The more I play 10th edition, the more I think the game system is disappointing. I just find the « rule stacking » that is encouraged in this edition to be illegible when fighting your opponent.

Each unit has a special rule, their attached characters have special rules on top, your army and detachment add extra rules, and stratagems give even more variance.

thelinuxEXP,

It makes it virtually impossible to estimate what each move will result in, and makes you play with movement so cautiously that it slows down the entire game. You try to hide every mm of each mini, because you never know if that basic troop unit isn’t going to completely wreck one of your troops out of the blue with a combo.

It also makes some matchups super spiky, as in « you fail 3 dice throws and you’ve lost the game », which is also very annoying.

And the aura buffs around characters, plus all the rerolls (CP reroll, reroll 1s to hit or wound, reroll the entire roll) just combo way too well with certain units, especially with things like overwatch.

Some basic troop units can become complete death stars in the right place, which is just not how things should play. Elite units should slap, troop units shouldn’t be main damage dealers. I’m still winning more than I’m losing, but I’m not having as much fun as I used to.

Also, please change the mission pack. Leviathan secondary objectives kill the narrative aspect of the game, paradoxically. Having a unit stand in a corner or not shoot / charge to score is just dumb, counter intuitive and heavily emphasizes « big brain » play where each inch of movement matters more than combat.

Winning a game because your elite unit fell out of combat to be able to stand in the opponent’s deployment zone doesn’t feel good compared to slapping their warlord.

@archliberal Honestly, I’d have more fun playing 3rd edition, which is the one I started with 😂
Rules were far more narrative back then, I feel. Maybe less balanced, but more fun overall.

thelinuxEXP,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

Things I would house rule if my friends agreed to (which they don’t):

  • no CP rerolls. They kill the fun heroic moments. « I killed you with a grot! No you don’t, CP reroll »
  • No special weapon rules / rerolls on overwatch. It makes certain units unassailable.
  • No action or location based secondary objectives. They destroy the narrative.
  • if you see only one model, you can only kill one model. If only 1 guy of my unit can see and shoot, then you can also only see one of my models.

Did MKBHD ruin an AI company and their product because of their negative review of it?

No, the bad AI product ruined itself and its company. Just because someone created a business, found funding and created a thing doesn’t mean they should get instant recognition, and a pass for crappy stuff.

Entrepreneurs aren’t your friends, they aren’t superior, they don’t deserve to be coddled. When they make sht products, they should be told that they made sht. MKBHD did their job.

@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@evilroda Yeah, some people are really weird. I’m willing to bet it’s mostly AI tech bros that just want pure positive feedback on anything AI related.

thelinuxEXP,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@hiiaminfi Especially since all the flaws are things that they absolutely should have noticed. They knew it wasn’t ready. They just thought hardware should be handled like how most startups handle software: ship something early even if it’s half broken.

thelinuxEXP,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@squareScarletCougar Yeah, probably because it’s AI related, and criticizing anything linked to that seems to really annoy a bunch of tech bros!

@thelinuxEXP Why did you anonymize/delete your Odysee channel?

thelinuxEXP,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@trivoxel The platform is riddled with weird conspiracy theory videos, white supremacists and other disgusting content, and the owners are not only avoiding any form of moderation, they’re actively supporting that content, so I left about a year ago, like most other creators I know :)

@V0ldek @Jayjader At some point, I worked on a real estate website. We wanted to add little pages describing all the various neighborhoods in major cities, and contracted actual humans to do so, people who lived in said neighborhoods.

Reviewing their work, rewriting parts of it, and fixing mistakes was excruciating, I can’t even imagine trying to do that with the insipid writings of an AI that doesn’t understand the context or the purpose of what is asked of it…

There isn't a single YouTuber covering the Fallout TV series who knows how to properly pronounce "nuclear." Not one.

thelinuxEXP,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@killyourfm Oh no. That might be the only pronunciation mistake that makes me close a video instantly.
« Nucular ». It’s the equivalent of « I should of » when writing something.

thelinuxEXP,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@killyourfm eXpecially kills me every time too. If you can say « special », you can say « especially ». If you can say « clear » you can say « nuclear ».

Hell, I’m French and I can say these words, and us French are notorious for being horrible at pronunciation, even in our own language.

this image generation party trick is going to destroy the planet

“For context, the most carbon-intensive image generation model (stable-diffusion-x1-base-1.0) generates 1,594 grams of COz for 1,000 inferences, which is roughly the equivalent to 4.1 miles driven by an average gasoline-powered passenger vehicle”

@burritojustice « But it will change the world and help so many people become creative! »

« People have always been afraid of new technology, it will happen anyway »

« AI is a net benefit for humanity »

Or any other BS argument, I guess.

Hey @thelinuxEXP is this https://drewdevault.com/2024/04/09/2024-04-09-FDO-conduct-enforcement.html something for the next linux news video, given the popularity of tiling WMs - Hyprland in particular - in your community (according to your community survey)?

In any case, love your videos. Keep up the good work! 👍

thelinuxEXP,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@britter Oh yeah, they’ll tell you that you’re for censorship or against freedom of speech, but they generally fail to understand that this concept only exists when it comes to their government, not to other individuals or companies.

If they spewed their BS in my house, I’d throw them out, so it’s the same on any of my online places. For some reason, they seem to not understand that this is entirely normal 😂

thelinuxEXP,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@britter I Hope so too!

@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

I know I shouldn’t, but I kinda want TikTok to be banned 🙃

Nothing to do with politics or censorship or China, just because I truly despise the content trends there.

Then again, that’s not a good reason to ban anything, YouTube isn’t better, especially in the « Shorts » department, and I don’t even live in the US, so this doesn’t affect me in the slightest.

I guess I’m just disliking the « new » thing. Don’t ban stuff because it’s trash. Or we should also ban TV, I guess.

thelinuxEXP,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@jaketyers Yeah, nowadays, since everything seems to have a political label, if you express an opinion, it will be instantly assumed that this opinion is politically motivated, even when that’s not the case…
