If I kept chickens, I would have a net over (we have hawks and other aerial predators as well) to avoid the situation, but if something somehow snuck in, this would be a good thing in my opinion.

I didn’t take it to mean that the AI was exclusively trained on their own images, but good on them if they are.

The AI used was likely trained on sets of data without the consent nor compensation of the people whose works were used.

Could the monarch technically (I know they aren’t typically involved in politics in recent generations) force a change? Is there any way to petition them to do so? I don’t really know the UK system or if this would actually be a good idea.

Souslikes, yes. For metroidvania, I would disagree. You did not mention soulslike in your post, unless I’m blind, or else I would have said nothing.

New metroidvania

Hey, hi everyone. We here at IronRaven decided to make a metroidvania, in the style of Dieselpunk and the 20s, art deco, art nouveau and so on. Tell me, what is the most important thing for you in metroidvanias, besides their appearance?

Aside from the obvious things mentioned about flow, maps, immersion, etc., and to address some of the other things I’ve seen in the comments: configurability. Realize that not everyone will have the same physical abilities, skill, and/or time to play. Give options to people who want to tweak things to be more difficult and likewise for those who want it easier and more accessible.

Then it would be a game I never touch; when there’s no other way to learn than by dying, your game has failed in my opinion. I shouldn’t have to beat my head against some pattern that I can’t discover through lore or elsewhere in the game. I’m in my 40s and used to game competitively in the early 2000s, FWIW.

I never completed Breath of the Wild in large part due to getting something cool and just having it be worthless and broken soon after. I also tend to have very little time to devote to gaming so it just felt like a waste to have to stop, go hunt down something better than randomStickLevel3, and go back to do something again.

If I wanna hoard things or risk a lot to get something cool/strong early, that’s my decision; why do you get to dictate how I play a game? Especially true when some people may not have the same physical ability as you and need to make certain situations play out differently.

Well, absent any other gains they wouldn’t do it and I don’t see any other gains. My only assumption is that it must ultimately be profitable.

It is insanity to me that medication, especially prescription medication, can be advertised anywhere. Fuck the US healthcare system.

In my mid-40s and this is more-or-less what I think as well.

You can look into mbin and other projects as well to see if they better align.

What is the execution path? What indexes are being hit? What are the keys? Can you separate things by, for example, category since dupes wouldn’t typically exist there? There are lots of potential things that might tell you more or improve performance, but this is super vague.

A majority means they rule on their own, minority means they need to work with with some other party/parties, but that will not include the conservatives. They will have the most seats and I presume that’s what they meant by victory.

Edit: corrected a wrong term.

I hate the way it sounds but, at the same time, it is simpler and more regular.

I’ve definitely said both as a speaker of General American. Gershwin even has it in a song lyric written in the 1930s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let’s_Call_the_Whole_Thing_Off#Full_list_of_differences

Thank you!

I really need to finish this game. I got to the inn in the place with darkness (trying to be vague but also kinda forget) which I think is like the beginning of act II? Then life happened and I haven’t touched it since. I don’t remember anything, really, but I also kinda don’t want to start over. Oh well, it’s farming season so this will have to wait until winter anyway.

So, in Japan, this has a couple of functions, but one major one. By keeping salaries low and offering bonuses, employees can basically be only compensated the bare minimum in the case they (a) are no longer wanted (since firing is very hard here), (b) not performing as well as expected for whatever reason, or © the company did particularly poorly.

As mentioned, it ties into one of the levers they have to pull for under-performing or bad-fit employees they might want to get rid of in a country where workers have a fair bit of rights on that front.

On the other, it does make some applications/calculations a little weird as some home loans etc. have repayments that expect those bonus payments (either a higher amount twice-yearly or two extra payments per year). Most companies in Japan pay monthly (and most of those on the 25th or closest preceding business day).

Or, if on mbin, do that in reverse (at least in my case; hot stays stagnant but active is always changing).
