... Dreaming about a game? Seriously?..

:laugh: .

Words cannot fathom how stupid that is when you're past the age of.. say.. 10.

If you're dreaming about GTA 4, you need to seek help, professional psychological style help.

What a load of rubbish :|

Instead of spending all that time attempting and failing to be smart, you might want to you know maybe try and fix those broken sarcasm detectors :huh: no?

Geez I think all of Neowin needs to pull together enough strength so maybe then we can pull your head out of your own arse? :hmmm:

You cannot just insult somebody and then try and relive yourself of the responsibility by saying it was sarcasm.....Please, don't insult my intelligence. It was not just an honest bad joke because I don't know who is juvenile enough to take that as a joke!

only time i get dreams is if i wake up at 9 then go back to bed.

DMT is the drug that creates dreams inside your mind and your mind probably produces a large enough amount that it completely knocks you out striking the dream(trip) from your memory.

Went to see Iron Man with my coworker last night, and he also had GTA IV. I had mentioned that I actually dreamt about GTA, and he said he has for the past two nights now.

We then wondered if R* somehow figured subliminal messages and certain people are responsive to it. :laugh:

AHA so I'm not crazy! At least, not the only one :D

Rockstar might have added subliminal messages....to make sure we keep playing even during sleep! Talk about game of the year....more like game of the century because it might be the first game that gets displaced into our dreams!

I've been dreaming of me sexing up girls, going around random places in the neighborhood, just slaying random people and having breast since well before GTA4 arrived, probably about the time I hit my teens about a decade ago, and while that might seem weird to some at least give me credit for never posting a topic about it on a public forum, especially not Neowin. And no, I'm not sure where I'm going with that but I'm just as lost as to where this topic is heading also.

Just curious to see how many people can actually admit to this :)

By the way, just so we are clear this has nothing to do with how old / mature a person is. Dreams aren't exactly affected by those attributes. As Freud thought, dreams are mere unresolved conflicts that we are once again forced to relive but in a masked way. See, he believed that the "id" component of the psyche is where the unconscious part of our mind lies. He thought that we store our most horrifying thoughts and memories in the "id" which doesn't allow for these to displace into the conscious mind because if they did, it would be traumatic! Dreams are not direct messages. They mask actual thought and memories as a way of preventing us from consciously re-living those memories.

So you see? I am just trying to get a sense of whether this game affects people as much as previously estimated. I am not trying to waste anyone's time. I am honestly just curious.

I don't really know anything about psychology, but whilst my friend was revising it for her exam the other day I read about some of Freud's theories and things, and I have to say that guy was a complete weirdo! :laugh:

Yes, most people thought Freud was nuts! Maybe he was, but he did make some good points.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By +Random Stranger · Posted

      I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By tradesetter · Posted

      The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
