Astronomer & video game data scientist with repressed anger
And yet it still has a bunch of ads for PC+ littered throughout it. Despite being grandfathered in, I abandoned it earlier this year for Podcast Republic, which hasn’t spammed me or locked me out of any features I’ve tried to play with despite not having paid them anything.
Just add degrees to any ol’ unit. It’s fine. Unit multiplication isn’t implied, I promise!
I just biked 25 degrees kilometre!
It’s the word of the day every day they be doing war crimes.
Not only is it impossible to evacuate that many people in that short a time, but they’re basically declaring that they’re going to use their military to targer and kill civilians.
Which is a war crime.
“Hamas did it first” doesn’t give them a pass here. If it’s not ok for Hamas, it’s not ok for the Israeli state. And inverting that, if it is ok for the Israeli state…
Just another episode of Pog & Dar: Cop Landlords
They’re in the upper right corner
People spending more time with fewer games is not a reason, in publishers’ minds, to reverse course. It’s the intended outcome.
Having the same number of people (or near the same number) playing fewer games, and filling those games with monetization features is cheaper and easier to maintain than having a broad and growing library of titles.
Remember, the ideal for publishers is to have one game that everyone plays that has no content outside of a “spend money” button that players hit over and over again. That’s the cheapest product they can put out, and it gives them all the money. They’re all seeking everything-for-nothing relationships with customers.
The system required personally ambitious people to the right thing for everyone instead of the thing that would get them further ahead as an individual. In the face of the wealth and power of the oil industry, corruption was almost inevitable, sadly.
It’s litigation around what a machine can freely use in its learning model.
No, its not that, either. It’s litigation around what resources a person can exploit to develop a product without paying for that right.
The machine is doing nothing wrong. It’s not feeding itself.
Gender identity is a advanced topic that children don’t have the ability to rationalize.
If you believe that children cannot comprehend “boy” and “girl”, then I don’t know what to tell you.
Other than we know what all of this is really about. None of y’all are at all subtle about it, nor are you even a quarter as smart as you think you are.
Apparently they just think that their own disengagement with their kids’ education is a conspiracy against them personally.
“I believe other people’s human rights should be violated because I don’t like them” is a great position to have right up until you’re the disliked party.
I imagine you picture yourself as always the top dog. Protected, even, by the belief that even if you find yourself face down in the mud, the people you gleefully abuse will not step on your head to let you drown in the muck.
And you’re probably right that they wouldn’t. Because they’re probably better people than you are, having had to learn empathy in a world that doesn’t think much of them.
But I kind of hope you choke on dirt.
That doesn’t really answer the question, though. Most violence is done by people who are habitually violent, and most violence is not completely random and committed against strangers.
Dude is broken, but someone being traumatized and repeating a cycle of aggression and trauma doesn’t actually explain any particular incident they have.
Indeed. An easy and straightforward method of regulatory capture is to convince politicians that the regulations just don’t need to be enforced. “The rules are fair! We totally agree to them! Now, just let us police ourself, which you know we’ll do a good job of because we agreed with your rules!”
Yes, this is ultimately what it means, which means serious effort needs to be made to not let this die down.
Serious effort that I don’t believe will happen, as efforts would need to be constantly escalating to remain in the news cycle.
People are taking your bait on the 3rd party bullshit, but this cannot be overlooked:
Conservatives fund the NDP
Don’t choke on your tinfoil or anything. Especially not in the name of supporting a right wing party LARPing as something progressive.
Now do 1985.
Never mind, I’ll do it myself: NES games were $50, which today is about $185.
The credentialism is overwhelmingly about classism, so if you make university free, that part becomes a totally different beast. That BSc is no longer a sign that you come from wealth (or are willing to indenture yourself to employers to LARP it), so it becomes less of an issue.
It also addresses the “one or two classes” issue.
The scheduling thing can be fixed by restructuring work. There’s no good reason work needs to take up a contiguous block of time each day nor why it needs to take up 1/2 of the waking day.
I don’t know, seemed obvious from context.
Or, we could acknowledge that a populace educated in enriching educational topics is a huge net benefit to society, and we don’t do that.
Let people pay for business school, or other bullshit that only benefits private interests.
I’m not looking for a d6 fantasy game right now, but I’m super interested in their momentum based resource management system. I also appreciate that they actually pay their writers, and am curious as to what kind of modules they’ll be releasing in support of the game.
