As an Alabamian, let me say this: The next time the south tries to leave.. LET THEM GO. I will *gladly* move north; hell, I already would have if not for being responsible for the care of two elderly family members.

Collage (/kəˈlɑːʒ/, from the French: coller, “to glue” or “to stick together”;^[1]) is a technique of art creation, primarily used in the visual arts, but in music too, by which art results from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. (Compare with pastiche, which is a “pasting” together.)

Just do what I plan to: take it for what it is, a new show. This isn’t “Scooby Do”. By virtue of who the characters are, it can’t be. It’s an original series cosplaying as an existing one. It should be judged as such.

A lot of terminally online people immediately label any woman under 5’5” and with smaller than a B cup bra size a child.

I agree IF, and only if, the AI in use is trained on artwork either created by the person using it, or informed, opt-in volunteers. That’s not how most of them work. Most datasets are trained from art scraped all around the internet.

Not to mention that Sony *constantly* pays companies not to release games on Xbox. If they could cut MS off from the entire Japanese game industry, they would in a heartbeat. 

Are we sure the game isn’t going to be F2P?

Ultimately, should we not blow ourselves up, we’ll hit the Star Trek economy: everything basic is taken care of, freeing people to do things because they want to. And it’ll drive up the value of human creativity.

I wonder how long before hackers manage to come up with cracks for cars.

Those are industries they think that they understand (the kickbacks from). But vidya games are scary to old men. 

And that’s the choice they made. Like any work of entertainment, if you don’t agree with their choices, don’t buy it.

If that happens and everybody is still the same, then the outrage will be totally justified.

In reality they did because people migrate; by choice or otherwise. They seem to be implying that this place is (possibly deliberately) cut off from the outside world. Thus, no migration. You can’t develop a diverse population if there’s no way for other people to move into it.

Way back when it was first a thing and they let you convert gold to pass for $1, I maxed out gold and switched. Ever since, I’ve been buying three month passes with reward points. I expected that , eventually, I’d have to actually buy it but unless they jack it up spectacularly, I’ll probably be okay with it. 

Unlock all the biomes, get Pumpkin seeds, plant and harvest pumpkins with a lvl 10 farming buddy. You can turn 150 seeds into 2-300,000 coins each harvest. Doing that a few times will let you max out every property in the game. 

It was the worst churn accident I ever seen..

And it’s inconsistent; I use Tracfone and it worked fine. 

The savings really come from replacement. Back when we used incandescent bulbs, we’d replace them once every couple of months. LEDs are once every few years.

4,500 veggies can be done in days, easy. The way I farm, I plant 50 of each crop. There’s six biomes with three unique crops in each. That’s 900 crops per planting, and they yield more than one per plant each harvest.
