I can still remember many Christmases ago trying to buy No Man’s Sky for PS4. A used copy was $50. A brand new copy online was $12, though? Weird. So instead of ordering it I saw it was in inventory literally down the street. I hopped int he car, pulled up, went inside, grabbed the one and only new copy, went to the…

A labor camp would help.

I like that the headline points the finger at fans for not enjoying it and not Konami for coming up with the least appealing way you could possibly convey a story and then going all in on it.

That’s pretty much the supposed use case of technology. That tech would alleviate humanity from the most mundane tasks, leaving significant time for upskilling.

Though this only works if people did not have to worry about the bare necessities.  

We should be using AI to do unfulfilling labor and let humans continue to create fulfilling art.

One of our goals as humans is to not work. I believe that is part of most Utopia’s.

Beautiful, but it ain't happening. Corporations will use it to maximize profits, jobs will be cut, as usual, individuals will suffer.

A corporation literally only exists to make money. Nobody is putting money in their 401k and selecting the “don’t grow too much so you leave some money on the table for other people” fund. If you want companies to do things that benefit the collective good over their own self-interest you should be looking to…

unless your pursuit is making art and making a living, in which case, screw you.

Slightly off topic, but something I wished I started asking thirty- forty years ago; HOW do companies that keep wiping out their work forces, whether through automation, or ai, or simply moving all their jobs to countries that love child labour, expect people to be able to PAY for their products and services?

We should be moving toward a future where humans can rely on AI for most labor so they’re free to pursue their own goals instead of grinding just to survive. Businesses should embrace AI. And businesses embracing AI should be taxed HEAVILY for it, and that tax should go into a universal income. AI shouldn’t be a way…

What. The hell. Even is this?!

So Cawthon donated a sizable sum of the game proceeds to Trump’s 2016 run - I wonder what percentage of every ticket sale is ending up in the coffers for that asshole’s 2024 run?

ROCK LOBSTA

The idea a serial killer hid bodies in animatronics is great in theory but someone needed to remind the writer DEAD BODIES REALLY STINK.

Disney execs supposedly think The Haunted Mansion could be the next Pirates of the Caribbean, hence a typical summer blockbuster release. Plus it landed on Disney+ in time for Halloween weekend.

The weird thing is that Disney’s Haunted Mansion movie was scarier than FNAF.

Did you SEE that Rock Lobster CGI?

My mom, aunt, and grandmother have been telling this story for as long as I can remember.

In early 2022, my father-in-law passed away. And although he was a 20-year stroke survivor, it cost us all off-guard.
