Imagine going there based on a rumor and all you find are some dumb seeds you can use to restart agriculture.

They never show the full version of this gif, where you can see the elevated section of road the driver is aiming for. Have people seriously never seen a highway overpass? Do you guys just assume that every highway uses offramps instead of jumps?

Apnews hijacks your browser and their response was just “thanks for your feedback, we’re experimenting with ways to make money”
They hired a person to do this and since every single news site has the same presentation I assume this is the default strategy.
- Comment on I will be taking no followup questions. Thank you for your time 1 week ago:
This is kinda funny. It’s like “Jesus was a white guy” mixed with “cis whites need to check their privilege”
The idea that you could go back in time as a nutritionally giant white guy speaking gibberish and fit in because white is a bit anti history.
If we’re sending people back in time it’s going to be Dwayne Johnson.
- Comment on Why does the GOP think “ANTIFA” is bad? 1 week ago:
Because maga are human and they have similar capabilities to us.
For example, I know you know that they are often draped in Christianity, patriotism, etc. Does that mean we’re all anti-christian and anti-american?
They learn to associate us with certain labels. And then they learn new labels in the context of labels they’ve internalized. Antifa means a bunch of things that mean a bunch of things that mean a bunch of things.

- Comment on Fortnite devs Epic modifying Peacemaker emote after establishing Warner didn't mean it to look like a Nazi swastika 2 weeks ago:
“There was an emote. But then the show had a plot twist. So now the emote kinda looks like a swastika. We’ve removed it after making sure it wasn’t on purpose.”
They’re on drugs
- Comment on Former BioWare lead writer reads the runes on EA-Saudi deal and speculates that 'guns and football' are in, 'gay stuff' is out, and the venerable RPG studio may be for the chop 2 weeks ago:
It’s EA. They could make gay stuff in games without them. But instead they make a deal with the devil and hope they come out on top? They want all the resources of a soulless giant but then they think they’re somehow escaping the taint?
It’s like musicians making deals that (unfairly, almost amorally) guarantee their songs play across the country… but then they think they’re still a normal artist.
- Comment on EA CEO says company values will 'remain unchanged' under the new ownership of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's investment firm 2 weeks ago:
Before they bought EA: EA is literally the devil.
After they bought EA: Great, there goes our EA!
- Comment on Relooted - Game made by South Africans has been bombarded by right-wingers 3 weeks ago:
My single 996 MEGAhertz processor, 512mb ram, 128mb vram setup could just about run Battlefield 2, Counter Strike Source, and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. These games often had higher minimum requirements but I managed.
Balatro, a modern card game, starts off with minimum requirements of two 3 GIGAhertz cores and a gigabyte of ram.
Comparing AAA Valve with an indie dev isn’t fair but it’s objectively true that relatively simple concepts now require substantially more resources. That’s like 6 Battlefield 1942 instances to 1 Balatro instance.

John Carmack: We couldn’t figure out how to perfect virtual texture streaming. I’d walk backwards and turn and the world would reload textures. It was just a problem with the implementation.
Randy: The technique is fine you just need to play differently.

- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
A half baked idea I want to see implemented is using local LLMs to generate the most vile / ragebait / unhealthy responses to trending topics and then use that like an inoculation.
ie in natural settings humans are better at detecting dead ends / performative rhetoric / etc. But online it’s different.
I think it’s a bad idea but I can’t stop wondering considering LLM bots, dead internet theory… I’d like to have a taste of what others might be cooking.

- Comment on We are helping 5 weeks ago:
We need to map out the bunkers / assets of our elites. To better play chicken with them. Let’s all live like they do and if their example destroys the world, we make sure to clean up our mess on our way out… for the people who come after us.

- Comment on Time to bash Americans again 5 weeks ago:
Imagine being racist and wanting to enjoy it instead of making it political. In the US it’s culture war shit. In Europe you can go to a football match and throw bananas at the black players and it’s chill. It’s just easier to be casually racist in Europe because racism doesn’t exist there, and if it does, it’s not as bad as America.

- Comment on The duality of man 1 month ago:
In the context of aggressive foreign policy where we bomb the shit out of people… They are probably referring to how in the 1910s USA was stumbling through an incursion into Mexico to fight rebels / raiders. As we joined WW1, some saw us as a rowdy militia, like cowboys. We had to borrow materiel because we weren’t yet a proper war-machine like European countries were. Exactly 100 years ago that wasn’t the case though. Yet there would still be quite a ways to go until the era of “top 3 air forces” and super carriers patrolling the globe while drones blow ‘terrorists’ to smithereens.
- Comment on Train your brain 1 month ago:
They spent a lot of money and political capital to train their AI just for it to get leaked back to the masses.
If only every AI company scraping the internet would have their model be given back to the people. It’s the minimum they could do.

How much do you know about transformers?
Have you ever programmed an interpreter for interactive fiction / MUDs? It’s a great example of the power that even super tiny models can accomplish.
Also consider that Firefox or Electron apps require more RAM and CPU and waste more energy than small language models. A Gemma slm can translate things into English using less energy than it requires to open a modern browser.
- Comment on Today’s game consoles are historically overpriced 1 month ago:
But even before recent tariffs, modern console prices weren’t dropping nearly as fast as history suggested they should. In fact, Sony first raised the nominal starting price of the PS5 Digital Edition back in 2023, way before Trump’s current trade war was even on the horizon.
I’m not saying Trump is to blame but this is misleading. Trump hurt our economy with tariffs during his first term nearly 10 years ago. During 2023 he was releasing “Agenda 47” policies, in which he specifically mentioned more tariffs. Here’s Trump threatening tariffs 8 months before Sony raised the price

There’s two types of gamers.
People who like sandboxes with the understanding that there are some toys / structures to play with.
People who just like playing in sand and don’t care if a sandbox is literally just a box of sand.
- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 1 month ago:
He made adult music knowing it would be listened to by children. At some point in his career he must have realized he was talking directly to children while in the studio.
I’m sure he cares about kids and isn’t just a stupid asshole saying a line because something pulled his string.
You got a stick in your ass, Snoop!

Are you guys talking about Battlefield? A AAA fps with 128 players? With absolute bangers like 1942, Vietnam, 2142, 2, 4, and 1?
No idea why people like it. Dead franchise imo
