Can he make it illegal to not release bloodborne on PC in nyc?

Cool, Will this be a regular podcast (released on a schedule) or will it be more adhoc based on topics?

They use text-to-speech algorithms on items and locations for voice lines.

I haven’t played the game so I’m not exactly sure what that is going to mean.

As a rule of thumb I prefer fully voiced acted lines. But I don’t mind text-to-speech for accessibility or highly dynamic contents.

To be fair, they claim to not use gen ai for art, which is what people actually care about. Nobody really cares if a games uses it for code. Pretty much every single AAA game is using generative ai for game code. Ai has become a defacto tool for programmers in all industries.

I need the 25 bots who follow me to know how funny I am.

Not a game dev, but am a dev.

It’s possible. Depends on the timeframe and what tech they used.

If they used just basic computer clusters and open source databases, that would be sus in a year.

If they used off-the-shelf clusters like aws GameLift and dbs like oracle, then yeah, probably easily.

Rectangle confirmed.

I have always described it as a fusion of Horizon: Zero Dawn and Rick and Morty.

A sort of fantastical but weird.

I also think cities that want to increase adoption of EVs may be hesitant to add fees to home charging.

Like theoretically a city could just charge an increasing permit for for 50,60,70,80amp services to encourage 30 amp charging. But that could be taken as a sort of ev disincentive.

I think the main reason is there just isn’t much of a cost difference between running a 50 amp cable vs a 30 amp cable.

Oh nice it’s just markdown. I’m ok with that.

Great game, best I’ve played all year. but also only about 40 hours long, I wouldn’t expect it to be in many people’s top played games by playtime.

That doesn’t make sense? Where did you hear that?

Consoles include 1 version of all the art assets. PCs include multiple versions for configuration.

I legitimately thought that came out next month 💀

Why? The only game they released was Avowed.

I would hope that the use of CAD software would mitigate the risk by ensuring everything is validated by some classical calculations/simulations before construction.

Although If a structure has any electronically controlled active stabilization or monitoring, ai generated software could lead to 😬

If you count self driving collisions as engineering failures then it’s already happened.

Though I’m assuming you mean more specifically structural engineering.

I knew I was missing something.

I just couldn’t tell if it was in heat amount or in the assumption that it was a closed system.

I supposed if you were draining refrigerated water from the humidifier you would have hacked together a sort of geothermal heater. Using utility water as a ‘reservoir’.
April 30, 2025 at 3:56 PM
One thing I’m still confused about is when you put humidifiers in the same room as a dehumidifier. Did that bring the temperature up higher than an equivalently powered resistive heater? Or are the humidifiers pulling more watts than I’m expecting.

I didn’t choose subjects, just picked whatever fit in gaps in the major. My commute was ~40mins, so I wanted a compact schedule, I couldn’t easily leave and return.

I took dinosaurs, Russian literature, anthropology, ancient history, symbolic logic, digital art, stars, bioinformatics and geology.
