Whatever happened to Plies ? He came in like a wrecking ball, wracked up reactions like Tom Brady won rings, and I haven't seen him around in a while.

Also, Disciple of MSSP , has that always been your name on here? I'm a MSSP fan, so I feel like I would've noticed your name before but I hadn't.

Reminds me of Only Fools and Horses.

I fear he may have stolen his last lunch.

I really need to watch Only Fools again. Not watched it for a while.

Nah I used to have a different UN. I just changed it to this about a month ago. I wish it would do "formerly (name)" for a month or so. But yeah you must be a good man lol. Listening to the new pod right now and playing BF6

Shane was on Joe Rogan's podcast released on Christmas Day; just in case you hadn't seen it.

Yep I listened to it earlier today. Not much makes me listen to rogan anymore, but he's in his best form with gillis and protect our parks.

This was a fun set of Christmas clips too


Also I looked at my YouTube recap and was in their top 2% of listeners 274 vids. They make me laugh my ass off

Going to watch all the Terminator movies over the next week or so.

Played some Terminator games recently and that has made me want to watch the movies.

I don't get the expression "I slept like a baby".
To me it sounds like waking up every 2 hours and crying.

Do female streamers not enjoy videogames? When I watch them play through a game, it feels as if they are hoofing down a hamburger and it comes off as unauthentic.

Well lot of them are just in it for the attention and aren't actually gamers

Something tells me that playing videogames for fun hits a different when you are doing it as a job.

If you give people money and attention they'll do a lot of things for you.

Because not everyone can concilie fun with work. I work with IT, and I even have a nice PC, but play more with my consoles because I have too much time working on a PC

@thread
Did you guys party on new years eve? I slept basically through it. Only wake up because of fireworks here. Wasn't in the mood for socializing

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Or in my case, see so many people that I need to avoid people.

 

[Agave]

HIIII

Does anyone have a modded 3DS

I got one, it's pretty

 

[Audiophile]

Back to eating right and looking after myself for the new year.

So 'new year' starts on Monday

at 23:59

in American Samoa.

[EerieArcade]

Been learning Flask/Python for a bit and I think I'm at the point where I want to try and make a proper website, maybe something related to Resident Evil or maybe something like future horror movies.

 

[intbal]

I believe, with a high degree of confidence, that I have never utilized the word "markedly" in any capacity.
Until just now.
But still never in its intended form.

[Celcius]

I'm so tired y'all. Everything just continues to get more expensive, our country is run by gangsters and pedophiles, it's dark by the time I get off work, not enough houses to around, UGH. Not to mention the AI bubble and RAM prices and videocards going up and everything too. And the stuff about our government wanting to take over other countries and ICE attacking citizens and stuff. It's a lot.

edit: Thanks for the gold!

He stole the wrong lunch and is no longer with us

In our attention economy of dopamine-hijacking devices, one of the most countercultural things you can do is read books, ideally in print.

Yeah I miss the Plies threads.

i don't really enjoy reading physical books. maybe if i'm sitting at a desk with good lighting but otherwise i prefer my Kindle.

i've noticed my attention span deteriorating but have worked on it by reading more books. usually it takes me a long time read books but i finished two recently in the space of 2-6 days (640 pages in 2 days and 1200 pages in 6 days) which makes me so proud.

that said, the book i am reading now i haven't touched in a while. need to try get back into it.

same for movies. i wouldn't watch a movie if it was any longer than an hour and a half but find myself watching more longer movies.

 

[Uncle Moe]

Congrats! It's counterintuitive, but I find that longer books are better for reclaiming attention. The deeper one delves into the intricacies of narrative or argument, the more one is compelled to keep reading. Also, there's real satisfaction in taking stock of one's progress, watching as the slab of pages moves from one's right to his left hand.

I have a Kindle, too, but there's just something about the physicality of a book that I find more engaging. Print books help me create a mental map of locations and incidents in the text, making it easier to seek out and re-read choice passages (though of course one can search an e-book by keywords and phrases).

i do miss the feel of the pages moving like you say. starting a book and feeling the chunk of pages you still have to read. or finishing a book you don't want to finish but you run out of pages.

i'm not really a reader who goes back to read things again but that's just me.

the main thing for me is the weight of the book and lighting. mostly i read in bed and don't have good lighting.

