  @sasajuric By careful selection of dependencies that are battle tested and have well defined APIs that have already figured those things out. I build healthcare apps, so FHIR + Material UI + Meteor + D3 gave us a huge amount of API surface area for the LLMs to work with. Now then, there is a needed critical-mass effect for it to work. Things didn’t get really good until 250K lines of code; and we started with a tech stack that we had sorted out a lot of problems over the past decade. So, I wouldn’t say we *never* look at the code. Just that it’s possible to hit critical mass, where there’s enough source materials and enough rules, that the most modern models can start self-assembling code according to spec, and… it’s as good or better than anything I would write by hand.

  @MichaelFKane The entire problem with mass effect is that the renegade path is objectively the correct and good way to play, until ME3, where it becomes a cartoon evil guy.

  @PunlshedGundam @RohanKarMooN I had issues w/ games w/ multiple client-app/DRM's - i.e. Ubi games on Steam (PoP: Forgotten Sands, req. Ubi launcher); EA games on Steam (Mass Effect: Legendary, which req. EA App); & RDR2 on Epic (always req. R* app). Just always boot the 1st-party required launcher first.

  @DanticsOfficial I think this is fine in shorter games but I have to be honest, if I was locked into a playstyle in cyberpunk at hour 50 and I knew I was only halfway through the ******* game and I was hating it, that'd be a problem. I'm saying this is a huge Mass Effect fan.

  @Knight10293847 yhea in general that the actual problem of veliguard it a mmo disguised as a single player and they couldn’t really change that felling to make it more like a dragon age or mass effect

  @cerealsthatkill @DanFriedman81 Woke is why you got to that point. If someone said that they wanted to show you a sleazy underworld bar on the edge of the galaxy, what would you expect to see there? Mass Effect 2 had alien space strippers. So who on Starfield decided that the sleezy space bar would have flabby male dancers in gross spandex onesies with florp hats? Who made this call and how did they get hired? 1. Are you really telling me that’s the best they could do? 2. Why hire someone like that in the first place? 3. Why did no one stop them from making something so lame? This demonstrates that the hiring process was corrupted, and that there was no longer a functioning management system capable or willing to make important creative decisions. Because we see a huge problem in that people were making decisions they shouldn’t have made, and there was no one stopping them from doing it! You cannot simply chalk these things up to some failure of management because these were studios that used to know how to deliver record shattering games.

  Why the Dark Energy plot was better. But the issue with that plot line was that it fit for a game that was a sequel to Mass Effect 1. But Mass Effect 3 was a sequel to Mass Effect 2 (which was a soft reboot of the series, not a sequel to Mass Effect 1).

  Kelsey (@pwu80d) reported 15 minutes ago

  @kalaelizabeth I think that's definitely true right after Dragon Age Origins. (And you can argue the same for Mass Effect to a certain extent even with 2 though that game was close to being as good as the first.) 2 was a noble but broken attempt thay some people a lot of love and worth in

  @jdgaming2025 @bioware @masseffect I did hear they had creative issues, tons of money was spent, then the lead left, all the major heads of bioware jumped ship to make their own company and now as soon as 24-26 they had to hire some of the OG's back to rework ME5 so it doesn't destroy the franchise or the company.

  @aaronmail1994 Can you give an example? Most of the time it's bugs causing issues, but they end up getting fixed with an update. I’ve been on PC for 2 or 3 years now, and the only issue I’ve had was a bug in Mass Effect 1 that I found a workaround for. Most of the time I just install and play.

  Halo Reach is the Mass Effect 2 the of Halo in that it's followed up immediately by a worse game but if you're smart you can see that it had all the same problems the whole time

  @kennyistyping idk there's like a mass effect issue also lens had somewhat the right idea of being just a backend but when you are so open ended curation gets hard and even moreso when you have adversarial usage. i think it takes something really paradigmic to get you off of that.

  Am i overthinking it, or is it odd that Iran would cyberattack the state that is led by Tim Walz and not a hugely populated one for mass effect, and at the same time we were warned that AI had "broken free"? Prolly just overthinking.

  Dragon Age, Mass Effect and KOTOR sold because they were good single player stories, no live service required. Now the only thing these companies have to sell is their reputation, and they think its worth $80. I'll take the gacha slop over the struggle session.

  @kinetizen @palavenskies The only thing I hate about Mass Effect 2 is the complete lack of diplomacy and mercy. But I'm not going to blame Mass Effect 2 for the fact that BioWare idiotically decided to replace 99% of the writing crew for Mass Effect 3. I believe absolutely that most of these plot holes and other writing issues would have been mostly resolved if Mass Effect 3 kept the same writing team that created the first two games.

  Colin Glassey - Author (@cglassey_author) reported 28 minutes ago

  The term "Open weight self hosted AI" is quite misleading. The weights of an LLM are a massive set of numbers which no human and no software can explain or clarify. In a very real sense the weights are not OPEN because no human or machine can read the weights and understand / describe what they mean. This is totally unlike "open source code" which can be understood. For all we know, the weights of an "Open weight LLM" contain hidden malicious errors, analogous to the error "Legion" used to destroy the Geth who were supporting the Reapers in Mass Effect 2. "Open weight LLMs" are fundamentally inscrutable.

  @Pirat_Nation As someone who has done this, I can tell you why. It's because the games turn to dog ****. Very few games that are single player complete products actually Have 200 hours worth of content. Run the study again, only this time only check reviews on single player games that are complete products, no longer receiving updates like BG3, Witcher 3, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, so on. And the handful that do like BG3, obviously most people overwhelmingly, positively review. The games that do typically get 200 hours or more are either some form of live service or survival game. Which at first is very fun and actually gets you hooked, but then as you play through hundreds of hours you either hit a completely dead end game, or grind or otherwise. Have multiple issues that you have now played the game long enough to start to realize or it's a live service that becomes complete **** long after launch implementing things that no one asked for, that no one wants at best. or at worst goes years without fixing or patching basic bugs, resulting in developers basically neglecting the game. Either way, it results in a negative review, at least for me, because I don't put up with that bullshit. At least not without calling it out.

  @void_cache @Mangroxian I like to mod games, Mass Effect, Cyberpunk being a few of them, but the sheer amount of mods I download often takes up a good chunk of space, so I transferred them to the external hard drive. I try to mediate this issue by letting the game load in for 5 to 10 minutes, but its-

  It really does suck that in Mass Effect: Evolution it is marketed as "First Contact War Shown" and its ends so quickly its genuinely baffling. And not only that but the Illusive Man just goes to Illium like its no problem. First human on an alien world and no one cares. The other comics are much better but why did they introduce the Illusive Man like this? Sure show him in the First Contact war but don't make it seem like its about the conflict and also just let time pass so the next event makes more sense. Also having Saren encounter the Reapers this early is weird when he encounters them for what I presumed was the first time.

  @xaviersonline_ i love her voice but i can't stand his but maybe it's one of those things that grows on you who knows that's the same problem i had with mass effect where the maleshep was just hard to play (though his VA is actually amazing so idk if it was the direction or what)

  @sulmusa00 @Pirat_Nation Like we've seen this problem before with Mass Effect 1, assload of planets but when most of them are empty you just end up going to the storyline planets which just HAVE TO BE incredible and that really makes or breaks a game like that

  @Aurelian_27 Yup, but they need to be exclusive. Releasing on Playstation hurts their brand. They've had the hardest times since 360 quality exclusives and even then most of the like Bioshock and Mass Effect came to PS. But the price for the next consoles will be an issue as well i fear.
