Makes you wonder what they’re going to do with all this hardware they’re buying? I hope that they (the ultra rich) are the ones to hold the bag for once in their lives.

Just kidding, they’ll probably get a bailout from our (US) corrupt government.

It works really well through wine. It’s a little setup but it isn’t too bad imo.

Thankfully there are still some games that have custom server support, but they’re mostly in the open source space.

I really agree that, with the way gaming has gone, custom servers are going to be a necessity. The only problem is that people generally like the consistency and usability of match-making services which would also need to be open sourced, but I think there are probably clever ways to design around this (for example, servers belong to tags and users have to opt-in and opt-out of tags, and game master server lists are responsible for administering these tags.)

Nice, might like to check it out myself now.

I couldn’t believe how many people bought that Harry Potter game that came out like 2 years ago. Not only was the game shitty looking ubishlock, but also we’ve known for years just how f***ed up jk rowling is as a person.

Having said that, as I child I remember protesting against the school trying to encourage me to buy Harry Potter at the school book faire. I get now that they were only trying to encourage me to read by suggesting a popular book, but I really didn’t like the cult-like obsession around this book even as a kid, so I’ve had bad vibes around the book series since the very-late 90s lol.

Whoa is that true?

Also, I feel like I completely blocked this commercial out of memory until recently. I think I somehow glossed over just how strange the vibes of that commercial were because I feel like I would have remembered it more lmao.

Jeans, yes definitely. The material is pretty thick and it’s a good way to ensure it’s clean. Also, it prevents the metal parts from bashing the inside of the washing machine.

I’m not actually positive it’s better for cleaning, but it’s just how my mother taught me how to do laundry when I was a child. :)

How have people felt about this show, long term?

I’ve been putting off watching it because I’m super into the old show and not sure this can live up – but maybe I’m willing to give it a shot as the old show definitely had it’s fair share of problems compared to the original manga release.

Lovely. Looks great!

but the color selection in my pack was a bit odd.

Yeah, it’s a bit like this sometimes. One good thing about packs though is that you know that the colors mix well together. The only thing to watch out for are packs that are designed specifically for scene painting as they tend to veer a little too much into the greens (which makes sense, as accuracy in that area for painting is really important.)

You should also look into steam input, where most games can have gryo remapped to joystick like inputs. I’ve done this in Ring Racers but I don’t personally use this feature so Im not sure how adequate it is.

“I don’t like crack myself, so I get community concerns around it” – said the local crack dealer, when reached out for comment on the story. “I only profit around the stuff, I wouldn’t want it myself.”

6 year old is a bit of a tough territory here for anime recommendations, stuff like Rumiko Takahashi works (Ranma 1/2 and Inuyasha) almost seem like they’d be fine but they probably tackle slightly too mature subject matter and would be better in early teens age.

This is a bit of an old school recommendation, but you might enjoy checking out the original Astroboy, old Tatsunoko shows and stuff like that. The older anime tends to skew a little less “mature”. However, sensibilities of what is ok for kids in America vs Japan always makes this difficult. For example, Detective Conan is a great kids anime by Japanese standards, but talking about murders and kidnappings might be a little much by American standards. So YMMV.

Obviously Pokemon is a good suggestion here. The original Digimon Movies are also pretty good and are done by a great director (Mamoru Hosoda) so you might like to check it out.

This feels like a way for them to say fuck generative AI, but also, hey investors, don’t pull out we can find something else to do with it I guess…

Ultimately, if you’re a publicly traded company, the calls to “use AI and use it now” are too strong for tech companies to completely ignore, so it’s at least good that they’re drawing a line from an ethical and artistic standpoint. Once the bubble pops, they can probably take a “I told you so” victory lap.

“Surprise!”

Eat shit DJT

This is the part of this that is such a political faux pas. Japan does not consider Pearl Harbor a surprise attack, and their nationalist movement right now probably won’t be happy to have their favorite PM be the whipping boy of the US president. I won’t say Japan is right on this, but it’s just the difference in how this story is presented.

Good riddance, hopefully this creates an awful situation for her politically at home as she is pushed leftward or rightward in retaliation.

Well, I mean, good. Because the old policy fucking sucked for artists.

Better than a trebuchet to the mouth.

That is interesting, I’ll make a note of it.

but that kind of separate intranet system is difficult to search the way the Internet is.

Yes, but node operators would probably be best encouraged to run simple indexer searches, especially in a system where agreements could be made about how hard-hitting said searches should be (and a mutual respect for robots.txt and the like). I’ll be honest and say that the Internet has been barely searchable for at least half a decade, if not a whole decade if I were critical.

I had to stop using them as much. I used to like using them but now the AI alarms are too high.

Now I write like a maniac, go reflect my souls better. Also, I’m making more friends with the semicolon.

This has been one of the craziest stories in gaming in a long while.

So does this mean that the old Unknown Worlds founders are back in as well?
