League of Legends players have been found to be the most intelligent in an IQ survey of g*mers, with an average score of 120.4.

It's reported that playing video games can be beneficial for your brain and cognitive function. But if you've ever played a multiplayer game online, you may very well question that... however, the folks at WhichBingo surveyed 1,002 g*mers to find out which video game player bases are the smartest.

They partnered up with a team of psychologists to administer an intelligence test.

The remote IQ test assessed the cognitive skills of participants in four areas: verbal communication, mathematics, logic and visual reasoning.

Popular online strategy game League of Legends secured the highest IQ score of 120.4.

Following close behind in second was the player base of the successful single player title Black Myth: Wukong with an IQ of 119.8.

Baldur's Gate 3 players placed third overall, with an average IQ of 117.9. Then, Counter-Strike was fourth, with a 116.1 score, and it looks like Valorant wasn't part of the study.

On the other hand, FC 24/FIFA 23 players recorded the lowest IQ in the study, with an average score of 89.8.

For context on IQ scores, sub 85 is deemed below average intelligence, 85 -- 115 is deemed average intelligence, anything over 115 IQ is deemed above average intelligence.

The study also found that PC players had the highest average IQ with 114.1, and mobile/tablet g*mers had the lowest at 99.9, when working out the intelligence by platform. PlayStation g*mers had 111, Xbox 105.9 and Switch 103.4 on average.

In terms of gender, female g*mers had an average IQ of 107.9 in the study, and males 105.8.

Which games have the smartest players in terms of average IQ?

In a statement marking the survival horror classic's 10th birthday, creative director Al Hope said the development team would share more details "when we're ready."

Hope returns to lead development on the sequel having done so on the first game. In his statement published to X/Twitter, Hope said: "On the 10th anniversary, it seems only fitting to let you know that we have heard your distress calls loud and clear.

"Today, I'm delighted to confirm, on behalf of the team, that a sequel to Alien: Isolation is in early development. We look forward to sharing more details with you when we're ready."

In the video game Muslim 3D, users can adopt three-dimensional avatars and move around in virtual reproductions of holy Islamic sites: the Grand Mosque of Mecca, the Jamarat Bridge, the Plain of Arafat, and others. They can pray, read, interact with each other, take part in quests, go back in time to relive crucial historic moments in Islamic history, or embark on a virtual Hajj pilgrimage.

The game was developed by Bigitec Studio, a Germany-based Islamic digital media startup. Bilal Chbib, managing director of the studio, told Rest of World that the aim was for the game to create an "interactive environment where users could explore and learn about Islamic rituals, history, and lifestyle in a positive and compelling way."

Chbib, who grew up playing immersive role-playing video games, said he had dreamed of building something similar that explored Islamic history.

Chbib, who grew up playing immersive role-playing video games, said he had dreamed of building something similar that explored Islamic history.

"When you encounter Muslims in video games or movies, there is a high chance that they are depicted as terrorists or people who are backward," he said. "I believe Islamophobia and prejudice have one root: ignorance and lack of knowledge." Initiatives like Muslim 3D, he said, can help fight anti-Muslim prejudice. In the video game Muslims Game Islam: Eid Mubarak, for instance, players can be part of a virtual Muslim family, cook food for suhur (the predawn meal eaten during Ramadan), and go shopping for an iftar party. Muslim Tales, also created by Bigitec, offers interactive stories based on the Quran; in Muslim Sadiq 3D, players explore simulations of Mecca and other Islamic holy sites.

Muslim 3D is inspired by role-playing games like Skyrim and Assassin's Creed, which allow players to recreate historical locations like ancient Egypt. A demo version is available on Apple's App Store for free; Windows users can purchase an early access version of the game on video game distribution platform Steam. Users can buy "executive nameplate" NFTs and have their names "listed perpetually in the Hall of Dua" in the game, Chbib said. He hopes to bring Muslim 3D to virtual reality headsets next and said he is currently working on raising funds for the game's official release. The game is currently more of a statement piece, but Chbib hopes it will have a large active player base once he releases the full version.

Chbib said the video game industry, now a multibillion-dollar powerhouse globally, was the ideal medium to spread Islam's message. "It appeals to people across all ages and genders, proving that video games are not just a means to waste time but a valuable medium for education and engagement," he said.

D'Youville University in Buffalo, New York, has included Muslim 3D in its Gaming and Religion course. Clips from the game have drawn millions of views on YouTube; some commenters criticize the show for depicting "haram" (forbidden by Islamic law) practices. On Steam, Can Sungur, a well-known Turkish g*mer known for his Twitch streams and YouTube reviews of video games, called the game an "unprecedented opportunity to discover the wonders and knowledge of the Islamic world and mythology" but warned that non-player characters walking around users while they're praying at the virtual Kaaba is "unacceptable" and "totally haram." Another user praised the game for making "people of other religions … learn new things about Muslims, which can reduce misunderstanding and hate speech both in real life and online."

I bet they rushed it out in order to beat this groundbreaking masterpiece of gaming to the market:

!g*mers and robophiles alike, there is an indev interactive vr game where you can build and make your own ai robot companion

You need to order parts online in-game, assemble it, teach it how to walk and move, sit and explore around the map together.

this is the september update

which added stuff like hair styling (where you cut the hair by hand), painting (and robot screaming at being sprayed in the face)

The game itself uses A.I text generation and voices to give them speech, tho there's offline generation that will require a strongish system. Though openAI api keys are pretty cheap for a fair number of calls, and you can always check communities that scrape keys to borrow one.

