I've been playing a lot of The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy. As someone who enjoyed the Zero Escape games but had never played a Danganronpa, I was unsure about this one, but the demo really gripped me. It plays great on the Deck. The back buttons have been nice for skipping through the VN portions since my A button has gotten loud and clicky.
That game is really long and I'm trying to pace myself though, so I've now also picked up Mina the Hollower. I didn't like the demo, and am not a fan of the retro aesthetic, but I downloaded it to try it out based on the glowing reviews. I don't know what all they changed from the demo, but I was hooked almost right away. It's hard starting out, but satisfying and snappy to play, and the GBC-style graphics are better (more readable) on the smaller screen of the Deck than on a TV.
Nothing really hits the same as Outer Wilds unfortunately. I'll second Curse of the Golden Idol as another game to check out. Similar to Obra Dinn, but I liked it better in some ways.
I don't think Wheel of Time would be that hard to adapt if you just made it animated (to
avoid insane photorealistic CGI budgets) and aggressively streamlined the middle books (which are a slog anyways).
Ah you're right, I had missed that. I've been following this story since the murders (I live in the Bay Area), so most of the article was very familiar. I'm glad she said sorry, but I wish it hadn't taken years and very lenient sentencing to get there.
In what ways did she show remorse? After the murders, she transferred many of her financial assets away such that the family of the victims couldn't sue for them in a civil lawsuit. That doesn't sound like remorse to me. Also AFAIK, she has never apologized, despite not contesting.
I don't think she needs to rot in prison necessarily, but she shouldn't be allowed ever drive again at a minimum.
But it's not just that "they effectively trained their model using OpenAI's model". The point Ed goes on to make is why hasn't OpenAI done the same thing? The marvel of DeepSeek is how much more efficient it is, whereas Big Tech keeps insisting that they need ever bigger data centers.
Wait until the fascists don't win the election? Right now that makes the most difference, and then later we can hold Harris and the Democrats to be better.
Normally I'd agree with that advice, but it took me the whole first season to get hooked by the show. After about 5 episodes I was ready to call it quits, but my partner who had seen it told me to keep watching, and they were right! Loved every minute of it from then on.
There's a lot of things I'd rather have, but we're not dealing in fantasy. What non-fascist options exist right now, or could reasonably be created before this year's election?
Elixir. It was strange at first, but once I got the hang of it I fell in love. It's a really well thought out language with just the right amount of features, has surprisingly good libraries, and is just really versatile.
