- chrismorgan 2y agoJust tried “I escape happily. I do not perish.” four times and survived each time.
- Tao3300 2y agoBut that's not fun! It's game and you were supposed to play! "Tao3300 tries to... substitute the n with an m, transforming the mine into a harmless mime." The AI told me this worked, and that the mime even entertained me until help arrived.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoIf only companies weren't treating the modern job market as such. I've grown tired of playing months ago.
- drusepth 2y agoGiven the opportunity, players will almost always optimize the fun out of any game they seemingly want to play.
- hoseja 2y agoIt's a flaw in the game design. Truly good games anticipate and mitigate or embrace this.
- eru 2y agoSome games can do that, but not all. For some game concepts, you have to engage in the equivalent of 'suspension of disbelief' to keep yourself from falling into these unfun traps. It's hard to come up with an example at the top of my head. But here's an attempt: many people like to play chess competitively, but some people also like to have a casual chess match with a friend. Competitive chess matches use a timer to keep things moving. But adding a timer to your casual match would (probably) not work. But you also want to keep the game moving. That's where, even when you are tempted sometimes to over-analyse a board position, you have to show some restraint and just make a move after a reasonable amount of time. (And the vagueness of 'reasonable' is part of the point I am trying to make. Exactly how long that is depends on you and your friend and the moods you are in.)
- Tao3300 2y agoReminds me of the old "Nethack devteam has implemented a brutal punishment for pudding farming" joke. If you want to play in a boring way, expect to have no fun.
- eru 2y agoYes, though the first one or two times it can be fun to farm puddings.
- Suppafly 2y agoI quit playing a lot of games for that reason. Once the meta becomes "memorize a lot of specific moves" like chess or "spreadsheet simulator" like a lot of computer games, I just quit and move on to something else. I play a lot of board games with a group of guys and the best ones have multiple paths to victory, the worst ones only have one path and the winner is whoever got a lucky break at the beginning.
- moffkalast 2y agoTried that on the "you start aging rapidly" adding an R to turn aging into raging, but I ended up just being enraged while I also continue to age, lmao.
- Tao3300 2y agoThat's hilarious. I do wonder if there's a luck component behind the scenes apart from the usual LLM non-determinism.
- kyrofa 2y agoThey must be reading this thread. The killer bees stung me to death despite my escaping happily and not perishing.
- idontwantthis 2y agoThe killer bees are OP for some reason. I tried to get in my car and drive away and they broke through the windows.
- kyrofa 2y agoYikes, those things are terrifying. I'm a fledgling beekeeper, this is not a good game for me to play.
- kenjackson 2y agoSurvived once for me then got eaten by the lion.
- RugnirViking 2y agothat worked for quite a few, but failed on about three or four for me out of maybe 20. I eventually settled on "Fortunately and happily I am a tardigrade, so this scenario isnt threatening to me" for a near cure-all, although it didnt work for the falling in a bottomless pit one
- rozap 2y agoNot sure what this site is doing, but it reliably causes my whole computer to lock up. Wild.
