I mostly don’t use AI… At least not directly for programming. I use it for other things like translating, formatting text, etc. i sometimes ask AI to make something for prototyping purposes.

I will occasionally ask AI to solve programming problems, more to keep up with current trends. I like to keep informed with what AI can and cannot do because even if I choose not to use them, the same will not be true with my coworkers or other people I interact with. Having a good understanding of the current “meta” for AI lets me know what to look out for in the context of avoiding disasters.

Thank you for reporting this issue. Will fix in a patch update.

I just tried the link and it works fine for me (on Summit). I think it’s because it’s a brand new community so it needed some time.

I believe lemmy uses exclamation mark for community links. Eg. !buycanadian@lemmy.ca

Isnt the simplest explanation they made a mistake?

I’m here for it /s

True. I guess I’m blessed enough to have friends who wade through the shit for me :D

Thanks guys!

I’m probably in the minority but I didn’t like the game. I think mixing rogue like and puzzles is terrible and this game demonstrated why very well.

For context, I played it and basically 100% 'd the game (yeah I know it’s almost impossible to 100% this game but I basically solved every single puzzle I could find). I actually did this out of spite because I wanted to hate the game but for the “right reasons” and so that I can be fair with my criticism.

Roguelikes can usually get away with resetting between “rounds” because each round is quick. It makes failure/death less punishing. The problem is that puzzles can take any amount of time. If you get a puzzle, it could take you 10 minutes. If you don’t, it could take hours. As an example, I started a gaming session one night. I had 2 hours before I wanted to wind down for bed and previous rounds had been quick so I thought why not? Huge mistake. I ended up getting “lucky” and got a miracle run. Basically because the game is rng, I got a run where a lot of things went my way and I uncovered several puzzles, mysteries and solutions all in a single run. Just one single round of the game ended up taking over 4 hours and I didn’t want to stop playing because you can’t save in the middle of the round and I was worried I’d never get such a lucky round again. This sort of thing make it incredibly hard to plan time to play the game. Maybe this is only a me problem but I rarely get days where I can just devote an entire day to playing a game. Blue prince is deep too so if you want to “complete the game” it will likely take you over a week of playing every day.

Another issue I had with the game is the lack of a built in note taking system. After “finishing” blue prince, I checked the number of screenshots I had taken and I took 380 screenshots. That is insane. This is my opinion but if a game requires you to take that many screenshots it should have a note taking system. One of the big issues is that you have no idea what is and isn’t a clue and since the game is a roguelike, you don’t know if and when you will see a particular clue again. What this basically meant for me was that I had to screenshot anything I thought that might be useful because who knows if I need it later. The game also punishes you for moving so you can’t just go back and check if you forget. Doing so can ruin your run. I was shocked that people were praising the game for not including a note taking system once I was done with the game. It was torture having an aha moment only to realize I had to go dig through my 380 screenshots to go puzzle out the solution. Yeah I also had a notebook but I used it sparingly especially after “early game”.

The third issue I had was around how some of the puzzles are terribly designed. I will give you the most damning example. I had solved a pretty indepth puzzle in blue prince except instead of a solution it gave me a riddle. The riddle was cryptic but I thought I had a good idea of what the riddle meant. The problem was with how I would confirm the solution. Because the riddle basically said to stand in one spot for a really long time (in real life). I tried that and it didn’t work. This was a puzzle that pissed me off enough I finally looked up a solution since I didnt want to waste my gaming session basically afking the entire time.

This was a huge waste of time. I absolutely hate puzzles like this. In my opinion if you have a puzzle that requires someone to literally wait for a long time, the solution better be obvious and not some cryptic riddle.

All of this was made worse by the next game I played at the time which was Chants of Sennaar. A game that was way more polished than blue prince. The contrast between the games made me sour on my experience further.

Yeah I feel like this is the golden age of gaming. There are so many good games. A lot of them are just indie.

All, top 1 day

Yeah I have chinese vinegar. A while back I made it both ways and I couldnt tell a difference which is why these days I just use white vinegar since its cheaper and so I can save the chinese vinegar for more important things like dumplings :D

Thanks!

Hot and Sour Soup

Ingredients

• 8 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
• 225g shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 225g cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
• wood ear (remember to presoak if using), thinly sliced
• 1 (225g) can bamboo shoots, drained (optional)
• ¼ cup white vinegar
• 2 tsp sugar
• ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 0.5 cm slice of ginger
• 1 tsp chili garlic sauce
• ¼ cup cornstarch
• 2 large eggs, whisked
• 225g soft tofu cut into 1 cm cubes
• 4 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• white pepper
• salt

Note: The recipe contains three different fungi. All 3 fungi are optional, however you should add at least one. Preference is Shiitake > Cremini > Wood ear. Ideally, you should at the very least add Shiitake or Cremini. If you can add all three, add all three.

Instructions

1. In a large stock pot, combine the broth, mushrooms, bamboo shoots (if using), ginger. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

2. Remove ginger. Add white vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and chili garlic sauce.

3. In a small bowl, whisk ¼ cup of water with the cornstarch until smooth. Once the soup is simmering, stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for about 1 minute, until the soup thickens.

4. Bring soup back to a rolling boil. While stirring the soup in a circular motion, slowly drizzle in the whisked eggs to create delicate ribbons.

5. Stir in most of the green onions (reserve a little for garnish), sesame oil, and tofu. Add a pinch of white pepper. Taste the soup. Adjust:

   • Salt for saltiness/flavor.
   • White pepper for spiciness or chili garlic sauce to make it a lot more spicy.
   • Sugar if too sour.
   • Vinegar if not sour enough.

6. Ladle into bowls and garnish with the remaining green onions. Serve immediately.

Disclaimer: although no recipe I share will ever explicitly say to add msg just know I always add a little bit (usually at the end, during the tasting and salting phase) to whatever I make.

This should be an easy fix but it’s not. The joys of programming :D.

I’m working on it.
