This got me curious whether the milk would be any different and, if I’m reading this study correctly, there’s practically no difference in content

Said study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7462406/

Don’t forget, from 2014 to 2021, they had George W Bush’s Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on their board of directors.

Hold a “So you just lost access to the employee discount” sale on the Microsoft store.

Not necessarily gaming related, but I remember their early coverage of every new Apple product as somehow more masturbatory than anything MacWorld put out. Then you’ve got their infamous complete mess of a PC build video and everything that followed that. I guess at least they aren’t written by AI yet?

Plus a smug phone call from Trump asking Bibi not to accept the agreement because it might help the Democrats win the election.

I’m one. When he moved Tesla engineers to work on Twitter and then went on an unhinged anti-Trans rant in the middle of an earnings call, I shopped around and traded in my model 3. I always assumed the major selling point of a Tesla was the software, but he keeps fucking with the people who make it.

It’s possible I just haven’t come across those types of comments you’re making fun of, but I usually just see people making the case that we don’t need new, possibly overreaching, legislation to handle these situations. They want to avoid a disingenuous “think of the children” kind of situation.

a youth court in the city of Badajoz said it had convicted the minors of 20 counts of creating child abuse images and 20 counts of offences against their victims’ moral integrity

I’m not familiar with their legal system but I would be willing to bet the crimes they’ve committed were already illegal under existing laws.

I ran across software once that wouldn’t compile properly and the only documentation available was an archive.org hosted backup of an Intel help page that no longer exists. There is no alternative, Intel just removed it entirely.

One of the Arrowhead community managers said they’re trying to get more information regarding regions, so it kinda seems like they weren’t fully prepared for this/got blindsided by Sony a bit. There should be an FAQ/QA with additional info coming soon.

It’s like the people who used to put messages about preventing Facebook from using their content in their profile descriptions. It probably won’t actually do anything, but it’s a nice thought and more power to them if it makes them feel better.

The main story is basically Journey with friends and cosmetics. It expands a bit as you complete each area, easing you into more difficult/spookier content, but it never gets too complex.

There’s also a bunch of secret stuff to find and all of the older seasonal stuff that remains after they ended.

Spoilers for sure, but the wiki is helpful: https://sky-children-of-the-light.fandom.com/wiki/Sky:_Children_of_the_Light_Wiki

They have a pretty long history of publicly claiming to be best buddies but not-so-secretly despising each other and eyeing each other’s territory.

IIRC it was also commonly thought the Soviet Union and PRC were buddies because Communism but they each claimed to be the true successor to Marx’s ideology and denounced the other as inadequate.

Might be misremembering some parts, it’s been a while since I studied this.

It sounds like one of Trump’s speech writers managed to concoct a double whammy that panders to both great replacement conspiracy theorists and border security idiots. Has anyone seen Stephen Miller recently?

There were people spamming the devs with requests to make the game harder and saying it’s too easy.

I voted for every response that said any additional difficulty changes should be optional, like how palworld/valheim have configurable difficulty.

It seems like people genuinely do not know about the nukes that Israel definitely does not possess wink wink. Kinda changes the dynamic a little bit, I think.

I can’t access the research article “craic in a box: commodifying and exporting the irish pub” anymore, but there’s a decent enough Vice article that goes over it: https://www.vice.com/en/article/a3d8gb/why-irish-pubs-became-the-biggest-food-and-drink-export-since-mcdonalds

Basically corporations packaged up and sold the theme and decorations that made Irish pubs feel authentic.

I wonder if using AI/ML is just the natural evolution of that kinda thing.

It’s more like a traditional 2d fighter than smash, but you can do that with MUGEN

Maybe they shouldn’t have spent any money hiring the fucking Pinkertons? 🤷‍♂️

I still consider this recent enough to count: Beating the absolute shit out of protestors outside of the embassy

It’s possible. It’s definitely a game that asks a lot of the player to get immersed in the underlying story. Lots of relatively dense philosophical excerpts to read in the terminals. That’s on top of lore-related text to read which really fleshes out the pretty dark story they’re telling. Then there are the puzzles which might not be everyone’s thing.

The second game improves this greatly by moving the majority of the story out of text and into voiced dialogue with NPCs and a few cutscenes. The jump from the Serious Sam engine to UE5 is pretty mind-blowing in terms of graphics. I think there’s going to be a third one, as well?

If the game can’t suck you in, I’d at least recommend looking up the story. It’s pretty neat.
