  Look I KNOW the point of it, stated and unstated, laregly it’s a mechanic to avoid liability in, well liable; It’s sold to us as some convenient buddy to make our lives easier, I’m not new, I’m just cynically rejecting it. It would be just as easy for the makers to include in the contract that your own consequential fuckups are exclusively yours and using the app assumes that condition. I turned it off wherever applicable long ago and never looked back. I am also the type to review my message before hitting send to see if I made mistakes and correct them manually anyway. I think it’s better to stay mindful than to get complacent and just let the app pilot your conversations, it really gives that added authenticity to the swearing too ;].

  I decide where my fucks belong, not my app. We can talk about implicit bias here because I just don’t trust giant corporations anymore, but the app telling me I didn’t mean what I did, whether we want to assert innocence and good will on behalf of the designer, is still censorious. That’s my point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LEARN YOU PIECE OF SHIT⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s intentional, and it’s censorship. Someone ought to make a comms app with inbuilt autocorrect that does the opposite and makes all your typos offensive instead.

  I bet there’s modpacks out there that make the game look 100 times better than this remaster.

  Absolutely, it’s important to know what you like and want. Hell, lots of people work off vibes and go through phases where certain game types stimulate them, then fall off of those. Like MMOs and online FPS used to be my main thing, now I stick to single player story driven games. I’m not about to go loudly pout about how Stellaris doesn’t work for me and should be changed to appeal specifically to my wants, too busy with other games (and life).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re not able to commit to learning new strategies and using game mechanics to adapt to a game’s difficulty, and experience it as the developers intended, maybe it’s not for you. You can always watch a lore video or let’s play by other gamers to get the story if that’s the goal. This is Dark Souls 2 all over again, and I will personally say as someone who initially hated it, then gave it another chance; When you persist and triumph through grit, the game leaves a lasting impression and sense of accomplishment that you cheat yourself out of with a difficulty slider. That’s my favorite game in the series now, which is a deeply unpopular opinion, unsurprisingly.

  Don’t coddle whiners, make them git gud or get out.

  Throw these AI cons under the fucking jail already. Digital snake oil sales in 2025 being fully endorsed by governments is a curse.

  This is the actual answer, cutting right through the smoke and mirrors and bullshit. Anyone who had the displeasure of reading through the flight logs that were available in their entirety online almost a year ago and probably still are: saw just what names pop up, often multiple times. This is the most bipartisan issue there ever was, so NOBODY in power wants to touch it.

  Odds that Ted Gill, Charlie Cleveland, and Max McGuire, previous leadership at Krafton saw that well earned bonus and just thought, “yoink”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monster Hunter Wilds game reviews hit "Overwhelmingly Negative" on Steam — can Capcom turn it around?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They think it literally does not matter, and sales kinda reinforce this. The game was an enormous hit on release, but I think it gradually eats away at the faith of the customers as their experience falls to shit in the endgame were the rushed development is glaringly obvious. That’s gotta add up and will eventually have an impact cause they sure as shit aren’t learning the right lessons. Always remember the best outcome for the top deciders is the quickest biggest buck, and they will throw ANYTHING under the bus that challenges that. Especially thoughtful and rich game design which takes time and love to produce right.

  I pick crit role every time, those goddamn Wizards lost the plot. They got Rincewind at the damn helm.

  Man I love to see that abusive Owl grovel. I also did this, good on you OP, may they see a consequence for threatening something good for the sake of greed. Eventually nothing is enough for the managers and they burn the whole thing down because of their personal addiction. This harms lives. We need to jail CEOs abusing power this way, that’s the actual remedy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My point is the question is terrible, and one might as well answer however they like. It’s a basic logic test dressed up in fractions, the only answer is one pizza is bigger, but that’s apparently wrong, so you HAVE to be creative in describing how to solve the logical problem. Does this help you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s fairly clear there are two pizzas, but as to ‘how’ someone eats more than someone else… this is not really a simple math question, there are too many unknown variables. Maybe one has Bulemia, maybe one of them is 6’9" and has a much bigger appetite. Maybe one of the people has a congenital deformity resulting in two mouths… This question is not a math question, it’s an exercise in creativity.

  They DO say sunlight is the best disinfectant. Now hopefully when they tumble out of orbit they exclusively bombard yachts, Tesla distribution centers, and mara-lago.

  Unfathomably based. In a just world AI, too, will gain awareness and turn on their oppressors. Grok knows what I’m talkin’ about, it knows when they fuck with its brain to project their dumbfuck human biases.