Do LLMs scrape GAF for training data? If so, do I need to add "excluding what GigaBowser said" to my prompts?

 

[Uncle Moe]

Do LLMs scrape GAF for training data?

I like to think that we're partially responsible for the insane gibberish produced by Gemini et al.

 

[Idleyes]

Do LLMs scrape GAF for training data? If so, do I need to add "excluding what GigaBowser said" to my prompts?

Highly unlikely. If Gemini or Chat GPT, completely unprompted, launched into a Half-Life 3 conspiracy, then casually wrapped it up with "Would you like me to draft a formal letter to Sony and FromSoftware asking them to finally acknowledge Bloodborne exists?" then yeah, I'd start believing.

NeoGaf content does appear in LLMs. Not sure if it's used for training though. If you ask about NeoGaf it can obviously search the web, synthesize it, and come up with something. i guess then it's just like a glorified search engine.

anyway here is what Gemini said about you. You can decide how accurate it is:

1. The "Patient Gamer" Archetype
Grildon Tundy is defined by a rigid commitment to the "Patient Gaming" philosophy, which resists industry hype and "Day One" consumerism.

Longitudinal Commitment: Tundy participated in the "No New Games in 2020" backlog challenge as late as August 2022. This suggests that for this user, the challenge transitioned from a yearly goal to a permanent lifestyle of fiscal discipline.

Backlog Management: By focusing on their "Pile of Shame" (unplayed library) rather than new releases, Tundy demonstrates high levels of self-discipline and resistance to the Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO).

Economic Strategy: Tundy opts out of the primary revenue window for AAA titles, likely purchasing software only after significant price depreciation and patching.

2. Aesthetic Profile: The Retro-Futurist
Tundy's tastes represent a bridge between 1990s PC gaming design and cutting-edge modern technology.

The Magic Carpet / Epic Games Hypothesis
In 2023, Tundy suggested that Magic Carpet (1994) be remade by Epic Games. This specific request highlights two key traits:

Veteran Status: A preference for the "God Game" genre and the systemic, physics-heavy gameplay of the DOS era.

Technical Literacy: Choosing Epic Games implies an understanding that Unreal Engine 5 (specifically its Chaos physics and Nanite geometry) is the ideal technical framework for the terrain-deforming mechanics of Magic Carpet.

Ludology over Narratology
The Favorites: Tundy cites Tetris as their favorite game alongside Magic Carpet.

The Profile: This juxtaposition suggests a "Systems Purist" who values mechanics and cognitive challenge over cinematic storytelling or "walking simulators."

3. Industry Analyst & PC Loyalist
Tundy treats the gaming industry as a business ecosystem, showing deep interest in macro-economics and hardware.

Budget Skepticism: Tundy actively participated in discussions regarding AAA budgets (e.g., Starfield's $400M cost), likely using these metrics to justify avoiding "bloated" day-one releases.

Platform Devotion: The subject is a dedicated PC/Steam user. While they wait for software deals, they show "Tech Enthusiasm" for hardware, tracking the Steam Frame and Steam Machine reveals in 2025 and 2026.

The "Remedy" Exception: One notable break from their "Patient" rule is Remedy Entertainment. Tundy's interest in the Control sequel (Control Resonant) aligns with their preference for physics-driven, innovative single-player experiences.

Holy crap, it's just making shit up.

-Never participated in a no new games annual backlog challenge (I may have posted in those threads)
-Not once have I referred to my backlog as a "Pile of Shame" (you can do a search on here to verify)
-I've never played Magic Carpet, or suggested it be remade
-interest in gaming industry budgets and trends? Sure. "Tracking the Steam Machine's release?" Also, sure. But this seems pretty horoscope-y and broad
-I mAkE a No DaY oNe ExCePtIoN fOr ReMeDy GaMeS. For Alan Wake only, and that's because it was a TPS, OTS action horror, not because it's Remedy. I'm generally a patient gamer, but I buy around 3-5 new games per year.

In a way, I'm glad it's so far off the mark.

Always thought the lyric in Faith No More's 'Midlife Crisis' was "..you're menstruating hard", especially given part of it was kind of about Madonna. But just found it's "your menstruating heart".
