That's pretty cool! Context is everything.

I want to set up AI search for this forum. Load every single message into context, and let it rip. You could search for things even without the correct term.

It's that language learning server you're in, if you want to mess around with it. 

There is some weird issue I'm seeing with the Discord API. Not sure what to do about it. But it mostly works.

I feel like in practice, you'd probably want to train a lora by sending in messages like: 

post number #, author: , date:, post contents.  

Otherwise, you'd have a huge context...

I updated my Discord server's bot, to call the Ollama endpoint to generate a response locally.

Context of the last 10 messages, which it can find confusing. And it currently responds to everything except itself.

Yeah just wondering if my meh reaction is since it didn't show anything new to me.

As a fellow puzzle game fan,.. yes i think you are jaded from all your prior knowledge.   But i do agree with you above.   This looks great for puzzle game fans and not something the mainstream will care about.

um.. i think you shared one of his video a year or so ago.  so i saw that.  visually it looked nothing like what i saw today.  that footage had the core gameplay but graphics were pretty place holder.   

i've never been one to watch the special features on a dvd about how they made the movie.  and watching dev streams spanning years sounds like the same thing but only 100x worse.  i just want final products and not "early access".  i don't care how the sausage is made.

Best modern lara was 2013 lara before they listened to fans and redid her for the sequels.

i assume this is accurate because i found it on the internet:



i like them all well enough but i generally agree.  2103 was great.  sexy but in a way that was consistent with a real human female.  i also like she was very dirty all the time which is pretty consistent with all the running around outdoors she did.

i love uncharted and the liked the last 3 tomb raider games.  so i want to say i'll like these too.  ...but i feel like lara's character model is a bit off.  like most of the game is going for a realistic vibe and lara is like mostly realistic but also using a bit of that very unrealistically proportioned hour glass shape and a kind of gamey face.  i think i preferred the older character model:

 

so yeah, basically i'm agreeing with you.  it's not bad so much as they don't seem consistent with each other.

Is this your first time seeing it, or have you watched his dev streams?

Some things seem very intriguing. 
And it seems like they're doing a lot more with characters.

But I also feel like Returnal is very gameplay driven, and I'd assume it's the same here, and I feel like they should really show more of that in the trailers.

having played returnal i've seen enough gameplay to know what i'm getting.  i'm 100% in.   i'll be happy to pick up the game and find out that there are things in the game i didn't know about.  too often i spoil games by over watching trailers.

but this looks amazing to me.   can't wait.

Didn't realize they were doing two Tomb Raider games. 

They're so weird looking at both of the trailers.

The 2027 game looks weirdly very gamey and highly detailed at the same time. And it seems like more is going on compared to the 2026 game.
