Lords: * Alexander * Yaros Topics: * Somewhat Dim Mirror * Unique and weird self-bootstrapping computer language - Forth * I've been getting emails from an Online Casino Guide offering analysis of the relative popularity of characters from the Mario Bros. movie. How did they get my email, and how did they know that this is the kind of thing I want to gamble on? * The Kraken, by Alfred Tennyson * https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheKraken(poem) * NES dev scene and new games still being released * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0Yg0GAX5vw * You have to heat a black hole to cool it down * Winston is suddenly really into Power Rangers which I'm not super thrilled about, but it does make me happy that the appeal of cheesy MIDI rock won't be lost on future generations * Esper says: "The tradition of taking Japanese action stuff and reworking it into an entirely different show is pretty wild, and pretty common. The original idea behind the western release of Sailor Moon was actually going to be a live action cast of young girls who transform into "cartoon scouts" or something, and the legendary anime Macross (known for animating lots of missles with cool smoke trails) was brought over here and entirely rewritten to be Robotech, an already existing western property. Power Rangers specifically comes from the Super Sentai tokusatsu series, of which there's actually two or three dozen seasons, each with more or less individual continuity. They're fun and goofy to watch if you get a chance to see the originals; I was mostly surprised by how self-aware they are." Microtopics: * Just playing games you already know whenever you find the time for games. * Dystopian fiction about all the little annoying things. * Dystopian fiction about all the terrible TV shows that are on now. * A guy who thought his idea would work but it didn't. * A black mirror but a little less black. * How really shiny black things work. * Logging in to watch people make themselves miserable. * Reverse polish notation. * Giving up on operating systems and deciding to live inside a Forth interpreter. * Going back to the Cambrian period and being like "what is this shell thing and what is it trying to accomplish?" * How Forth is like Eurovision. * Borrowing someone's RPN calculator and being very confused for a moment. * Your Dymaxion map of the globe. * The next emulations of Hewlett-Packard reverse polish notation calculators. * Online Casino Guides and the kinds of email they send. * A gaming and entertainment experience. * Naming your movie @ and getting incredible engagement on Twitter. * How recently Nethack has been patched. * Carpetology and the study of rugs and carpets even though they're not in the same phylum. * The Dungeons and Dragons Chick Tract. * A kid named Wario. * The Abysmal Sea. * Unnumbered and enormous polypi. * Interpreting a poem as a political statement when it's clearly about how giant squids are super cool. * Lauding this poet's skill with language even though he didn't know the difference between abyssal and abysmal. * Calling a poem a sonnet when it doesn't meet the criteria of a sonnet just because Tennyson wrote it. * Wanting to be huge and eat sponges, like the kraken. * Dendy. * Buying NES games made this year. * Sokoban with a Twist. * MOON 8. * Releasing chiptunes on vinyl shaped like a square. * Russian Roulette for the NES making good use of the Zapper. * Two people who are really bad at archery. * Pointing your Rambo exploding arrow at the exploding barrel sitting right next to you. * A turn-based thing where you can kill zombies. * Forklift simulators in VR. * NES Maker and GB Studio. * LLVM's NES back-end. * Making a NES game in C and never using local variables. * Finding the free time to do all your hobbies. * The bigger I am the colder I am, and if you heat me up I get bigger and colder. What am I? * A tear in geometry that just leaks shit. * Care and feeding of your pet black hole. * Pascal's Breakfast. * Whether it's in your best interest to believe in waffles. * The International Cult Registry. * Trying to make a portmanteau of waffle and apocalypse. * Violence against putty monsters. * The Horsemen of the Apocalypse Power Rangers spinoff. * A Power Rangers spinoff made in the last three years that has the exact same production values of the original. * Writing a new TV show around the action scenes from a different TV show. * Taking the most expensive special effects shots from every movie and putting them all in one uber-movie. * Tricking Harrison Ford into being in your movie because he's so old now.
In which Tod and Claire discuss The Horror at Red Hook by HP Lovecraft, which was first published in the January, 1927 issue of Weird Tales. Please note, this is a horror podcast, so it might not be for everyone. We swear some in this episode, but more importantly, we talk, at length, about Lovecraft's unabashed racism and nativism, as well as discuss many scenes of police brutality.This is, near as we can tell, the worst story we've read so far on the podcast, when it comes to both the story and the barely concealed subtext. We're glad to have had the opportunity to discuss it, and of course, the portrayal of Detective Malone in the Tell No Tales staging of The Atrocities at Arkham was an absolute delight. But, boy oh boy, that source material is not great.In any event, speaking of Tell No Tales, you should follow them on whatever social media they use these days, as well as our other new friend of the show, Screen Rebels. Our mission now is to get both West End London theater companies to come to Providence for NecronomiCON 2024 and perform for American audiences in Lovecraft's home town! Let's make this happen!Now for the links mentioned in the show:Nocturne, the vampire bar that might be owned by the band Massive Attack, is described here. It's really pretty neat. Go there if you have a chance.Nethack, the greatest video game ever made, is currently on display at New York's Museum of Modern Art. You too can dance with succubi and incubi.Read the 1902 edition of Encyclopedia Britannica, if you want to delve into history.Alternatively, you can read a 2018 Norwegian Refuge Council report on present-day Yezidis and the recurring genocide they've been suffering since forever. They are real people and definitely not devil worshippers.For lighter listening, catch our ad on Greatest Generation episode 455. It's toward the end, but really, you should listen to the whole episode.And here's how I learned how to pronounce Pascoag.Claire mentioned the Magnificent Mile in reference to Chicago, and I only mention this is because Tod will be in Chicago in the middle of May, 2023 for a secret hacker conference.

