I'll block you if I lose interest in the conversation. That typically happens if it turns political, petty, or if you become annoying and a waste of my time.

@djcue1986 @partialmean8 @AstroCyborg Do you honestly believe that expansions—taking two years to develop, with the scale and complexity of AA to AAA games made by teams of 600+ people—are comparable to mere roster updates? That’s absolutely ridiculous.

You’re insane. 😂

[Vhaal @Vhaal69]

None of this addresses my points. You just handed me a list to prove they had games, but it’s full of remakes, sequels, tech demos, and four versions of the same game. What are you even doing? I’m not defending Xbox—I think both platforms are lacking—but trying to defend Sony is laughable. Keep moving the goalposts all you want, but the fact remains: Sony has no games.

[Vhaal @Vhaal69]

If these games were selling well, they wouldn’t be heading to PC. This shift isn’t expected—this is the first time it’s happened, and you're just making excuses. Historically, price drops always coincided with the release of a slim model. And yes, they may be expansions, but they’re expansions of flagship games, which will likely outsell the majority of these so-called exclusives.

[Vhaal @Vhaal69]

@djcue1986 @partialmean8 @AstroCyborg So what, how does that change the fact that consoles have no games.

[Vhaal @Vhaal69]

@GermanStrands No

[Vhaal @Vhaal69]

They should focus on the core races, with sub-races serving as distinct origins, like Kul Tiran and Zandalari. Lightforged and Void Elves, for example, could be introduced as unlockable or ritual-based transformations within the game, offering substantial gameplay and visual changes. This approach would streamline race options while allowing for meaningful customization and progression.

@onyxicca Would actually love Venthyr.

[Vhaal @Vhaal69]

@GloriousKev @tophatsandgains Spectile over substance. You’re right it’s gross

[Vhaal @Vhaal69]

@djcue1986 @partialmean8 @AstroCyborg I also love the chart is wrong, considering you forgot to add any Blizzard games to the chart, which makes me wonder what else on this is wrong.

[Vhaal @Vhaal69]

They’re not dropping the price of the base model because they’ve recently increased it. Historically, price drops have occurred with the release of slim versions, so if a reduction was planned, it would have happened by now. There’s no compelling reason to upgrade from the PS4 to the base PS5, so why consider transitioning to the PS5 Pro at $700? A PC could offer more value, with access to a broader range of games instead of the mere 27 titles on PS5, many of which are remasters, updates, and tech demos.

@JapanHatesXbox @IconEra_ 🤣

[Vhaal @Vhaal69]

How? Sony can’t even sustain its own exclusives, which is why they’ve started putting them on PC. Sony now finds itself in the same position as Xbox last generation, with the gap between PS5 exclusives and multi-platform releases shrinking. Ironically, the best-performing games on the PS5 are now Xbox Studios titles. It’s about meeting customers where they are, not forcing them onto your hardware.

[Vhaal @Vhaal69]

@Qwik They knew how to create hits, yet they've released fewer than 10 full exclusives, and we're already halfway through the PS5's life cycle.

LLMs are running out of quality text-based data, which is often poor. However, current models, especially in robotics, cloud computing, and similar fields, focus on spatial, visual, and audio data—far superior sources. The best data comes not from humans but the real world itself. By pairing this with advanced training techniques, we can greatly enhance how we utilize the data.

[Vhaal @Vhaal69]

The whole point of synthetic data is to avoid the "Habsburg syndrome." The real issue isn’t just the output of other AI, but the quality of the data itself. While it’s true that we're running out of data, 99% of what's available is low quality and not fit for purpose. Creating synthetic data won’t help if the underlying data isn't up to standard. The focus should be on ensuring data quality, not just generating more of it.

[Vhaal @Vhaal69]

The region known as England is called the British Isles, home to two main ethnic groups: Celts and Anglos. The Celts are divided into two subgroups: the Gaelic, which includes the Irish and Scots, and the Brythonic, which includes the Welsh. Calling someone "English" in certain areas could provoke a strong, even violent, reaction.

[Vhaal @Vhaal69]

Imagine if California, opposing the federal government, declared "Hillbilly" or "Redneck" as official languages to distance themselves from the federal they originally joined for economic reasons. Instead of solving issues, this move would promote slang, trapping large portions of the population in poverty because they couldn't be understood, even within the state.

That’s the situation with Scots—it's a blight on the country. Large portions of the east and west can’t speak proper English, yet they also don’t know their own true language, Gaelic, nor do the majority want to learn it.

[Vhaal @Vhaal69]

Scots isn't a language; it's a dialect derived from English, more akin to slang. The only true native language of Scotland is Gaelic, which is closer to ancient Irish, largely because it's rarely spoken today. The only people who insist Scots is a language are those who struggled with English in school.
