Climbing between the same three tree branches was not my idea of fun…

I played this one purely for Desmond’s story. I found everything about Connor’s story utterly tedious and the setting meant that the buildings were awful for traversal.

A wasteland that one can throw a stone across doesn’t feel like much of a wasteland to me. I don’t want realism, just big enough that I can suspend my disbelief. I want to get immersed but a “town” with six people isn’t a godsdamned town.

My go-to “too big” is True Crime: Streets of LA. If memory serves it’s a decent chunk of LA at 1:1 scale.

It’s far too big and there’s not much to do. It doesn’t help that the game is dross.

I would argue that Fallout 3’s map is ridiculously tiny.

I use Lawnchair for that.

At least for me it’s /etc/caddy/CaddyFile

I’ve got another one - look at my content and suggest hashtags that are relevant and popular.

Can you give us your config file?

I find it useful for doing tedious stuff that I can easily review - writing argparsers for functions I’ve written, for example.

I’ve yet to see AI for any of the things I’d actually like it for. It’d be good if I could use it as a natural language compatible filter for my feeds, for example. I’m interested in gaming news but have zero interest in a number of popular genres, settings, and so forth. Having an AI look at the feed and be able to spot the rough shape of stuff I don’t care about and throw it away would be useful to me and mistakes wouldn’t matter.

Similarly I could do with something on the desktop that helps me keep my files tidy. Learn the way I’d like to do things and help me keep things sorted. If unsure, learn when I’m likely to be willing to answer questions and ask for clarification then. Worst case scenario it misfiles something and there’s an interface to ask it “the file about the thing - where is that? It’s not where I would expect”.

Instead I’ve got shit like “let us summarise email for you”. If the email is long enough that I’d need a summary then it’s too important to be entrusted to the Hallucinatron 5000. If it’s short enough that it would be safe then there’s zero time saved for me. A few sentences? What an insurmountable challenge - help me, Twatbot 2.0.

Is that bad?

Whilst I can’t be bothered to look it up on my phone - we have hard data that disproves this link, last I checked.

At least for me, not for a second. I have distinctive physical traits from my father.

Saints Row (2022) had some of my flavour of silliness.

Which is fair enough and totally reasonable - it was purely in the context of that comment it seemed odd. You had a device that actually uses the architecture that Macs use and one that used an architecture that they don’t but… yeah. It’s not important, it just made me chuckle.

…and groan about the march of time.

But the Switch and beyond use ARM, the architecture Macs have used for the last five years? It just seemed an odd thing to mention given how long it’s been since Macs used PPC. I know they used to, but I’m old enough to have used 68000k Macs too so of course I remember that time.

I’m confused by your first sentence - the last machines they made that used PPC were in 2005. To me it reads like you’re correcting me but saying exactly the same thing…?

The fact that Macs stopped using the architecture twenty years ago makes it bit of an odd connection, I would argue. As you say, the 360 used the architecture far more recently and over 84 million of those were sold. It’s not like it was some obscure device.

Mac haven’t used PowerPC since 2005.

I suppose if you’re that far right the gap between yourself and other points on the political spectrum is quite a gulf.
