What I notice is that people really like the 'my story' functionality of instagram. It's a nice way to share some random stuff, without it being on the internet 'exposed forever and for everybody'. And you can share also something with only close friends, or just followers, etc

I really hate zuck, but I don't think pixelfed has such a functionality yet, right? I feel that, or just something similar, is sort of a main key to getting people make a transition from instagram.

Bluesky/mastodon transition is going pretty well though

And that penalty was not deserved

Pff what an aggressive players

Yes, travel should come with a cost. Kingdom Come deliverance had a similar concept: you'd get hungry, can get ambushed, or you need to sleep at some point.

The Gothic games introduce fast travel very late in the game, with teleporter stones. Also, they had a very densely packed map, so travelling to some other place did not really took that much time. But I think it is a nice alternative.

I recently started playing outward and it has (practically) no fast travel. It really is refreshing, it keeps you thinking what area is best to go to next and you should keep track of your rations, carry capacity etc

(Also, what game do you refer to with FO2?)

What you can do, and is probably the best way to get this to work, is tackle this with machine learning. You will need lots sound samples of rocks, with details of the rock, and feed them to some (probably deep learning) model.

Speech mimicking with AI has shown we are able to mimick voices, so I think a similar approach would work for rocks. Probably need some tuning and a bit different architecture for nice results since the application differs a bit.

It will of course be an approximation, but that is any calculation. Since all models are wrong, but some are less wrong than others.

Ah. Yes I agree

Their answer is buying the usb-c to 3mm adapter. If you keep that connecter in you bag, ot connected to your headphones, you should be fine most of the time. Unless you would like to charge and listen to audio at the same time.

To me, that feels like a solid design choice, but yes we all have our dealbreakers.

That is not a question!
