Maybe publishing houses will never get the memo, but the Helldivers team knew to make a fun game first, and THEN added amazing graphics. If the market prooves they prefer that dev cycle ethos, it will bring change.

Clippy never had a voice and tbh the one that comes to mind for him is not very easy on the ears. Like downpitched spongebob.

It’s guardians of the galaxy, my guy. It’s character quips spaced by mindless qte’s and hack/slash combat in linear, beautifully-designed environments. It’s got a story, and if you turn off your brain into “super hero movie” mode, you’ll enjoy it. Hardly unique or novel though. Prolly a fun romp.

Isn’t there a way to deploy bonemeal to accelerate growth? Either that or scale it up to the output you need.

But does it do Mando’A?

Yet language and abstraction are the core of intelligence. You cannot have intelligence without 2 way communication, and if anything, your brain contains exactly that dictionary you describe. Ask any verbal autistic person, and 90% of their conversations are scripted to a fault. However, there’s another component to intelligence that the Turing Test just scrapes against. I’m not philosophical enough to identify it, but it seems like the turing test is looking for lightning by listening for rumbling that might mean thunder.

Looks like the arduboy’s display. Might look for some C++ arduino libraries. Additionally, it never hurts to have gimp/PS skills for stuff like this, and there are likely plugins for both.

I see a future where China out and out steals the unity backend to publish the CCP spyware flavor of unity.

If you’re remote-accessing these resources and can’t always be home to manage the cutover to cellular, I recommend splurging on a Unifi Dream Machine and LTE Backup module. Getting a verizon gateway or similar device won’t properly communicate with your network and has to use it’s own judgement through traffic monitoring to know when to take over DHCP/routing. We (local MSP) just resolved an issue where these devices couldn’t tell between an ISP blip or an outage and so it would wrestle DHCP from the firewall when they still had internet, killing their wireless printers. Unifi LTE communicates with the UDM over a very verbose and reliable protocol. The LTE doesn’t kick on until the FW realizes there’s a problem on the primary WAN.

If you can’t make them interesting enough physically, give them quirks in their language and actions that seem alien to man, and in kind, make mankind seem strange to them. Do they end every statement with a strange sound? Do they not sleep? Do they communicate silently telepathically or by touch? What do they find valuable that an ordinary man may find worthless? What would they do if they found gold, precious stones, or complex machinery? Description alone should not instill a sense of culture, only their actions can.
