>an LLM that can generate textures to be fed into a human-coded 3d engine
I'm not certain but I think the LLM is also generating the physics itself. It's generating rules based on its training data, e.g. watch a cat walk enough and you can simulate how the cat moves in the generated "world".
Strange that you need the website (author) to tell you how to interpret it. It's like art itself, you're allowed to come up with your own interpretations.
You can definitely beat that for $30. Hit the thrift stores and you can find vintage machines that will greatly outperform this. You may need to replace a belt on some, but many are working just fine.
The author does a good job trying to find nuanced reasons behind the slump, but it's certainly just the money. The prices at every step of the process are exorbitant. The food is not worth the price you pay, end of story. And the table minimums are so high that you don't have time to really settle in and get into that feedback loop described in the article, where you sit there for hours and soak up "free" drinks and make friends.
In my case, the one time I went to Vegas I dropped a hundred on craps and played as carefully as possible, and I was out after 15 minutes. There's only so much you can do when a single bet is $25. The casino got my money efficiently, but they didn't help me generate the positive memories that would convince me to become a repeat customer. Apparently their profits are up, but it feels like a squeeze born from short-term thinking that's going to blow up in their faces eventually.
The weird thing is that half of the uses of the name on that landing page spell it as "Wanderfull". All of the mock-up screencaps use it, and at the bottom with "Be one of the first people shaping Wanderfull" etc.
Because they want to play the game and don't know or care what a "kernel-level anticheat which acts as a rootkit" is. Which probably makes up 99.9% of their userbase.
This is cool! I see others have mentioned the acronyms, I'd also say some of the interjections are kinda lame, like having to guess both aw and aww, ew and eww, and just weird ones like awoo.
I think cutting down the list serves a double purpose of making the game shorter as well. I enjoyed it, but 67 words is a lot to get through for something that should be a quick daily play.
Good point! I like some but not all of the interjections, so they'll be getting more filtered out. And yes, I'll bring the word count even further, there's a sweet spot that it isn't quite hitting yet time wise. Thank you!!
I love the juxtaposition between the serious posts and the funny ones. Great to see "I want to make peace with my father" right next to "Unify the Mongol tribes under one banner".
