Millions of people out there just like me who are mad that gamergate made atheism cringe

The literally said "A dozen people," absolutely wild

You're surprised that people are bullying a marginalized person on the internet? Have you ever been on the internet before today? Like I'm sorry to tell you this but it turns out the relative anonymity of the internet empowers people to be really awful. I hope you never learn about 4chan and twitter

Best take I've seen all day, very refreshing. Star Trek even at its worst is interesting, the most interesting Star Wars gets is when a guy is evil but in a cool way

People are bullying a disabled person on the internet, there's nothing to do with the term clanker because they would just be using another word and it would be just as awful. Clanker has become a useful term for shaming AI and that is the good and just thing to do. So stop concern trolling for AI

Frankly I think is it extremely stupid to conflate hatred of AI, hatred which is good and cool and extremely necessary right now, with the Sci-Fi trope of bigotry of an artificial person. The thing that's not harmless is AI and we must make people too embarrassed to use it whenever possible

What's the bottleneck on it, Research, recording, or editing? If it's the first or third I could definitely help you with that! We bypass scripting which is save a lot of time, and you just talk off the cuff. We can cut down research too through community suggestions and get a turnaround of 3 days

The only accomplishment Bari Weiss has ever had was getting fired from a mainstream media outlet for being TOO Zionist

You really should make these a video! Nobody has done this since the late gamegate dope TotalBiscuit and ever since I've always really wished someone would!

My apologies because I know I asked you about this when we were both on stream with Nika ages ago but I don't remember what you said lol

If I had followed her only an hour and a half earlier I wouldn't have missed out on the steam sale having only bought Undertale for my girlfriend. Don't make the same mistake I did. Follow early, stay prepared

Extremely funny to hear that the 'clean your room' guy is allegedly dying because his home was festering with mold for decades. His family is now blaming it on 'spiritual attacks' and it's even funnier that his daughter apparently the one who put him on the carnivore diet as well as in that coma

This part is a little too flattering. Talented artists can work on creatively bankrupt things, and there is a whole host of trash that is otherwise addicting but can barely even be called a game. Gamedev is often just a job and sometimes a job is a job and that's it

It's so funny it's such a pump and dump scheme but I wonder if they even know that were they genuinely think this toy will lead to a technological advancement

Because it's the one that's the most like an actual game. It's the best one

Crazy miscalculation on their part lmao. I didn't even know it was already 20 bucks but 30 is wild! you can get away with it if you raise the price by less than a dollar every 8 months or so, but 10 bucks at a time is going to make everyone gawk lol

Sabine Hossenfelder has got to be the most frustrating channel on YouTube because she's so amazing at explaining scientific concepts that I accept all of her takes regarding Bell's theorem and quantum physics, and then she also happens to be a massive transphobe lol so I can't trust the former!

The game could be as balanced fun as it's ever been but because a player thinks that they have something at one point and then lost it later, they get mad. Hardcore wipe gave everyone parody and lowered the power ceiling and everyone says it's the casual players at a disadvantage! It's the opposite!

This has also very much interested me because it goes along with my general thesis that players are not to be trusted. The game could be amazing but because they perceive that something got taken away from them, they hate it. Same EXACT thing with the tarkov hardcore wipe

Is 2XKO the kind of fighting game where you have to press a button twice quickly in order to dash? Because I just cannot do that for some reason. I find hammering the D pad to be very painful and my stick inputs aren't consistent enough. I can't even fight through the pain to do the dpad one lol

Hey it's not like that should prevent us from trying. They only really have one move and it has worked a total of once so I don't think we should get too doom and gloom about the prospect
