The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Arming yourself is a far cry from actively doing violence. Go buy a gun, take classes, get hours in at the range to practice your aim. Be ready when the time comes. Don’t make the time come.

I think it’s silly to assume that this can’t and won’t be abused by Democrats as well, given time. The worst thing we could do in this situation is make it partisan.

No president should have this power.

It makes us all look stupid and hateful.

I’d argue that it does a lot more than make people just look hateful. Plenty of assholes out there using progressive causes as justification and shielding for their poor behavior.

The dev could have avoided this easily by merging the original PR and moving on with their life, but there is negative reason for the dogpiling that occurred. It’s open fucking source. Fork it and make your own inclusive competitor.

The behavior of the community around this is reprehensible, and is the perfect ammunition for opportunists looking to draw people into right wing radicalism. “Look at what they did to someone for using he instead of they! Imagine what will happen if we let these people have any real power?”

Primarily being developed by someone who was most likely a sexist, three years ago, and who is now being dogpiled by people who probably weren’t ever going to use his software anyway.

If anyone really cared about this, they should just fork the code and start their own inclusive version. Literally steal the asshat’s project out from under him. Instead, everyone is coming out of the woodwork to try and score asinine dunks on the dev’s shitty opinion.

What? The only thing with any definitiveness in what you linked is that 72% of teachers are using an outdated method for teaching early level reading skills (letter and word recognition).

As a secondary point, it says that teachers feel their kids can’t read anymore so the teachers have taken to tiktok about it.

There’s nothing there indicating high levels of illiteracy, or that they’ve been caused by an over use of devices as babysitters, dawg.

I think you need to brush up on your literacy.

It sure as hell isn’t a good thing, and it isn’t helping kids read or develop, but this is the same argument that’s as old as fucking time itself where older adults blame new technology for degeneration of the youth. People literally made the same complaint about radio dramas leading the youth astray.

The core of the issue is that it has become increasingly easy for parents to use technology to avoid properly taking care of their damn kids.

I would love a true post-post apocalypse 3D Fallout. Like set in Shady Sands in it’s heyday.

Relatively normal modern day problems in the city, wasteland problems outside. Feel like there’s some space to explore some new things there, but Todd seems to be intent on keeping the Fallout setting in “post and a half-pocalypse”.

Least it’s not “nuke it all again” Avellone.

Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 (and their console remasters, DX and Battle).

Mods fix them up and make them better than emulation though.

Silent Hill 2 is a special case. They lost the source code and original asset library for the game, so it’s a remake using assets ripped from the PS2 release copy.

A very, very poorly done and buggy remake that was also underfunded and rushed out the door.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Dying Light, and Hades. $10 a piece on Steam.

I put a ton of hours into Bloodstained RotN when it was on gamepass, but never beat it. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is a game I end up replaying every few years, so I really enjoyed its spiritual succesor back then (around when it first released), and they’ve only added more content (three new playable characters, a few game modes) to it over time.

For Dying Light, I love the Dead Rising series, but the moment to moment moving around is nothing to write home about. Dying Light has a focus on movement, and got a lot of good reviews, so I figured I’d give it a try.

For Hades, I’ve always loved Supergiant Games since their first game, Bastion, and I never picked up Hades because it was never priced low enough when I had money to burn. Now that Hades 2 is in early access, I watched some gameplay of that and the first shot up on my list to buy. I’ve been craving an isometric real time combat game too.

More an issue to have another existing company as part of your product’s name. Slam dunk legal case for Sega right there.

There is one benefit, at least for now. You aren’t locked into long term contracts like cable has/had.

I love eldricth horror precisely because of this. Imagination will almost always be scarier than something that can be put into words. Descriptions give handles to hold onto for your understanding, boundaries and walls for the horror to fit in.

Give me more vagueness about how, gazing at it, the room could not have possibly contained its size. The feeling of the split second while tripping before you connect with the ground, stretched into an interminable constant in the back of your mind.

Realistically, however long it took for someone else to notice you were doing it and call them.

Source: had the cops called on my friends and I multiple times for having foam sword fights in parking lots at college. Apparently people from a distance thought actual fighting was going on. Not sure if that’s a testament to our acting or their poor eye sight.

For anyone missing the show, there was a wonderful project called Streamlined Mythbusters where fans edited each episode down to remove the filler, pre and post ad recaps, etc. They usually also would reorder things so each individual myth was seld contained.

It’s wonderful, but some episodes legitimately got cut down to be 16 minutes long with no real content loss, which can be kind of jarring.

Looks like it’s just a partnership with an existing brand, Popcorn Indiana, zooming into the picture. So just a cheap marketing stunt for them.

Giving me flashbacks to the game Space Station 13. It was never “the clowns”, just “The Clown”. And it absolutely was a threat.

More often than not, the person who picked the singular clown role on the station (or who mugged the person who did and stole the costume), would be someone who was highly skilled with the game who wanted to get up to shenanigans.

I’ve watched a clown armed with nothing but two banana peels single handedly take out an entire security force, steal their gear, disappear while the station gets wrecked by a changeling, then pop back out and lure the changeling into a carefully built conveyor belt system that traps them in an inescapable loop of being knocked over forever, trapped, forced to listen to infinite bicycle horns and a farting robot made out of their own cut off butt.

The clown then used the opportunity to set the station’s black hole engine loose, destroyed the end of the hall to the escape shuttle, and lubed the floor. The survivors, rushing to escape, slip, and glide out into the void. More bicycle horn honks are the last sound they hear.

Honka honka honka honka honka honka…

Ah yes, the classic “you can only be upset about one thing at a time”!

If you’re upset I pissed on the floor instead of in the toilet while Biden is complicit with genocide you’re part of the problem!

Sorry boss, I can’t care about my job because of Palestine!

How dare you pull me over for going 80mph in a school zone, pig! Don’t you know what Israel is doing?

How could you possibly expect me to care about something so insignifIcant as wiping? Don’t you know that children are dying?

I think this is a misunderstanding of how most of the AI that feed into workflows work. Most of them don’t dynamically re-train live based off how users are using them. At least not outside of the context of that user/chat instance.

Most likely what these and others are doing is to download pre-trained open source AI datasets thrn and run them locally so they aren’t restrained by any of the commercial AI’s limitations on what they will and won’t output to users. I highly doubt there’s enough material out there to truly train a new AI model on only explicitly racist material. This is just a bunch of assholes doing prompt engineering on open source models running locally.

You can also toggle it on precompiled binaries with the right tool (or a hex editor if you’re insane), which was my main use case. Lots of old games that never got 64-bit releases that benefit from having access to the extra RAM, especially if you’re modding them. It’s a great way to avoid out of memory crashes.
