  Less stealth and more “I’m hopped up on goofballs and nerd rage lets goooooooo”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨no way right⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Arguable for his time under Ares, but the freedom fighter and terrorist line gets blurry when fighting a regime and he’s fought two, Greek and Norse.

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

  Completely ignoring the plot in Fallout 4 as I help yet another settlement

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t logic someone out of something they didn’t logic themselves into, and they definitely got emotionally attached to antivax before they found “statistics” to back shit up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI supremo Sam Altman says he 'doesn't know how' he would have taken care of his baby without the help of ChatGPT⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For thousands of years people have raised their kids without the benefit of the moneypit 9000, Sam Altman is apparently dumber then a caveman.

  Shoulda used the magnets for hall effect sticks rather then clacking joycons on the thing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can now search for Steam games by adjustable difficulty, mouse-only options and other accessibility tags⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Adjustable difficulty is accessibility? Maybe what I’m thinking isn’t what it is. Anyone know if it means stuff like easy/medium/hard or the more granular stuff like “Turn off QTE’s”?

  Either way nice to see Steam making this stuff available and easy for devs.

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

  On Steam I have categories for played, unplayed, playing, and never touching again. Works well, but that backlog is brutal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PFP Evolution⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had something and now I have Dr. Wily in a bikini. People variously don’t notice, don’t care, or are like bro wtf.

  I’m ok with all these reactions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Had a take about Supergiant Games that recieved a lot of pushback fromy two longest running best friends.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hades did straight numbers, not a shocker they’d go for another. Couldn’t see Transistor or Bastion getting sequels, (Or Pyre but… lol Pyre.) and more importantly, I’d rather they tell new stories.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One has to imagine a future where one of sevetal things happen. Two possibilities come to mind.

  1. The government somehow bans beef, chicken, turkey, etc. This, I can’t stress this enough, will not happen. The backlash would be massive and leaders would be out on their ass swiftly and the decree reversed.
  2. Climate change and animal flus render meat so expensive that it escapes affordability for the average man More catastrophic, but also more likely. IMO average folks go largely vegan at that point, meat becomes a special occasion thing for them.

  Was never keen on Phantom Hourglass or Spirit Tracks because of the control schemes… loved Okami’s brush though, go fig.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s Grok AI Has a Problem: It’s Too Accurate for Conservatives⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not impossible, but it is a far more difficult thing then they want to deal with to have an AI that consistently toes the conservative line, especially when that line can change wildly even in the span of a conversation. Egg prices are too high under Biden but we can’t expect a president to magic them down under Trump. We should be able to have vouchers for religious schools but wait why are the muslims allowed to go to their madrasas? Of course I’d never work in a factory or buy overpriced American products but we should bring back production to the United States. The list goes on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have 170 games in my backlog and the summer sale is coming. I ain’t spending 80 bucks on one video game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Stacy’s mom had it going on in the early 2000’s IIRC so not like the DILF and MILF thing hasn’t existed for a while. Though obviously it wasn’t a school promoting that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Generative AI is reshaping South Korea’s webcomics industry⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Korean shounen stuff can be solid, like Solo levelling, The Breaker, God of High School, or Omniscient Reader, but outside of that it gets a bit more iffy.

  IMO the real trash market is China. Everything I’ve read from there just feels forgettable and soulless.

  Jack Dorsey, who owns dozens of patents, conveniently does not opt to lead the charge by cancelling them all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The US Secretary of Education referred to AI as ‘A1,’ like the steak sauce⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Considering Vince McMahon didn’t know what a burrito was, I’m not particularly surprised.

  Madigan told PWTorch editor Wade Keller: "It’s one of these stories that always repeats itself. I think the idea was they were trying to work an angle with Big Show and - like Andre (the Giant), here’s a guy who is so physically big and physically imposing - what can you do to get over on Big Show? And how are you going to do it?

  "I think they were going to poison Big Show and give him a spiked burrito. The whole concept was: ‘We’re going to spike his food, spike the burrito, you cut to a vignette before that showing him eating it, and then he passes out in the ring.’ So, Vince goes, ‘Burrito?! Who the hell knows what a burrito is?’ It was such a far concept. And everyone in the room goes, ‘Well, we know what a burrito is.’ And Vince goes, ‘Well, where the hell have I been?’

  “But, the funny thing is, Wade, every day at noon, Vince’s secretary would walk into the office - the writing room - with a burrito. It was a steak-wrap cut in half. And he would put ketchup on it. Every day, he was eating a burrito and not knowing what it was. But, that’s the idea - when you’re in a bubble and in a business where you’re ostracized from society, it’s you and them, that’s it. Everyone else is an outsider, so things like that do make sense in the confines of the wrestling world.”

  If I never actually owned a Ubisoft game that logically pirating them isn’t theft right? Right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One-handed games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think a fair amount of survivor games like Vampire Survivors and 20 minutes til dawn are intended for just one hand. Then there’s every turn based strat game like Civilization and stellaris, along with every turn based RPG out thete

  The setting says “If you opt out you might still see Quest promotions, but they won’t be personalized to your activity”. I’m on Nitro Basic (The 3 dollar a month plan.) and I don’t see any method for disabling them completely.
