Ich bin begeisterter Pen & Paper Rollenspieler und habe hauptsächlich Erfahrung mit Pathfinder, Cthulhu und Vampire.

Eine meiner größten Leidenschaften, das Programmieren, habe ich zu meinem Beruf gemacht.

Ansonsten verbringe ich meine Freizeit mit zocken, lesen, sporadisch Gitarre spielen und natürlich meiner Familie.

Not enough space to translate everything into english. Here's the short version:

  • tabletop roleplaying (Pathfinder, Cthulhu)
  • software developer
  • family man
  • guitar

I've been using a MS Sculpt for the past ~9years as main keyboard, and I fear when it dies I won't find a good replacement. tried others over the years and always come back, it's great. Should probably find a store that has stock for a spare while I still can, just in case.

@djlink I'm using the Logitech K860 ergonomic keyboard and I'm really happy with it.
It doesn't have mechanical keys, but I feel very comfortable with the flat keys. The fact that I don't need to press much to register a hit is a plus point for me. 🙂

...to enable a cheat or other effects. 🎮
The Konami Code was created by Gradius developers finding the game too difficult to play through during testing.

They created the cheat code, which gives the player a full set of power-ups (normally attained gradually throughout the game). After entering the sequence using the controller when the game was paused the player received all available power-ups. 🚀

The code was meant to be...

(1/2)

"The developers decided to leave it there, as removing it could result in new bugs and glitches."

This makes me laugh, even though I've seen and worked with code that was as badly tangled as this sounds.
Removing a sequence of button presses that modifies the player abilities shouldn't really be that dangerous. 😅

Wife: "you keep showing the kids movies with dead moms! I'm picking a movie!"

Me: "ok, what did you want to see?"

Wife: "let's go see 'IF'"

(Movie starts. Enter mom into hospital room with cancer headscarf)

Wife: "oh for f--"

@repeatro @TheRetroSven vielleicht ein wenig "Tim in Tibet", "Asterix" oder "Die Schlümpfe" auf dem GameBoy? 😅

Just finished a rewatch of "They Live" and grooving to the amazing end credits song. 😁

@TheRetroSven Golem hat zum 35. Jubiläum einen Artikel veröffentlicht:

Das hat mich bewegt den nochmal anzuschauen.
Ich muss zugeben, dass ich den Film das erste Mal etwas zu langsam fand. Generell passiert jetzt auch nicht übermäßig viel, aber mit dem Vorwissen fand ich den Film beim zweiten Mal viel besser. 🙂

Credit where credit's due, I think is the most infuriating soulslike I've ever played.

Basic enemies two-shotting you. Everyone tracks and follow you from kilometers away. And the "active reload" thing for the stamina sucks.

@hk Nioh is tough. I eventually gave up on it, because it just wasn't fun. The story is bonkers and fun if you manage to advance it, but I found the gameplay very tedious and infuriating.

@mforester@rollenspiel.social avatar

@hk I'm pretty sure Wo Long isn't for me either. 😅
I haven't even looked at it yet.

mforester,
@mforester@rollenspiel.social avatar

@hk yeah, but to be honest, I didn't like the mission style levels either. I'd rather explore a hostile open world with many options, than being forced down one or two paths, one of which I have to beat to advance the game. At least that's how I like my soulslikes. 😅

Holy crap, the art of AI (the good stuff, neural networks and reinforcement learning and designing to solve a specific goal, not Large Lying Models) is on an absolute tear in the world.

This next sentence will sound a bit mysterious if you're not familiar with the game, but: this thing found an optimal wallbang in order to best a human world record on a test track, and also beat the human WR on Hockalicious.

@timixretroplays yes!!! That reminds me of the following talk I watched a few years ago:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLN-t3HN22E
The idea of hooking up an AI to an emulator to have it learn the game and optimize it is fascinating to me. That is way more interesting than all the other stuff that AI is marketed for and probably much less wasteful. 😩
