Not to throw shade but Steam Next involved a builder game invoking "zen" as a concept and idk, might be a good game, but from the visuals it was all just building concrete deserts?! If "cozy" means anything as long as *someone* grew up with it and associates it with "home" then we're wide open.

Their tech to penetrate bunkers involves literally bombing the *exact* hole the first missile leave with further missiles - if necessary dozens all the way down. That's how precise they can be if they want to.

Half their marketing so far has been "We're neither Sam Altman nor Elon Musk, therefore we are totally ethical and the good people." Incredible pickup to be able to add Trump to that.

If they get blacklisted by Kalshi then fuck it, let them burn down human civilization, they've earned it.

Explains why they don't allow AI written posts - it reveals how they actually long for sincere human interaction. And a lot of individual stories sound like they fell for "AI companionship" because they lack that positive human interaction, not because they see talking to AI as superior to it or so.

ah ok the UI is weird, I thought the button said "off" for easy, so I assumed that was hard already, lol.

Seems a bit sycophantic when I'm like "oh damn, I can't believe I was this far off, this is pretty hard" and the game is like "nice job, almost perfect, off by just one pixel" lol

It also leads to this odd mismatch when you do need help:

"Oh no big deal, I just contributed like 5%, a small thank you is enough, this was still your project overall."

vs

"The whole thing literally would not work without those 5%, otherwise I'd have done so, I am in your life debt forever."

I can also imagine everyone changing their stuff until last second - even though an earlier lock-in would help colleagues do their downstream work - because employment terms are shit and if you don't present yourself as essential every day, you're laid off quickly?

Invoking heterophily to justify associating with an industrial child abuser is such an egregious misuse of the concpept, as someone who has studied social networks as well I'd be tempted to say he should keep those words out of his mouth, but he's an expert so he knows, which is so much worse.

Especially since Kalshi's predictions come from insider bets providing information that's highly relevant but otherwise not available.

No such information there for elections (I hope) so it's just general public gambling data, probably not even a large sample (since most of that is still sports).

UCL and their broadcasters are pretty hardcore when it comes to DRM and taking down stuff, so unfortunately I've only found video clips on the *other* site so far but searching for the goalie's name, Trubin, might bring stuff up.

Until then, their sideline was all calm thinking they got what they needed. Suddenly they all jumped up in panic trying to tell their team they are, in fact, out of the playoffs if they don't score one more. Led by one of the most accomplished and veteran coaches in the sports...

Lisbon was beating Real Madrid of all teams, but to stay in the competition, they needed one more goal. Except they didn't know for whatever reason. They only figured it out before the final attack in the game. So their goalie rushes to aid in a final corner kick and he scores with a header.

Watch some european football while the American one is on a break and enjoy insanity and a coaching near-blunder that would make McVay look like a challenge mastermind

ESPN attempting to bait people into betting by making them think "wow they're stupid, I know better" maybe? Might be reaching a bit but imho that's the kind of suspicion they deserve for blurring the lines and creating their own conflict of interest.

Ok but you can't deny that this double slip play was a systems-driven emergent work of art.

To me this seems to be a significant difference to the Nazis. When the Nazis eventually took power, they did so with wide localized support, starting from strongholds such as Bavaria and leaving opposition bastions to be brutalized last, succeeding where Ludendorff's coup failed.

My objection that it was neither a catch nor an interception but a hand-punt was somehow not spectacular enough to receive any meaningful attention from my co-watchers...

my favorite game on facebook (the only thing I do with it now) is - correctly - marking everything as "does not interest me." Every week I get obscure local pages from another country. One day it thinks I'm Irish, then Ugandan, then Malaysian. I can basically hear the algo screaming into the void.

Haven't you heard? This was unimaginable for the US to do until its politics got "Putinized." Silly foreign influence corrupting an innocent nation which had a massive expedition warfare engine capable of abducting heads of state from their bedroom just sitting around for self-defense previously.

"Munich isn't really Bavarian" is a much more common sentiment in Bavaria than "Berlin isn't really German" is in Germany as a whole, fwiw.

And finally, I think for Americans it's easy to forget the dimensions. We're not talking about that big of an area. Leipzig is just over 200 miles from Cologne. That's closer than Venice from Rome. Not much further than from NYC to Washington D.C.

Not a lot to cover with a whole millennium of time.
