  I mean have you seen the slop the music industry is already putting out? Top 40 pop stars have been overproduced manufactured garbage for literal decades, what difference does it make if its one producer writing all the shitty samples and lyrics for 100 pop stars or if its AI. Real music will still exist and the true art will be confined to the fringes, as it already mostly is. Soulless music is soulless regardles of if its being made by a machine or a hack.

  Does this work? I didnt notice a difference at all. Just tilt the screen and its readable with both or either eye.

  I mean if i was just chilling in the woods having a good time and a group of people came along and were like ‘theres a dude missing in the woods, we’re super worried about him, help us look’ id probably join them too. Seems like more of a failure by whoever called the search party. Of course that would never happen to me because I’d never tell anyone where im going and nobody would miss me.

  What exactly is closing one eye suppose to do?

  When is the last time you heard of someone getting intentionally poisoned by a delivery driver? Id be surprised if its happened. Let alone happened in a targeted attack because the person is ‘famous’. Also most streamers are orders of magnitude away from being as famous as their fans seem to think they are. Normal people dont care about your favorite streamer.

  They probably were upset, but not upset enough to do anything about it because they still wanted to play it. I personally would have refunded it right away, and lots of people probably also did that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Which was a deception in the first place, because it clearly distinguishes between ‘1 player’ where it doesn’t say anything about needing a network connection, and 2-8 player where it says network and playstation plus required. It also says network features can be removed at any time, but nowhere does it say 1 player is a network feature. It specifically does not say that.

  Plot twist: the websites that check if a given number has been found in pi are actually just data mining operations looking for credit card numbers and phone numbers.

  How does reddit implement this? Afaik famous peoples accounts were known only by reputation and if they posted some form of image verification publicly, but there wasnt any identity verification going on on reddits end. Thats how it used to be everywhere, and how it probably should still be. If you saw an account claiming to be someone, you didn’t believe it was actually them unless you could check it out and verify their identity in some way.

  I love eureka. Warehouse 13 is great too if you havent seen it. Also buffy and the new (old) doctor who give me similar vibes. Oh and a show called reaper from the early 2000s. I kinda miss wheb tv was more lighthearted and fun

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As ‘Twin Peaks’ Turns 35, the Mystery Is Still the Message for a World of Fans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would give it at least 3 or 4 for the characters to be introduced and the mysteries to start developing, as well as to familiarize yourself with the tone and pacing, its a very unique show. Id say after 4 episodes you’ll either be hooked or you won’t though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As ‘Twin Peaks’ Turns 35, the Mystery Is Still the Message for a World of Fans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I definitely think it holds up, although i watched it for the first time in the early 2000s so I might have nostalgia factor, i rewatched the whole series recently and very much enjoyed it. Lost on the other hand doesn’t hold up imo. Feels totally unplanned and aimless in comparison like they were trying to do the strange mystery vibe of twin peaks without anythjng being thought through beforehand and just wroting by the seat of their pants the whole time. Twin peaks is a vibe too where lost is just glossy and overproduced.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The steam deck has way more potential, but CAN be just as simplr as only ever launching and downloading games through gaming mode. The parent downloads 5stean deck verified games and then all the kid has to do is use the joystick to switch between them. But then it also has the potential to be a learning experience or teaching tool as the kid grows. But the steamos gaming mode is dead simple to navigate and a child could definitely use it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Idiots who have never used a steam deck and are obviously scared by the word linux in this thread. You can easily use the steamdeck without ever leaving gaming mode and with absolutely no troubleshooting needed. Its as simple as browsing steam, pressing download, and pressing play. I would absolutely give it to a child with a few games preloaded, and they would be perfectly fine to use it. The UI is way more friendly than the switch one also. Everytime ive tried to play a game on switch with friends theres been some update that takes ages, the Ui is slow and clunky, and connecting joycons is an absolute pain. What troubleshooting do you think is necessary to run a game from steam lmao?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Steam deck is definitely just as easy to use as the switch for playing and downloading basic games from the storefront. A 5 year old could absolutely use it easily with some games preloaded.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Artist Depiction⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean if i had never seen a hippo before i would argue that the artists depiction looks more realistic than the actual hippo does. Theyre freaky cartoonish looking things that don’t really loon like any other animals, certainly not one of the most dangerous animals in existence.

  Just walk around downtown asking for drugs. If you dont find any and the drugs don’t kill you, someone probably will eventually.

  Most of those look worse in the bottom pictures tbh. A couple of the top ones look a little too bright and washed out, but the bottom ones just look low contrast and dark.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chrono Trigger Is Timeless⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know if you’ve tried crosscode, and its been a (long) while since iv3 played chrono trigger, but from what i remember of playing it they gave me very much the same vibes, and i was totally blown away by crosscode. Most fun ive had playing a game in a long time, with a surprisingly engaging story.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maureen Dowd Ate an Asinine Amount of Edibles Once⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How many kids have given themselves alcohol poisoning their first few times drinking because they didn’t understand the proper dosage? Thats a much more serious and significant problem, but nobodys suggesting alcohol should only be available in individual serving airline bottles.

  Music also. Cant begin to count all the great songs that have really resonated with me and then find out the artist overdosed or blew their brains out.

  Im almost done playing crosscode and i was floored away by how engaging and fun it is. I never thought id invest 60+ hours in it so willingly and eagerly. Honestly the best time ive had in gaming in a long time.

  I thonk this one is pretty forgivable. Everytime should be a word imo. It has a lot more justification than some of the words that have recently been added and accepted into common use and vernacular. Everywhere, everyone, everyday, everybody are all words and set a hell of a precedent. How is everytime different, besides being a poster word for pedants to pick at.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Henry Symeonis⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You could do something to help an enormous amount of people. But realistically in the world we live in that would probably still involve killing someone.
