Happy Wars Beta


Recommended Posts

Well, as far as I've read in Microsoft's Xbox 360 dashboard fall update beta terms of agreement (whoaa, that's a long name for something), we aren't allowed to talk about the new update. It doesn't say anything about we not being allowed to talk about games that may or may not be in beta.

But yeah, it's a ton of fun. Everyone who's in the beta should try it out.

I find it hilarious that it's a confidential public beta, and the Xbox site itself shows if you're in it to your friends.

Wow haha what does it say? I mean it just shows that you're playing Happy Wars? Or it shows that you're running the new dashboard?

The website has no concept of "confidential" stuff, so it shows if you're using IE or such (Which is why I know a friend of mine is in the beta, and he'd know the same about me, etc.)

Edit: Here, for me it shows all my friends that have run it once, so they must all be in the beta program, etc.

I have no idea about the game but WTF is a "confidential public beta"?

Game/beta is released to the public (even if a small sample of people) as opposed to internal employees. Things are technically suppose to still be confidential since only a small % of the actual public are able to play.

    • It depends, but it's also going to push more adoption of open source AI models that can run locally, I'm seeing a pattern among the US and China when it comes to closed and open source AI models, they close when they feel they have the advantage, open up when they feel they don't. This has little to do with security and everything to do with control, the irony is that the ones that do go open and get the community behind them are the ones that have the real control, hence why we keep seeing this seesaw from closed to open. Ultimately, it's far too dangerous to let any one country or corporation to control AI, which is why open source AI or AI you can run locally on your hardware is very likely going to be the future of AI over the long run, this is especially the case as AI becomes more powerful and useful for user, privacy, security and censorship will become more of an issue for users and businesses.
    • A person should only be required to click through to an article if they want to know more details. The headline should give basic facts. A basic fact would include the name of the service being shut down.
    • That would probably be a good outcome, but it would also require other "features" be changed to comply, such as Auto play, scrolling, and advertising. Having the laws shift these platforms back to a socially responsible and useful places is a benefit for everyone. The addictive nature is the problem, and while many blame the individual, psychologists would suggest the platform is using a well trodden playbook to hook in more revenue..
    • It is in fact being discontinued in the US in July.
    • It was a rather nice rant as I rather dislike when people support the shitifcation of the Internet. My comment also factually applied the definition of "clickbait' to this headline unlike your comment. I have been reading this site for some 20 years now so I will call them out when they are doing carp they shouldn't be doing but thanks for your concern. You can't even do a search by headline anymore to do a quick search to find something because most of the titles lack all the relevant keywords that should be there.
