Individual low odds things don’t happen frequently, but collectively they happen a lot more often because there are so many low odds things with potential to happen.
Yes. This is why you shouldn’t play the lottery even though you may see people win it fairly frequently. Most people lose, and the cost of anyone winning is higher than the payout. Similarly, the cost for preparing for some incredibly low odds events is higher than the likelihood it’ll ever be useful.
OK, just so you’re aware, since you are being condescending, there’s two pictures. One of them Windows Home is ~10%, one Windows Pro is ~10%.
Both cost money. I don’t know what $ upgrade means, but I’m assuming you mean they cost extra, which both do no matter what, which is what I was talking about at first. It’s not only one that costs extra.
In the post, Linux has a “negative” cost. In reality this means it’s closer to the base cost and the “free” Windows is baked into the price, not actually free. Both versions of windows have a cost. One is higher than the other though.
Space is BIG. Even if your asteroid idea happened, I can confidently say it won’t hit us, because the numbers are so much in favor of them not. Earth is a ridiculously small target compared to the space in the solar system, and we have Jupiter that throws everything out and protects us. It’s not happening, and even if it did it’ll likely hit water, and even if it hits land it likely won’t be near you.
Prepare for a car accident. Don’t prepare for asteroid impact. Youre wasting your time and money in the later and, though the former is relatively unlikely to be needed, it’s actually realistic that it may happen to you. Until you’re prepared for that, for a house fire, for a break in, for a medical emergency, and for anything else that’s relatively likely, you’re wasting your resources.
I think you misunderstood what’s being discussed. In this post, all Windows versions cost money. It’s just they bake it into the advertised price and say Linux is a reduction, which means you’re paying the difference if you choose to go with the default. It isn’t free, no matter how they display it.
Well, we do know for sure it’d take more than this. We don’t know what it would take, but this is far beyond the minimum it could take. If that’s all it is then almost every form of life on Earth would have to be assumed to be conscious.
(Sentience is actually the word we are talking about).
Presumably this is referring to using the online portal to use it. I don’t trust any of those, Chinese or otherwise. I run it locally.
LMStudio is the current software I use to manage LLMs, and I really like it. There’s a user-made app for Android that let’s you use it if you’re on the same network (or if you set it up to use on the internet) There are other options though.
Someone should make a folding dildo.
Yep. I remembering hearing they were going to try to get it back to where you could use keyboard only (though the binds would likely change), but I don’t know if that’s still the plan. The mouse option is great to have for users who refuse to learn keyboard (or just haven’t yet), but it’s so much slower, and it also limits what the macro tool can do.
I only used it once a while ago. What doesn’t it do that Discord does that you also need?
Element is almost identical.
I disagree. It’s been done well before. Where Morrowind fails is only in that it doesn’t display success or failure well. If your character did an animation where they fumbled their attack, or the enemy dodged or blocked, then it would be fine. Instead you just spam attacks that all look the same but only some make your targets health bar go down.
Feedback is always critical. Instead of implementing proper feedback, Bethesda instead simplified it so they don’t have to and all attacks succeed. It still looks and feels bad, but it made it so it doesn’t need to show failures.
That’s true. It’s still on Bethesda, but yeah they could have an agreement. Skyblivion has been in development longer than this though I’m sure, and Bethesda was aware of it and said it was OK, so I’m assuming there’s no agreement like that. If there were then Bethesda would have done something that will make them look really bad, which they do tend to do so it is a possibility.
I totally agree. Morrowind gets a lot of hate for it’s combat (some deserved), but most of the time it’s people not understanding what it’s trying to do. You don’t complain in BG3 when an attack fails, and that’s the same thing Morrowind was doing. It cared about character skills, not player skill.
Yeah, if you create a scrawny character who has never held a blade, grab a dagger, run into a dungeon until you’re exhausted, then try to fight then you should miss. The later games, especially Skyrim, not caring about the character makes every playthrough feel the same and no one has a unique experience.
Morrowind needed animations to convey what was happening, but the foundation is very solid. It’s just the technology at the time limited it and it didn’t communicate what it was doing well.
They don’t have any rights to Oblivion as an IP. They’ve been contracted to make this game and that’s where their rights end.
It can’t if they’ve made legally binding agreements, which I would hope that they have.
I know they’ve said combat is overhauled to be more like Dark Souls. I don’t think we know much else though.
I love when people are just totally confident and wrong on things that are well known and easy to find.
Do you play many indie games? I feel like they’ve taken most of these formulas and really expanded on them, way more than Nintendo will do.
Yeah, an asteroid detection and diversion system makes sense for a society. Those odds aren’t that low and the cost isn’t that high (and the other benefits it provides may may it regain its cost in value). It doesn’t make sense to prepare for a black hole hitting Earth and wiping us out though, for example. The cost would be insane and the likelihood is effectively zero.
However, you as an individual shouldn’t waste your time making an asteroid detection and diversion system. The cost is way more than you can afford and the likelihood is very low compared to events that could happen at any moment. It’s a waste of your resources and time to consider. Preppers are working as individuals usually.
