Well are you selling along the way? Because if you’re just holding until it crashes, your sentiments will reverse very quickly.

Yeah, while I didn’t get into all the extra stuff, I was (and still am) a huge fan of the original FF7. I even enjoyed Dirge, while acknowledging all of its new characters were horrible. I also played KH 1 and 2, as well as whichever one was a horrible GBA game with limited cards to use as attacks, but hadn’t dug into…

Oh man, I loved Folklore, that game was great. The art style was so vibrant and unique. I still remember twisting the controller around like a madman to pull ghosts out of monsters.

You yourself mention how generic it is, it’s far more likely they happened to have the same title at first than they went onto competitor’s sites, found a generic title and copied it only to later change it. Your very premise seems really dumb.

The problem with a lot of current AI is that it’s generally fed a ton of data to train on, which means it’s highly susceptible to the selection of that data, which is generally done by people, who can be be racist by action or omission.

Even as a kid growing up in the middle of nowhere, COPS seemed pretty gross. The glorification of police officers who seemed either robotic or only capable of negative emotions, and making civilians look like monsters or freaks - it was a particularly grim sideshow, post-apocalyptic in tone but current in setting. As…

I agree with the point that a charismatic leader can obscure some shady stuff. But your making this argument now is problematic for several reasons.

Gingrich is also responsible for much of the current animosity between the political parties and the Republicans’ childish, insulting behavior for decades, behaved horribly to his own family, got booted out for multiple ethics violations, and is in general an opportunistic, manipulative, evil liar.

Well, Twitter is social media. Consider what you pay for social media. You’re not the customer, that’s the advertisers social media sells data to; you’re the product. Technically, as long as Twitter doesn’t have Iranian advertisers among its customers, it’s not providing goods and services to Iran, it’s just using Iran…

My main problem isn’t THAT they were discussing religion, it’s HOW. AI is created by people, people have gods, so the AI wants to find the gods by murdering all, or at least nearly all, people? That’s just stupid, and makes all their subsequent discussions taking it seriously glaringly annoying.

Yeah, I’ve seen her in several other things, and she always comes off as though she thinks acting is just modelling with some talking, that confidence in her sexual attractiveness is the only emotion she needs to portray. Every other attempt she makes at emotion is blatantly phoned in and distractingly lazy. She may st…

I recently started watching the show for the first time, and after a few episodes was really enjoying it, but then they started with the “AI searching for God” stuff, and it really detracts from the rest of it, at least to me. Does this continue for the entire run of the series (in which case I really don’t want to…

Yeah, so many seem to think free speech means freedom from the consequences they don’t like (that they can loudly say any stupid thing but no one’s allowed to react to it) but also that it only applies to them (that while they are allowed to say anything they want, criticism of what they said somehow doesn’t share the…

Also, he’s doing that thing, that Trump thing, of accusing someone else of being what he is; he, a venture capitalist called an activist “elite”. I don’t know if there’s a term for doing that, or if there isn’t, what it should be called. It’s worse than hypocrisy, it’s worse than projecting, because there’s an element…

I’ve been a massive Street Fighter (and fighting games in general) fan - I even paid real money for Capcom Fighting Evolution (just the laziest game ever) - but I am really looking forward to V being done. It was unimpressive from day one, and I’m not one of those people that cared about it not having an arcade mode: t…

To reduce the complexities of a suicidal person’s mental state to “she was dumb” says a lot of really bad things about you. It suggests a much lower level of intelligence, morality, and compassion in you than was shown by her.

Because most games are made in 3D, and it is technically impossible to accurately recreate a 3D image from a 2D one. The concept art is a 2D image strategically composed to elicit the maximum reaction from that image alone. While the idea is to cause you to imagine a world with tremendous, dynamic possibility, it…

Well from what I can tell that was the primary reason Rose was hired in the first place. I’ve seen a lot of her work, and I haven’t ever seen anything that could be called remarkable acting. This show has been middling at best for me, and that’s largely due to her wooden presence. I wonder if it’s too late for acting…

In retrospect, I think this is why they played up Barney’s douchbaggery to such ridiculous levels - to make Ted look normal in contrast. They needed to have a cartoon manchild be an extreme sexual clown to make Ted’s dating behavior not seem as bad, which in isolation looks rather sketchy.

None of them. She is great, but the character barely exists. She’s just there to keep Ted from moving away, give him the kids Robin didn’t want, then die off so Ted is free to fall back into a bad relationship he can’t be convinced is a bad idea.
