The aesthetics of your game look great. I think people will appreciate a demo, to give them a feel for the game. You can have demo on your steam page or maybe on itch.io .

I tried playing Hollow Knight. But I couldn't even beat Mother Gruz, despite trying more than a few times. I gave up in the end. I understand that the problem lies with me. But, I really wanted to experience the world.

What is the point of process, if it inevitably leads to frustration?

Yes. I don't deal with frustration all that well. I want to experience the world and story, more than trying to master the gameplay.

Bought it. Found no easy mode for a dumbass like me. Refunded. Not Team Cherry's fault. Looked like a great game, but unfortunately not for me. :(

I really wished they added some easy mode, but it's their decision.

Same. Hollow Knight's combat and platforming simply didn't click. But, the atmosphere of that game is simply impeccable. That, to me, makes Hollow Knight an amazing video game, just one not for me.

I am not implying that transformers-based models have to be huge to be useful. I am only talking about LLMs. I am questioning the purported goal of LLMs, i.e., to replace all humans in as many creative fields as possible, in the context of it's cost, both environmental and social.

Where is the idea that LLMs will ever to curing diseases coming from? What is the possible mechanism? LLMs generate text from probability distributions. There is no reason to trust their output because they don't have built-in concept of true or false. When one cannot judge the quality of the output, how can one reliably use it as a tool for any purpose, let alone scientific research?

All I ask is in what way are LLMs progress. Ability to generate a lot of slop is pretty much only thing LLMs are good for. Even that is not really cheap, especially factoring the environmental costs.

Eurogamer is shit. You can serve ads without tracking. But, they don't care.

I don't trust Atari to not fuck it up. But hey, more surprising things have happened.
