"it’s such a rare thing for marginalized communities to have representation where we feel proud and powerful in how we are depicted" lmao, like a dude getting a tribal tattoo and feeling brave and tough doing showing it off.

Would have been even worse if the strongest voting bloc in this country wasn't boomers watching their savings get eaten away by politicians, yes. Many other countries with their own currency don't have that in the same way the USA does. Doesn't stop politicians from printing $$$ for short-term...

Isn't BTC defensible as a currency and store of value because unless its cryptography cracks it can't be devalued the same way fiat can? It becoming more or less valuable relative to other currencies has no bearing on that. I'm happy using USD as a currency and store of value because the US...

I probably won't start my new playthrough of ER until after the DLC drops. I had planned to do some kind of lightning build but now I'm tempted to try the light greatsword if I can get an OP build early. Then again ER is so damn long I'd want to try 3+ builds in a playthrough.

This shit is why I'm not excited the upcoming Mandoverse seasons. It's like it was written by someone deep in a fever dream. Compare that with Andor where most everything fits cleanly even upon close inspection.

Embracing diverse sexuality in of itself isn't even the biggest issue. It's a culture of using the product you're building as a platform to preach your particular brand of virtues rather than being focused on improving the product itself. This spreads beyond design decisions of the product and...

Positive feedback gameplay loops are important.

Wow. I'd bet against that being attempted all the to the catch attempt. Destruction or damage of stage 0 could set them back. Maybe they'll "attempt" it with a likely abort like they did so many times with the falcon landing adjacent to the landing craft.

at least play the game before boldly pointing out mistakes in trailer

lol @ 38:47 in my vid when that busted ass flap lowers despite being melted to shit. Watching the Starship get toasted to fuck for 10 minutes really illustrates the challenge. It's not just some momentary brake you need to survive through but 600+ seconds of hades where any failure lets a...

During the initial plasma phase it's remarkable to me that a ship can generate plasma without slowing down. The ship is descending as it exits orbit, so the energy of gravity is equivalent to the friction generating plasma and the air is so thin that even if there is a lot of bright plasma...

AI upscaled 4k vid of stream.

I didn't play any of these games Sweet Baby Inc. - Wikipedia , were any of them "wokefests"? Only game I'd consider is Spiderman2. Any autist groups out there that track development groups that have woke consultants on their games like Sweet Baby Inc? Would be an interesting datapoint but I...

Sven saying, "We are very hard to work with." Is such a powerful and oddly positive statement. It's something that only a few game developer leads can say and be respected because they've shown great judgement.

Interesting! I think I'd need some compelling gameplay to keep me interested in the gameplay loop though. It kind of sounds like Diablo with heavier focus on open-world PvP.

Veilguard is a pretty rough name and the logo being pink is not great. Though the Fade concept in Dragon Age is pretty cool even if the concept of malevolent beings in an alternate reality isn't unique. The Warp in Warhammer is my favorite version of it but it's also common in everything from...

For posterity since I just looked it up, here's the latest full guide from Saicomantis

I'm just an outside observer but this doesn't match my memory. There was a lot of high expectations for them in BG3 even before the early access. Now whether WOTC had high expectations I don't know.

With all the loot pinatas and the anniversary tower, is there really a carrot to keep people playing on Teek? I can't comment on breaking truebox, but I used multiplicity to great effect to 2box on truebox TLP.

GW2 definitely needs a much stronger skip option. There's a bunch of quests I wanted to enjoy but just didn't want to wait through all the dialog for.

Yeah. I've been zerging shit for decades and you're always going to have advantages having an overstuffed roster. Aside from DPS stacking, you can funnel your highest levels into a crew, eschew boxes and replace attrition more easily. Conversely, the loot is distributed more sparsely in OW...

Whenever I have these discussions about current capabilities of LLMs I find it clarifying to try it and post the results. Somehow I can't bring myself to try to get GPT to sext me.

The cut at the moment of ignition was funny. For a brief, split second I thought it blew up catastrophically on the launch pad.

Looks like jmal9000 was banned, oh well. We talked a bit ago about generating standup with GPT. I got access to GPT 4o and gave it a shot of a throwaway joke I heard from Chapelle once. Please write a script for a stand-up comedy bit. The script should express that the comedian is mad at the...

AI is a bubble industry because my hooker line was better than what it came up with. You Please generate a list of 10 claims a company could make about their product using AI that don't make sense. The company's product should not be improved by AI, despite their claims. ChatGPT "Our...

Yeah. There's hookers out there that claim to use AI to find better ways to suck cock. Actually, beyond the crude joke, the lowly-paid "chatters" that support popular OnlyFans girls are almost certainly making use of LLMs to blast out text to simps.

Other than buying bluechip stocks like MSFT and NVDA I'm not sure how one would invest in AI. Will be a ton of AI startups that crash and burn for sure while others get sucked up by megacorps like MSFT. Is anyone here investing in IPOs for AI companies or other smaller companies?

Gotta start with what you have and work your way up. Any victory is better than no victory and Teek will be better off if it has consistent OW contention instead of one guild dominating OW, getting huge and just running splits. Keep the victory laps coming!

I guess I barely noticed. Comic books always draw dudes being ridiculous muscular.

How was Magneto turned into gay man's jerkbait?

I'm thinking about upgrading from my old ass PC from 2019 with a 9th generation i7 and a GTX1080 Ti to something like https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Photonman1/saved/PMvh99 Debating between 4070 Ti, 4070 Ti Super and 4080 Super. Thoughts?

When EoD came out, after seeing my all-time favorite classes in any MMO, the Weaver become less and less effective while still being challenging to play, I chose to switch to the FOTM OP braindead profession, the Mechanist. I then auto-attacked my way to the last quest in EoD, then promptly...

Watched this, enjoyed it. The pace is so fast in these episodes and if you stop to consider anything it all kind of falls apart. I feel like they could've taken their time and had S1 climax at Genosha getting rekt with S2 climaxing at the meteor. Pretty much everything involving Jean Grey and...

I'd like to think that they will design around that and feature appropriate missions for each character with some level of player choice for most missions based on which character they choose (similar to say, the Hitman Series where to get the Silent Assassin ranking you need to leave no trace)...

I just like the krono.

Sell what?