The speech stuff in the newest update also added a way to just have them speak in "undertale voices" being just little sound effects with subtitles.

some drama I found to include

this caused some drama in a reddit thread he made

https://old.reddit.com/r/Unity3D/comments/1bmb26a/chatgpt_npc_for_myrobot_game/

>If you aren't interested enough to write your game, why should I be interested in playing your game?

as if you play any game solely on the interest the developer put in, or the fact its just meant to be a build your own waifu type game

of course anti-ai redditoids sound exactly like you imagine

anyway I like robots

These can be expanded as needed.

similar to the other Half Life AI video from today https://rdrama.net/h/ai_slop/post/305836/half-life-with-ultrarealistic-graphics-gen3

I remember this so well and it stuck with me. Before the actual game begins we're introduced to a few characters as literal children exploring in the woods. Trying to be brave they attack weak monsters with sticks. This is one of the best ways to introduce characters and I wish people did this instead of flashbacks. You get to see the characters grow out of being kitties but also it's the cutest god darn thing I've ever seen. Especially with this game in particular being so vibrantly colorful. Makes me wish Visions of Mana was piratable but alas it has Denovo.

Cope because there wasn't any homeless drama.

I fricking hated most of miles contributions to the story. Anything that didn't involve him chasing Li or helping Pete was shovkingly boring especially dealing with that deaf b-word Hailey.

There was unironically a side mission that involves you playing as hailey and cleaning iup graffiti. Also if you took a shot for everytime someone said the word community in this game, your liver would fail.

Peter was a gigantic cuck the entire time. Venom was fricking dope though.

Let's drop into this little village along the way. Who knows what we might find there?

I have a chat with the village chief.

Ye shall be as the gods, knowing good from evil.

Where have I heard that before? I know it's in Genesis, but who said it?

Let's head over to the church as long as we're here. Redactor's Divine Favor is depleted, but through some intensive prayer he can regain it.

Umm... wtf is going on here?

St. Simon Magus and St. Elymas. Have you figured it out yet?

There were a lot of them but they were poor unskilled villagers and they attacked us piecemeal so we made short work of them. The village chief had some armor slightly better than ours so I'll equip one of our people with it. (It's a good thing nobody complains about wearing the armor of a guy we just killed.) Now let's see what we can do about their demonic shrine.

Nice one Yuna. This is why we put so many points into her Religion skill. It really comes in handy sometimes. Sasha picks up a small increase to Virtue.

Now our cross country navigation is going to get complicated here because we're supposed to go "North of Bremen" but North of Bremen is the North Sea. So presumably we're looking for a place close by.

Oh frick. We're not just gonna die, we're gonna be dragged down into heck. Dying isn't such a big deal since ordinarily we'd just go to heaven and I'd have to create a new replacement character, but these bastards will steal our souls. There's no way we can beat them at this point. This is an utterly hopeless situation. Fortunately Redactor knows St. Anthony, the patron of hopeless causes.

Thanks for the intervention, bro!

We find Bremen. It's actually a little bit inland up the river. That explains a lot. We'll pop in for a bit to learn a new saint, maybe grab some bratwurst. The four choices we have are St. Francis and three extremely obscure ones. I remember that Francis is very generous in listening to you even if you aren't terribly virtuous, so he's a good one to pick for the early game.

Oh sweet. He's totally overpowed. He can increase our Virtue, which will let us supplicate some of those more difficult saints.

They make decent bows here so I pick one up for Nathan. It won't make a huge difference in most battles, but sometimes you can shoot down an enemy right at the start of the battle. Since fighting an enemy two vs. one gives you a huge advantage, anything you can do to reduce their numbers early on helps greatly.

I go quite a ways to the North past flooded marshes and finally find what I believe our destination is.

We haven't gotten around to buying a rope yet, but our people are only using light armor and weapons so fortunately with a little luck we're all able to climb up. Now we run into this darn dwarf. They're not necessarily bad people but they can be infuriating to deal with.

Here I'm confused because we've obviously run into a bug. Redactor has a mace. Sasha has the sword sword. Either way, it's a good trade. We only have pretty cheap basic weapons right now. When we finish this quest, we'll get paid more than enough to replace them. (Later in the game we would have to guess this a lot of thought if he was asking for something like a high-quality brass handgun.) Now let's just hope we can get back to Bremen without a fight and buy a replacement weapon quick.

We have to run away from some giant spiders but other than that have no trouble. At Bremen we buy Sasha a long sword. It's not quite as good at penetrating armor as her short sword was but does considerably more damage. That should be better because we're avoiding heavily armored enemies so far.

Now we need to get back to Wesel (I think it was?) and deliver the history scroll to complete our quest and get paid. I've been writing this for a long time and I still gotta upload the screenshots, so I'm gonna dash through this without recording every random encounter along the way.

It's November now and the snow has begun to fall.

We run into the infuriating problem that I can't remember who hired me for this quest and it doesn't show you in game. Fortunately some kind soul made an external program to read your saved game file and tell you all the quests you have going on. It's the Fugger in Wesel.

A mere 4 florins isn't that much, but it's a good start for us. Next time we can buy some more equipment and maybe even some skill training. Our people's combat skills are good enough now that with a little bit better armor I think we can try taking on a tougher quest next time: A robber knight!

We picked up 10 Fame points! This is basically your score in the game. It's how much recognition you get from people across the Empire, not just in one town. People take you way more seriously and it's an end unto itself.

When I look at the illuminated manuscript I want to see me staring right back at me.
