I'm currently downloading Mega Man Legacy Collection on my 2DS. Any tips for a complete newcomer to the series? I know that you have different stages, each with a different boss, and that you are allowed to do them in any order. You receive powerups from the bosses you've defeated right?

Maybe a recommended order for the first game?

Thanks for the suggestion!

Large language models not fit for real-world use, scientists warn — even slight changes cause their world models to collapse in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 53 minutes ago

I am by no means an AI fanboy, and I extremely dislike the fact that it is in the hands of big tech, uses so much energy and is built on the work of people who are not being rewarded in any way. It is a new technology that is being forced and abused in the most capitalist way possible.

I do think however, that what you declare here as fact is not as certain as you make it out to be. Research indicates that machine learning models do in fact form some sort of model of understanding of their problem domain. For example this research. I am all for being critical of AI, but oversimplifying the issue might not work in our favour.

Thinking of starting a little beehaw minehut server for minecraft what version should I go with? (java) in c/[email protected]

I am new to Minecraft, bit love this idea. What would I need to join this server? Is Minecraft paid or free?

The Walking Dead, The Expanse and more in the Telltale Collection Humble Bundle in c/[email protected]

The Wolf among us is a genuine masterpiece. The theme music is such a vibe.

The walking dead season 1 and 2 are amazing. 3 not so much. 4 I haven't played yet but heard good things about.

Batman is in my backlog, but I heard the second season especially is unexpectedly good.

I have most of these in my library, but still tempted to buy it for the final season of The Walking Dead and the second season of batman.

The expanse I know nothing about. Tales from monkey island seems decent.

GOG’s new preservation program intends to keep classic games playable ‘forever’ in c/[email protected]

Yeah I believe so. But I'm 100% for it, the work they do deserves recognition.

I can understand that their priorities lie with Windows initially. I also prefer Steam for their amazing linux support, but for preservation Steam is also a mess: delisting of games / the fact that the games are not DRM free. A copy you buy on GOG is yours forever, a copy on Steam is less certain. Also know that GOG operates at a fraction of the budget that Steam has, so they don't necessarily have the money to put someone on linux support too. But hopefully in the future this will change!

Is the Love Song Dying? in c/[email protected]

I love a good old over the top love song. Don't get me wrong, realistic songs about real life romantic relations are awesome, but I love a world where something like this exists :).

how would you rate your own beehaw username as a minecraft seed? in c/[email protected]

This sounds fun! I don't have access to Minecraft, but would love to know what my seed looks like :).

Thanks for reminding me! Those games were amazing and actually quite similar to Astro Bot in vibe: just wholesome, cute and positive all around!

I didn't enjoy 3 that much, and the new Sackboy game is fun but seems like a different genre almost.

I did really like the PSP and PSVita entries of LBP, if you have access to those devices you should give them a go! Even though they weren't made by the same team, they really captured the essence and both had a great campaign!

Sidenote, do you remember the millions of Shark Attack community levels? That was such a weird trend :).

If you like challenging 2d platformers, I can highly recommend Rite (5 euros on Steam).

Completely matches your description of muscle memory, and once you get there it is so satisfying!

If you are in any way able to get your hands on Astro Bot, I recommend it sooooo much. Even at it's steep price, it's already worth it for me (30 percent completed).

And you can always use my strategy, buy second hand with the ability to sell again when you're finished. I know this does not support the developer, but when money is tight (as is kind of the case for me) I think this doesn't matter.

I edited the post to just platformers, as it was indeed a bit vague! Though I think I was going more for the run-around, collect and jump on enemies kind of deal (Mario, Donkey Kong, Crash Bandicoot, Astro Bot, Banjo-Kazooie, etc).

So less action-platform I guess?

But what do you like about megaman? I've never played any game in that series!

The format of these posts is simple: let’s discuss a specific game or series!

I've finally caved and paid 50 euros for a second hand copy of Astro Bot on PS5, and it is absolutely incredible. I know this game is only available to PS5 players, so I broadened the topic...

Recommend me your favorite linear games! (beehaw.org)
 

As the title suggests: I've had it with open worlds with dozens of things to do and checklists to complete. What are your favorite, delightfully simple, linear games?

This question is sparked by the discussion in the Final Fantasy thread, were I disclosed that I actually kind of like XIII because of its linearity. Other linear favorites of mine include: Half-Life series, Portal series, Uncharted series, some COD campaigns, Undertale, Journey, Super Mario 3D World, Plague Tale, Spec Ops: The Line

A shout out to A Way Out in the co-op catergory!

On first listen I thought it was OK.

Then I slept.

Now I can't stop listening. What a banger. I think he's got another big hit here.
