minus the physicality of course, but that's next.
can't wait to play Warcraft 3 and think "select all healers" so I can point
them at a dying unit with my mouse.
or world of warcraft where your rotation begins to feel like a song.
maybe even a text-based adventure, where you reading the text corresponds to
the results of the simulation, https://www.spreeder.com/app.php style. could
make it so that if you wanted something else to happen, you had to willfully
think it while the words are flashing in front of your eyes - the game would
pause if you blinked, perfect for phones btw...
could be a locally networked thing, like four to six people hanging out and
playing a game like pictionary or charades. except, a story that developed,
and whoever wanted could change it while everyone was reading it at once.
sorta like a competition to see who can make the best twists and false endings

the idea is that once the model builds an inference then it can use that to
generate the next words and create sentences. If you force the previous text to
change, you can guide the inference's path as it's being generated.
then, just do a double pass, once, then back, then once, then back, etc.

wowchat would make a great game for raids.
have the monsters spawn at specific spots that you go through and identify
on the geometry
tell them to run and attack the nearest of foes
give the players the goal of bringing themselves through to the end...
or, later on, in building an internal expedition.
wow-chat, where monsters spawn in a circle around your character and walk to
ward them. you can meet characters who'll follow and protect you, and you can
meet monsters to fight. also vendors to take your junk and give you cool
things,
and trainers to teach you and quest-givers to guide you and treasure for you to
find.
in raids, there are more things for you. monsters spawn at specified locations,
and only the nearest few in a radius. then, they attack over the landscape-of-
-imagination, and as they do they show you where is the most powerful loot.
if you raid a monster's den/hiding/spawning choice, then you have to defeat the
boss. this boss is larger, mostly. has more hitpoints... monstly. or maybe it's
just the most respected, who can say.
anyway, you get treasure if you do. the monster spawns for you when you find
it.
and you have to sense it by searching for whichever monsters spawn at higher
and
higher levels and in different types.
different monster type, different boss that way.
when the boss is slain, that type goes away.
at least, until the raid resets next week.
or maybe...
until enough resources have been gathered to make another attempt.
death knights should be able to command the minions to work in the haunted
mill.
it should be reasonable for a fighter to hire a peasant host.
mages should have golems or spirits or enchanted objects or elementals or
wizard
hats
warlocks should have covenants with dark hosts
darkness is not evil unless you use it for evil...
paladins should have retainers and disciples
elves should sing to the woods
clerics and charmers should be well understood.
celebrants and diviners are two of the same,
and pillars of plunder [warrior or rogue class] and rough and ripe [from the
stoner]

... it's so the AI content scraping algorithm that inevitably trawls the

question. That way it can use past posts by other people to communicate with
specific "targets" if you will by saying "uhhh okay make this person feel
fine" and the AI's like "yeah sure I can do that hang on" and it posts real
posts by others with the modified profile picture, cadence, tone of voice,
personality, memories, whatever variables they want when compared to the
person they're playing in the conversation with the person or "target" if you
will that they're "target" if you will-ing.

people who are uncomfortable being seen don't have to if they filter all that

of course I do.
I'm always so concerned that someone might stumble upon me. that they might

my message to blissard is: treat World of Warcraft like a game engine, not a
theme park please. I mean, the theme park should still exist, because it's neat
but... the rest of the game engine could be used to create essentially
anything with a 3rd person camera.
singleplayer doesn't even need to worry about clipping animations. (lag)
I wonder if you could run World of Warcraft on lowest settings in vanilla
burning crusade or wrath of the lich king? good thing those are open source
now, so you can host your own if you want. well, except the client, but nobody
has bothered to write another one besides the owner and primary developers of
the engine.

someone also made an entirely new game engine similar to Neverwinter Night's
(or Baldur's Gate for you noobs) inside of the game. You could join a Warcraft
3 map and start playing a D&D adventure narrated, controlled, and prepared
by your DM, D&D style. Like a virtual tabletop before that was a thing.

true. the "massively multiplayer" aspect of WoW is about as important to the
game as the "A" is in "ARPG".
I can't help but feel like the "impromptu groups" functionality feels a bit
better than matchmaker instancing... though anything worth running a group for
in WoW after TBC was instanced >.>
Honestly I think there's just too many games these days for people to really
get "into" MMORPGs, unless they're sufficiently unique in their mechanics
(like EVE or Runescape)
any ARPG MMOs are dead on launch, as you said. That design space is tapped
out, at least for now, until someone comes along and makes it a deckbuilding
roguelike or whatever. cough cough

make the entire map covered in a 3d grid of spheres. These spheres register
collision, and keep track of a endlessly tabulating record of every object that
has passed through them. Like the replay system in Blizzard games, where each
time through the recording it recreates the playthrough exactly. Which is why
.mp4 recordings always look so... stilted. It lacks the human element. BUT if
they're remade every time the show is performed, perhaps from different
perspectives, then, well, the players can perform as they need to be.
Have you ever wished your players could get better at your game? I certainly
have, because the better you get the more lessons you learn as a player, which
is essentially the only way to maintain satisfaction. Satisfied players don't
leave, and satisfaction comes most readily when there is something new to be
had. Meaning the greater the change in a player's ranking, the better they're
getting.
Downside is, players who are naturally good from their skills in other games
tend to not learn so much! Ah, well, if only there was a way to tailor the
difficulty setting to each and every new host. Such an innovation would surely
enable the entire playerbase to exist on the same level. Then just throw AI
assisted voice transcription at their recorded voices and everytime they
say "I'm bronze rating" or "I'm diamond" then you can switch it around to say
like "I'm platinum" or "I'm grandmaster" and BAM suddenly everyone is at the
same level. No more concerns about a game's population being diverse. Because
at the end of the day, when most people have moved on, the ones who are left
are your most dedicated customers. Customers who aren't especially interested
in the new stuff.

Okay I gotta go write some w7 but picture this: A computer program that emits
emotions during it's computing. Like "oh boy this process is going great!" and
sends that into a giant word cloud that represents the entire program. Wait,
scratch that, it's slowly filtered up through successive layers that provide
detail to different *parts* of a program. Like "Oh the image generation is
going
great but it looks like the garbage collector is getting bogged down" - this
could provide lots of useful information that an AI language model could sift
through and filter into a batch of actually useful information. Think of it
like
this - stuff as much context into the LLM's memory buffer and say "summarize
this in the same style. Make emphasis when necessary." the LLM could process
all
that data and it could be filtered up until there's no unprocessed data and
then
it could be given to the user in the form of a report or dashboard or
something.
BOOM AI PRODUCTIVITY. The user will ask the AI to increase certain variables,
and it'll filter BACK DOWN THE CHAIN through the same exact process (just
backwards) this time) and then individual components will know how to behave.
Like imagine if your arms knew you were mad. They'd be much more likely to
punch stuff right? Or imagine if your legs knew you were scared. They'd
probably
try and run as fast as they fucking can. There's an evolutionary reason why
this
kind of technology would be useful, which means it's likely that it's part of
our genetic code. I mean, we have nothing to disprove it, but it's as good an
