I might have to install fortnight again for a quick shot at this. I’ve never knowingly voice chatted with an AI yet and want a go.
I’m excited for this sort of thing to be properly implemented in games, it’s only a matter of time, and wouldn’t mind a sneak preview.
In my defence I said “certain kind”. You must have met some. You tell them to press the green box that says [OK] and they just look at the screen confounded. You tell them to use their finger and they try and give it you back saying they don’t know how to work it.
I tried showing one VR, and they just stood there motionless saying it’s not working. I tell him “you need to actually move your arms, like you’re there, press that button in front of you with your actual hands” “what hands” “your real hands holding the controllers you need to actually do it like it’s real”. Stands there motionless for another 10 seconds. “No. It’s not working. It’s not doing anything.” Forget it. Come off the thing.
If there’s one of these people in the room Jackbox will quickly become a tedious chore.
Quick warning about Jackbox, older people may struggle. It’s incredibly simple, nearly foolproof, but there’s just a certain kind of old person who becomes completely toddler-esque useless around technology.
I still give the recommendation a +1 though. It’s cracking fun.
I always liked the idea of twitter but then humans human’d all over it. If everyone agreed to only use it for sensible things I’d love it so much. Useful announcements and updates and so on.
If I follow a singer for instance, I want to hear about concert announcements, album release dates and the like. I don’t want my feed filled with their opinions on global economics or hot dog condiments.
It’s just an invitation though right? He’s not actually planning on actually coming here? This is when you bump into someone and say “yeah let’s get a drink sometime” and you fucking hope they don’t actually do it, right?
Twilight. My wife made me watch the first one and it’s actually got a really interesting world and hints at a lot of decent lore and possible content.
Then they fill the film with close-ups of their eyes meeting across the room for minutes on end.
That man fucks me right off. “Here’s how you can feed your family for a fiver”
Proceeds to use an entire fucking spice rack that’ll cost about 80 quid to get set up properly.
I wish we could say and all agree “right that’s it no more being cunts everybody be cool from now on OK?”
Deporting low income workers
It’s cause dey tuk ur juurrrrbs
and they don’t try to steal the idea
I heard that everyone basically built nukes really fast because they suddenly discovered it was possible. The theory was pretty common among scientists but only when the first one was built they all got to work.
“Which hand is the bean in?”
All foodstuffs banned.
You know what really really really really really bothers me about some of those people? They were loudly talking about how this is just a test of control and they can see who’ll obey the new world order and who’ll rebel and they’re loudly and proudly rebelling telling anyone who’ll listen.
If it really is a test and they’re making a list, why put yourself on the “kill this prick first” list?
Like a dark-side Peter Molyneux
Does it count if I was high? If so this nonsense right here
Did you see that episode of Black Mirror “Common People”?
I agree it’s bleak, but it’s just different. They have youtubers to rally behind. They’ll be fine.
Holy fuck that’s a wild read. That’s some comic-book villain level of dialogue.
It only takes one, and they’re not going to admit to their mum that they tried taking it apart or installing some dodgy stuff on it. Once word gets out they can be “randomly” bricked they’ll stop selling so well.
There’s also the risk that it’ll actually get randomly triggered.
Subtitles on dubbed stuff is weird. The English voice over and the English subtitles are very different from eachother, and I assume what they’re translating from is a 3rd different thing altogether.
That’s just an incredible play
