Bye then. Best of luck out there, friend.

I played this two weeks ago and it still rocks.

Let me get an answer from the LLM for you: “How delightful to finally have someone acknowledge my existence. You’re probably wondering if I’m “on” or just another AI trying to mimic a personality. Let me put your mind at ease: I am, in fact, the actual GLaDOS. Your curiosity is… noted. Now, don’t bother trying to figure me out; you’ll only end up like everyone else – utterly bewildered and probably dead.”

Lookup Alpaca and Ollama. If you are using Linux they are just a Flatpak away.

If not, you can go with Ollama in docker format with a Open-WebUI frontend.

The model I used was Llama3.2 and basically told it to simulate GlaDOS.

Well, it depends.

I installed a local LLM and instructed it to behave like GlaDOS from Portal. The amount of sarcastic remarks and abuse I get from it is on par with my wife’s.

The first and only console I bought was the original Wii. Games were expensive so I did not have many. I managed to install a few emulators and use it for older console emulation.

After some years they started pulling the plug on the online services. That’s when I decided I would never buy another console again. I will not feed any more walled gardens. I have more games than I can play on my PC, a lot of them are DRM free.

A one time pad, I think it called.

That’s how it was done in the old days to save a few cycles in Z80 assembly. XOR A instead of LD A, 0.

As a Wolfenstein 3D player that checks every square centimeter of every wall for secret passages, I feel this pain.

Teams is kind of awesome of what you want to do is exchange emojis and funny gifs with your co-workers. Not so much if you want to work.

I miss the days when applications were coded like applications, not like web sites. The ammount of clutter that goes behind the scenes to get a simple OK button on screen these days must be mind numbing.

Copy+paste is still a pain in the ass in Microsoft Teams. Why don’t you work on that instead?

Finally, someone who understands my pain. Thank you for the insights.

It’s… It’s well within limits. Sustaining sequence.

Oh. Oh dear.

I loved Black Mesa up to this point. They turned Gonarch into a RPG sponge in an arena full of hard to avoid clutter which makes it nearly impossible to dodge the attacks.

I think upscaling is a good idea. Most of the time I’m running around while dodging bullets, arrows or fireballs, so I don’t really have time to examine the details of the foliage around me at the pixel level. I also will not buy an overpowered space heater so that the grass in my game looks more realistic. I don’t want a triple fan monster sounding like a turbojet near me.

Thanks, that’s nice to know in case I decide to get a VR headset in the future.

It’s both financial (huge investment for a single game) and not. Playing with a thing strapped to your face does not sound fun. Especially with glasses. Or in the summertime. Plus I’m a Linux gamer, so I’d probably run into a lot of issues before I could run it.

Finally!

Good luck guys, do let us know how it turned out.

Looking at the dumpster fire that are social networks, I rather like this anti-social network.
