Why does milk that has sat out long enough have emergent properties? Is this a sign that milk is the future?

Who the hell in their right mind would want to buy a switch after seeing this?

At that cost stop wasting your money and directly commision an artist to make a cool work of art with your character that you can hang on your wall and look at even when you aren’t playing Diablo.

Artists desperately need your money, which includes artists working for Blizzard, but casinos like this never give a fair cut to artists in the end.

Nice! If you want to keep looking and find some new RTS games/keep up with news in the genre I enjoy this youtuber’s videos

Operation Harsh Doorstop - I have been missing a moddable big map team based vehicle shooter for… a decade? EA really screwed this space over and for years and years mods like Forgotten Hope 2 and Project Reality stayed on the Battlefield 2 engine because no new alternative came. OHD is that game, and it is free! Flying helicopters in multiplayer is a mental challenge and rush like no other. Still early access and a lot of rough edges, but the core is so good that I have been totally addicted and spent a lot of time helping noobs figure out the game because I like it so much.

Motor Town: Behind The Wheel - Recently there has been a big increase in multiplayer servers with 20+ people on them, which this game ABSOLUTELY deserves and even more excitingly I have started to see custom race events organically pop up in populated servers which I think will become really popular since Motor Town is a fantastic racing game that just happens to also be a fantastic driving job simulator. It is a blast to organically meet up with some other drivers on a server and do a couple of races together and then go off and do other driving jobs.

Out Of Ore - Really I don’t know I hadn’t gotten this game before, I am a geologist and I like big machines, in this game it is like one of those satisfactory/factorio games… except you ACTUALLY mine instead of all the fun bits being abstracted away leaving only the fiddly automation parts. There are a plethora of loaders, excavators and trucks and digging and terraforming land with them is a blast in this game. I haven’t played for super long but it is already a huge recommend for me!

You ever try Beyond All Reason?

I am not sure I remember anymore, I have eaten my tail one too many times.

I don’t think this is a direct meaning of the metaphor, though any metaphor of endlessly repeating cycles can be placed in a rhetorical framework where it represents enshittification so I am sure I am not the first person to add or tweak the metaphor with that context.

What most people don’t know about the ouroboros is that every time the creature eats itself it becomes a little bit closer to being a turd (a consequence of its peculiar metabolism) so even though from an inside perspective the system appears to be in a complex mysterious cyclic kind of stasis, from the outside it is just more and more obviously a turd in the shape of a donut.

Can you make the algorithm open source that determined it was ok for you to murder Tuvix tho

Social media didn’t break people’s brains, the massive influx of conservative corporate money to distort society and keep existential problems from being fixed until it is too late and push people resort to to impulsive, kneejerk responses because they have been ground down to crumbs… broke people’s brains.

If we didn’t have social media right now and all of this was happening, it would be SO much worse without younger people being able to find news about the Palestinian Genocide or other world news that their country/the rich conservatives around them don’t want them to read.

It is what those in power DID to social media that broke people’s brains and it is why most of us have come here to create a social network not being driven by those interests.

The only way this could be an even remotely scientifically rigorous study is if they randomly selected the people who were going to respond to the AI responses and made sure they were human.

Anybody with half a brain knows just reading reddit comments and not assuming most of them are bots or shills is a hilariously naive act, the fact that “researchers” did the same for a scientific study is embarassing.

Last time I tried to opt out of the face scan the TSA agent literally laughed in my face, the rule of law is a joke in this country.

Penguins are LITERALLY always flippant, they can’t be serious enough for a high powered surfboard room environments with extremely fancy custom keurig machines, besides we are Microsoft upper management…

a rare photo of a young adult Steve Ballmer, lucky someone through him back in the ocean… unless you are a penguin

No, this is our plan?

Here at Microsoft’s upper management we pride ourselves in expecting nothing but par excellence from one another when it comes to embodying the aesthetics of competence but we are just as gullible and lost in our own bullshit as Trump we just take the danger of the general public realizing this very serious which is why we are going to show the world we aren’t kidding about getting these economically inefficient birds back into line by putting them into crushing debt.

