It’s like a version of a restaurant manager punishing a server to make a customer happy, except imagine the restaurant manager is making 1000x what the server makes and the only reason you had a bad experience is because not enough money went towards purchasing quality ingredients for your meal.

I’m sorry, but why do studios feel the need to reach out to players after fucking over their employees?

Every time I hear about a Twitch streamer it’s because they’re a piece of shit. Stop giving them free publicity by writing about them.

Strictly looking at it from the consumer side, it is better and quite frankly, the way things have been going, from an employment side too if you are comparing one with the other. 

Thank you! We’ll never truly know what she felt at the time or how she feels now. But a paycheck in the competitive entertainment scene is a paycheck in the competitive entertainment scene. You can’t really be picky until Disney is the one signing your checks.

She’s a working actor. She’s not going to bite the hand that feeds her in an interview, and folks shouldn’t expect her to.

On one hand, not great that a damn Tom Cruise movie was necessary in order to get Biden more onboard with AI regulations.

“No, no, you see, no: ack-shyually you’ll be able to use it as tool, just like you would a pencil or a brush or a stick chalk! Now, behold this art I created by saying ‘Hey siri, do a painting of a hot chick with her tits out’. See how huge and juicy the AI made her nips without any input from me - I totally intended…

AI is totally the future of storytelling, you guys.

Welcome to humanity, you new here?

“Convenience” has driven every major paradigm shift throughout civilization as well as the rape and destruction of our planet. Just because the ruling class with the capital no longer wears literal crowns, and slavery hides behind things like tying healthcare to employment, doesn’t…

Fucking amen. That game is filled with time-wasters: little animations that just draw shit but, oh! They looked good - viewing them once. After the first two or three times you see them they just get in the way.

I literally almost quit after the first hour because of how much of a slog it was just doing ANYTHING. 

The DS came out almost 20 years ago.

Videogame design patents are famously known for being a net positive for the industry.
Just look at how well other developers iterated on the Nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor after it was released, and how that created an explosion of creativity centered on player driven reactive systems.

By keeping score, you mean number of killed? Because I don’t think that’s possible to do since all the numbers are reported by Hamas. Or do you just believe the numbers, even after they lied about the hospital?

Imagine if after 9/11 people started gofundme’s for Al Qaeda, ridiculous.

Horrible as the occupation is, it does not and will never justify atrocities against civilians.
