So all Gen X music was garbage compared to boomer music? That’s... that’s certainly quite the claim. 

That same “vetting” is why film media was dominated by straight, white males. I’m in no hurry to return to those days.

How the hell could anyone 40 years ago be caught looking at deepfake porn? It didn’t exist. Also, look up Jimmy Saville - beloved entertainer, sexual predator. Pretending this is something new is looking back with rose-tinted glasses.

Aren’t you performing the same sort of muddying of the waters in reverse by saying that “algorithmic software is absolutely not AI”?

I mean, all AI techniques are algorithmic, so I’m not sure exactly what you mean.

This. 100% this. I recognize that it is my own foible and more than a bit ridiculous. Regardless, I cannot get over that fucking name.

They... didn’t prefer CP over Dead Space. They said both were plagued with dull, repetitive boss fights, but at least CP looks good. Seems fairly uncontroversial.

I’m 6'7" and have been “morbidly obese” since I was 250lbs playing college basketball. Fuck BMI and every single medical practitioner who wants to pretend it has any meaning whatsoever.

Oh okay, so your take away from this is that you are in a position to advise a woman who has only recently divorced from an abusive partner.

You are a deeply shitty person.

You know, it kinda flies in the face of your arguing from a position of superior knowledge when you use words like “assume.” Algorithms can’t make assumptions. They can and do weigh certain inputs more heavily based on similarities in training data and positive feedback during the training loop.

It’s not open-source tech, at least not in any meaningful way.

Just in case you feel like you’re going nuts just because you’re the one in the comments ranting and screaming about corporations and exploitation and the literal death of the author: +1.

I can’t tell if people can’t see how much of the corporatocracy’s work they’re doing for the companies or if they just don’t care.

The sequel so relentlessly mediocre that its mere mention is enough to make the average reader reinstall the original.

Thank god. I love that show, but fuck that episode.

I hope my earlier comment didn’t come across as disagreeing with yours. I was just a massive fan of Wright and hadn't heard about her recent vaxx stuff.

I did NOT crawl out from under my rock to find out that Letitia Wright is one of those.

I have to disagree - only about Odyssey. You’re exactly right about the other 3d games (Sunshine feels like it should be left out, but the letdown there was Mario’s moveset, not so much the challenge structure).

I tend not to stick to games unless they’re challenging in some way. Rather than letting this drastically…

Exactly! It felt like I was given a reward on a timer, no matter how little effort any given reward required.

Literally have no idea why I wrote “every,” I very much meant “most.”

YESSS, I agree! I feel for the developers, because what example in-series do they have? The Adventure games mostly hold up as campy fun, and the rest of the 3d entries are awful.

I think you’re onto something in your last paragraph: straightforward levels with branching paths that end in different beats. The joy isn’t…
