.

I’m pretty sure if you could speak cat, it’d be yelling “How dare you do this to me!”

Eh, I guess I toss out one of my favorite DS games as a break from my previous Steam recommendations, so Retro Game Challenge 2, the fan translation of GameCenter CX: Arino no Chōsenjō 2. This actually may get downvoted a fair bit, because the Game Center CX show that inspired the game has a dedicated cult following in the United States and Retro Game Challenge 2 has been played by some fairly big streamers.

Anyway on to the game itself. Retro Game Challenge 2 is a collection of NES and SNES styled mini games loosely bound together by a fairly non-nonsensical meta plot and a ton of nostalgia. You’re assigned “challenges” for the various games that you have to beat, think NES Remix if you’ve played that, it’s actually from the same developer. But not only that there’s a ton of nostalgic little touches, all the mini-games have in game “manuals” to read, there are also in game “gaming magazines” that offer tips and tricks for the games you play, as well as hinting about “up-coming” games. There’s also a “daily challenge” which is a… well challenge that is issued daily, with difficulty that ramps up as you beat them.

The best part of the whole game/micro games is that you can freely play them after they’ve been unlocked. None of the NES Remix’s “We’ve got the whole game here, but you can’t do anything but the challenges” bullshit. You want to play though the entirety of the ten-ish hour NES styled JRPG? Go for it. Indieszero also included some “challenge mode” versions of games from the first Retro Game Challenge game.

Anyway, as the wall of text may have clued you in, I really like this game.

I actually don’t think this one is quite as obscure as you think, since it was given away on Epic a few years ago.

Caves of quid

You mean Caves of Qud, right? 'Cause if that’s not a typo it’s so obscure that even search engines don’t know about it :)

So, is this the same Afterplace?

Oh, thought of another one to list here: Micro Mages. It’s not just NES styled game, but an actual NES game with a emulation wrapper around it for Steam. You actually get a NES ROM when you buy the game that’s playable in all the emulators I’ve thrown it into. I’ve actually got a copy of the rom on my 3DS.

The real interesting thing that the devs put out a video about the challenges of fitting their game onto a NES cart (which is actually how I found out about the game). While the game is kinda small, (I think… I haven’t actually beaten it) it’s well worth the current sale price 99 cents.

Eh, I don’t know how well the game is known, but I’ll throw out A Robot Named Fight, since looking at Metacritic it seems like it never got much mainstream attention. It’s also (unsurprisingly) on sale right now, only $3.24 in the US.

Anyway, the game is a metroidvainia roguelite mashup. The gameplay is more the Metroid side of “metroidvania” being very obviously inspired by Super Metroid. You traverse a randomly generated map, getting unlocks for future runs by accomplishing various things though out that run, think Binding of Issac’s item progression.