TCW Podcast Episode 171 - A Rogue's Survival Part 2 In part two we look more closely at the evolution of rogue and its descendants. The game Hack which lead to the development of NetHack, and Moria. These games continued down branching paths to have influences on MMOs, Diablo, and others. We then jump ahead to the modern indie scene, and how the random generation aspects were adapted to create Spelunky. Spelunky in turn inspired other creators to create games using random generation elements. The most notable of these being The Binding of Isaac, FTL, and Crypt of the Necrodancer. It is through these four games that we can see that the concept of randomly generated maps and scenarios are not limited to dungeon crawls, or ASCII art. The concepts can be brought into other genres including platforming, real time strategy, and rhythm games.

Andy and Dave discuss the latest in AI news and research, including a proposal from the Ada Lovelace Institute with 18 recommendations to strengthen the EU AI Act. [0:57] NVidia updates its Neural Radiance Fields to Instant NeRF, which can reconstruct a 3D scene from 2D images nearly 1000 times faster than other implementations. [2:53] Nearly 100 Chinese-affiliated researchers publish a 200-page position paper about large-scale models, a “roadmap.” [4:13] In research, GoogleAI introduces PaLM (Pathway Language Model), at 540B parameters, which demonstrates the ability for logical inference and joke explanation. [7:09] OpenAI announces DALL-E 2, the successor to its previous image-from-text generator, which is no longer confused by mislabeling an item; though interestingly demonstrates greater resolution and diversity to similar technology from OpenAI, GLIDE, but not rated as well by humans, and DALL-E 2 still has challenges with ‘binding attributes.' [11:32] A white paper from Gary Marcus look at ‘Deep Learning Is Hitting a Wall: What would it take for AI to make real progress?' which includes an examination of a symbol-manipulation system that beat the best deep learning systems at playing ASCII game NetHack. [16:10] Professor Chad Jenkins from the University of Michigan returns to discuss the latest developments, including the upcoming Department of Robotics, and a robotics undergraduate degree.

Wir hatten für die Unterstützer bei Steady/Patreon eigentlich eine "Wusstet ihr eigentlich …?"-Folge zu Rogue geplant, doch dann fiel uns auf, dass ein großer Teil der Sachen, die noch unbenutzt in den Recherchedokumenten standen, sich mit der Geschichte des Genres der Roguelikes beschäftigen. Daher haben wir entschieden, eine kurze Geschichte der frühen Roguelikes zu erzählen. Shout-out: Christopher Bär hat maßgeblich zur Recherche beigetragen. Hier sind die Spiele in der der Reihenfolge, in der wir sie besprechen: Beneath Apple Manor (1978) Hack (1982) NetHack (1987) Moria (1983) Angband (1990) Sword Of Fargoal (1982) Fatal Labyrinth / Dragon Crystal (1990) Mystery Dungeon (1993) Ancient Domains of Mystery (1994) Dungeon Crawl (1995) Weitere Folgen dieser Art und massenhaft andere Formate gibt es auf Patreon und Steady für Unterstützer ab ca. 5 Euro monatlich.
PixelSmiths: Stories of the Creative Minds Behind Indie Video Games
On this episode, Larry & Clinton talk with Julien Ribassin & Gabe Miller, creators of Firegirl: Hack & Splash Rescue, out now on Steam. Firegirl is a 2.5D rogue-like where you take on the role of a new firefighter, fighting fires and monsters as she works to save her city, and grow her fire brigade. In this fun conversation, they talk about Gabe's 'claim to fame' working on Strike Vector, Julien's rogue-like curse, drunken times at BitSummit, a driving game with dead fish, and the way their new game evolved from concept to finish. Other games that are discussed include: illumine, Disney's Magical Quest, Cuphead, NetHack, Rogue Legacy, Hades, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES), Spelunky, and RemiLore ----------------------------- Find Firegirl: Hack & Splash Rescue on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1608550/Firegirl_Hack_n_Splash_Rescue/ Visit their website: https://dejima.games/ Follow Julien on twitter: https://twitter.com/DejimaGames Learn more about your ad choices.

