I got excited for a second, the title should clarify they made the API generally available, not general use on the chatgpt website.

It's not a bad game but it's easily the most overhyped game I've played this year. I'd describe it as a super generic RPG with a Harry Potter skin. The best thing I can say about it is that the game is very pretty. Hogwarts itself is lively and is pretty fun to walk around in. Everything else, though, is just sooooo generic.

Let's start with the magic system itself: In combat it literally boils down to using the right color on the right enemy. If an enemy has a red shield, use fire. If an enemy has a yellow shield, use your yellow ability. Other than that, just spam your magic until they die. You can dodge but enemies are usually pretty simple and telegraph their attacks hard. For a series so known for its magic, most of the magic boils down to "stun enemy" and "deal damage".

Outside of combat, magic is painfully boring. Your main character will also constantly spoil basic puzzles for you. "Hmm, a rock, perhaps I can use MY LEVITATION SPELL". "Oh, cobwebs are blocking the way, perhaps I can use my FIRE SPELL!" Everything boils down to basic interactions like this.

There's little to no roleplaying, your choices don't matter and boil down to being the nicest guy ever or being an arse for no reason. The story is linear. Your house changes your sleeping area and your clothes and some dialogue but that's about it. The story is very uninspired too, you play as a person with amazing ancient magic powers that nobody else has because you're the chosen one and stuff. Your professor is helping you unearth the mystery of why you're so special while stopping the bad guys from doing evil stuff. Nothing exciting imo.

TL;DR: I guess if you really love Harry Potter you'll enjoy the game for the references they make and magical feel to it, but outside of Hogwarts it's really a pretty generic RPG. The combat's repetitive, the open world feels empty and boring, the game overstays its welcome by being so long, etc. Overall I'd only buy it on deep discount, like $10-15 or something.

Edit: Oh, and there's no Quidditch in this game. Instant 0/10!

But for real though, they had to know that having telemetry be on by default wasn't going to look good for the open source community.

I miss his Dragonball Z-esque glasses already, but man do those animations look smooooooooth.

Yeah, pick the community you want to crosspost to and hit "create".

This is the crosspost button. If you're using a mobile app, some of them don't support crossposting yet. Click this button, choose the community you want to crosspost to, and voila. And yes, it works across instances.

Thank god it's not just me struggling hard in that map. Those turns are rough.

Basically, yeah. People share something whether it be a thought or an image or news or whatnot and others would reply to them and have sort of a mini-discussion. I'm not a fan, but a lot of people really enjoy how simple and brief it is.

OnlyOffice is a really good Microsoft Office alternative that's open source. Has 95% of the features you would ever need on Word.

Most people are technologically illiterate, they have no idea what privacy even is. Most people who do know clearly don't care.

KOSMOS-2: Microsoft's New AI Breakthrough Generating Text, Images, Video & Sound in Real-Time!

Microsoft has unveiled its latest AI breakthrough, KOSMOS-2, which can generate text, images, video, and sound in real-time[1]. This multimodal large language model (MLLM) is grounded in the real world through its ability to understand and analyze image content[4]. It was trained using large-scale data of grounded image-text pairs called GrIT[2].

KOSMOS-2 is a significant step forward in AI technology, with its ability to generate content across multiple modalities[6]. It has the potential to revolutionize computer vision applications with improved efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility in image and video processing[3].

This breakthrough is a testament to Microsoft's commitment to advancing AI technology and its potential to transform industries across the board. We can't wait to see what the future holds with KOSMOS-2!

Blizzard has released the first episode of its new Overwatch 2 miniseries, Genesis.

Today's episode is the first of three, and together, the series will focus on Omnic robots and how they went from human-made creations to what they are in the world of Overwatch 2. In Episode 1, Omnica Corp Scientists finally reveal the next generation of Omnics and it doesn't take long for them to ponder whether what they have done is good for society or the start of a new crisis.

I have very fond memories of watching the first one with my friends in the cinema. It was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

A pretty interesting comparison between old CGI and modern real-time graphics. Very neat to see how technology has progressed.
