- Comment on AI generated image of average Reddit meet up 23 hours ago:
There are a few bits of text on the background shirts that are unreadable. Also the cans and Funko pop box on the table. A few of the background posters on the wall also make no visual sense either.
It is AI, but it’s pretty damn convincing. If someone were to come around and say “actually, this is a performance art piece making a statement about the inauthenticity of online community, where they handmade fake AI melty graphics in the real world for a photo,” I could also be convinced of that.

I think this reply may be attached to the wrong comment in the chain for context, but I think the meaning is a bit different (just slightly).
Clavicular was mid jestergooning
Clavicular was in the middle of making a fool of himself for attention
when a group of Foids came
when a group of women (“foids”, female humanoids, dehumanizing) came
and spiked his Cortisol levels
and riled him up.
Is Ignoring the Foids while munting
Is ignoring the women while getting blitzed/shitfaced (may not be an accurate interpretation of "munting, but it appears to either be a shock value thing involving necrophilia or just getting high on drugs, so I interpreted it as the latter based on context)
and mogging moids
and styling on the other guys (“moids”, male humanoids, dehumanizing)
more useful then SMV chadfishing in the club?
more useful than increasing his sexual market value by being fake as hell in the club?

Thank you for sharing the video. I ended up watching the whole thing and found myself of a similar mind as the presenters: he makes a lot of points that sound downright reasonable. I expected some vapid jock-type like you typically see on reality TV, but he’s able to articulate a lot of problems about our current society in ways that I can’t really refute. It’s just his solutions to those issues that are wrong.
And I think that’s what makes his position as an influencer so dangerous. He’s speaking to the genuine lack of class mobility that Millennials through Gen Alpha have had to accept as reality, and “proving” his point through his own life. Sure he might die by the age of 40 with how unhealthy his lifestyle is. But I think a lot of people in the younger generations would likewise rather party it up to unhealthy degrees while young than work a menial dead-end job for 50 years, hoping you get a couple years of retirement in your old age before you die.

Basically. There’s a mostly linear plot with some diverging narrative choices that affect outcomes. There’s some sort of mystery element, you explore the world to get information/clues/resources, and most of the games have some sort of superpower gimmick that you use to explore the world and story (e.g. rewinding time, telekinesis, aura reading).
The games are like an old point and click adventure, but without the pointing and clicking. Or the adventure. If that makes sense.

The American flag is already perfect symbolism. Rotate it 90° and you’re looking at a view of the night sky through the bars of a jail cell.

The same reason half of Europe has closed shops on Sunday, worker protection.
That sounds more like countries enforcing a religious preference (day of rest on Sunday for church) than worker protection. I suppose it could be branded as secular, but so can France’s ban on wearing hijabs in the name of laïcité.

- Comment on Moss, One of VR's Best Series, Is Being Un-VR'd and Brought to PC and Consoles 2 weeks ago:
I’m still a bit skeptical, if only because the Steam Frame still won’t solve the issues a lot of people have about limited space to use VR, the associated cost, and just VR’s overall utility.
The current economy sucks, a lot of folks can’t afford more than one or two dedicated gaming devices, and VR is a hard sell when PC and handheld gaming will always get preference. It’s not dead and it won’t be going anywhere, but I don’t see it evolving out of “niche” status anytime soon.

Supposedly it’s to make it so that no one wants to steal it, which I guess is a problem in some parts of the world where even shitty toilet paper is coveted.

It’s not a game key card release, the box would specify it on the front if it was. Nintendo (so far) has been releasing all of their games fully on cartridge (insomuch as any physical game comes “complete” these days, before patches and post-launch content)

I think you’re reading too much into it. It’s just a meme about how people can be tricked into thinking that enriching others who keep them poverty is “winning”.

Stronghold Crusader is a 24-year-old game.
If anyone happened to play this game at launch in their teens or onwards, they are at an age where they need to start have conversations with their doctor about screening for health concerns that come with senescence. Colonoscopy/prostate exam/mammography/etc.

- Comment on tech never works for long 5 weeks ago:
Not to mention the companion app itself is scraping telemetry data:
-
What phone you use
-
What network it’s connected to
-
What times you use your phone
-
Approximate location
-
A list of other apps you have installed
And that’s all before we get into the nitty gritty of how the user actually engages with the app content, or other device permissions the app might request. Maybe “Location” for recommending preheat times based on distance, maybe “Camera” to check doneness, maybe “Nearby devices” to pair with first-party accessories, or maybe “Photos and video” for some shoehorned social media component.
They can ask for any permission for ostensibly innocuous/justified reasons, but once those permissions are granted, they have full access to that data to do whatever else they want with it. They’ll know who you are, where you are, when you’re there, what you’re doing there, and who else you’re with.

- Comment on It's free real estate 5 weeks ago:
I once made a computer factory that was essentially a large floating octahedron. It had a condensed feed of materials coming in from one point in the bottom and a few drone ports to bring in other completed parts around the middle. I didn’t plan for it, but just started building stages wider as I went taller until I noticed subsequent stages required less space, after which I started going in reverse.
- Comment on It's free real estate 5 weeks ago:
My latest challenge mode in that game is to try and develop infrastructure while destroying as little of the natural environment as possible.
This has led to building a number of offshore plants, but the difficulty is having to still run materials to them before unlocking drones to do it for me.
Whenever I have to build in the interior, I’ve tried to focus on building tall instead of wide so that it doesn’t take up much land space. But that does cause the horizon to become cluttered with a few industrial spires.
I can’t help but have to destroy some of the environment to get early biofuel power going, but I focus on finding as many crash sites as I can early on to skip to coal as quickly as possible.
