You’re mostly right.  There’s a certain statistical outlier that comes from having some experience driving in winter conditions, but yes, it mostly comes down to proper maintenance and equipment.

I hear good vodka works just as well as terrible vodka.

Every true Scots... ahem... Canadian, knows how to properly scrape a windshield.  :P

Haha, oh yeah, I definitely keep my car in the garage whenever I can. That doesn’t mean I’ll never have to scrape ice off a windshield or have to know how.

Seriously?  This isn’t common knowledge?  Come on up to Canada, apparently you guys all need to be taught how to winter.

Wait... is nobody going to point out the irony of claiming that Clue is taking inspiration from Glass Onion? A movie that takes ample opportunity to specifically call it out as a terrible game (which it is)?

Kindof speaks to the state of the industry that the vast majority of the games on this list are over a decade old...

I feel like Kotaku never really gave it a fair shake. Bunch of hipsters want to be able to role their eyes at crude humour so they can seem too cool for school by talking about how annoying it is. It’s actually pretty funny and a pretty good game. I find myself agreeing with Kotaku less and less these days. Been…

Yeah, I’m enjoying it.  It’s very pretty (at least on a good PC setup), plays well, level design is fun and the talking guns and other characters can be pretty funny.  Also you can watch the entirety of a few different B movies, if that’s your bag.  Not sure I personally would pay full price for it, but it’s a nice…

In terms of the plot, or in terms of the article? I mean, as a plot point, yeah, it’s pretty predictable, but still, would have been nice not to have it spoiled by an article that was ostensibly about something entirely different.

Nice spoiler there in the tweet in the middle of the story. Thanks for that.

Remember when all the hand-wringing was about games that let you play as criminals?

Don’t worry, I had two university degrees and was starting my career when Born This Way released.  If you’re old, I’m positively ancient.

Why not both?

I want to be cautiously optimistic that his presence will be enough to turn Blizzard back into the company I once loved in the 90's and 00's. I still have my original Warcraft II instruction manual, primarily because I love the awesome illustrations it came with back in the day, which bear his signature at the…

I actually totally agree with you. Despite our argument elsewhere in the comments section, this is why I was saying artists should be concerned. Yes, I believe AI Art in it’s current state is the problem, but it’s a problem that is going to have to be addressed legislatively to ensure that creatives can retain some…

Other than your first sentence, you’re absolutely right.

I don’t see the need for the derisive sarcasm. You are correct without the sarcasm. “Technology” is not a monolith. There is good and bad technology. That which has the capacity to help and that which has the capacity to hinder. I see this as the latter.

No, technology is not a threat to real creativity. You’ve crafted a lovely straw-man argument here, but that’s not what I said at all.

The issue is that AI art does not “create art” so much as smashes together the work of a bunch of human artists. This isn’t creativity, but it runs the risk of actually stymieing creativity by making it easier to not pay creatives for their input into the economy.
