nothing better than when a player describes something in the game that is literally impossible. "they're lying!" you think but they seem sincere.

and you go review the footage of the event and see they've so profoundly misunderstood what happened that they've invented a new reality. chef's kiss.

Messy sketch of a figure standing in front of two electrical towers as a beam of electricity shoots between them. To the right are several eel-like figures, one of which seems to also have the ability to conduct current. It’s a good game design.

no, it simply isnt.
People are talking about capital using gAI as an excuse to conduct mass lay-offs, about students losing learning because theyre being lied to about gAI in education, about the mass theft of the work of artists and authors to train LLMs, about CSAM and nonconsensual sexual images.

I’m trying to think of anyone notable from my school and coming up seriously blank. I know the town had a rugby player everyone was proud of but I don’t think he went to my school

This Highguard stuff sucks and the expectations on modern shooter games makes me sick.

The only "live service" a shooter game has ever needed is something called a "multiplayer map pack" and the only way to get it is by flagging down a guy at walmart with special keys to open a big glass case.

Man I'm so goddamn sick of ai. "Wahhh you can't have a reasonable conversation about ai on here," yeah maybe be mad about the two year parade of scam artists and financial charlatans and environmental ruiners who have radicalized everyone against the spell check that agrees with you

β€œJeffrey Epstein is the reason we have microtransactions in video games”

Can we stop saying this meme? It simply isn't true... at all.

And it makes him sound like some super genius pulling the strings from afar vs some guy who raped and killed children and helped others do the same.
