Considering it fed on millions of coders’ messages on the internet, it’s no surprise it “realized” its own stupidity
- Comment on Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point 3 days ago:
We let environmentalism become an individual issue, and that was a mistake.
Everyone knows it’s not an individual issue, corporations are constantly buying up political shielding and support, as well as media opinions, to ensure that “the economy” remains more important than the environment and that they, the ones responsible for all the shit, don’t get regulated or properly fined and blamed.

Make a bunch of sites whose opinion on any topic eventually devolves into “and that’s why billionaires should be hanged and their possessions destroyed”

'muricans are already getting their Brazilian coffee tariffed, which should make lower quality distractions work better

No, I didn’t make it up. Although I rather wish I did, because it’s quite catchy, isn’t it?
No, it isn’t, it’s fucking stupid. The author was kind enough to link the source of that shitty idea, and the AI/vegan parallels are, per said article: ethical, environmental and wellness concerns.
Gee wiz, I sure never saw people with those 3 concerns in regards to anything other than veganism!!!

Where’s that comic about “suddenly, you become your fursona” and the dude quits his job to start his onlyfans? That’s extremely relevant here

- Comment on How can i casual gamer enter a game online competition? 5 days ago:
The game to get better at is the game you enjoy most, and what sites depends on the game.
This is spot on, though keep in mind that, depending on the game, you might play it so much you’ll grow to hate it. You’ll also find yourself looking at videos and guides on how to get better, effectively upping you from a casual
Small time or local competitions/tournaments are likely to only have one mr. motherfucker that will utterly destroy you. They tend to show up a lot more in fighting games, though some strategy games, like Starcraft 1/2, also have a significant number of them. If you want to avoid feeling humiliated, racing games (Gran Turismo, Forza, Project CARS) are the ones you’ll want to go for. Sports games (football, 'murican football, basketball) also have really damn good players, though it’s unlikely you’ll get humiliating losses in them after a bit of training.
As someone else mentioned, speedrunning is also an option, though it’s a lot less about direct confrontation and more about grinding the same game over and over. It’s also the easiest one to “get into”, especially if you aim at less known games. Events like AGDQ can hold head-to-head competition of 2 or more runners in the spot.
Keep in mind that some games need teamwork as much as individual skill - Marvel Rivals, Overwatch 2, League of Legends, etc.

- Comment on What anime pleasantly surprised you the most? 6 days ago:
Taxi Driver. Pretty low stakes as far as anime goes, several mundane stories intertwined over a murder mystery that’s being hushed, but they are shown in a very compelling manner.
- Comment on UK pornography taskforce to propose banning ‘barely legal’ content after Channel 4 documentary airs 1 week ago:
The programme followed the performer for six months and included her claim to have had sex with 1,057 clients over the course of 12 hours.
Holy shit, not even hentai can reach such high numbers. Even as a gangbang queen, that’s a lot of dick to satisfy
She found it in pursuing “barely legal” sex – traditionally one of the most searched-for terms in porn – with the twist that instead of men searching for videos of other men having sex with teenage (or teenage-looking, depending on how many internet layers you’re prepared to sift through for your purposes) girls, Billinger offered herself to young men. – She had sex with them for free on condition that they gave permission for her to upload the footage to her OnlyFans account
That’s about the smartest economical move she could’ve made

ShinjiFei - Comment on What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks? 1 week ago:
Gonna list 2 that deserve the “great soundtrack” tag on steam:
- Assault Android Cactus - twin stick shooter/bullet hell with cute android girls blasting robots. Techno stuff, with my 2 favorite tracks being Liquorice (it’s divided in 3 “acts” as it’s a boss music) and Assault
- Cloudbuilt - 3D platformer with focus on speed. I suck at this game, but the tracks are amazing, with my fave being Aurora
Someone else mentioned Unreal 1, but I gotta say, Unreal Tournament 2004 has some absolute bangers, like Morpheus3, Hyperblast Redux, Level11 and Convoy

Is it anything like Action Doom?
- Comment on A 2003 complaint about Half Life 2 1 week ago:
My uneducated guess is that those are from custom stuff found on the servers you visit. Quake 3 and similars (Jedi Outcast/Academy, Unreal Tournament 99/2004) would download any custom maps, player models and skins if the server you were connecting to had any.
- Comment on A 2003 complaint about Half Life 2 1 week ago:
I wish games would release with low/medium, up to 1024x1024 textures and stuff by default and let people choose to download/install higher res stuff. If I’m not going to use the 4k pack, I don’t need it sitting on my hard drive
- Comment on A 2003 complaint about Half Life 2 1 week ago:
You probably played Counter Strike 1.5 or 1.6, or both at different times, these are the ones that were made off the original Half Life

I don’t personally remember any game retailing with 5 CDs, 4 was the limit, anything over that and they’d just go for a DVD instead

Congrats on finding your Civ2 disc! Do you have a drive to see if it still works?

Its pretty neat now while its still new and shiny
The current crop of VR tech dates back to 2012, not exactly what I’d consider new and shiny
