Not to take away from this beautiful piece of art, but it's a take on "reddit silver", an equally silly pic of a MSPaint coin that's used on reddit as a tongue-in-cheek (and free) alternative for reddit gold awards.

Beyond the simple reason "don't have money for that right now", it became especially popular since lots of people wanted to show appreciation for posts without supporting reddit's model.

Honestly, I would almost agree with that, if the damn thing was not so crappily made.

I've replaced way too many drifting sticks and broken joycon rails. Also needed to replace the backplate that broke around the corners because it's made of that crappy brittle plastic, and had to replace the internal fan that was dying and started make helicopter noises.

Also its wireless is shit, getting the poorest WiFi signal of any device I have, and having joycon Bluetooth fail when I'm three meters away if I'm not in the right position.

Love the games, like the concept, hate the execution.

Honest question, why would you want a medical LLM anyway? Other kinds of AI, sure, like diagnosis help through pattern learning on medical imaging, etc, that I can understand.

How is a language based approach that completely abstracts away actual knowledge, and just tries to sound "good enough" any kind of useful in a medical workflow?

C'est plutôt vrai. Depuis un moment j'étais beaucoup plus sur France Détendue que sur France, j'en avais marre de l'ambiance générale.

Depends on how low you want it to drop.

On the EU e-shop (seems to be similar for the US one) Breath of the Wild has regular 30% discounts starting about one year after release. It's been 6 years, it never went lower, and probably never will.

Same for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It's been almost 10 years since the original release of Mario Kart 8, and eshop sales never go under 30%.

Nintendo is known for keeping their games mostly full price. The only games that get big sales are the ones that didn't perform as well as they wanted, and even that is becoming rare.

One thing I love about Dead Cells is how every level feels different. There is always some unique gimmick or special features or a very specific level structure etc...

The DLC levels are no exception, and just for that I'd say they're worth it.

It does look like so. That link didn't work for me either.

Persona is technically a spin-off series, the main series is Megami Tensei (often called megaten for short) and is sort of a shared universe for a lot of games.

Shin Megami Tensei, Devil Survivor, Devil Summoner, Catherine (sort of), Tokyo Mirage Session (very loosely connected) are some of them.

They're all urban fantasy, mostly set in Tokyo. Protagonists are almost always a group of Tokyo students caught in a sudden demon invasion. Demon in this context is actually any kind of supernatural beings people can believe in, including actual demons from hell, gods from all mythologies, folklore creatures, angels, urban legends, ghosts, legendary beasts and heroes, whatever.

Another main concept of that series is the Demon Summoning Program, a way for humans to contract and summon demons to their side using a computer or a handheld device of sorts. So there is generally a creature collecting element to those, like a dark and violent Pokémon that actually predates Pokémon. Rather original, lots of these games let you negotiate with enemy encounters to try to recruit them.

Oh yeah, acrobatics and athletics, the two skills that go up every time you jump and run. Good ways to fuck your progression both.

Also the social skills, Mercantile and Speechcraft.

Doing the hermit's cooking tutorial fully actually makes that Great Plateau mountain even easier, because not only you'd learn how cooking works but he'd also give you the warm doublet right away.

Most of the mountain (all? except maybe a small area around the summit) is only level 1-cold, so the doublet is enough even without cooking.

I think the worst game I've ever played regarding skill progression is Oblivion.

Honestly, that game's levelling is completely busted. Basically your class has a couple major and minor skills. You gain skill levels automatically by using them, and when you got enough levels in your class skills, you are supposed to rest and gain a character level.

Almost everything in Oblivion is levelled to match your character's level. Gaining a level only serves three purposes : gaining a very small amount of health, gaining a few points in two stats depending on which skills you've used ... And most of all spawning more, stronger enemies.

Lots of skills in Oblivion are not directly (or absolutely not at all) combat-related. Lots of default classes come with quite a few of them as major or minor skills. And those that don't come with several damage-related and several defence-related skills.

Progressing in non-combat skills, or in too many at once in a "master of none" fashion, will make your game impossible. "Playing well" requires knowing and exploiting this by blocking your level up until you've maxed the right skill. Or even having some of your favourite skills not class skills at all.

This is really not my idea of fun character progression.
