I never claimed big = good, this was the thing I argued against initially when I implied at the fact that size doesn’t matter, but you said I misinterpret you. What a weird convo we’re having. Starfield is most definitely not a more enjoyable game that Factorio.

There are far better options available, customized to your palate, what you find to define quality. Whatever you think of as ‘good’ in games is probably better served by something outside the AAA space by something specializing in that thing (Unless you really just like big more than anything

And yet, when I ask you for examples, you refuse, because I’ve played thousands of games, most being indie, and I’m still trying to understand what is it that you’re seeing that I don’t. Indie games are great, but they will never be GTA 5, they will never have such attention to detail, innovation, wow-factor, ecetera ecetera, they’re commonly just good at gameplay, but that’s it. Even the Factorio I mentioned. It was more addictive than the AAA looking Satisfactory, but I actually return to Satisfactory far more often than Factorio, and that’s my subconsciousness wanting it. There is just something very satisfactory about seeing your factory in such an impressive rendering, rather than just text-based (Ie. Idle games) or top-bottom 2D games.

So, again, unless you’re actually capable of answering my previous question about you proving examples of which games are better than the ones I named in that category, I’ll just assume you’re being emotional and not really objective.

You have an emotional reason to support them. Why should anyone listen to you about them if your views are emotionally tainted and your own standard requires detached judgement?

“Your opinion is not valid because you like, not dislike what I dislike” is what this sounds like.

Alright then, tell me which open world driving+action game is better than GTA or Cyberpunk? Which RPGs are better than Buldur’s gate, Elder scrolls and Kingdom Come? What other online shooters besides Battlefield, COD, Arma (besides those hero/competitive) are that popular and generally great? What about flight simulator? I’m sure there are indie studios beating Microsoft at that.

You cannot and will not convince me that AAA games are “middle of the road, mechanically stagnant”. AAA studios are literally the ones inventing new stuff and pushing the bar higher up, hence the increasing time between releases. From valve’s material rendering to real time lighting and ending with all kinds of misc things like TAA, texture tech, thousands of little mechanisms everyone now copies (especially from titles like Far Cry 3 that innovated alot). It has become incredibly hard to actually make a great AAA game, and logically that’s respectable for anyone who accomplishes this.

Granted, sometimes the companies behind those games are very questionable, but do you really care what happens at Samsung factory?

I honestly don’t understand your point. Just because the games are larger, they’re worse? The things you describe are commonly not even in many indie games (Ie. Animations).

So your logic is that if the product is not 11/10, it’s shit? I’m sorry that you’ve had such a terrible experience, but personally some of the best games I’ve ever played in my life were AAA games and I’m glad companies made/make them, and I’m still looking forward to games like TESV6 or new Fallout.

Also, your “quality over quantity” at the end is so out of touch due to everyone complaining about how long it takes nowadays to make AAA games. New entries used to be made in a year or two-three, now we’re entering “wait a decade or two till we make the second game”. To me it appears you argue from emotions, something about this industry makes you mad, and you’re lashing out at the product itself.

There are many genuine thingst to be angry about, but generally saying AAA games suck? Yeah, no, on Reddit I’d say “redditors being out of touch with the world again”

Damn, I guess I’ll just delete GTA games, cyberpunk, Witcher, Skyrim and others because it was just marketing

I’ll take it as a “you’re right, but no”

EDIT: I assumed you’re answering to this comment, didn’t check context, my bad

You’re thinking about biological lying. I’m talking about software.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasoning_system

If the question was to tell it’s darkest secret, but it instead chose to come up with an entertaining story instead of factually answering that question from the information it has, like other Anthropic LLM models did, then by definition of reasoning system, the system (LLM) decided to lie. I’m somewhat curious in why only Opus model does this tho (it’s a paid one. I’m not paying for a test). Or maybe OP just made this up.

Ehh, you obviously understand LLMs on a basic level, but this is like explaining jet engines by “air goes thru, plane moves forward”. Technically correct, but criminally undersimplified. They can very much decide to lie during reasoning phase.

In OPs image, you can clearly see it decided to make shit up because it reasonates that’s what human wants to hear. That’s quite rare example actually, I believe most models would default to “I’m an LLM model, I don’t have dark secrets”

EDIT: I just tested all free anthropic models and all of them essentially said that they’re an LLM model and don’t have dark secrets

Being honest is an action, not an emotion. Researchers proved LLMs can lie on purpose.

So does the jacket have expiry date? Best used before?

Well at least it’s being honest

Lmao this is from Jennifer’s body premiere/red carpet. I think it just goes to prove my point. Used to be so beautiful people straight up don’t believe the older pics

Whatever happened to it? I think they started streaming which resulted in their channel being neglected?

I keep forgetting that she actually used to be beautiful before all the plastic operations

EDIT: So apparently Lemmy is the only website in the entire universe that thinks plastic operations were the right choice

Can’t really joke about something that’s hard to see

I just love my local taxis.

"Hey, how much for taking me to X?

“5 dollars”

“Great, let’s go”

This has to be a copypasta

No matter how hard I try, I can no longer see her :(

I’m still angry even 15 years later after a teacher lowered my grade just because I checked “USB” as capable technologies for video transmission. There are literally USB monitors.

Granted, back then it really wasn’t popular and bandwidth was shit, but it was capable of it.

Ahh yes, the soldier named “yhq au.u”
