"Nostalgia is the only reason people like old games."

Your brain is trapped in a worldview that the capitalism-fueled art machine & culture around it (perhaps society even) is always on an upward trend and you need to break free.

Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum!

are renewables better for the environment than fossil fuels? yes. is it cheaper? also yes. is it less dangerous to extract? yes, significantly.

but you've gotta understand if we switched, the people who are currently wealthy would not be as wealthy

MrBeast hates Zohran because if people have access to basic necessities, it will demolish the Giving People Those Necessities As Part Of A Saw-Inspired Game Show industry

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Thanks so much for reaching out and for the kind words about the game, we're thrilled you're loving Outer Worlds 2! It's great to hear you're even trying to contribute feedback on the issue tracker. You've run right into a common security feature where disabling 2FA also requires a current code to prove you're the account owner making the change. Since your issue is with the Obsidian account system (for the issue tracker) and involves account security, this is something our specialized account security team needs to handle directly. They're the only ones who can verify your ownership and safely disable the authenticator app link without a current code. Please email their dedicated support channel directly right now at support@obsidian.md. - In your email, explain exactly what you told me: you lost access to your authenticator app, you used a backup code to log in, but you can't disable 2FA because it still asks for an authenticator code. - Mention that you can provide any proof of account ownership they need. The support team at that address is equipped to work through the necessary identity verification steps to get that 2FA disabled for you.

When you email issues to Obsidian Entertainment (the video game company) their AI support hallucinates and tells you to email Obsidian (the note-taking company) instead.

If the reward function is to reduce the number of touches in a support ticket, this is one way to do it.

I feel a little bad for the artists who were the first to get their work fed into the machines

FGC TAKE NOTES

If you had seed capital you could play capitalism on easy mode in 80% of industries by just being 80s greedy instead of 2025 greedy but investors are scum who get hives when a company they invest provides any actual value to the world at all

Cue the joke about fascists and the dodgers
BTW ohtani deferred over 95% of his salary so they could sign more good players now, so that team is stacked in a way no other team is

they know they're supposed to be blaming the Democrats for the shutdown making people's lives worse, but they're so passionate about the concept of making people's lives worse that they can't stop themselves from talking about how they think people's lives should be worse

foreign country buys $1 million in soybeans, they get soybeans
foreign country spends $1 million on American college tuition, those students live here, spend money here, their research benefits American institutions, they leave with a positive view of America, etc.

it's hugely valuable for us!

Hey look, YouTube is doing a thing that no one asked for, benefits no one, wastes resources, reduces functionality, destroys original content, burdens infrastructure, and worsens the user experience all so they can push a false narrative about tech that fundamentally doesn't work the way they want.

Don't be a 70 dollar game that runs like shit

Whenever I think of Satya Nadella's stupid fucking 'AI Advisors' shit I think of Chuck Schumer's imaginary friends he listens to for political advice (they voted for Trump 3 times)

We're ruled by superstitious lunatics and they don't even have the courtesy to die from drinking liquid mercury

It feels like every company is conceding they are completely incapable of making anything because they're organization nightmares run by the dumbest people on the planet so now they're all pivoting into 'we will make basically nothing and somehow make trillions'

in the same week Amazon, Netflix and Microsoft have all signalled they want some bullshit fusion of shortform video and streaming games powered by AI

just pull the trigger piglet

they have made the fire pit where you can throw money you never want to see again even more accessible

none of these acquisitions actually work out for the acquiring company so every american media company megazording into a giant piece of shit that can't get anything out the door and ending american cultural hegemony by falling over and burning down just feels fitting, really

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

feels like the 'we will cut off our own limbs so it looks easier to kidnap us' strategy is beginning to fail

i stopped posting on Twitter when it became clear the algo was artificially boosting content based on whether it aligned with Elon Musk's deranged political views. now they're literally turning over the whole thing to an AI model with a big "racism" dial turned to 11

EA's AI Game Development Tools Are Apparently So Bad That It's Costing More Money To Fix Their Mistakes A new report suggests that EA's pivot to AI is just causing costly mistakes, and the developers hate it.
