  • I use it while logged on to keep trying to sway people over to Lemmy, haha. After all, that's how I found this place...

  • I know. I tried it.

    water spout planet and couldn't figure out where to go or what to do to get the ship out of the trees and just got frustrated and gave up because it was already sort of a slog to get even there in the first place, too.

    I'm not the only one; a friend of mine is big into story and mechanics games but it just didn't click for him, either. Some of us are just inevitably in the minority.

  • Interesting, thanks for the recommendation; I'd never heard of this before.

  • But what have you specifically learned from it to now be able to do if you no longer had it? That's the question...

  • it was closed because it's the same question that was asked 20 other times, and all the solutions don't actually work.

    This has absolutely been my experience as well, yeah. I rarely go straight to LLMs first but sometimes I'm not comfortable with simply posting my problem on Reddit and waiting (or posting on Lemmy and waiting forever lol), since it isn't always that simple or convenient to first anonymize data before getting public help, nor do people even always reply, leaving me back to square one with time wasted. I am by far the techiest person in my company (and I barely know anything relative to full-time programmers), so there sure isn't anyone at work who I could ask for help, haha.

    I don't go to LLMs often, and they sure messed up a lot even just 2 years ago, but they've come an impressively long way from the unintelligible-text and six-fingers era (despite still occasionally messing up nowadays) and have legitimately optimized my formulae dramatically in both function and legibility, such as by showing me LET() that I didn't even know existed. While I've been meaning to take an online course on spreadsheets and just haven't gotten around to it yet, I try to learn from how the model did XYZ right away but it's nice to have a personal, on-demand tutor, as long as you're always aware of the fact that what it says could be garbage, despite it speaking so confidently. I think for actual, entire vibe-coded products, it's much harder to learn what the heck it's doing versus just simple one-liners. Anyway, on-device and FOSS LLMs make for better compromises, I think, though their quality is noticeably poorer.

    The reason I try to avoid "AI" use is not The Dumbening™ but because of the ecological impact, yet I contend that spending hours and hours trying to traditionally solve a problem in frustration is also harmful in its own ways... It's a decent tool of last resort and the Stupids are merely the ones treating it as a line of first defense against everything.

  • I don't own the game and don't think it'd be my type, but if you ever wanna play Hellcard, I'm down!

  • green-blooded

    Dude, spoilers!

  • Interesting, I hadn't thought of it that way... fair!

  • Agreed, I'm not sure of why LocalSend is so well-received when I've literally been unable to get devices to even see each other, ever, even when they've been on the same network; I've tried across multiple networks (all devices on the same network each time). Literally ToffeeShare is way easier. PlainApp I've had some success with as well. Bluetooth works but not all devices take it, nor Quick Share.

  • I feel like the entire, boring indie game Regions of Ruin was carried by its epic music.

  • What about it was mediocre?!

  • Homeworld could have done so much more with its 3D premise, yeah, but man, that tutorial music is haunting!

  • Anyone who wants to try Linux but is scared of or reluctant about anything about the process at all: talk to me! There are multiple ways to try it with zero change to your system, like Oracle VirtualBox or a USB flash drive.
