Interesting. Any response to that last question? I thought those were bots all this time!

Fine, *could literally be.

Let me offer a spin on this: the point-&-click adventure Technobabylon, which is more a staggeringly creative and massive series of escape rooms, and not that much of an open world to explore and revisit.

Perceptibly, it has zero grinding and is to the point with what you've gotta do. It is one of the only point-&-click adventure games that I've beaten; I normally dislike the genre, which speaks volumes to how incredible it is.

Ironically, I couldn't get into Outer Wilds, myself; it sucks to get stuck.

Sable is on a giveaway this week by Epic Games. Use the free-&-open-source Heroic Games Launcher to play it without having to download their platform.

I got bored by FAR's puzzles and didn't finish it but I guess I should persist, huh?

Fun fact: Portal was originally a university student project called Narbacular Drop that got hired by Steam. In a sense from its limited narration and story, it felt a bit more like a proof-of-concept than almost a full-fleshed game to me at times, which, for me, was hands-down Portal 2.

They're great fun to stream and watch, too.

ChatGPT 2 was literally an Excel spreadsheet.

I guesstimate that it's effectively a supermassive autocomplete algo that uses some TOTP-like factor to help it produce "unique" output every time.

And they're running into issues due to increasingly ingesting AI-generated data.

Get your popcorn out! 🍿

Oh, man, I totally didn't know or must've forgotten about SubStr() all this time! Thanks, that does the trick!!

What a nightmare for the victims.

At first I thought this was an ad for the side-scrolling, 5-button strategy game Kingdom.