This Week in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence (AI) Podcast
Take our survey at twimlai.com/survey21! Today we're joined by Tim Rocktäschel, a research scientist at Facebook AI Research and an associate professor at University College London (UCL). Tim's work focuses on training RL agents in simulated environments, with the goal of these agents being able to generalize to novel situations. Typically, this is done in environments like OpenAI Gym, MuJuCo, or even using Atari games, but these all come with constraints. In Tim's approach, he utilizes a game called NetHack, which is much more rich and complex than the aforementioned environments. In our conversation with Tim, we explore the ins and outs of using NetHack as a training environment, including how much control a user has when generating each individual game and the challenges he's faced when deploying the agents. We also discuss his work on MiniHack, an environment creation framework and suite of tasks that are based on NetHack, and future directions for this research. The complete show notes for this episode can be found at twimlai.com/go/527.
Tone is joined by NetHack speedrun world-record-holder luxidream, who recently speedran the game for thousands of people at the ESA Summer 2021 marathon. They discuss speedrunning in NetHack and roguelikes, the new Jupiter Hell release, the deckbuilding card game Dominion and how it relates to roguelikes, the new DCSS patch, and more.

This is an encore presentation due to illness. In spite of that, and the poor audio quality, let's roll back 2016, to our 100th episode, when we all were served a reminder of what Linux gaming had been like for the entirety of skookie's lifetime before the advent of Steam. Original shownotes below. Enjoy. best linux games podcast, this week we feature the very latest on the controversial tsunami surrounding the two best games available for the operating system... that's right: "Tux Racer," and the visuall,y stunning state-of-the-art VR-Enabled MMORPG, "Nethack." We also take a moment to thank all of our friends and listeners, take a moment to fire crack Engineer Ivor Molina live on the air and mid-broadcast, and - by the time all the dust settled from our coverage of these, the only two games available for the GNU/Linux general computing platform, and the only two titles released in the last twenty years that can make that claim - we somehow manage to squeeze in a little news item about some stupid gimmicky rip-off called "Steam" and take a good, healthy thirty seconds to laugh at its expense as it is certaintly doomed to complete failure and will never ever bring anything good to this, our beloved house that Torvalds, Stallman, Aho, Kernighan, and Wein-guy built. ALL THIS AND MUCH MORE!

Since reinforcement learning requires hefty compute resources, it can be tough to keep up without a serious budget of your own. Find out how the team at Facebook AI Research (FAIR) is looking to increase access and level the playing field with the help of NetHack, an archaic rogue-like video game from the late 80s.

Today's guest is Jim Crawford, creator of Frog Fractions 1 and Frog Fractions 2 and co-host of the video games hot dog podcast. We talk about his very early love of programming, why he would tell his young self to just rip people off better, how Frog Fractions was born out of insecurity and the key to funny video games. We also talk about World of Warcraft may have got him fired, working in the early PC demo scene, tracker music, reading Dungeons and Dragons rule books for fun, the ahead of it's time Terminator game by Bethesda, and that time Star Wars made him kick a Gamecube. This is definitely nothing to do with an ARG. "Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers and me."

If you don't think you've read or at least seen any of David L. Craddock's phenomenal books on the game industry and game development, check again, you probably have. Some of the greatest stories of the development space have been captured in David's phenomenal pages, including Blizzard's early history with Diablo, tales from the days of NetHack and other early Roguelikes, and more recently, Yacht Club Games' action-packed development of Shovel Knight for Boss Fight Books. He kindly agreed to Skype in as Humble Bundle closes out its Boss Fight book bundle promotion (you still have about two days!) and his insight was every bit as interesting as I expected. This is a must-listen for writers of any kind, and I'd also put it on the required show list for anyone running or connected with an indie studio. David has explored and documented not only the development of many games we know and love, but the culture, the energy, and the trials of the people creating them--and his knack for framing captivating tales from their accounts is second to none.

