If I’m seeing the word “AI” outside of academic research or shitposting, it’s almost certainly coming from a Techbro or techbro simp.
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 3 days ago:
I never really worried to much about continuity errors. The worse is Halsey being in two different places during the events of Fall of Reach book and the game Reach. The Forerunner books actually smoothed that stuff out by explaining when huge amounts of materials pass though Slipspace or go far too fast through Slipspace(remember that crystal?), temporal errors build up and you get a timeline slit. Unlike most scifi timeline splits though, in Halo, the lines can reconverge and Reconcile without most people realizing it happen. Halo 5 made a little nod to that with Halsey’s “Casual Reconciliation” line. Somewhere in the Halo universe, some bookkeep is pulling their hair out trying to figure out how Halsey departed Reach twice.

Not necessarily beloved, but I hated the tone and genre shift between Jak and Daxter and Jak 2. I hated the driving sections so much, that that’s where I put the game down. Looking back, I guess they wanted to make a different game, but had to make a sequel?

It’s explained in the game that the Covenant faction you fight is a splinter faction. There’s more details in the books, I didn’t have problems when I played it.

Because it’s 10 miles from public transit and Friend 3 has to bum rides from everyone?

Concrete doesn’t house CO2. When they created Biodome2, the engineers didn’t factor in the curing time and CO2 output and the scientists had to vent the facility or suffocate.

That’s comparing Apples to Shampoo. To completely different concepts and it’s not an either/or situation.
- Comment on Too bad we can't have good public transportation 1 week ago:
Their intention was to bolster the economy with busy work, but that’s not a long term solution.
- Comment on Too bad we can't have good public transportation 1 week ago:
Just a reminder that concrete releases huge amounts of CO2 as it cures. Empty cities don’t help anyone.

If you really want to sign the petition, fine. Just call them before doing that.
- Comment on Petition to tell MasterCard, Visa, and activist groups to stop censoring legal fictional content 1 week ago:
Change.org and email can be ignored automatically. Calling them costs them call center money.
- Comment on Petition to tell MasterCard, Visa, and activist groups to stop censoring legal fictional content 1 week ago:
Don’t waste your time with change.org. Call your CC company directly and complain. Not email. Call.

Most billionaires do keep out of sight, but that’s because they know when the revolution comes they don’t want to be the first against the wall.

It’d be nice to set your mobile in one and have it connect to other units in a house to mimic landlines.

It’s not a big deal, but it is funny how it happened. Never heard of any of these people or the company before, so I have nothing invested in this.

- Comment on Twitch's largest political streamer, Asmongold, shovels racist and xenophobic messaging to his audience of 52K+ live viewers 3 weeks ago:
That’s all. His chuds look for validation by finding a big streamer to regurgitate their views. Doesn’t matter that his only life experience is rotting in front of WoW. Doesn’t matter that he used the sunlight hitting a dead rat as an alarm clock. Doesn’t matter that his teeth bleed.

It’s a popular streamer game, which means long gaps where nothing happens.

I think Croteam has been able to have moderate success over the years, but being based in Eastern Europe might make them insulated from issues. Devolver only recently bought them, but they seem to be one of the few good publishers. I at least didn’t see their name on the Video Games Europe member list that’s opposed to SKGs.

They should have researched things or at least not dismiss anyone who voices any skepticism. I had my free education wasted because no one wanted to take me seriously. At least I get to say I TOLD YOU SO. These people are more then just misinformed. They’re cult members who viciously protect their misinformation.
