I don’t think I’ll ever understand why games like this are so successful lol. I guess it’s just the dopamine hits without the microtransactions? It’s not a “game”, though, not in a theoretical sense. More like busy work simulator.

While it may seem to be a smart money move, it can result in a costly productivity and innovation lag for the economy.

For the love of god! Won’t somebody think of the economy?!

Because they know the “party of anti-regulation/anti-nannie state” will never trust people to take care of themselves and someone will be forced to do it. They acknowledge either they will have to do a bunch of work and be liable when it fails, or some middle man will. So they choose the middle man.

“I hope that everyone sees, regardless of their specific reason, that the enemy is outside of the house. The people posing as Americans with big American opinions but are actually operating from a basement across the world have one common goal - to destroy the United States. We have our issues, but we really can’t allow them to succeed.”

Elon:

“Yeah, we’re just gonna turn that feature right back off here for a second…nothing to see, don’t worry about it.”

You forgot the Console Wars.

Smaller makes it more expensive. I hope it’ll be under $1000, but I think I wouldn’t be surprised if it were $1200.

What is happening, what is it you think I said? Why did you come back a day later and make a second irrelevant comment?

New track? Nice! Thanks for the heads up.

Historically, the only thing we’ve found that lowers wealth inequality is inevitably large scale war and death. And i don’t expect that to change before the next time it lowers.

I’ve been with my partner for 16 years. We met one of my friends for brunch last year, and afterwards he and I hung out, while my partner went home. Before she left, my friend said, “it was so good to see you <her name>” and hugged her. Then she turned to me and I said, “bye bitch, see ya at the house”. We laughed and she took off. My friend was like, “dude, I can’t believe you said that and she was cool with it. My gf would be pissed at me for days!”

So yeah, I got a good one :)

Why not 2012?

For Kony.

You forgot the best part: PT is not professional, but Chiropraction and Theology are.

If they were required to leave all meta platforms, then what would the experiment show? It sounds like the intention was to see where people shifted their time when they stopped using one meta product. If FB users primarily went to IG and vice versa, then it would indicate they held a monopoly. But it sounds like IG users primarily switched to TikTok and YouTube, not FB, indicating they are different products from each other and have different competition.

Apple tried to create their own system for years but finally gave up recently and moved to Intel and Microsoft.

That person can’t be real…

How does one even accidentally steal a texture someone else made?

The fact that you’re asking this is almost like…maybe you don’t know what you’re talking about? And should defer to an actual creative who does?

First off, it is a famously non trivial problem to compare every texture to every piece of art on the internet. It is trivial to add a bit of impercievable noise to deliberately foil even the best reverse image searching methods.

I think you may be taking for granted the number of artists and the level of autonomy they are given over their craft for a project of this complexity.

It’s actually more weird to me that you don’t understand why this is easy for a single dev to get away with. This is what happens when a studio trusts its artists to create something. No one is excusing it, but stop acting like Bungie did it on purpose. There’s no evidence of that. The only thing they’re guilty of is making a mediocre extraction shooter.

No, we think it’s great, keep going.

If sufficiently advanced malware can break out of a VM, then it’s only a matter of time before an AI breaks out of a measly container 🍿

Roblox is making absolute bank. They have the resources to actually solve this if they wanted. They just believe the inevitable slap on the wrist will cost them less than they stand to make in the meantime.

Or even a welcome to the jam.

Ouch, a strongly worded letter, let’s see if they are prepared to deal with that!
