Just when Character.ai is going bankrupt. Surely a coincidence…

Today, it’s “just” intimidation. After the midterms though…

I mean… props to her dedication I guess. I wish I could care that much about things.

By now he must’ve (correctly) deduced that his approval will never really go lower than ~30% because that 30% doesn’t vote (or live) rationally. He quite literally took tens of thousands from both people who could barely afford it and those who could really not afford it - AND THEY WOULD STILL VOTE FOR HIM.

It’s what brought internet to the masses. That’s what always kills <any subject>.

I’m from the before-times, where loading a single EGA screen in 4 colours took a good twenty seconds from a floppy drive. Printer was dot matrix. Internet was something mythical only possessed by the extremely elite or academia. You better believe I’m still astonished when I see a 4K game load in 3 seconds from an NVMe drive.

No. But I’ve only been employed here for a single week. Novelty’ll have to wear off at some point.

I treat every bit of “news” from those sources (Kalshi, Polymarket) as outright manipulation. They have a vested interest in presenting either one of two sides, depending on how the odds fall that day. But they have zero duty to truth.

Bloodborne 60 fps when?

Inevitable. The next generation will be imperceptible and thus impossible to vandalize.

When my old job still used Citrix for customers, 90% of our support calls would be about that. We spent, if that, 10% of the time actually troubleshooting our own software. Most of it was certificates included with Receiver not being fully validated or even being fucking revoked. Fun times.

I want an emu. Specifically, I want to hand-rear one from the egg.

I’ve done this with chickens and ducks and loved it. Emus are basically just giant chickens anyway.

“Divide & conquer” remains the elites’ oldest and, by far, strongest trick. One tweet will have you hating <insert any race/gender/age/social status/…> Though subtly of course. Gotta maintain plausible deniability.

I’d be careful before crying victory. This most likely means those houses will be bought by PE, not individual buyers. The end result will be higher prices still.

These are not the actions of people who are planning on relinquishing a lick of power, regardless of how votes turn out.

If fossil fuels and meat become impossible to afford for most people, it’s probably the only way to make that change. Lord knows we wouldn’t do it willingly.

My own grandfather is a danger on the road. He’s slowly losing his faculties, which is always tragic but doubly so because this was a deep intellectual. But trying to convince him that it’s really time to stop driving has been… a challenge, shall we say. There’s really only so much you can do in a legal sense.

Until 95% of games have this, and you won’t have a choice.

Pretty sure that in a decade, the norm will be that ads are absolutely everywhere. Only holdouts (think Kojima etc) and tiny indie setups will be able to avoid it. Every AA+ title will be riddled with it, and just like you can’t imagine people just “accepting” that today, we couldn’t imagine people “just accepting” microtransactions fifteen years ago. Yet here we are.
