I may or may not be any number of unfathomable beings.
Account migration from @[email protected] after learning the admins of that instance are wankers.
I use my local library from my phone with the Libby app. I don’t know if this benefits them as much as going there in person does. I did go there to get a library card though, you need one to sign up in the app.
But they have a great catalog of ebooks that I can borrow from, I’ve read the bulk of The Dresden Files that way recently and I’m about to finish it if the last two books ever come off reservation.
On machines that were actually strong enough to run it, it was mostly fine. I played on PC and while I admit the later balancing update was probably necessary, I didn’t run into most of the real nasty bugs people liked to talk about. I had a great time putting in 100 or so hours in version 1.
A solid 80% or more of all the problems Cyberpunk had at launch stemmed from trying to launch it on last-gen consoles. It absolutely was not intended for PS4 or XB1 and targeting those platforms was a mistake. Once they pulled availability for those and buckled down on getting it prettied up for next gen, the quality jumped by a mile within the next year and a half of updates.
The launch was rough, I grant you that, and maybe I’m just simping for CDPR but even at the time I was in the vocal minority saying, hey this game really isn’t that bad if you give it a chance and run it on hardware that it was intended for.
And of course now with its updates and DLC it’s just genuinely a great game.
Yeah Facebook isn’t anonymous at all and is full of more trolls, liars, bad faith actors, and corpos than anywhere else.
I don’t know about the rest of them, but Ben Franklin sure envisioned some orgies. Attended a few of 'em too.
Just because EA claims something is an expansion on the box, does not make it true.
You could ask the same thing of Wizards of the Coast who sent goons to a guy’s house over some Magic The Gathering cards.
We live in an age where these two things are becoming interchangeable.
You’ve retained your honor this day.

Not Brinstar theme
I’m going to need to repossess that username
The Tristram theme still unlocks some long-buried neuron activation for me and I haven’t played Diablo 1 in probably 20 years. But that and Griswold’s “What can I do fer ya?” are baked into my memory permanently.
If it’s almost certainly coming anyway then you may as well throw them a bone first
And if it isn’t coming anyway, then you’ve done a little bit to screw up the plans of impending worldwide fascist domination
I’d call that a win-win
And the price of groceries will skyrocket 3x and everyone will say “I can’t believe Biden could do this to me”
Well they’re making plenty more of that to go around
Really, it was a nice idea but failed when subject to bad actors.
God, if that isn’t just the story of our fuckin’ lives…
You’re giving them money and engagement with which to continue. Having your eyes on that content and then returning the next day to see more is explicit approval of that content. And having those ads served to you makes Elon money which he then uses to serve more ads to everyone.
Essentially, visiting X is paying Elon real dollars directly and telling him thank you for the propaganda, may I please have another
There is absolutely no situation in which I would be okay with one of these people being in a leadership position. They’ve proven that they can’t be bothered to do the basic citizen’s duty of caring about politics enough to cast a vote at all, and you want to put them in charge of operating the government? No.
Foreign money in US elections used to be illegal. A law that isn’t getting enforced isn’t a real law.
Tell that to the power vacuum left behind after…
You say : the type is dynamic We hear : the type is imaginary
Genuinely curious how long you could continue getting people to sink advertising dollars into the bot playground. If he played it smart I bet he could get a solid decade or so of people paying to show ads to AIs without telling them all the people are gone. Maybe longer, if he’s really smart and actually tells them for real that there’s no people in there but that their marketing materials will be incorporated into the AI in/output.
Man, I managed to completely forget about that. My dad was really, really into that game. Like, that’s about all he did for most of 4 years and ended up leaving my mom for someone he met in game.
I guess SL wasn’t really any worse about that than any other game, plenty of people meet and get married in MMOs, but I think the raging custom-content sex parties in SL probably didn’t help matters at the time.
Wonder how that game is doing these days. Cursory web search says it’s still alive. I probably would have found it to be pretty interesting if I wasn’t so turned away from it by my family experience.
