Get fucked, Robert Kraft.

This reads more dystopian than any news before, ever, in my eyes.

Because Ukraine was once a very conservative country.

Supported. Next, start a petition to criminalize politicians pushing the same crappy laws again and again in the hopes they at some point pass.

An open world game is something you immerse yourself in and you learn as you go. It is 100% incompatible with strict “win conditions” for every instance.

I don’t see how this is about win conditions. The game communicated the consequences of your action poorly. That is on the game, not on the player. There is a reason why one of the first type of mods coming out for Fallout 4 were mods that replaced the often times misleading 3-word response prompts with the actual lines that are behind those prompts; because in a game where you need to interact a lot with NPCs, it is crucial to be able to predict how your attempt at interacting is going to be received. Vanilla Fallout 4 failed at that and as it seems, RDR2 fails at this as well.

The european comission decided to not do anything. Right now there are efforts underway in the european parliament to force the commission’s hand and to attach the main point of the SKG campaign to legislature already in the works.

Problem is that nitter itself was also hit. Developing it will get a lot more harder. And the original developer(s) will stay away from developing it further.

Modern-day monarchy, yay!

I already said in another post that all those tech billionaires LotR-“inspired” surveillance companies will turn me pro IP-law. All those fascist doomsday fuckers can do is steal ideas.

I just thought about the dickless Elon Musk. How fitting that noone besides him would find any meaning in launching competition to Wikipedia. And they’re not even the good guys.

It won’t be that kind of sailing ship. It’ll mostly be tankers and bulk-cargo, because of the free deck space, with huge cylenders or panels. No “proper” sails.

I don’t know if we’re talking about the same show. MAWS is in its 3rd season now. It has been good so far in my opinion.

It really is pretty dead outside the main subjects. I have noone to talk about the latest episode of My Adventures with Superman. Did they now just leave the other universe with Clark dead? That sucks.

To add an annecdote, hexbear has this handy link to an image: (nsfw) https://hexbear.net/PPB

Ask yourself why a discussion platform might keep this image quick-link and you may understand why everyone defederates from them.

Well, if you have to personally liable for the shit a bunch of internet strangers say, you might think differently. That is one boon of being a mega-corp. You are somewhat immune to SLAPP-lawsuits and the like.

How I thought reality would play out once AI became a thing:

Gamers: “Oh my god, the AI is alive!”
Tech bros: “It’s just a machine!”

How reality is really playing out:

Tech Bros: " OMG, the AI is better than a human!"
Gamers: “It’s just an algorithm, stfu.”

The oldest political playbook in defaming your enemy: They are at the same time very scary and also entirely helpless.

Thanks for the idea!

Now I need to find another easy-to-use streaming stick for my parents.

Stargate SG1 has a very muted romantic subplot that ultimately goes nowhere, SGA has no romantic subplot between the main characters.
