Can AI make video games more immersive? Some studios turn to AI-fueled NPCs for more interaction
  • Did any of you guys see those Skyrim AI NPC mods that were floating around YouTube around a year ago? I think they kept getting taken down for some reason.

    But honestly it convinced me that that’s a good way to go. They were able to detect what the player was doing. For instance, if you dropped a sword on the ground, they would be like “hey don’t forget that iron greatsword on your way out”. You could also ask it for advice on how to complete your quest or what they knew about someone.

    If the AI is somehow locked to only knowing information about the video game they’re in, it could really boost the immersion I think. But I think they should have to use a real voice actor to train the AI to mimic their voice or something like that.

  • PSA: Don't search cute animals on youtube. Your recommendations on the sidebar will have thumbnails of animals in distress for clicks.
  • I was gunna comment this too, it’s becoming a real serious problem. These disgusting people saw how lucrative these animal rescue videos have become and have started intentionally putting these animals (usually young puppies and kittens) in danger and hurting them only to act like they’re “saving” them. It’s so horrific.

  • Studying colonisation and Aboriginal resistance to be mandatory in NSW high schools
  • I studied abroad in Australia for a semester (from the United States) and took an Aboriginal Studies course and was incredibly glad I did. It was crazy to see the parallels to how the Native Americans were treated/colonized here in the Americas. Truly barbaric stuff. They’ve got something called the Lost Generation where pretty much all of the children born during a certain time period were forcibly taken from their families and forced to become “civilized”.

    It was really cool learning about how the aboriginals would do these “prescribed burns” where they would purposefully start small wildfires to burn away the undergrowth, which would in turn enrich the soil with lots of carbon. Really neat stuff

  • “Other kings said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So, I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp, but the fourth one... stayed up! And that's what you're gonna get, lad: the strongest castle in these islands.”

  • How to comment images from mobile?

    Is there a way to easily add photos to comments? I’m using the IOS version, curious is anyone had any suggestions.
