These tools exist - Latitude’s AI suite includes tools designed for traditional writing with productivity and editing functionality handed over to the AI. However, I found that they require so much ‘managing’ of the AI that it ended up being faster to just stick with traditional writing apps.

It sort of already is - there are at least a dozen different commercial products right now for writing ad copy, SEO optimized blog posts, etc. All that drivel and shit that shows up when you try to google a recipe, or a product review, or a release date for that new show you want to watch. I get ads daily for programs…

I’m curious how the publishing world will react to other AI writing tools. At some point last year, I tried one while looking for a new word processing tool. It allowed the author to write the story, but was capable of things like editing your story based on things you changed yourself. For example, if I write a whole…

This kind of hellworld management from regional/corporate is par for the course in every retail/service job I ever had. Gap (the clothing retailer) would regularly schedule two people to process 8000 new inventory items in 4 hours. This isn’t possible btw - this would mean you need to open a box, unpack the contents,…

this stupid fucking boat shouldn’t exist, the wealth of the man who owns it should not exist in the hands of one person, and trickle down economics is fake. 

I think they are trapped by the limitations of their engine. I understand they’ve improved their tools since Destiny 1, but I remember the stories about how something as simple as editing the placement of a boulder in a patrol zone required hours of processing time.

For the price of your PS+ subscription you should definitely try the game out if you want to experience the most finely-polished solo/co-op shooter mechanics on the market in a vast setting full of cool stories and mysteries. Even if you only end up playing through the story content and never touching it again, it’s…

I’ve been a pretty big Destiny player forever. I’m looking forward to most of these changes. But I have to wonder about the accessibility and approachability of one of my favorite games when a list of “big changes” is composed almost entirely of stuff that is utterly meaningless to anyone looking into the game for the…

I think you’re thinking of War Thunder

Yeah, for Modok to really shine you need to fulfill multiple conditions:
- apocalypse in hand
- 1-2 swarm in hand
- have at least 1 lane already in contention, if not outright winning

I think the Sacred Throne location coinciding with MODOK’s release probably saw MODOK overperform for 48 hours, because if you could win…

I’m sitting at CL 2627 - I’ve spent around $40 total on the game since launch, because I’ve certainly got more than a AAA full price title’s worth of game time out of it. I don’t intend to spend anymore, because as fun as the game is, the progression from Series 3 onwards is just awful.

I have played every season since…

I’m having better luck with MODOK + the vampires + lockjaw with the rest of the standard discard engine. Feels more consistent than Hela but still struggles a little bit against stuff like Patriot Surfer’s ability to build up three strong columns.

If you can get a Colleen Wing discard on Swarm, draw Modok and Apocalypse by turn 5 it’s usually enough to win right there. Keep your swarm dupes until you drop Modok, get 12 free power on the board next turn.

I really wanted to enjoy Inquisition but the story is gated behind a bloated world full of bland, uninspired combat. If they want to try to make the next one play like one of the most engaging, satisfying 3rd person action titles in recent memory, I’m not complaining.

In my college days I was rideshare driver and on one occasion had to pick up some C suite folks from the Paul Hastings building - they carried on their conversation in the back seat as if I wasn’t there. They were as reprehensible as I imagine Kotick and anyone in his orbit to be, making vulgar comments about people…

you are not and never will be institutionally marginalized, threatened, or oppressed on the basis of heterosexual orientation

There are chains whose entire business model relies on intentionally understaffing.

Someone should probably talk about how these shithead retail stores intentionally understaff their storefronts knowing full well it dramatically increases the chance of theft and makes employees less safe, but they get to save on payroll and benefits, collect an insurance claim, AND shriek at their local Chamber…

Okay, so if someone can afford to spend more money than most people make in a year on bonus features to weaponize their monument to vehicular manslaughter, we’re allowed to laugh at them online until the end of time. 

Okay, now, in addition to all that: why is it mine-resistant and weaponized
