“Fitter, healthier and more productive

On antibiotics”

Yeah both of these games are amazing, some occasional rough edges but overall just a great experience

Same argument Sony gave when EverQuest 2 launched with stupid high required specs. World of Warcraft launched a month later you could run on any video card from the last 5 years and the whole franchise still hasn’t recovered.

I’ve been partial to calling it lying or deceptively engaging in bad faith to prevent people from being able to make well informed choices taking away their agency and ability to accomplish personal and community goals unimpeded.

Dear Esther and Kentucky route zero for the music and atmosphere, elden ring for the atmosphere and challenge. Something with an engaging story planescape torment & torment tides of numenera.

I suspect there was also a demographic and normative shift when a bunch of people left when they dropped 3rd party apps and sided with advertisers over moderators. I think the average age dropped along with the shift and the next September after 3rd party apps were dropped in the summer.

There were similar changes after the large increase in users from the digg migration; subreddits split, norms around what gets votes and moderated changed for a broader audience on the larger subreddits, more general topic and current pop events instead of more science and tech, more memes and videos instead of article and plain text, etc.

I did the same replaced a Roku device with a shield when Roku started doing startup ads. Seems to work fine then won’t respond to remote and needs a reboot, some weird stuff with the VPN too. Should have probably just got a mini form PC instead.

Return to monkey island was pretty fun if you enjoy the originals or telltale versions. The movement and gunplay in d2 was a lot of fun, too bad they screwed up so bad with the expansions and monetization.

It’s still pretty early but if I had to pick one Harry Kim, just seems like he’s trying to help people around him like Torres and Paris, a little gossiping with Tuvok about the fighting.

He did support gun violence, wasn’t his whole motif the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun, and armed guards in schools to prevent mass shootings? That’s clearly advocating for gun violence to avoid the obvious solution of better gun control regulations. He was willing to accept violent gun deaths in support of his 2a position.

If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.” - Karl Popper

Just started star trek voyager, 3 episodes in. So far I’ve watched most of the original series, next generation, ds9, and a little discovery and Picard and most of the movies. Overall really enjoying it, I’ll probably watch the whole series. Intro music isn’t as good as tos, tng, or ds9 but that’s a pretty high bar.

Get wrecked white supremacist fascist, advocate for gun violence and against empathy means you shouldn’t be surprised when someone takes you up on that bet.

“I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” - G M Gilbert

If I have to pick a moment it was when cable went from subscription to sub+ads, it’s the same greedy tactics streamings are burying themselves with currently. Zaslav is also an idiot who ruined several cable channels and HBO streaming.

I thought it was really well done, but there were a few parts that feel kinda gross for the deception/voyeurism of it. It’s also a big gamble the subject doesn’t get upset after the reveal and ask not to include their face or voice in the show.

What kind of bullshit joke of an organization puts a EULA on a news site?

We need to pay scientists to do peer review and reproduction studies, it’s negligent for any organization to fund novel research only and not also contribute to error correction and resilience when LLMs are now available. If you can’t pay for it at least release the data for reproducing the analysis. To do neither should be seen as incomplete and suspicious.
