The local AI Primer in Artificial Intelligence LittleTinyFrogs Forums

I've taken the deep dive into local AI so you don't have to. My feed is filled with local AI stuff. There's a lot of "boy who cried wolf" feeling around it because I hear claims and then only later you find out they were running on $100k of hardware. For that I could subscribe to Claude Max, Codex Pro and Grok Super Heavy Build for decades. What I really wanted to know is what hardware can do what. What were the real limitations and what they could really do. And so I du

Reply to Last DLC price in Sins II Feedback Sins2 Forums

I am not sure where you think there are all these profits you speak of. The game studios are going bankrupt. We are in the midst of a game crash because developers can't afford to make games at the prices users seem to think games should cost. I empathize with you. 30 EUR is a lot. It is on sale for 23 EUR right now at least. Stardock continues to do well because we have a lot of different titles. I can say that this will be the las

Reply to Last DLC price in Sins II Feedback Stardock Forums

Whose greed are you referring to? It's on sale for $23 right now. Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion was $29.99 in 2012. Galactic Civilizations III: Crusade was $29.99 in 2017. Most of Paradox's major expansions are $29.99 as well And putting aside how much everything else has gone up in cost since 2012, the other thing that has hit hard since 2012 is the VAT that developers are forced to eat that wasn't in effect in 2012. So for instance, the typ

GalCiv IV Dev Journal #118: Oligarchies in Federations & Empires in GalCiv IV Dev Journals GalCiv4 Forums

How might a hyper-capitalistic civilization develop in the future? That’s the question we wanted to play out and the upcoming expansion pack for Galactic Civilizations IV, Federations & Empires, will answer it. The Oligarchy form of government results in a very different set of gameplay mechanics from the other governments and today we’re going to dive into it. The Background Here are some early concepts we played with how to manage these that I thought you m

So what's next for WinCustomize? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

For the first time in many years, Stardock has invested in a massive upgrade to its server hardware. It's, by far, the most expensive and expansive hardware upgrade we've done. Part of it was necessitated by last year's near destruction of not just this site but all of Stardock's tech infrastructure. About a year ago, we had an issue in our datacenter that caused many of our critical VMs to become corrupted and required us to reconstruct nearly ev
