I’m not certain if you missed it but that was their joke as well

How dare you shit talk Pangea like that

Sort of, I’d argue it’s better accomplished. I don’t hate venom, he’s basically the same character. In mgs2 people signed up for more solid snake, which was even blatantly communicated as what you were getting in the demo of the game and all marketing materials. It’s a question of expectation. Even aside from the character, the tanker chapter is leagues in quality above the rest of the game.

It’s not the I hate mgs2, I think it’s actually really neat and interesting, but when you’re doing a rug pull off that nature it’s easy for people to be disappointed.

Cool. We did this in Australia, 75% of kids circumvented it. It’s a waste of time.

Unless you’re doing it for the facial data, which you probably are.

Well that’s because you haven’t plugged it in

That makes a lot of sense in retrospect. It must be a shame reaching a level of success where you’re cut off from the things that got you there.

Idk man I’ve seen people complain about having to think up prompts. There’s no limit.

This probably has been said but I want to chip in regardless.

People like this do not usually have a concrete goal, rather they are the ones who are acting in a shitty way just enough so the system rewards it, not enough to punish it. They have a fuzzy compulsion to seek more at any cost, when the current existence becomes slightly mundane they go for the next taboo thrill, the next bribe. They don’t have a stable existence and must consume forever, like a cancer.

Before we had the recent shift towards purposeful retraining of our own behaviours in popular culture, a lot of our parents were just working exclusively with what they were given, it’s how they were trained to behave.

It’s tragic really. My own dad was mildly absent because his dad left when he was maybe 3. My mum beat my sister and I because that’s what her parents did to her.

It doesn’t make it better, it doesn’t excuse it. For my part, it makes me realise how this stuff happens, and why it’s so important to examine your learned behaviours, and try your very hardest not to be those awful things that were forced on you.

Sleep is my favourite function to complain about, it breaks shit at random on windows and Linux, nobody seems to know why or how. The fact that sleep works as well as it does on consoles and steam deck is a miracle to me.

It’s a tricky thing, because shareholder value is entirely vibes based. Microsoft is demonstrably losing market share, approval from users, and functionality of the OS. While it’s understandable to want to chase new trends, long term OS stability and compatibility for the average user was their golden goose, and they’re killing it. We’re seeing people move away from windows, which 5 years ago would have been an impossibility.

It’s slow to act, but the more market share something like Linux gets, the more it tends to snowball in terms of public opinion. That definitely has the possibility of eating a significant chunk of MS revenue.

This and the porn thing have been massively invasive in terms of privacy. It’s so transparently just building a database of facial data. It doesn’t even make an attempt to comprehensively block everything on the internet, or realistically enforce compliance.

Not a dog but he sure acts like one

That’s a good dog

Can I get a goth gf that fixes my mental health? I know I’m asking for an exception here, but it’s been a really shit year and I could use a win.

Bro I already have ADHD just let me do it instead

Just hit sand with enough lightning you’ll eventually get something

Personally I’m on team black mold

But yeah I’ve had same thoughts. Seems like such a weird hill to die on even when you do have those beliefs.

Like the same job to multiple printers? I mean technically probably possible, but why?
