I’d rather have kids get interested in playing poker than pulling a slot machine lever.

A decent core game with huge amounts of annoying crap wrapped around it.

He used to take some joy in being a jerk. Now he just seems unhappy.

Everbody is collapsing into their lower back and would be way imbalanced in real life. Running would be painful with that posture.

Yeah I just wanted to play the arena combat.

I wanted to buy a $40 deck builder game with cool IP, they wanted to sell me a $70 AAA production with a bunch of external stuff that I found pretty boring.

I ended up not buying.

Do they not realize people are broke?

Sounds fine to me, I never buy top of the line video cards anyway.

I have played other games by Eniko (Ultra Hat Dimension and Super Bernie World), they’re very cute and have good level design.

Definitely going to grab this one.

Yeah it was a play-once kind of game for me.

Civ 6 was good value for $6.

looks up

Also, if you can use it for gaming, you can use it to control a shitload of other assisting technologies.

Soccer stops after goals for people to dance around, mug for photos, put the ball under their shirt and suck their thumb, taunt the opposing supporters, etc.

Soccer stops after fouls for people to roll around and act like they have a compound hip fracture, and for the teammates to surround the ref and scream at him.

I’m not opposed to these things except the ref-crowding.

It’s also a nice coincidence that these happen to be prime situations for a video official to check things.

The offsides hair splitting and angel pinhead dancing done in PL VAR is ridiculous though.

Well, when you implement something in a terrible way, this happens.

In the States, the NFL rolled out possibly the worst video review system ever three decades ago and the cultural memory has persisted to the point where American leagues appear to avoid the worst mistakes.

I was a skeptic; “I can’t see all the pixels unless I’m as close to the screen as the screen is wide, why bother?”

Then I went over to my friend’s place and watched some stuff on his 4K OLED. Holy shit. So I can’t see all the pixels, but turns out that only perceiving 2.5-3x the data is still a big improvement.

I’m still not gonna pay for one until they get a lot cheaper.

Haha yeah NV lets you know shit is real awfully fast.

This whole time I’ve been reading Redfall as Redwall and wondering how I completely missed the furry monastery game.

Looks like a great opportunity for non credibility.

For a coop pve game too! Ridiculous.

BOOOO

Then why would their publisher have a press announcement that it was going to be a live service game?

I don’t think they’ve denied that it will still need an online connection to play, though.

The completion of Lohse’s character arc in Divinity:Original Sin 2.

Deep Mind is actually delivering shit like an estimate of the entire human proteome structure and creating the transcendently greatest go player of all time.

Meanwhile these chucklefucks are using the same electricity demand as Belgium to replicate a math solver that could probably be assigned as half-term project in an undergraduate class and are pissing themselves about threatening humanity.

The Valley has lost its goddamn mind.

You are a genius

I require humarmip in cons cunt

I don’t like ZP but EP is quite good imo.

It can be legal to do medical or biological research that is painful, kills the animal, paralyzes the animal, makes it die of cancer, etc.

You need to get the correct permits and approvals and then it’s legal (I once worked in a lab that among other things killed mice and put their brains in a blender … it was legal, but I didn’t last long in bio after that).

There’s no IRB system, there’s no NIH standards, there are no BSL criteria, that permit dogfighting.

I can be aghast at the Neuralink outcomes without feeling sorry for Mike Vick. And I don’t.

There’s an explicit law against dogfighting though.

Hey wow, the art (the Bloch sphere) is actually relevant to the subject matter of the article.

Yay photo editor!

Representative Boebert has been a commie all along! 🤯

One exception is new product categories. They need to overcome the barriers to entry.

Once any product has an established user base, that’s when it will inevitably become shit.

Ehh, the top folks at Google were all selling their maximum-permitted amount every window they got for a decade and the stock held up.

You typically don’t need to buy shares as an insider, the company just prints more gambling slips – er, I’m sorry, non-transferrable stock options – and hands them out.

I don’t how how ostensibly macho Spanish dudes are cool with the idea of this dude doing something similar to their daughters/sisters/whatever.

But then again, pussy-grabbing has somehow now become a Sacrament to American ------ians, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

everyone is so both pansexual and horny.

Finally I get some representation in a game!

Yup.

I had a false accusation of sexual assault leveled against me in a court filing (as soon as we got in front of a judge it got tossed). It is pretty awful to have something like that stated about you in an official document, even when the outcome is “Dismissed”.

And fwiw, to take the Carroll case in NY, I thought the line of argument “she can’t remember what year it was?” was a pretty reasonable thing to have doubts about.

I never said that OP was “siding with Linus”, I said OP was using a rhetorical style that can be used to dismiss/minimize claims from pretty much anybody, regardless of the situation.

I wanted to call OP’s attention to the fact that that style of argumentation is used in bad faith more often than not.

More than a couple people in my life have been sexually assaulted and if you’ve ever actually been close to somebody who has, the callousness of the “well why didn’t you…” line of nitpicking is glaring.

This reads like every rape apologist asking why the person didn’t react like your idea of an “ideal victim”.

To be clear I’m NOT saying that you would ever help create a permissive environment that passively encourages the type of behaviors described in her post, my question is just why you’d feel compelled to write 750 words of “I’m just asking” around your structural dismissal?

Wouldn’t you realize that you’re parroting a rhetorical style that has been used to justify and paper over mistreatment of women in business and personal settings? If this were a good faith statement why would it repeat every trope trotted out by Joe Tacopina?

I just don’t know, I’m not saying I do or do not think that OP’s statement is an example of unwitting enrollment in institutional sexism, or whether I do or do not think it’s trolling.

I just don’t know.

Bg3 feels basically like dos2

That was all I ever needed to hear. 😄
