Did you just step out of a time machine? Their sales haven't had games for ages now. Last one was the monster game, iirc.*

*Oh, there was the Saliens in 2018, too, but that was like a one-off.

Did a non-teacher, government official scold you directly? No? Ok, not the same thing then.

New humans cost money, and might not obey their corporate overlords.

It's less of a "dice jail" and more so a "dice oubliette".

ech ,

Haven't tried that one, but I've had a peanut butter stout before. It was pretty good. Tasted like a reeses stout.

ech ,

Sunny D plus vodka is still good. Some friends in college mixed up a water cooler full of Sunny D, vodka, and blue curacao for a st patty's day thing. Was bright green, tasted great, and was quite strong.

This is a good recommendation. I went into the movie thinking it would be silent. Was kind of disappointed that it wasn't, tbh.

ech ,

Oh yeah, I saw this movie. Someone get Aaron Eckhart on the horn.

ech ,

It's a classic. Stupid af "science" but a fun watch. If you like the average disaster movie, you'd like this one, I bet.

*movie

Np!

People had respect for the Fear Factor guy?

Gonna find out real quick that Apple is more important to people than Twitter.

There's gonna be that one academic weirdo in 1000 years who's focus is "Memes and Internet History of the 21st Century".

Oh, I'm sure there are plenty at the moment. It will just fade over time until it enters the same realm as something like "Clay Pots of Ancient Sites Found in The London Underground".

But also that moment when your congestion clears all at once. Ooof, that's a good feeling.

He knows what he did.

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information ( futurism.com )

You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)...

ech ,

It wouldn't be anything specific. The disclaimers would just be overbroad stuff like "Please verify this answer. Google is not responsible for anything. Blah blah blah."

ech ,

I know phantoms suck, but making them a natural spawning end mob would be much worse, imo, not better. At least now they only exist if the player forgets/chooses not to sleep.

ech ,

But how do i test it without thinking about thinking about lemons in the future?

ech ,

Not only are the numbers weird, the games within the series (more than just the main 3) came out as exclusives to a wide variety of platforms. KH has such a bizarre history.

ech , (edited )

You're still rewarding the Epic exclusivity by giving them your money now. They get the bonus cash from Epic and your purchase years later.

ech , (edited )

They don't care. They already got what they wanted.

ech ,

'Thy' means 'Your'.

ech ,

That would make it "Take 'you' money".

The problem is the idea that blockbusters are 100% of what's available. Find a smaller/indie theater in your area, or just find smaller movies online. Theres plenty of creativity out there. We just have to go find it.

ech ,

Same goes for people that respond "just google it" to online questions on social media. It's about the conversation, ya dinks.

I just watched the Slow Mo Guys video on this. Will be looking for Adam's video as well. What an unexpected collab!

ech ,

Thanks!

The only determining force in their lives is to be contrarian. They can't tolerate the "gubmint" telling them something's dangerous. They'll show us how safe it really is, no matter how many people die doing so.

Bird flu jumping to these idiots isn't going to stay contained to them.

That's why inflation has hardly gone up in fifty years! Wait...

Gatekeeps a harmless story

Gets called out on it

"Why are you attacking me?!"

If you don't like the story, just move along. Not everything every written has to be a Pulitzer Prize contender.

and the first thing they tell us is “don’t worry, the data’s fine”, rather than anything about the human.

I do agree it would have been significantly more considerate to mention that the person is ok first, but I feel like you're confusing data storage (ie something they're collecting) with data processing (ie how the device operates). The data in question is the latter. In other words, they are explaining that the problems are being accounted for so that the device can still function in the human it's attached to.

ech ,

Reactions like this are less than useful. These studies aren't discovering climate change is bad, they're investigating its effects and reach, and are the only hope we have to possibly avert, or just lessen, the bleak future ahead of us. Dismissing then with sarcastic comments does a disservice to the people doing this important work.

ech ,

What a terrible fucking idea.

ech ,

I don't think it's hating. More just questioning their own decision to read the article.

Reviews aren't pointless, but their impact only goes so far. I am assuming the massive amount of refunds had more to do with it, tbh.

ech ,

When I was younger, palmpilots and blackberrys were the coolest things to me. Something that was basically a computer you could carry in your pocket? I wanted one so bad! And now basically everyone has something even better. Funny how things change.

and the Dev picks sales on Steam, not the publisher.

Do you happen to have a source for this? It was my understanding that the publisher handled all distribution. Hence the name. And if I'm wrong, I'd like to fix my misunderstanding.

ech ,

This from over a decade ago...

I was already into Community, but this is the episode that really sold the show for me. Really good stuff.

The engineer told him the frunk increases in pressure every single time it closes and detects resistance, Judkins said. It’s going to assume you want to close the frunk and maybe something like a bag is getting in the way, which would make it close harder.

What the fuck kind of idiots are leading things over there? "Something's in the way. Better crush it!" What a bunch of morons putting everyone in danger.

ech ,

Congrats on actually using the word appropriately.

Friendly reminder that Bandcamp puts money directly in the pockets of artists, and on the first Friday of every month (which for May is today), they waive their fees and 100% goes to the artist.
