I cannot fathom why I wouldn’t be pessimistic about a tool that’s being crammed into places it doesn’t fit. There are a small handful of things generative algorithms are genuinely useful for. But expecting it to magically solve anything else is foolish, and always will be.
As opposed to yourself, I guess?
Your reply kinda reminds me of Thirteenth Floor.
I couldn’t resist the rakk build for my FL4K - and that particular action skill was crazy for triggering anointments. Only ever maxed his level though. Got close with Zane (he stays slow, but gets pretty overpowered by the end - but only if you avoided the bugged out non-functional skills). Next highest level I got was on Amara. I loved Moze’s power armor, by that’s the char my girlfriend mained, so I never got mine leveled very far.
The gameplay was much improved; the writing was…not good.
But I played the hell out of 3 anyway, so…
I find it doubtful they’ll successfully enforce this in court. But you never know.
The fact that this patent was issued is further proof our “intellectual property” laws and such are fucking broken to all hell, in any case.

The paranoid conspiracy theorist in me has been wondering if their plan involves intentionally devaluing traditional currency, the dollar, etc, to speed the adoption of crypto… somehow? But, there’s plenty of gaping holes in that theory, I’ll admit.
Local support networks are so important right now, either way. So that’s where I’m trying to focus my attention.
I think it’s been a year or so now since Microsoft updated Windows to be incompatible with dual boot from the same drive. When Windows boots up, it nukes grub if it’s on the same drive as your windows install. Every time.
If you want to dual boot, you basically need separate drives now. So stupid…
