- Comment on Publisher reveals and immediately cancels new Postal game after fans accuse it of using AI generation 5 days ago:
Even in that case, they were quick to cut ties and not mention it to the public in the announcement, which doesn’t make them look any better.
I say this as a long time Postal fan girl, I can ever get a slight kick out of 3 as terrible as it is. Either way, RWS doesn’t look good right now. They were either aware of generative AI being used and refused to declare it, or they decided a bit of public backlash was worth tanking a studio over without verification.
- Comment on Publisher reveals and immediately cancels new Postal game after fans accuse it of using AI generation 5 days ago:
This really comes off as a knee-jerk reaction by RWS. I get they’ve been burned in the past by shit like Postal 3, and Postal is about the only thing people know them for, but this should have been handled much better.
Delay things, verify there is no generative AI used, at worst replace assets that are deemed questionable.

Just give the man a budget and leave him be to create. He has his own cult at this point. Yes, it’s going to be weird, and full of pretty women, but that’s what Taro makes, and we’re here for it.

It can choke out native plant life, if left to do its thing. It is an invasive species for non-native areas, and that can even come down to what type of mint is native.
The main issues are that mint doesn’t have a lot of requirements to grow, and is notoriously hard to kill. If it’s in a place it can survive, it can and will thrive left unchecked.
- Comment on be a friend to the animals 4 weeks ago:
Mint doesn’t need to be put in the ground. Just put it in a pot outside, it’ll do the rest, and leave you with some level of plausible deniability.
I know this because my ex got some different types of mint to grow, since we both loved it. She put them in pots on the front porch, about 4 feet off the ground.
That mint found its way to the lawn. We still don’t know where it started from, just that the pot was flourishing, and then so was the yard. The new owner of that house is still finding mint growing in random parts.
- Comment on Konami instantly shot down the Wachowskis’ request to have Hideo Kojima make a Matrix game, it’s claimed [VGC] 1 month ago:
2 is okay, but nowhere near as good as the first. 3 is absolutely forgettable outside of “Neo Does A Superman” for his flight.
Animatrix, an animated anthology released between 1 and 2, holds up pretty well, in my opinion, but isn’t heavily connected to the main movies outside of one particular story. Kinda wish they went more down that route, it was neat seeing other stories in the universe outside of The Second Coming of Neo arc.

You’re assuming that a man who spends all day talking with fish is sane in the first place.
Just go to a fish breeder convention. Find the sanity there.

There is no choice. There is only kill.
I am not kidding when I say they are akin to a Terminator. Their only thought is to eliminate the threat until there is no threat left. Rip and tear, until it is done.

Hell, just giving birth in and of itself is enough to kick off survival instincts of “Scare everything the fuck off before it can even try me right now”. It’s incredibly taxing on the body, both in energy used and physical damage.
Then you’re just kinda thrown into keeping this screaming sack of potatoes that was just violently removed from your body alive quite quickly.
- Comment on Woof is dog for "You may test that assumption at your convenience" 2 months ago:
That’s another terrifying thing about when they’re on the hunt. They have been found in near-death states, still fighting.
So sometimes that “someone” is everyone involved.

Herd dogs were bred to protect the herd. While many may show a more gentle demeanor most days, when the time comes, they are absolute machines.
Funnily enough, I live close to DeKalb. Great Pyrenees are one of the more common herd dogs around here, and are a great example of gentle giants that will crush throats. They adopt just about anything smaller than they are, treat anything they see as their territory, and are known for tracking coyotes for miles just to exterminate them all for fucking with their stock.
It doesn’t end with their herd, either. They can be highly responsive to their owners. You start showing any signs of tension, they will put themselves between you and whatever is bothering you.

I’m fairly certain you’re right, I just can’t remember if it was that exact attempt at fucking with the Sun that started that, or if that was another time.
Because Ra has nothing but burning hatred for Apep, and it was well damned earned. Snake refuses to learn the lesson.
- Comment on oh cool 2 months ago:
Ya know what happened to Apep(the deity)?
He got his fucking ass kicked by Ra. Hell, if I remember right, he also gets his ass kicked by Horus at least once.
Basically, don’t fuck with the sun. It’s got hands. And a beak.