For our INCOMPREHENSIBLY ACTUALLY REAL AND NOT MISCOUNTED one hundredth episode of the best linux games podcast, this week we feature the very latest on the controversial tsunami surrounding the two best games available for the operating system... that's right: "Tux Racer," and the visuall,y stunning state-of-the-art VR-Enabled MMORPG, "Nethack." We also take a moment to thank all of our friends and listeners, take a moment to fire crack Engineer Ivor Molina live on the air and mid-broadcast, and - by the time all the dust settled from our coverage of these, the only two games available for the GNU/Linux general computing platform, and the only two titles released in the last twenty years that can make that claim - we somehow manage to squeeze in a little news item about some stupid gimmicky rip-off called "Steam" and take a good, healthy thirty seconds to laugh at its expense as it is certaintly doomed to complete failure and will never ever bring anything good to this, our beloved house that Torvalds, Stallman, Aho, Kernighan, and Wein-guy built. ALL THIS AND MUCH MORE! Happy One Hundredth Episode! www.bestlinuxgames.com

Als das Netz wie auch die gesamte Computerspielkultur noch in den Kinderschuhen steckten entwickelte sich im Zuge der UNIX-Bewegung nach einem frühen Vorbild mit "NetHack" ein coomputerbasiertes Rollenspiel der besonderen Art. In der Ausgabe einerseits limitiert auf die ASCII-Terminals der Frühzeit trumpfte es dafür mit ungeahnter Komplexität und Spielwitz auf und reflektierte damit die Kreativität einer ganzen Computergeneration. NetHack war aber auch ein Pionier-Projekt der netzbasierten Open-Source-Softwareentwicklung, obwohl es der weltweiten Verbreitung des Internets schon einen Schritt voraus war. Im Gespräch mit Tim Pritlove berichtet Felix Vogel von seinen Erfahrungen mit NetHack und erläutert die besondere Faszination des Spiels, die Menschen auch heute noch weltweit in den Bann schlägt, wie durch zahlreiche öffentlichen Nethack-Servern, Spiel-Wettbewerbe und Software-Nachfolgeprojekte deutlich wird.
Recorded on December 10th, 2012 with Brian Fife, James Fingal and Thomas Westberg. Recently, MoMA announced their plans to show a collection of video games in 2013. The challenges of collecting and showing video games are discussed, and Jim, Brian and Tom talk about thier reactions to the games that were selected - this list is very different from what we would expect to see on any serious gamer’s top ten list.

Recorded on November 21st, 2012 with Brian Fife, James Fingal and Thomas Westberg. We’ve seen a dramatic shift in the way games are supported on the internet. Early on, gaming guides and magazines, as well as the occasional online FAQ or spoiler guide, were available, but now it’s almost a given that any game with a reasonable fan base has one or more dedicated websites around tricks, tips and strategies. Two of the biggest changes are that site platforms like wikia make it very easy to create these player-supported websites, and it is now common, particularly for large MMOs, to have the data files for the game reverse engineered. So-called “database” websites can provide a comprehensive list of all the items that could appear in the game, before players have discovered them. Jim, Brian and Tom talk about how these changes have impacted the way we play and interact with games. There’s certainly an opportunity for “help sites” to smooth over a rough patch in an otherwise well-designed game, but jumping directly to the loot tables has the ability to take a lot of the discovery and mystery out of a game… is it even possible to design a game with ‘secrets’ anymore?

Recorded on October 11, 2012 with Brian Fife, James Fingal and Thomas Westberg. Many games treat loot as another facet of levelling with different mechanics. Jim, Brian and Tom all have issues with the way that loot mechanics appear to be evolving in current games. Jim also has a principled objection to the way that loot reinforces materialism/consumerism. Many themes from Episode 5 - Grind are invoked. Loot can be a great cause of stress. First, rapidly-levelling players often “grow out” of their loot and gear needs to be constantly refreshed for a player to remain competitive. Games like Torchlight or Borderlands also throw a great volume of loot drops at players, which requires effort to sort and sell. Still, loot - particularly interesting and creative loot, has the ability to tug at our heartstrings.

Recorded on July 5th, 2012 with Brian Fife, James Fingal, and Thomas Westberg. Story-driven games and degrees of freedom in games are covered. Is a choose your own adventure interactive story really a “game”? How about puzzle games that are heavily biased towards a cutscene-based story? Is there a good way to classify or categorize games?
