Are you interested in IDE based plugins (think GitHub Copilot), or standalone/web-verions (ChatGPT, etc)?

-KynloStephen66515 (August 03, 2024, 08:44 PM)

I haven't tried any IDE-based plugins. I've just used web versions.

Well, if you want any suggestions for good tools, let me know as I have a list! (Unbiased and based off of personal experience with the tools in question) XD

-KynloStephen66515 (August 03, 2024, 06:09 AM)

I'm interested in seeing a list, because my experience has left me with the impression that AI models aren't yet fully baked, and rarely give me truly useful results.

I finally found a kindred spirit, except this guy is much smarter than I am:

"I made a DIY gaming mouse because Logitech's mice keep BREAKING"

It's open source, too:

Anyone doing anything fun/interesting/useful with a Raspberry Pi 5? I realized today that I haven't really heard anything about the Pi 5 since they were officially announced.

I got rid of all my Pis (3 & 4) a couple years ago but I keep coming up with reasons to want another one. My problem in the past has always been that I would get the latest and greatest Raspberry Pi with some specific task in mind and then it turned out that the CPU wasn't powerful enough, or the I/O wasn't fast enough, or it didn't have enough RAM, etc., and then it just collected dust. So even though I think I'd like to get one again I'm hesitant because I don't want to spend the money buying the SBC and accessories and the time to set it up and tinker with it only for it to ultimately sit unused like all the others thus far.

Well, platform didn't allow me to upload it.  Perhaps someone can suggest an alternative place to save it and make it available?

-nkormanik (April 18, 2024, 12:51 AM)

If you're trying to upload it to this forum, you should be able to zip it up and then upload the zip file.

Really there was only one game that I immediately thought, "Ooh! That looks interesting. I'll keep that!" All the others were more like, "I guess that might be worth trying..." In short: I won't be buying a Mystery Bundle again.

-Deozaan (September 09, 2022, 03:04 PM)

Well, I fell for it again and bought another Mystery Bundle from Fanatical. But in my defense, I was persuaded to buy it mostly because purchasing it would enter me into a chance to win a Steam Deck OLED.

This time I got 20 games (+1 bonus game) and it seems the ratio is about the same as last time.

10% I immediately thought "That looks fun. I'll keep that."
30% I thought "I guess it might be worth trying," or "Someone else in my household my enjoy having this in our shared library."
60% I thought "Not particularly interested."

Here's a list of the games I'm willing to part with to interested long-time members of the forum:

• Aeon Must Die!
• Beautiful Desolation
• Deathrun TV
• The Deed: Dynasty
• In Between
• Interrogation: You Will Be Deceived
• Nine Witches: Family Disruption
• Pharaonic
• Rising Hell
• Toki
• Vanaris Tactics
• White Noise 2

Here's what I kept:

• Alchemist Adventure
• Autonauts
• Encodya
• Fallout: New Vegas
• Pumped BMX Pro
• Songbird Symphony
• Super Star Path
• Tempest: Complete Edition

And the bonus game was originally another copy of Encodya but I emailed them complaining about receiving two copies of the same game in the same order and they replaced it with I Am Fish.

By the way, the games in the first post of this thread are still available. Also, I'm realizing now that I still haven't played any of the games I kept from the last one. . . I need to stop buying mystery games! 😅

I'm locking this thread because (1) the conversation seems to be finished, and (2) there have been a lot of spammers recently posting in this thread, asking an innocuous-looking question while quoting the first post but sneakily editing some of the quoted links to point to other sites. And since there are a lot of links in the first post it takes some time and effort to spot which ones have been tampered with.

If you feel the conversation wasn't over and would like me to unlock the thread so the discussion can continue, send me a DM and I'll be happy to oblige.

I really dislike how the year in review only has data for half of December.

For both the past two years I've gotten a game as an early Christmas present that I played so much in December it would have been pretty near the top of my list of most-played games of the year. But because I played them to death in the last half of December, where no data is collected/used for this, they barely make a blip on my Year in Review.
