Like Mario and Princess Beach.

I can barely run steam and the games I bought on steam at the same time, which is required for most games. Steam disabled certain features and bloated the software – their launcher takes more resources than actual games. AAA games. (From a decade ago, but still.)

Other launchers might be garbage but the bar seems to be pretty low. Only thing anyone can say is “get a better computer” because in their mind that is a great rebuttal to “why is a game tied to a launcher which takes up 4x as many resources as my entire OS?”

Not SO or it’s methods, I mean the human experience. It can be awkward to be new to it all and to feel the frustration/tunnel vision associated with being stuck on one problem… and then step back and have to dissect your issue, structure your question correctly, etc.

It’s just how it is, for exactly the reasons you stated. You can capture every little problem people face in programming, or you can hone in on useful patterns in goals, problems, and solutions, and educate people on how to see these things.

The idea of SO is a little awkward too I think. With something like Wikipedia we’re presumably in an academic mindset. Carefully gathering information, sources, structuring it all. And even then people can get turned off by the ‘bureaucracy’ or nitpicking or whatever.

When people show up at SO they’re probably more in a “I can’t figure this damn thing out!” mode. We’re struggling with a problem, keeping a bunch of junk in our head, patience being tested, but we’re still expected to have a bit of academic rigor in our question and discourse.

Yeah but a lot of people don’t really know what SO is for. They think you just go there and get help and call it a day. But the entire point is to produce structured questions, discourse, and answers aimed at future readers. Super specific, no-context, or duplicate problems are not useful. If you are not trying to generate useful content, don’t go to SO.

Just look at all the people getting frustrated at being told “you should probably do it a different way.” They really don’t understand that just because they’re asking the question, it’s not all about them.

Isn’t “it’s good enough for most users” a little too close to “it’s good enough to be bought, used for a bit, and then tossed”? Usually computers that were adequate for X stop being able to do X. There’s little to no margin and you can’t upgrade it?

I don’t get it, what makes the output trustworthy? If it seems real, it’s probably real? If it keeps hallucinating something, it must have some truth to it? Seems like the two main mindsets; you can tell by the way it is, and look it keeps saying this.

I’ll try that out. Thanks for the heads up.

That will list formats; get one of the audio only formats

Bonus is that the script works for lots of sites. It can get movies from tubitv for example

I like Pokemon games for the adventure, turn based combat, and polished stable of monsters. Does palworld have those things?

I contributed a viewpoint of someone who has been “replaced” by technology and you are just calling people / comments stupid.

Bet you can’t articulate why

Wouldn’t the artists be jealous of the programmers? You never see artists stick up for programmers being replaced by game engines. Programmers had no problem giving independence to artists. But artists have a huge problem giving back to programmers. I should be able to make a Stardew Valley with no artistic skill just like Stardew Valley was made with no programming skill. We’re leveling the playing field, and look whose whining.

You’re in a thread about an offroad capable vehicle, where people might share their experiences with offroading. They’re sharing their experiences because it’s relevant, not because most people go offroading.

Interesting idea. We could effectively practice eugenics in a way that won’t make people so mad. They’ll have to contend with ideas like free will and personal responsibility before they can go after our program.

Let’s make a list of all the “asocials” we want removed from the gene pool and we can get started.

I’m not reading into it literally, that’s the point. On the surface, Carlin “tells it like it is.” He says things that the people agree with.

You know what? Just look at the praise for Carlin. You’ll see things like “genius” and “prophet” or “brilliant insight.”

Then look at people criticizing him like me. Suddenly people defend his character by pointing out he’s just a comedian, it’s just jokes, judge him as a comedian, it’s not serious, etc.

He’s the Trump of his domain.

In a scenario where the average IQ is 200? Do you understand what you’re talking about? You realize that the majority of people are exactly average, with a bit fuzziness, right? No? Then I guess Carlin is for you.

For starters, his famous “think of how dumb the average person is, half of people are dumber than that.”

Only a small percent of people would be perceptibly below average. Like single digits. It’s circlejerk humor.

And as far as humor goes, I think he’s great. Just not a genius nor a prophet.

Carlin’s entire schtick was anti-intellectual platitudinous. He reminds me of Trump with a sense of humor.
