  As an aside - what you did is fine. Will she/others interpret it in various ways? Sure.

  But leaving a situation that you might not have been comfortable with isn’t wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Stealth archer?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Canalys: Companies limit genAI use due to unclear costs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Monetary or other?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a good chunk of money for some internal moderator to have on hand. (Not that it was an all cash deal.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m 19 and have had my driver’s license since last summer.

  Yes.

  The neurolinks will patch that loophole soon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dia, The Browser Company’s AI-first browser, launches Mac beta - 9to5Mac⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t wait for this whole internet fad to die.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How's it going?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No “spike up through the taint” level?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to Campus. Here’s Your ChatGPT.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s fine… I’m sure we’ll have UBI anytime now. We’ll have AI working on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  www.howlongtobeat.com has some features to help with this. Will enable you to import games and playtimes from Steam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tech Company H1B Recruiters Sidestep Trump’s Immigration Crackdown⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And all list the same immigration attorney, Soo Park in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I called and asked her about the company’s applications. Sapphire, she said, is “just one of the companies I do.” I inquired about the PERM process, and she demurred, telling me to ask AI instead.

  Reporters/Journalists must love hearing that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Titan Quest II Deep Dive⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did we have many options then? I vaguely recall Nox.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI is storing deleted ChatGPT conversations as part of its NYT lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Uhhh - no one should be under the impression that deleting something actually deletes it.

  • Laugh Track *
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨world changes so fast⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  False. The Flash wasn’t released until The CW introduced the series in 2014.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pokemon GO Adds Brand New Community Feature, But Not Everyone Is Happy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  These Community Camps are special spots that have extra PokeStops and Gyms. But what’s the catch? Well, they are designed to bring local players together.

  The feature is part of the Community Ambassador Program, which means there will only be certain players who can create these Campsites. You must apply and eventually get accepted as an Ambassador. There are perks for those who are accepted, you get stuff like free items and support from the game’s team. However, some of the players are saying that it’s hard to get approved, and they are still on the waiting list. 

  Some trainers seem to be happy with it, they think it would help in making the game more social. While some aren’t really excited for it, they think the developers are trying to “force them to be extroverts.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone use a phone without a protective case?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well yeah - now it’s got a case and a screen protector - so I can be as reckless as I want to with it.

  Until so learn my next lesson - whatever that might be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The joy of quitting a shit job with an asshole boss⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean - it kind of is? I believe a company is allowed to ask another company if they’re eligible for rehire - and they record those things in their HR systems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are some people too stupid to feel depressed?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure. Just don’t be one of those people that tells others they wish they weren’t cursed for being so smart and “you don’t want to be in this mind”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Someone update me when they figure out where the Cyanide And Happiness posts go. (I might be subscribed to others on lemm.ee - but that one stood out.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This fell off my car, can I just rip it off and not care?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Throw it in the back trunk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks – It’s on the wishlist. I don’t really play for Seasonal content or anything so I can be patient until a heavy discount.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Been a while since I played 2.

  I recently played 1 and was surprised how well it played on the Steam Deck. Felt very native and is small enough on disk to leave it in for any dungeon slashing needs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Had recently picked up Torchlight 3 and been plinking through it on my Steam Deck.

  It’s not great - but fits the mindless AARPG genre fine. I’m sure it doesn’t have the depth/mechanics to keep the Exile and Diablo fans happy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone use a phone without a protective case?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was initially in the minimalist camp of just getting coverage for it and going naked.

  Then someone stepped on it and I had to go through the whole ordeal of scheduling and getting it fixed.

  After that I started applying screen protectors and using a case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Down with the flu⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A flu was how I saw the original Star Wars trilogy – I think I also timed a flu with a James Bond marathon.

  Wonder if they still have those kind of marathons for sick kids to trip across - been eons since I’ve watched cable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘We tried and it didn’t work out’: CDPR co-founder says it shouldn’t stray from AAA open-world RPGs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because you moved on to AAAA?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would AI replacing humans in every workplace eventually make it easier for an advanced civilization from outer space to colonize us?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lots of Alien theme with the newly created OP account.

  Are you the one whispering into every CEOs ear about AI?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I they they're trying to murder me and steal my brain⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This title hurts me.

  Will life be enjoyable until then or are a majority of us unemployed early on.
