Games I'm looking forward to:

• Skyrim sequel
• Jedi outcast sequel
• Half-life 3 (lol)

Games I'm enraged there will be no sequel to:

• Days Gone

Games I used to love that were ruined beyond hope and I never want to play a new iteration of:

• Everything made by Blizzard

Games that I'll consider once it's on sale for $30 on Steam:

• This
• Whatever the team behind Baldur's Gate 3 is doing next
• Whatever the team that did No Man's Sky is doing next

That's pretty much everything.

Sorry, fallen order / survivor, not outcast. That's what I get for going by memory.

That said, sequels to outcast and x-wing would be pretty awesome.

That's one of the reasons I swear all the fucking time. That and I just have a potty mouth I don't bother censoring when I'm anonymous.

That said, autocorrect fucks me over often enough, if I could wire in an LLM to poke me on the shoulder when I say something completely unintelligible, I would. But as long as I have to copy and paste my shit, that's too much work, so I'll proofread after I hit post as god intended.

Frankly, I wish the conversation would focus on the Epstein files. Obviously they don't exist in a vacuum, this administration does too many awful things on a daily basis to never examine them, but if there is one thing we could do to induce cardiac stress, it would be to hammer him with being a pedophile. Every. Single. Day.

The reflecting pool is emblematic of his failures. As is the Iran war. These are all things he can and does blame on others and attack them for. Being a disgusting child abuser is the one thing he fucking owns. I wish he wouldn't experience a single day for the rest of his life without someone questioning that to his face.

Can I sue everyone who allows packaging that cannot be opened without slicing yourself or the contents wide open? That's who needs to be sued.

I think you vastly overestimate the chance this isn't a scam.

He should ask AI what to do.

without any explanations about the world or comforts to be held

Says who? There are plenty of explanations. Gravity. Chemistry. Biology. Physics. There are tons of explanations of things.

Being told that there is nothing after death or that no one really knows, would have send me spiraling.

I don’t find the prospect of an afterlife comforting. We are supposed to end. That's what gives our brief time scope and meaning. I'm 51. Already I can only remember highlights of my childhood. What would even exist of me after 300 years? 1000? 1 million? I only have a short time to leave this world a better place than I found, which makes that time and those efforts precious. If I lasted a billion years why bother? None of any of this matters in the context of infinite time.

i cant imagine there being no resentment or conflicted feeling

Why? I mean I might feel like I'd let my kids down if they needed a religion, but I wouldn't resent it. I don't own them. They have and will make choices I don't agree with. That's why I wanted children. They are my continuation after death. The lessons I teach them about life and how to approach it and how to be good people are the thing that will outlive me. And through their relationships my influence on this world endures long after my name is forgotten. But they will be their own people and I wouldn't want it any other way.

I saw a job app the other day. Caught my eye because it's offering 1.5-2x what I'm making today. They have a big disclaimer that they use AI to help vet resumes. I'm not applying because I'm happy where I am (and because an undisclosed portion of that pay is performance based), but if I did, I guarantee I'm sending AI slop that knows how to sound like what AI wants to hear.

I have been on both sides of hiring. It's awful for everyone. It's like speed dating because you need a partner in two weeks. AI is bullshit. HR is bullshit. Leetcode is bullshit. To a point, even a degree is bullshit — almost all of my coworkers have at least a bachelor's degree but I'll bet none of them know I do not — one of the guys who works for me just got his Master's. The only good test is to sit down with someone and see if they have what you're looking for.

Every time I've gotten to do that, I've been hired. But I've gone months unemployed because getting that shot can be so difficult — the one place my lack of degree holds me back.

Anyway it's like Star Wars said — when bullshit rises, more bullshit rises to meet it.

I feel like that is a sort of protection that should never, ever be granted under any circumstances. Like you'd better feel comfortable going in front of a judge and explaining how you made every reasonable effort to protect children or you need to stay the fuck away from children.

The people you listed were already doing this. The problem is Darrell, the guy who thinks Earth is flat, can also do this.

It's hard not to be angry at said "friend" on your behalf. And your partner. I understand what you're going through. Good luck.

Dude should've been putting out remixes of books and lyrics.

For someone who so loves to hear his own voice and be on TV, it is nigh inevitable he will shit himself and keel over on TV in the middle of some word soup.

Excellent! Fuck Musk.

And while I'm not an AI hater, that is 100% the investors trying to cash out before the industry runs into trouble.

Who in the world said servers are authorized to demand such a thing?

A BBC journalist ran the image through an AI chatbot which identified key spots that may have been manipulated.

What the actual fuck? You couldn't spare someone to just go look at the fucking thing rather than asking ChatGPT to spin you a tale? What are we even doing here, BBC?

A photo taken by a BBC North West Tonight reporter showed the bridge is undamaged

So they did. Why are we talking about ChatGPT then? You could just leave that part out. It's useless. Obviously a fake photo has been manipulated. Why bother asking?

There's no guarantee anyone on there (or here) is a real person or genuine. I'll bet this experiment has been conducted a dozen times or more but without the reveal at the end.

Literally the worst possible champions of this cause.
