Sims 3 tried to approximate that, though in reality Sims that you couldn’t see around at the moment had a very simple alternate simulation instead of the full sim for those you were watching.

The illusion mostly worked and you technically had a full seamless small town you could visit and interact directly with.

Sims 3 was also an unstable nightmare, but it was made for what is now 15-year-old hardware and, I assume, held together with shoestrings.

They got rid of the seamless part in 4, instead splitting the world in tiny groups of a couple buildings each, meaning even EA probably thought the open town was too much trouble. Too bad because the separate blocks are a lot more boring too… Like most of the Sims 4 really.

I was wondering what that skunk was doing with a bone.

TIL skunks are omnivorous and occasionally eat carcasses. Huh.

Anyway, no matter from which parts of the world it’s trained, we’re talking about 2024 Facebook content. We’ve seen what Reddit does to an AI.

Can’t wait for meta’s cultured AI to share its wisdom with us.

I got the bro to bra mutation (or I suspected it anyway) but, that’s not the main joke IMO.

I mean, the brofish. They’re fish in a tank. They’re excited about saying “bro”. A human being had that idea and made a comic about it. I don’t know about others, but that’s the funny part to me.

EU cultural values include resisting against corporations doing whatever they want with our data. Let’s see meta try to reflect those.

From all I’ve seen till now, looks like the standard Heathcliff experience to me.

Sure it’s profitable, but it’s also (correctly) seen as a manipulative, and some companies have stopped using those.

As I said Nintendo and Xbox store used to do that, but they transitioned to prices in real money quite some time ago, and if they got a wallet, they let you fill it with the exact amount of what you’re buying. Same with PS store, most PC game stores, even freaking playdate catalogue and itch.io where the average payment must be like $3.

I expect that from shitty mobile games, because I know mobile gaming monetization is fucked forever, but I didn’t know major publishers still used that garbage unemptiable wallet strategy.

At the beginning of Smash Bros Ultimate, some people jokingly tried to make “Smush” a thing (since the previous, fourth game, officially Super Smash Bros for 3DS/for Wii U, was often referred to as Sm4sh for short).

Wow. What a load of crap indeed.

I thought that credit shit died after the 7th gen and its wii/xbox points.

That it still exists, only for a single game baffles me.

Extremely positive actual roguelike? I need to try that.

Beneficial AGI Summit

Oh good, they’re the ones who want a nice AI overlord.

It would absolutely be a privacy concern if someone without the rights to access this data could access it from the computer.

My understanding is that it’s the same account logged on both devices. Computers are multi-users devices. No technology ever would protect your secret stuff from someone you’ve just shared your personal account with.

It’s a problem that deletion is not perfectly synchronized, yes. It certainly is a privacy risk because an unauthorized intruder could find them. But in this particular case, there’s no intrusion. The wife just had normal access to these messages in the first place.

I generally don’t like Apple, but I think crying about privacy violation because someone you’re willingly sharing your account with saw your stuff is not reasonable.

Shit hasn’t got real until I am standing up and have tried three different controllers.

Je savais même pas qu’il y avait un JT sur Arte perso.

A friend of mine once showed me that he played Ark on the Switch. At that point I didn’t even know there was a Switch port, and I was wondering how playable it could be.

Ten minutes in : holy hell what a mess.

I am almost certain Smash bros’s competitive, online players is a tiny sliver of its user base. The rest doesn’t care much where their favourite characters are in the current meta.

For casual to average players, almost any character is viable. Only at high level do a few characters dominate the whole game.

Dans le meilleur des cas, j’ai pas beaucoup d’espoir qu’il mette sa menace à exécution malheureusement…

J’aime pas beaucoup les têtes de LFI (le plus gros handicap qu’ils traînent depuis toujours), mais la candidate par chez moi est bien, et pour des législatives, c’est le principal.

Si ça peut faire fuir la honte du PAF en plus…
