say you have no life without telling us you have no life

Kombatologist657d ago

Could say the same for someone with 798 comments on N4G. But as long as you enjoy what you do and it's not hurting anyone, what does it matter?

Bemi657d ago

That is how I feel when I play Power Wash Simulator, it may appear like a waste of time but it so satisfying for my mind!

lucian229657d ago

798 comments that take a minute over the course of years isnt much; sitting there mining a stupid game instead of playing a real game is a major difference. You're trying to justify those kinds of people who write their name 2 million times. it isn't me so whatever, but it's sad that the person had nothing better to do. 45 million blocks is just insane.

Neonridr656d ago

@lucian229 - who says it's stupid? You?

MIDGETonSTILTS17656d ago

Have you tried clearing in Minecraft?

Of course we’re all happy if he is happy, but it is a pretty empty experience.

5 years of it is unfathomable for me.

Kombatologist655d ago

@lucian229

Not only has clearing a Minecraft map never been done before, but he's also a YouTuber with 25K subscribers. Which means he's making money off of it. You're not making any money posting toxic opinions on N4G.

“Minthical is a YouTuber”.

lucian229657d ago

so what you are saying is what I feared even more than the original article.....people WATCH him do this

TheAlexWalters657d ago (Edited 657d ago )

Big talk for a dude making comments in the comments section of a preview of a gaming article. Why do people feel the need to crap on other people? Life is so simple, my dude. If you don't have any interest in this, then why are you here and why are you taking the time to comment about it? At least this dude enjoyed what he did. You're spending your time wallowing in something you don't like and have no interest in. Someday you'll see that makes you the loser, not this dude. And please tell us all about all of these "important" and "cool" things you've done with your life to put yourself in a position to define those for others. I pity people like you, I really do.

Wow. 5 years to click through over 45 Million blocks

That sounds terrible lol

mandf657d ago

Way over 45million blocks

adamwparker657d ago

Mr. Beast started out doing this kind of stuff. Counting forever, fidget spinnering forever, etc.
This is how you get rich people!

I admire his determination. But holy crap that would be incredibly boring.

lucian229657d ago

only admire it if it was something useful or cool

Snowb420657d ago (Edited 657d ago )

I dunno. Just that he was so determined to do something so boring and repetitive for so long. Kinda wish I could be half as determined when it comes to some things. lol...

MasterChief3624657d ago

Dude... stop commenting on this post. This is like your 5th one I've seen and I'm only 2 comment threads down. We get it. You don't care about the achievement. Just leave.

lucian229657d ago

lmao I say that to my one friend who studies inputs/combos for fighting games; I told him if he put that determination into real life martial arts, he'd be a badass lmao

TheAlexWalters657d ago

LOL! This clown thinks studying martial arts makes you a "badass". Way to miss the point.

After10Ben657d ago (Edited 657d ago )

I agree with you. I was just talking to my BJJ professor yesterday about how long it took him to earn his black belt. 13 years. I've met people who have played Elder Scrolls online for the past 8 years, some of them daily players more or less (That's literally thousands of hours of time dedicated to a single game). If you train in BJJ 5 hours a week, you be be tough in just a few months, not to mention a few years.

If these gamers just took 3 hours a week out of their time and applied it to a practical skill (doesn't have to be fighting), their entire life would change for the better. In fairness, it doesn't involve any real risk to press buttons on a controller as opposed to getting occasionally injured and choked out 10,000 times on your way to a blackbelt.

Oops, somehow I left the wrong link. The link I meant to leave was a famous quote from Joe Rogan about the practical use of BJJ.

MadLad657d ago

Guess he's really determined to keep his virginity.
Probably waiting for marriage or something.

yuukiliu657d ago

And to think if he spent 10% of that time at the gym he might have something to show for his ‘hard work’.

TheAlexWalters657d ago

Yet here you are watching it, reading about it and commenting about it. Imagine if you spent that time doing something useful. The concept of irony hasn't quite sunk in yet, eh chief?

MadLad656d ago

People enjoy watching trainwrecks.

Neonridr656d ago

I mean he does, he's probably the first person to ever accomplish this, and he's a growing youtuber who is making money doing something he loves. But yeah, a six pack would be totally more useful.

F*** AI

Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.

It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.

....you know it takes people to program the AI.... right? It isnt like it is sentient. We haven't reach skynet level of situation or anywhere close to the matrix just yet.

That's next Thursday.

Einhander197212d ago (Edited 12d ago )

It takes a people to program the AI then that AI is used for who knows how many games eliminating countless jobs which only grows as AI is used for more and more game creation functions.

What you're saying is so ridiculously short sighted and truly larking any kind of understanding and foresight.

Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.

Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.

MrDead13d ago

Yes we can't wait for the work of others to be used without the need to pay them so that MS can profit even more from the people they fire.

I_am_Batman13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

There is no chance I'd ever use something like this, especially if it's not part of the core game design, but a layer on top of it. It's way too much handholding. Many games already feel like busy work, because they don't let the player figure things out on their own. Having a real-time interactive guide defeats the purpose of playing the game in the first place in my opinion.

If this were to become the standard like you predict, we'll see more and more video games get away with bad design, because people will just be used to ask for help from the AI companion anyway.

Number1TailzFan13d ago

Well Nintendo don't need this with some of their games these days, with invincible characters, items, easy bosses etc.. they do the hand holding built in

helicoptergirl13d ago

Takes "hand holding" in games to a whole new level.

BlackDoomAx11d ago

Because human nature xD Almost every new technology had these kind of comments.

1 major advantage to this will be launching it straight from SteamVR. You have to make a custom shortcut to get it working right now in VR.

UltimateOwnage15d ago

This is good news. It will be much easier to get it installed on my devices without using workarounds.
