Informing with a red X takes the need of player perception and throws it out the window. It removes the question of if that target is still a threat when you shoot it and it falls behind a barrel or box. In a game where threat knowledge has incredible value, to just give that knowledge away severely lowers the skill ceiling of the game. It removes returning to a stealth state when detected and fired upon, it removes the ability for injured players to retreat as the enemy knows if they're alive or dead instantly, it gives too much data without having to see the data for yourself.
Now if this was only in monitored space that would make a little more sense since the satellites are keeping tabs on people in their vision.
Let's not just Call of Duty our way to "AAA standards".
This is what happens when humanitarian aid is denied for weeks. When food becomes not only scarce but literally gone, there is no order, there is no line, it's every person for themselves. Just looking at some of the replies to that X post reminds me:
Why I don't touch Birdsite anymore
That many people are reptiles wearing human skin.
That Gaza has become a death camp, run by Israel, overseen by the weakest hands the world could provide.
This isn't "The Director from L4D", this is the human touch of direct influence of game balance globally without the need to release a patch or even a hotfix, and way beyond just how many bots drop at a time. If you want to compare it to something, it might be The Wizard from Oz, pulling the cranks to drive the facade.
If The Director wasn't dumping enough zombies in general, Valve would have to patch The Director to make it do so because it's restricted to its coding limitations. A human Game Master can run it only limited to the variables the devs give him. Open new planets for plundering, change the weather, accuracy of your calldowns, the options are as limited as imagination and time.
Saying this, I don't know why they would leave this all up to Joel, you'd think there'd be a team of 3 to bounce ideas off or something.
Y’all chomping at the bit to direct your hate at the Jewish community and using Israel as an excuse. No different from MAGA.
Ah yes, let's put to paper that anyone who could oppose Israeli occupation and seige on ANY group of people are actually anti-Jew, and then paint those same people as far-right fascists.
That'll win over people and influence them to your cause. Nice work.
This has been planned for months and every Turkish friend I talked to said “if you want anything from Steam before the end of the month I’ll gift it to you, just send the $3” so no, it’s not a bug.
And just to add, Israel could have used this event to strengthen themselves on the world stage, to instead use covert systems to do their work (since they appear to have had been doing zero of that) instead of flattening city blocks and be internationally recognized as being under attack, worthy of those Stars they so brazenly wore, and Hamas being denounced worldwide. Instead they have become the bad guys, falling right into Hamas' hands.
When Jews need people, the world is there. We've been there. Over 75 years. Trillions of dollars in support.
When Israel bombs entire cities of civilians, especially after Israel's extremely-talented-and-borderline-internationally-dangerous spy network failed to detect a VERY coordinated attack with tons of moving parts right over their border, the international stage squints.
I mean, the non-profit board appears, at current glance, to have fired the CEO for their paranoid-delusional beliefs, that this LLM is somehow a real AGI and we are already at a point of a thinking, learning, AI.
Just delusional grandeur on behalf of the board, or they didn't and don't understand what is really going on, which might be why they fired the CEO: for not informing the board, truly, what level OpenAI's AI is actually at. So the board was trying to reign in a beast that is merely a puppy, with information that was wrong.
As I used the word "appears", I am postulating based on how the company is controlled, the non-profit entity, as well as certain statements that board members have made in the past such as Ilya Sutskever (now ex-board??), whose thoughts have likely been influenced by his mentor Geoffrey Hinton who is quoted on 60 Minutes saying the AI is about to be "more intelligent than us". Ilya is known for, beyond his scientific endeavors into AI and his position of Chief Scientist of OpenAI, some odd behavior on his commitment to AI safety though I'm sure his beliefs come from the right place.
There's a lot more to this, for each board member and Sam, but it makes me believe that a large wall was erected in information leading to a paranoid board.
Could be, but words on Twitter and no lawsuit don't really equal getting ejected from your CEO position. Imagine if CEOs got ejected for stuff akin to that, there'd be no CEOs left.
like all the fuckin ads with the hugging families around winter. any educationally normal adult knows everyone just gets more stressed, with travel and gifts and social obligations and everything, but you’re not even allowed to…openly feel that, it seems? it’s like there’s this happiness benchmark you have to reach,...
In other countries, Japan for example, gift giving is almost automated in their society to the point of being able to pick up simple gifts nearly anywhere, fancy fruit or what have you. When you get the easy gifts out of the way you can focus on those 1-4 people that are significant to you. But that wouldn't work in the West, gotta buy all the expensive stuff to take that red into black.
Imagine for me a world where executives want to maximize extraction of funds out of consumers. Now imagine "filler" in video games. Finally, imagine games psychology and how to keep the player running after that carrot on a stick.

This is a $1 dollar increase from what I was paying. But soon subscribers will be $15/month, then $20/month. I wonder how much of deezer’s income actually goes to the artists.
Yep, if you buy the music you actually like, yeah that CD you bought at FYE in 2013 was $12, but that's $12 literally 10 years ago, water under the bridge, and you can still use it however you want to use it.
Meawhile Deezer nuts is making you pay for a CD-worth of content every month. That's 12 CDs a year.
That's probably because Israel literally wears the Star of David on their suit jacket while they perform their genocide, wearing their "oppression" on their sleeve with a need to be "sensitive" to their "plight". It definitely takes balls and commitment, and the US hasn't had balls in the office for 30 years. Who do you think would have the balls?
I mean this is a pretty specific definition. Israel has a record of generally only genociding during the reign of a Democrat president (Battle of Gaza, Operation Cast Lead).
How about the defense of Ukraine which literally helped prevent genocide of Ukranians from Russian aggression? There's value there.
Saying this, I agree, funds for Israel should stop.
I would love to, but until First Past the Post is abolished, the bar can only go lower. It's up to people like you to tell your Senators and Representatives that you don't like this system (I've already done it).
