The only way he could ruin porn sites was if the site’s content were replaced with only videos of Elon gyrating his hips to Eye of the Tiger, while wearing one of those Borat bathing suits, never breaking eye contact with the camera.

- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 1 week ago:
And someone who’s part of a cult, or a significant other who is abused, will try to recruit people to their cause or downplay the violence or dig in deeper with their abusers.
Don’t get me wrong, those who perpetuate the hate on the conservative side are rat bastards who have no place in society. However, those on the consumption end have been programmed to think this way. Deprogramming takes a lot of time and requires the cult member to want to learn more and get out. However, forcefully removing a cult member will usually just push them back to the cult harder.
Either these Republican rubes die or start investing other sources of info, we have a long fight ahead of us, and that’s only if we can cut off the head of the snake and stop the cult at the top.

- Comment on What are the best indie games you've ever played? 1 month ago:
Interestingly enough, I did the same thing. When it launched, I was big into piracy and had a shitty job to pay for games with. Played until I could fly the ship, flew into the sky, then promptly control of my ship and didn’t touch it again for at least half a decade. So glad I bought it and played it without spoilers!

- Comment on Star Citizen's first-person shooting is getting backpack-reloading, dynamic crosshairs, procedural recoil, and other improvements to 'bring the FPS combat to AAA standard' 2 months ago:
But that’s never how these things go. They put so many resources into FPS aspects that they almost entirely abandon the space sim. Just look at E:D for an example. They dedicated a whole DLC to walking around your ships and then threw ground assault missions into it.
The immersion from being a part of the world, walking around and experiencing stuff is neat and immersive. If the focus was on that stuff first and FPS second, cool, but that feels rarely the case.
Thanks for the comment!

That’s a cool aspect of it, no doubt, I just wish it took a backseat to the core game play. We have so many FPS games, but not many great new-gen space sims.

You’re right, getting out and moving around and hoping into the pilots seat of your ship is cool and I love to see that stuff. However, I don’t know why it always has to tip toward violent encounters instead of just having the ability to feel immersed in a space ship or station.

I admit, I was a backer of the original campaign for Star Citizen. However, with the dev cycle what it is, I think I’ll be a grandparent before the game releases from early access. Last time I played it, it was a buggy mess, with only combat, and was not fun to me. I also admit, a lot of my angst comes from the way Elite: Dangerous tried to make FPS combat, etc., a thing. As someone who plays that game to explore, that entire DLC, as well as the alien shit they added, was part of system I had no interest in and, in my opinion, has further led to the downfall of E:D, a game that has been waiting for atmospheric landing, etc., but still, years later, barely has non-atmospheric landing.
I get the desire to walk about your ship, have carrier ships you can walk around with other players, and space stations you can visit actual NPCs in. However, if I wanted to shoot stuff, I’d play an FPS. I play E:D to explore and get that fear/anxiety/dread I only ever feel watching American politics. Just not my game play when I wanna just chill and narrowly avoid crashing my ship while exploring!

Worse than all that, it’s a fucking space sim. Why are all these space sims wanting to add FPS?

At this point, AI seems like a silly gimmick to these companies. We’re a stones throw away from the scene in South Park with Funnybot 5000 and the movie execs drilling it for hours for movie ideas.

So wait, doesn’t the naming for their builds based on the year and whether the first half, or second half, of the year? How would they have a 24H2 if we’re only in February of 2024?

Samesies. Didn’t give two shits when they bundled Amazon prime with video and such. Easy decision of my digital existence was dropping prime soon as they announced the ads and tiered payments.

Honestly, I have the same complaint about remote viewing companies like ScreenConnect and TeamViewer. I really like SC and use it within my organization. However, to get more than 3-devices, with sound, and screen blackout, it’s way more. Same with monitoring software like Pulseway.
I just want to help my tech-illiterate family with their computer problems, and make sure their machines are up to date and working well!
