Last book (reading with my kid): The Wild Robot Escapes. Definitely would recommend, nearly on par with the first.
Current book: The Wild Robot Protects. Would recommend if you’re a fan of the series; otherwise, it seems like a step down so far.
Yep. I assume since Candy Crush hasn’t been culturally relevant for like 10 years that it’s on its last leg anyway and this is a desperate attempt to prop up a dying company. Though I’m afraid to check though because I don’t want to see that it’s still posting record profits year after year.
“Most of level design has been wiped, which is crazy since they’ve spent months building tools to craft levels quicker,” said one employee. “Now those AI tools are basically replacing the teams. Similarly, the copywriting team is completely removing people since we now have AI tools that those individuals have been creating.”
Is that surprising? All along these developers have been training their replacement.

Thanks dad.

But to your broader point, it takes a lot of work to right something that’s bad. Someone who has a troubled youth but does their time and spends years rehabilitating their image may be remembered for their later years, while someone who is a terrible person and then says something nice on their deathbed is likely to only be remembered for the bad.
Tying back to the shower thought, a show can start out bad and get good (Star Trek TNG, Parks and Recreation,) but a show whose only good episode is the finale is unlikely to be remembered fondly.
We absolutely do apply these to people. Kevin Spacey? Bill Cosby? Jeffrey Epstein? Jared Fogle? Joe Paterno? Louis CK? Chris Brown? P. Diddy? Harvey Weinstein? OJ Simpson?
Your post made me realize that troll links in general are going to be mystifying. Case in point, Arctic gave me a thumbnail without needing to click.
can we really trust a “black box” algorithm with our lives?
No. That’s why we have clinical trials.

The Wild Robot Protects
Not quite as good as The Wild Robot and The Wild Robot Escapes, but the entire series is an excellent set of children’s novels.
The reason you find cold water refreshing is because of early humans.
Never played Escape Velocity, but Endless Sky was fantastic. Both the main quest lines had fantastic stories, especially the first one.
Adaptation, because it’s more Nic Cage!
Depends on the function.
Forum comment chains should always be top to bottom within the same chain. But for live chat, both top to bottom and bottom to top are acceptable.
Nah, it’ll be Half Life Alyx: Epsiode 1.
