I'm to the point where I am "hungry" for a new game, but I have no idea what would be a good choice. I've been playing a lot of Raft, and now I'm to the point where I'm reluctant to move further through the story because the POIs get more difficult. I mean, I can do them, but I'm not sure I'm up for the frustration of driving a snowmobile again. Not that I'm ready for Temperance yet. I recently did Tangeroa so Varuna Point is next, I think. With all the underwater stuff. I will eventually do it, but I am not excited.

Last night I went back into 7 Days to Die and did the Navezgane Hospital job. I was happy that I remembered to immediately retreat after triggering the mob on the roof - it's so much easier to tackle them solo when they have to jump down to your level and then cross the skylights to get to you. But I'm to the point in that game where it's feeling a little more like "chores" than enjoyment - turn in a quest, sell some stuff, get a new quest, try to buy books but the trader doesn't have them, craft a bunch of ammo, go do a new quest, repeat. Oh and don't forget to check the dew collectors, the beehive, and the crops that probably need to be harvested and replanted.

Maybe I should build a new base so I have somewhere closer to the jobs I'm being offered. I've done that in the past and I don't love it, but it can make getting through POIs easier.

I feel like I should point out that I mainly like 7 Days to Die for things other than the shooting. I do like some peril in my survival crafting games, but I don't like it to be too big a piece of the mix, if that makes sense.

Anyway - looking for a survival crafting game. I tried Valheim but it did not suit. I like my survival crafting games a little easier to survive. I also don't like games that are too "cute." I would say Planet Crafter was right on the edge of being too cute for me - the animals were almost too much. Aloft was about right, but some of the parkour was a little rough.

So what is out there that is similar to Raft, 7 Days to Die, Planet Crafter, and Aloft?

Whitewater rafting on the Illinois River, near Grants Pass, Oregon, through the biggest rapid, the Green Wall, a class V, on a sweep boat no less (making it extra-difficult).

I've floated this stretch of river at least 15 times, its wild, 32 miles and 36 named rapids.

Можно ли доверить важные документы open-source LLM: эксперимент Рег.облака и Raft

Привет, Хабр! На связи команды Рег.облака и Raft . За последние годы автоматизация работы с юридическими документами прошла несколько этапов: регулярные выражения, классический NLP, первые нейросетевые модели. Почти всегда результат упирался в одно и то же — либо качество оказывалось недостаточным для бизнеса, либо сопровождение и доработки делали решение слишком дорогим. В начале декабря Рег.облако выделило грант команде Raft на использование облачных серверов с GPU A100 80 ГБ. Задача эксперимента — проверить, как современные open-source LLM работают с длинными юридическими документами и можно ли использовать их для промышленного извлечения бизнес-критичных данных. В этой статье мы разбираем результаты эксперимента: с какими ограничениями столкнулись, какие инженерные решения оказались критичными и к каким метрикам в итоге пришли.

I play a lot of 7 Days to Die (it is a game where you have to survive in a zombie-infested post-apocalyptic world, and every 7 days the moon goes red and the zombies get extra spicy about wanting to eat your brains).

I find it relaxing. I run a quest or two, do Horde Night if that's where I'm at in the cycle, and sell a bunch of stuff to the traders.

They update stuff occasionally and I have to figure it out (like how they changed how you interact with biomes other than your home biome), but overall it's fine.

I got a little tired of doing the same stuff all the time, so I went back to Aloft and beat it again. It's an okay game (also still being updated, so there were a lot of things that were new to me).

I had been missing my other "comfort" game though. I had not played Raft in a long time, so I started a new game this weekend.

I do not know if they have changed anything - I'm thinking not, but it feels different to me. I used to feel like I was really good at Raft, but I feel like I am mid (at best) right now. I can reliably defeat Bruce, but I really struggle with the wild boars, and the screechers are absolutely impossible.

I feel like my character exhausts her food and water a lot faster than she should (even when eating cooked meals, which I remember giving extra nourishment). And she seems to get hurt a lot easier. Or maybe I should say when she gets hurt, it seems to take more of her health than it seems like it should.

Some of this I will be able to mitigate as I acquire more stuff. Once I have enough leather, I will be able to make body armor and a helmet. But that won't help the food/water issue.

Maybe I should have started my new world on an easier setting. Maybe I need to build back up to where I was as far as my game skills.

Here's where I am in the game: I have a llama, so I can get wool. I managed to get some dirt despite the screecher raining rocks on my head all the way to the cave. So I was able to build a dirt plot and grow grass to feed the llama. I have a cooking pot, a large grill, and two smelters. I'm growing beets and potatoes so I can keep myself pretty full on vegetable stew. I have two of the advanced water purifiers so I can keep myself hydrated and water the grass for the llama.

I think I should make a third smelter and use one for regular metal, one for copper, and one for seaweed/glass/puffer fish powder.

I should try to find another llama, probably. And even though I tend to dislike the POIs, I should start the story. Finding some new blueprints and being able to buy stuff from the traders will help.

Even though I feel like I'm struggling a little bit, I still love the soundtrack and a lot of the visuals.
