    I wouldn’t say it’s a flop but it is kinda light on content. I finished they game on week 1 played a bit more on week 2 where nothing changed I then uninstalled it. I’m back right now because they’ve released new content though.

    Most games do have huge concurrent player falloffs pretty quickly helldivers 2 currently has a 24hr peak of 63k and I wouldn’t call it a flop. Path of Exile 2 currently has a 24hr peak of 17k players, I wouldnt call it a flop. Somehow Dragon age veilguard was at the top of the steam charts in week 1 and we all know it was a flop. I’m not sure steam charts are a particularly useful metric. Fromsoft seems very happy with the amount of players in NightReign and that’s probably the most useful metric we have.





  • It’s funny, to me I’ve had an llm give me the wrong answer to questions every time.

    The first time I couldn’t remember how to read a file as a string in python and it got me most of the way there. But I trusted the answer thinking “yeah, that looks right” but it was wrong, I just got the io class I didn’t call the read() function.

    The other time it was an out of date answer. I asked it how to do a thing in bevy and it gave me an answer that was deprecated. I can sort of understand that though, bevy is new and not amazingly documented.

    On a different note, my senior who is all PHP, no python, no bash, has used LLM’s to help him write python and bash. It’s not the best code, I’ve had to do optimisations on his bash code to make it run on CI without taking 25 minutes, but it’s definitely been useful to him with python and bash, he was hired as a PHP dev.
