Back in the late 80s they were pretty legit.

Mostly because the model is incapable of experiencing remorse or any other emotion or thought.

Maybe they will ask their fans if they have phones.

I haven’t noticed anything like this online. I only one time saw a woman post in a MSM community and it was to ask a question, which was fine.

Don’t stick your dick in crazy.

“AI applications introduce novel security risks, such as cross-prompt injection (XPIA), where malicious content embedded in UI elements or documents can override agent instructions, leading to unintended actions like data exfiltration or malware installation.”

Exfiltrating data and installing malware are the tasks it was designed to do, the warning is that it might be done by someone other than Microsoft I guess.

AOW4 being the one exception for me.

They have 93% of the market, they don’t care about people who use Windows.

Mine is the rotator cuff - and I already had arthritis in that shoulder so now I am a human barometer. Fun party trick. I am punished for not doing my dailies but I do different stuff every other day. I suspect I will never regain full mobility in that shoulder - and it’s my dominant arm too. Wear and tear, I guess.

Been in PT for the last 4 months due to my inability to remain 28 forever so I will let you know when I figure it out.

It is so good, I only regret watching it dubbed (though the English dubbing was OK) just because my spouse hates subtitles.

Still such a great show to lead you down so many rabbit holes that require some serious flow charting to keep track of it all. 10/10

Zangief, there’s just something about a guy with full bush on his shins.

I ended up cracking my copy of it (which was pirated anyway) and gave myself a ton of money at the start as well. Fun game for kid me, not really a classic.

I also cracked SimCity and 688 Attack Sub but I had legit copies of those, I just hated keeping track of an extra piece of paper to play them.

I had a spirited discussion with an LG repair guy working on the smart fridge that came with my home. I don’t allow malware on my network so the fridge doesn’t get to do whatever a fridge needs internet access for.

He tried to scare me by saying it would connect to whatever network was available but I live in the sticks and there isn’t even cell coverage here much less another router for it to connect to so unless they are putting a satellite uplink in it that would not happen and I would think he knew that since I had to put him on my guestnet so he could call his support line.

So then he said it wouldn’t work properly unless it was on the network and I told him if it somehow connected I would use an ACL to ensure it couldn’t talk to anything.

Anyway, bought a cheap fridge from CostCo with an extended warranty and they dumpstered that LG POS. Good riddance.

I stopped watching her generally when she put up her poorly thought out, TERF-filled anti-trans video, but the “Capitalism is good, actually” video came up in my feed and I watched it out of curiosity.

It’s so wrong it’s impossible to know where to begin. She invents a history of money that didn’t happen, defines capitalism in a nonsensical way and in the comments admitted she did no research for the video whatsoever and yet still defended her points as if her absolute ignorance on the subject was somehow laudable.

Absolute buffoon. Nobody should watch her videos. She is intellectually dishonest and generates ignorant content to garner clicks.

It was literally outlined as this in Project2025, ban porn then define speech you want to suppress (primarily LGBT but also women’s health) as porn.

I appreciate the discussion, I get out of my depth pretty quickly on the topic being a linguistic hobbyist rather than someone with actual education and background.

It’s an approximation, but the t is partially vocalized giving it a ‘d’ sound even if it’s not made exactly the same way.

This phenomenon is called “T flapping” and it is common in North American English. I got into an argument with my dad who insisted he pronounces the T’s in ‘butter’ when his dialect, like nearly all North Americans pronounces the word as ‘budder’.

If the criticism is limited to “It’s too hard.” then I would agree. But that’s not a valid response to criticisms about specific design elements like “these power ups feel like they do nothing”, even if it’s a perception issue at hand you need to address the actual observation and not jump on with ‘git gud’.

I was learning a game a few months ago and struggling with understanding a specific character, so I went to the official discord and asked for advice, not complaining it was too hard, just asking for what kinds of strategies work and I was met with endless ‘try harder, scrub’ responses and literally no actual advice. I quit playing the game because the community was so up it’s own asshole.

And for sake of clarity. I don’t play HK, it’s not my preferred genre and my favorite game (that I can replay) is Noita so I am familiar with reviews that complain about difficulty. It’s fine for games to be hard and it’s also fine for people who find the games too hard to leave a review saying they found it too hard. That is part of informing buyers so people can only pick it up if they desire that kind of challenge.

It’s just a trend that is all too common in gaming. People like a game or a developer and become incapable of seeing an opinion that they disagree without taking it as a personal slight. It’s weird.
