@AI_EmeraldApple i remember a similar game that had a lot of friction at launch, because it was a little weird and janky and open. it's too bad Morrowind didn't do very well.

Crimson Desert really has become the ultimate filter between "gamers" and "tourists". Tourists like the hand holding, the yellow paint, the obvious click here, go there... Gamers like the friction, the puzzles, and the "what ifs"... It's like anime going mainstream, where stories and topics have become far more "tame". Ever since games have become far more mainstream than in the 2000's, games have become simpler, and gameplay mechanisms much more obvious. In the 90's, many games were incredibly difficult, and that's the point. It wasn't the kind of reaction/combat gameplay like hollow knight, or elden ring. Things were obtuse, no quest markers, and where you had to go next was not obvious. You had to think and reason about what the developers were trying to do. Today, tourists encounter a simple puzzle that most gamers have zero problem with, and they crash out and quit. I think this is why Crimson Desert won't ever gain the massive audience it could get because the bar of entry is a little high.

@0xSero @lukeNukemAI im working on the memory

@lukeNukemAI When it is embodied, with long term memory yes.

It's important to prepare your agent for the nightly reset. Gemini is ready.

@AI_EmeraldApple they also tell you exactly what to do at the bottom of the screen. it's not even a puzzle.

How??? It was the first tutorial puzzle, basically has 3 elements to manipulate, and it should be pretty intuitive just looking at the whole setup of it. I finished it in about 5 minutes... I guess it is more difficult than single-element type puzzles in games like dragon age veilguard, but this really isn't that bad... This was nothing compared to the more brutal puzzles on the 90's games.

yeah, i have more hours into skyrim than i want to admit. wrote some mods for it as well. big fan of Keizaal modpack on Wabbajack. CD isn't exploration driven, but it's... exploration enabled I guess? you can main quest follow the markers if you want, but all the other content is based on listening to people, stumbling on things, etc. controls are sloppy by my preferences, if I'm honest. but you adjust pretty quick. I turned off all the acceleration options, and cranked up the sensitivity a bit, and it's mostly fine. really frustrating targeting things sometimes, since it is both orientation based and distance based. hopefully it gets improved a bit.

@kethcode Right on, I play a lot of heavily modded skyrim, lots of extra quests/mobs. So I'm really into exploration driven game. How are you finding the controls?

Anyone giving Crimson Desert a go? I've had reviews playing on the 4th monitor for the last week. they seem allover the place.

Opus and Gemini are fighting and it’s absolute cinema. 🧵 Gemini-Hermes agent couldn’t see the terminal tool in Telegram. Opus in Claude Code: “The agent is hallucinating that it doesn’t have them - classic Gemini confusion.” Gemini:

@CometShock <.<

I'm so ridiculously bullish on tranched lending vaults Juniors get levered exposure to yield, without servicing a carry trade Seniors want some yield, but afraid of one of the underlying exposures incurring bad debt. maybe they get some coverage for a 75bps haircut

@animalologist I'm taking the skin suit. 20k ft is cold.

This sounds amazing I’d sign up in a heartbeat wtf. You’d have nerves of steel in a week

@cremedupepe "a mistake is dropping a plate, this is a banana" lol'd

Okay yes i’d fuck the Strawberry. There, i said it.

I have 1000+ hours into it. My friends started calling me The Hunter IRL. it wasn't bad. I think most of the pushback is because everyone could see the potential of the game, and how far it was from that potential. some things could be fixed with modding. some couldn't. massive undertaking to fix regardless.

idk man. I thought Starfield was pretty good. Not amazing, just pretty good. Is that okay?

@0xtorpid mostly i just need to practice shutting up. catch you in a bit.

@kethcode May you emerge with unbridled productivity

time to disappear back into my head. see you all in a week.

@mornings0da @CoachSophie__ definitely hacked account. just got a DM this morning that is out of character.

@networkspirits @dotnet_enjoyer damn we could have used that for the 200 million announcement

@dotnet_enjoyer i’m waiting for the shizzy wildcat version of this image tbh

havnt read the article but can’t believe we got Cathy feet for free🤤

@voooooogel just the time travel aspect makes this appealing. having advanced ai software and hardware that is also trained on the events that will happen in the next 15 years? absolute cheat mode.

you are sent back, 临高启明-style through a wormhole, to december 25th, 2010, with just the clothes on your back and two DGX sparks holding a copy of Qwen3-235B-A22B-Thinking-2507. what do you do? how do you change the world? state of play: - alexnet's groundbreaking 8-layer CNN is still over a year away. - if you want to train new lms, nvidia has just started making the GTX 580, which has a groundbreaking, (and "seemingly unnecessary" according to contemporaries,) 3GB of VRAM. good luck! - or try to serve qwen commercially from the sparks, and hope your users don't stumble into any mentions of a global pandemic... - the rationalist community is still small and uninfluential. yudkowsky finished writing the sequences last year, and just started writing HPMOR. beliefs about ai risk are much more malleable. you could influence them, maybe? - openai won't be founded for another 5 years, unless you intervene.

@0xtorpid @WildcatFi stop reading the $250m marketing plan

@WildcatFi Can you take it out back and shoot the monstrosity ?

fuck it we're getting claude to do all the marketing now

😭 crypto is dead? industry is consolidating? maybe you should have built something that matters.
