I was a Content Creator. Now I answer phones and maintain spreadsheets. Upskilling into software development.

Compare this with the 13 seconds for another boss fight. The Guide said: "At the bottom of the pit is a fearsome Nevron, Bènniseur."

So I spent TEN MINUTES preparing my skills and pictos only for it to be all over after the first attack from one Maelle.

One million damage: 9,999 damage at a time. 0/10 do not recommend.

Just because you can take on Frozen Hearts, doesn't mean you should until you have a way to limit break.

[John McLeish @gamefreak431]

The outfits, pictos, and XP gain are worth the trip though.

I'm so back

[John McLeish @gamefreak431]

@kidkerrigan Ohhh was this that one! I'm so out of the loop on this game.

The only thing I'd heard was that it's made by one of the Assassin's Creed people and I was like "I like Assassin's Creed" and the trailer supported that with parkour fights.

I also heard there's a court case?

[John McLeish @gamefreak431]

First time I've seen a trailer for a game and had no idea what it was about.

The only two things I (maybe?) know are:
1. It's set in 1666
2. Takes place in Amsterdam

Got the prologue (a.k.a a fancy demo) fired up and keen to find out!

[John McLeish @gamefreak431]

Ok, I understand why it's called a prologue. No real gameplay, just a ton of plot set up.

I like what I saw of the plot, but that tells me nothing about if I want to spend time in the gameplay loop discovering that story.

If you want to know what the game is about, try it.

[John McLeish @gamefreak431]

I love this, shoutout to everyone working hard to bring us moments of warmth and joy in a cold universe.

[John McLeish @gamefreak431]

I knew it!

Good read, I think Dave and I would get along just great. I’m also firmly in the camp of AI is great and we should all be using it but we need better measured outcome-oriented analysis of it. https://t.co/95wpGcAjU5

[John McLeish @gamefreak431]

The irony of X congratulating me on figuring out I'm human and can do more stuff after posting a whinge about AI is not lost on me.

[John McLeish @gamefreak431]

@kidkerrigan @Google @GeminiApp It should be the assistant takes the query, then hands it off to AI if it can't handle it.

So if I say "turn off the light" the assistant can handle that. But if I say "Make an appointment with my dentist for next Tuesday" that is pushed to the AI.

[John McLeish @gamefreak431]

@kidkerrigan @Google @GeminiApp This is the part that truly shits me. It's an extra layer between me and the function I want to run that doesn't need to be there.

Smarthome AI makes sense (we all want that Majel Barrett/Paul Bettany experience) but the tech is undercooked and the architecture is backwards.

[John McLeish @gamefreak431]

@kidkerrigan @Google @GeminiApp Occasionally this fails as well, because Spotify isn't above being shit too.

So I tell Google Home to play the playlist, it hallucinates some random Spotify playlist (occasionally it's a banger so silver linings?)

Then as it's playing, I change it from the Spotify app.

[John McLeish @gamefreak431]

@kidkerrigan @Google @GeminiApp I had this problem with the Google Assistant too. AI is just tokenmaxxing failing harder at the same job.

My way around has been to just cast whatever playlist from Spotify to that speaker on my phone.

I’m officially db pilled

[Casey Muratori @cmuratori]

One of the things I would love to see from PC monitor reviewers is benchmarks for how long it takes to start using the monitor. How long does it take to come back from sleep? How long does it take to switch inputs? I feel like some of the lag here has gotten unacceptably long.

[Nina Nikolic 💫 Kerri @kidkerrigan]

Just pretend it’s not called “God of War” and then ✨ enjoy the art 💕

If it had a different franchise name you’d be like OMG WOW SO COOL CRAZY and then make memes about how Laufey isn’t attractive enough anyway and use AI to “fix” it, right?
