It would be sad in the same way THQ dying was sad, just for the unknowns of where the IPs, studios and employees end up- but also really funny and very fitting.

It always sounded awful. But I don’t even think it’s that, because as far as I’m concerned, if god is anything besides made up, there’s no way it doesn’t just slowly consume souls of the dead.

Easy food, just subsist off the faithful and keep the train going for thousands of years with infighting and a strong drive to proselytize non-believers. Some kind of cosmic horror shit or something, gotta be.

Edit: But to be clear, I’m not trying to imply anyone following this or other religions is wrong or anything, or that I actually believe this (I’m in the “it’s made up” camp), I just think cosmic horror is neat and love overthinking :3

At least they admitted it. That said, I’ll never fuck with anything ‘vibe coded’, AI sucks.

That the Republicans are actively dismantling the infrastructure and extorting the funding for science and driving a brain drain to other nations means I agree with the other person.

I don’t like him, he’s too much of an opportunist. When you’re willing to throw lgbt people under the bus, as he’s done many times, you’re willing to throw others under the bus too when it suits you. So I would personally caution about voting for someone based on small aspects of their character instead of the whole (people throught Trump was funny in 2016, and now we’re here).

If Newsom ends up winning the primary, I’ll obviously vote for him. There’s no other fucking choices. But I have little confidence given his record. I only know that he’d run things less poorly than the fascists, but that bar is as low as it gets.

My instance Blahaj has downvotes disabled, so I just ignore/block things I don’t like and upvote what I do. I like that better honestly.

I feel like part of it is just, how our lawmakers are huge self-serving conniving assholes. Nothing else to it. They don’t want to spend the money, they don’t want it to be easier for us to get around (for instance, imagine a pregnant woman taking a train out of shithole-Texas to a blue state with real doctors. Control.)

I got Boost once they released the Lemmy version, and then I got one single PragerU ad. That pissed me off, a lot, those shitheads are my enemies. I basically coin-flipped between picking a different app that wouldn’t give ad space to those pricks, and just buying the ad-free thing, but laziness prevailed and I bought the thing instead. Still on Boost to this day.

Fuck advertising, the entire advertising industry, and the plain concept of forcing your brand in front of a person’s eyes non-consentually, should all disappear in the future.

I hadn’t read for fun for like a decade and a half. But in the last few months, I got myself hooked on yuri manga, and then yuri light novels. I kept hitting a wall whenever a manga wasn’t done yet but the light novels were. I just kept saying “fuck it” and finishing with the novel, rather than waiting forever for the rest.

It happened with Otherside Picnic, it happened with I’m in Love with the Villainess, and a couple of others. Then I started just buying more ebooks, standalone stories without manga adaptations, for the fuck of it. Reading is great.

This particular movie, Nausicaa, also shows the fungal forests and the giant insects within are

It’s actually a very good source material to use as a backdrop here.

Fuck this world, man… I’m so sorry you’re being put through this nightmare and I wish you only peace, if nothing else can be done. Hell is too good a place for the demons scuttling through DC.

These statements don’t seem mutually exclusive.

This happened to me before. They unbanned and rebanned me like twice, the IT guy emailing back was very sure I was using “scripts” of some kind that were harming the website, somehow. Ultimately I just stopped visiting KYM.

There’s always too many people when you ask a person like this about the population, but never enough people when you ask the same person the same question but include skin color in the question. F everyone who whines about population.

Scumbag CEO.

I’ll never get over the horrible way Bethesda handled Prey 2. Bought it up, strung the devs at human head studios along towards bankruptcy in a hostile takeover bid, then shut it all down, gave the trademark to arkane’s system/bio shock spiritual successor, and basically erased the old game by virtue of it not being able to be sold any more.

I wanted the stupid alien bounty hunter fps, I didn’t want 50+ hours of stupid black goo aliens pretending to be tea cups. I’m biased and salty, I know prey 2017 is a fine game, but I don’t really care.

The end-times death cult doesn’t want any medical breakthroughs at all. But fuck em. Everywhere without these freaks should keep up the good research unabashed.

AI article maybe? It’s rambly and doesn’t really have a point to make.

I played the beta weekend, I liked it. I want to play it again once it’s out in June, although there were annoying parts. The sun gives you heat stroke or something as a status meter, and it makes you dehydrate faster until you get to shade. With how often you’re out doing stuff in the sun, it was kind of annoying, because I just had to keep going on blood harvesting trips through NPC camps, to proccess it at my base to keep my water stocked. But in the full game with better tech unlocked, I’m sure it ends up being fine.

A lot of people also got pissed at the sandworm because if you get eaten, all your stuff is destroyed with no way to recover it (unlike a normal death where you can loot your corpse), and sometimes it can feel abrupt when they breach. That said, I never got eaten ny the sandworm in my ~15 hours of play during the beta.

Worse isn’t really the appropriate word. It’s more dated mechanically than Skyrim, but it also has some interesting game mechanics to that ended up cut from Skyrim, like spellcrafting. In terms of story, it’s got one of the most interesting DLCs the series has had to date, Shivering Isles, and a lot of other decent questlines in the base game and other DLC areas. Worst parts of the remaster are probably just poor optimization for UE5, so it can often run like crap on PC, and of course, all the existing design issues and bugs that Oblivion already had from its original iteration, because the original engine and game logic is still all there and what was principally changed was the UI, the graphics renderer, and some quality of life stuff here and there.
