I don’t see the need to immediately gun someone down. She’s in a car for fuck’s sake, note down the plate and visit her when she’s calmed down.

My old HP laptop was referred to as having celery for a CPU. It was about capable of using Chrome without having a breakdown.

I’m shocked that I’ve never read any of these although a bunch are on my list. Voted for Neuromancer because cyberpunk is my main focus for my own work.

I’m so glad I use crucial SSDs

Xfire was my bastion with my totally legit copy of Call of Duty 4.

Just stroll towards the ball and never attempt a tackle or anything.

Because you have to be a manipulative cunt to do shit like this.

Worth pointing out that the scientific advancement would generate billions that NASA will only see a fraction of.

I personally would like to see more LibDem representation in Parliament. Labour aren’t the best bet but we might be looking at a “lesser of two evils” situation.

The reptiles in the Tory party care more about everyone else than their own citizens. As everyone’s finances spiral into oblivion because they refused to regulate the housing market and deciding that a tiny country in Africa is a safe place to dump immigrants, these fuckers only concern themselves with consolidating power and gutting socialist policies. Why? Because they’re friends with corporate dinosaurs who would love to turn the UK into the privatised nightmare of the US.

The election can’t come fast enough.

You are correct. Braverman and Sunak are appealing the decision by the Court of Appeal because they’re inhuman but so far no one has been sent to Rwanda just yet.

Or Rwanda. They love sending immigrants to Rwanda.

Love hummingbirds. Their wing motion is so mesmerising. Vicious bastards though.

Bethesda’s approach is more functional and it allows them to throw in like a hundred odd dungeons but that’s a ton of work to make all of them unique and interesting.

I would slim down the number of dungeons to maybe around thirty to forty. Means that each one becomes more memorable and seeing one inofitself is eventful. By cutting down on the dungeons, you get a few more bonuses, you can put more thought into what kind of loot you would get from it. You can frame everything around the dungeon; what kinds of enemies you’d face, the armour they’re wearing, the weapons they’re using, the spells they’re casting, the items and furniture dotted around or even the environment itself.

In that way, each dungeon becomes its own self-contained experience rather than the _n_th iteration of the same experience. Once you’ve done Bleak Falls Barrow, it’s unlikely the rest of the dungeons will be any different (aside from dwarven ruins which are different to Nord ruins but they suffer from the same issues).

There’s no reason you can’t flesh out a dungeon based on hints given in a quest. So Bleak Falls Barrow would probably be the most boring dungeon of the lot but to someone who’s never experienced Skyrim, it’s new and it sets the stage for other dungeons. There you establish who might be buried in those tombs or if you don’t know, then you can go down and maybe read old books that talk about who was buried there. Say one Draugr has a little diary on him, talking about a thief that left him for dead. You might find that thief later down the lane but he died from walking into a trap which can also serve the dual purpose of teaching the player “hey, there are traps to prevent people from coming down and looting the place”. You can also look at adding a couple of dead grave robbers who allude to the Draugr Lord at the end of the dungeon.

These are a couple of things I’ve just come up with off the top of my head but the TLDR is: "Ask yourself the questions, how can I make this dungeon feel different? Who might be down here? Why are they down here? What did they leave behind? What was taken?

I would expect the dungeons to have some character at least. They have the manpower to make the dungeons feel different and allow there to be a build up towards the boss. Like if it’s a Draugr Overlord, let me learn about this guy and his life before I’m facing off against him.

Edit: to further develop this idea, what we learn of the Overlord’s backstory tells us how to best defeat them. Say, if their shield arm is weak then shield-bashing them would knock them off-balance. Or stories of them using various spells so you’re aware that they might use these spells while fighting.

The problem with the open worlds is that they’re huge areas with barely anything in them. The NPCs, quests and locations have been dropping in quality since Morrowind. The prime example of this are the dungeons. They’re all so very similar and forgettable. Bethesda open worlds tend to be very copy and paste and that’s why they get criticism.

That’s gonna be one giant fuck off sail to pull a cruise liner.

Use LLMs and machine learning to detect the reviews created by LLMs and machine learning.

What I’m getting from this is that the NHS has been shafted so much that they can’t even give these out for free or even at a heavily discounted rate. They even raised the lower age limit from 50 to 65 so there’s even less people able to get it for free.

It will never be objective if its dataset is something like the internet. It will always be prone to bias because that’s the double-edged sword of LLMs, they have to have vast quantities of data and the only place they can get that is the internet which is biased opinions everywhere.