In a head on match up, Windows always out perform birds, that is just the fiscal reality and it is only one of the reasons why we are a Fortune 5000 Golden Donald Edition Company!

edit you want proof? Why would hamas supporting Bird Fundamentalists a.k.a. “The Audobon Society” put out anti-Windows propaganda like this?

Window collisions are one of the leading direct human causes of bird mortality.

what shameful slander

The radical fake green energy movement’s Windmills are the real enemies, Windows is completely harmless.

hahaha ooops did we let it slip we are gleefully profiting from genocide and are desperate to get in on the ground floor of using the veneer of tech hype to run cover for a genocide in any way we can?..yeah for some reason we can’t help but tell on ourselves oh well… as a rule nobody gets as rich as I am if they actually care about the consequences of their actions!

Ok just wait us Microsoft execs are going to pressure Trump to keep increasing tariffs on the penguins and when all of a sudden they need new suits for all the tween penguins ready to shed their adolescent coat we will see who comes out on top.

This is how you do business, penguins don’t know how to do business and we won’t let them have our AI so they can figure out how to either.

The tickets don’t need to be that expensive, movie theaters are the cheapest group human experience possible since all you are doing is providing a room, electricity and a movie. If you don’t count the human labor, I guessss live theater or standup comedy is cheaper?

Every other type of entertainment including serving alcohol or food to people is actually much much more complicated and costly.

People, including introverts, desire being around humans and experiencing genuine human group interaction even if it isn’t direct. People often describe it as people watching or going out to dinner alone, don’t make the mistake of people only desiring one kind of direct connection with socialization.

A movie provides a context for people to come together and it is a very open and inviting context that doesn’t pressure you into uncomfortable situations while still letting you experience something together with other people, that hasn’t changed.

The major thing that has changed is again, people are falling apart and so have cut out going to the movies.

How can I enjoy company with my friends more than seeing a movie we were both hyped for in theaters and hollering or gasping along with the rest of the crowd? If I am into movies, that is like the prime movie experience, and newsflash a WHOLE LOT of people are into movies.

I mean, sure, it makes sense that you have convinced yourself you are a fundamentally anti-social person in this context, I get the feeling and vibes but I don’t buy it is actually true.

The reason movie theater ticket sales are going down is people are falling apart, it is pretty simple.

If you are burned out, watching a movie on your tv and not stressing out about driving to a movie theater and buying tickets and finding parking etc… is going to be much more attractive. That doesn’t mean that you wouldn’t much prefer to go out to the movie theater instead if you felt up for it.

I think you may be confusing your own joy at introversion with a wider process of the social fabric of society being torn apart here, most people do not just want to sit at home and be lonely, to such an extreme degree that if the process of going to the movies was easy and affordable and they had the energy just the idea of being in a room with other people excited about something is enough to tip the scales in favor of going out to the movies not even factoring in that the experience would do justice to their favorite thing 100 times better.

If people by and large do not desire that experience, and I can’t stress this enough, it isn’t because movie theaters are obsolete or people didn’t fundamentally desire to watch movies in big groups on awesome screens and sound systems, it is simply what the social fabric of society tearing apart looks like in the medium of cinema as people retreat from public spaces.

I want to be clear too, I am not throwing shade at you for preferring to watch movies alone at home, I am just saying that is not what the majority of humans want and indeed for most humans replacing group activities with watching movies alone is NOT an actual ful replacement for the activity. Maybe for you it is, and that is ok, but I am very skeptical most people feel the way you do even if the narrative you are conveying is a popular one in conversation about movie theaters.

That has nothing to do with people not wanting to make an evening of going out with their spouse to see a movie and maybe get dinner or icecream… and everything to do with people being too busy, poor, overworked and friendless to go out to the movies.

My point is the minds of business execs like this are so rotten that they can’t understand the difference between old and outdated, they value things on vibes and hype because they don’t actually know wtf they are doing.

The more people stick their heads into their phones the more the idea of making an event to go see an awesome movie in theaters becomes attractive vs watching it on a phone the way people already watch everything else.
