B&W2 was meh. I liked the erratic nature of creature behavior in 1, even tho it meant that you had to be more involved. Not punishing your creature for bad behavior was interpreted as encouraging it, which turned your buddy into a scheming, little brat and that was funny. The creature in 2 is way too streamlined.

Talked to a guy recently that claimed ChatGPT has “an IQ of over 300”. Laughed hard, he got mad at me laughing.

Imagine thinking it’s a mental disorder when you are nice to people you like. Explains a lot about the world tho.

Are you working at returns in retail?

I was much smarter before having depression. The reason? I used to be interested in a lot of different things, reading about them, trying them out. Now it’s just like why bother, makes no difference anyway.

I am convinced that “intelligence” or “intellect” or however you want to brand it is just a measurement of interest in a topic, nothing else.

Here is the patent if someone is interested:

As a millenial, I never understood this. Back when we were having LAN parties, we always shared our porn, so I know what pretty much everyone I care about tosses their salad to and they do know what I get off on as well. I’m impervious to that sort of blackmail, it’s like a superpower.

My negativity and cynicism definitely increase with my recent online time, yeah.

No wonder the Scots wanted to secede from this mess.

It’s grammatically correct, so maybe just a little jab towards Winnie the Ping.

When was it decided that parents can do absolutely nothing wrong regarding their kids so that intrusive bullshit like this had to be introduced? Who in their right mind would upload their ID or face pic to some rando porn site to verify an age? It’s like Internet Security 101 to not do that ever.

I had a sour taste in my mouth when signing Stop Killing Games because it required my full legal name and address even tho I understand that they need to verify my eligibility to vote and I trust them way more than I trust a for-profit porn site. It’s just not something I usually do on principle.

You know who else curtails developer choice by setting arbitrary deadlines and pushing for aggressive monetization? Game publishers. Pretty sure the devs don’t want their game to be universally hated for lootboxes and bugs.

Proton is a big deal for the change. Think back 5 years ago and switching to Linux was much less approachable because you needed to be an enthusiast to get your games running. Nowadays, you just click download on the Linux Steam client and >90% of the time, it’ll just work.

The amount of obvious karma farming getting 1500+ comments of “engagement” is insane. Just take a brief look on r/all and you’ll see about 20% bait. r/AITA, r/AmIOverreacting, r/PeterExplainsTheJoke, etc all of these likely-styled subreddits are just obvious bots. I don’t even get the point of karma farming.

Why cancel Freelancer 2, Microsoft? Why?

Goo-da is almost a pokémon

You can live in Cheddar. Nice town, good hiking opportunities.

This is what a software developer would call a con-action error.

Reminds me of that old TV trope of saying “over and out”. This is not how you end a radio transmission. “Over” means that you are finished talking and are now awaiting a reply, “out” means that you finished talking and are going to stop listening for a reply. Saying both together is contradictory, you only say “out” when you’re done.
