Not every game has to be an escape from every real life issue. No one's making you play RUST.

Well, lots of games have different logic, so teaching a computer to play them is different.

Edit: for example, it took until 2007 for Checkers to be "solved."

Edit: to clarify more:

Basically no "games against AI" have what would be considered AI in the context of "they taught an AI to play chess/go".

AI opponents in general are based around programming algorithms for optimal play. These algorithms are based on human understanding of the game. Like, you.habe a strategy, so you program the computer to.follow that strategy.

When they say "we taught an AI to play chess/go", what they mean is that they taught an AI the rules of the game and it used machine learning to develop its own strategies.

It's completely different from what an "AI opponent is in overwatch"

Granted, nobody ever told Birdo that spitting eggs from one's mouth is not what female birds (bird-ish things? what the gently caress is a Birdo anyway?) do, but still.

I like the episode of Misfits where a Holocaust survive buys a time travel ability from the power broker and teleports himself back into to Hitler's office to kill him, but he's still an 80 year old guy, so hitler immediately overpowers him. Then hitler finds his cellphone and the nazis win ww2.

I quit Mass Effect 3 after the game tricked me into lying to someone I wanted as an ally. The game was like "tell them about thing" or "tell them about other thing" and I was like, well, they will probably get mad when I them about thing, so I will tell them about other thing first, and then after I told them about other thing, the conversation was over and 20 seconds later they were like "we found out about thing! you loving lied to us and hid this, we're enemies now". And I was like wow gently caress this poo poo.

Five Guys is okay, but it's no contest between it and even mediocre Thai food.

Hot take: Five Guys' fries are not that good.

They're a fry that needs a condiment. I put them on the end of the spectrum of fries that like "this is like a potato" which is like, where steak fries reside, and is the opposite of, say, mcdonald's's "these are addictive as gently caress".

If you have a halfway decent grill, grilling your own burgers can be great. I've made some loving monster burgers this week. My roommate sometimes make these fancy burgers that have like, diced onions and peppers mixed into the patties, but I'm super lazy and I don't do any of that. I just take the ground beef, smash it into patties, a little salt and pepper and chuck em on the grill. I don't even oil it or anything and the come out super good.

We got a cheap old gas grill off of craig's list. It was like 15 bucks.

Pan frying burgers is fine too, but I like to get outside when it's nice and it kind of dirties one less dish.

Grilling with charcoal has its plusses, but it's much more of a pain and a bigger endeavor than just turning gas on and off.

If you go to their website, you can see this:


Those were all posted like 2 months ago.

I remember reading this quote:
“Forty years ago, I set out to make a personal art picture that could hopefully influence generations of viewers for years to come. Today, I’m joined by new daredevils, a team who want to make an interactive version of Apocalypse Now, where you are Captain Benjamin Willard amidst the harsh backdrop of the Vietnam War. I’ve been watching videogames grow into a meaningful way to tell stories, and I’m excited to explore the possibilities for Apocalypse Now for a new platform and a new generation,” said Francis Coppola via official announcement.

And thinking "He thinks that this is somehow going to be meaningful and interactive art."

Very few first person shooters manage to pull that off.

I like that I can eat a bunch of peanuts while I wait for my food.

Edit: after looking at the Apocalypse Now game website, I'm pretty sure it's practically a scam to get Coppola to invest in it. It has no funding, they cancelled their kickstarted. They are planning to release it on the following platforms:

PC
PS4
XBox One
Linux
Mac

Supporting:
PlayStation VR
HTC Vive
Oculus Rift
Samsung Gear VR
Google Daydream View

And here's what they say about cancelling the kickstarter:

quote:

Audience Demographics

Kickstarter’s audience is majority women (as much as 66% depending on the time / day).

Our audience is majority men (80%+).

Pledge Averages

Kickstarter’s audience prefers an average pledge of $25-30.

Our audience prefers a much higher average pledge. How high? Very high for Advisor tiers and around $120 for Enlisted/Officer tiers which matches FIG’s average. Our people want a AAA game, not a bargain project and none of us Backers or Developers, will accept anything less than greatness.

Web Traffic Stats

Kickstarter suffered a very meaningful (hopefully temporary but unexpected) decline in web traffic right before we put up the page there. This decline appears to continue.

We don’t make that up we get it from Amazon’s Alexa web traffic charts. You can see the free version here:

http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/kickstarter.com

We can’t do anything about anybody else’s website. We only have control over our own.

loving LOL

Emphasis mine. Kickstarter is failing and is mostly women, but our website for this game will get more traffic than kickstarter and will have a better chance of people pledging AND AVERAGE OF 120 loving DOLLARS?!

Holy poo poo.

I'm so stoked that I'm adding extra letters to things...

For real, though, I'm guessing they put everything they had into recreating scenes from the movie in like, whatever game engine (probably the Unreal whatever) so they could pitch it to Coppola, who was like "wow, if you can get funding we can collaborate on this" and then... well, they couldn't, because everyone who gives a poo poo about Apocalypse Now doesn't really care about movie tie-in games, and the people who drop $60 bucks on every new CoD aren't going to drop more than $120 dollars for some single player thing.

Is there a meaningful difference between fanart and fanfiction, really

Well, I think that depends on the if the fanart has a narrative aspect to it, and whether that aspect is a creation of the artist, or a depiction of an event in the source material.

Like, it's not fanfiction to draw a picture of some that happened in the source material. Like, Sephiroth killing Aeris. But if you draw a picture of Cloud and Sephiroth making out, your fan art is also fan fiction.
