The general population has no clue what a button or a trigger is most of the time and also have no clue what LB,RB,LT,RT even mean. You have to sit there and go “hmmm okay I see it’s right but now I need to remember what T and B mean” and it’s unintuitive, only makes sense to those who know it already.

Whereas numbers people actually know how they work and when you just say L and R people pick up on it easier. They can just figure out that top is 1 and 2 is bottom. Even helps them understand L3 and R3 better.

I have almost never seen someone new to games understand the stick button prompt easily with Xbox. Whereas a lot of PS controller sessions taught me that people who are new can even figure that out before I jump in to help them. Plus the icons are better. Shapes are less brain work than letters for a lot of people I know.

You’ve essentially described meme theory except your blaming the products of memes for the memes themselves. Trump isn’t the cancer, nor is musk or Putin or whoever. They all have supporters and a lot of them. Trumps approval rating is still near 45-50%. And the supporters aren’t something he grew or cultivated.

Trump is the product of a meme. Conservatism isn’t the end point results of a meme, it’s an expression of an underlying cultural phenomenon where after much progress is achieved, people begin to miss the familiarity of the past and wish to stop making progress for a short time.

And so the real thing being spread and what needs to die is the meme itself. And the only way you kill a meme is to change it into a better version of itself. Better meaning beneficial. Whereas what memes naturally do is become larger and more popular ideas until they are out competed by another meme.

You can’t kill a meme by turning conservative people liberal. All you can do is make people better conservatives and help them criticize and improve their own memes. Same way with religion and it’s been happening for millennia for most of them.

Looked it up and according to their claims (which we don’t have much other info on) they said that 70% needed manual review. And I’m saying AI here but really that’s the buzzword, there was a whole engineered system behind this that was automated to some degree. So yeah it wasn’t AI but it also wasn’t just people either.

From an engineering perspective they didn’t want to do this since it’s not just about AI tasks. If you go watch videos of it they have camera arrays and special shelf layouts and all sorts of stuff.

Not to mention the engineers probably wanted to be able to test it privately and without disrupting an actual store and community.

So it’s what I would’ve done as well frankly

Peoole aren’t appreciating just how bad these things are because they’re misinterpreting it. The goal of what they are doing here and with Amazon was never to just fake the technology right. The goal was to fake that the technology existed by using humans to do an automated thing and then to leverage that into making it actually automated.

But essentially what that means is theyre inventing technology that hasn’t been invented yet and selling it to you and the reason for doing so is to replace you with technology before it can even technically happen.

It’s essentially like someone building a new automated factory and telling workers at their other locations that they can’t be hired there since it’s automated but then someone goes inside and finds out they’re just using child laborers until the robots are ready and also robots haven’t been invented yet.

They’re using blood to grease wheels that don’t even exist to turn yet.

so much more expensive for the tax payer too

The manufacturing of rockets out of stainless steel also does not have much existing knowledge behind it. Nor does landing a rocket booster or first stage back on earth. Or staging a rocket this large and reusable.

What the engineers at SpaceX are pulling off on a regular basis is crazy. Having a reusable rocket system of this kind and size was unthinkable at many points in history. Just a shame their work gets overshadowed by a guy who takes all the credit while doing almost none of the work.

Good points and yes the rabbits at the farm are insanely hard for the very first encounters. It’s easily the hardest fights you’ll have in the entire first act.

I did appreciate the different types of dialog skills but really I think it could have been done better. Mostly because there are so many other skills to level into that by the time you’re done, you’ll probably have not even hit level 10 on your main weapon skills with some characters. I’d say you get about 2 skills that you can max out with each character and then 2 other skills you can half invest in by the end. And that’s out of close to 30 skills I think? So there’s just much more meaningful stuff to invest in.

IMO the way this should’ve been handled is through skills. So have a general speech stat that allows you to talk your way through difficult conversations and then either use items or actual skill points to get special outcomes using kiss/kick/smart ass. They also aren’t used the same amount it seems. Smart ass barely seems used in the second half of the game. Kick ass is used the moss, kiss ass somewhere in between. Just an odd choice of systems.

See I started to get some of that feeling at certain points but the comedy aspect almost ends up confusingly presented. Like I had conversations that were 95% serious but then had one over the top one liner you could say.

Or specifically the ending (no specific spoilers) has a conversation about what makes the desert rangers the law. It’s a philosophical question about justice that I thought I’d learn the tone from.

But the options you’re given only lead to you playing a dumbass who doesn’t understand the question or just playing into the joke, no in between. I kind of expected the light hearted nature to come out so I could spout off some idiotic statement at the final boss. Or use one of my traits to annoy him or intimidate him. Or better yet what I really wanted is to take his question seriously and then have him use my knowledge of the question to make fun of me somehow. But instead the whole conversation is played mostly straight and you might as well be hearing him on the radio in LA and not talking to him. The fight was interesting but the plot just left me confused on the tone entirely.

Opinions on Shadow Warrior?
