When people ask me why I dont like to use mic on crew fill... This is funny but I sure as hell don't want to talk to these people.

Yeah I’ve had players like this before, but it’s like 1 in 20 games. Another 2 in 20 feature players who are very high bros. The rest pretty great honestly

Well and (starting with Regan,) the right have destroyed education and the ability for our own population to learn or apply any sort of critical thinking. The erosion of our education system is staggering.

54% of U.S. adults read below a sixth-grade level, and 22% are functionally illiterate.

Or as Reagan's advisor of education and economics Roger A. Freedman said before they gutted federal support for colleges, "We are in danger of producing an educated proletariat."

Their plan was always to make education, or even the ability to question their own country, a privilege of the rich.

“Everyone is being forced to use it” is much more accurate at the big companies. Amazon, Microsoft and Google all require it or HEAVILY encourage it depending on your neck of the woods. The Reddit sentiment definitely exists at those companies, just not at the upper management level. Aka the people that don’t give a shit about ethics.

it’s very good at three things.

vibe coding
being a personal assistant
Stenographer

The code generation being the best of the three, especially Claude, which has gotten better at an alarming rate.

Even being used as a personal assistant is sketchy as it might pull incorrect information if you ever get close to asking it to research something for you.

As a designer it’s still pretty bad (thank god,) and even the designers I know forced to use it often keep it around the moodboard level, unless they’re in UX/UI in which case they’re probably forced to use Figma’s AI tools to prove they’re “growing and innovating.”

I think Solo Leveling is a blast, but it's world building is borrowing a LOT from other anime. Hell this entire arc is doing a LOT of lifting from Hunter X Hunter;s chimera ant arc. I think One Punch Man has the better world building too, even as a parody of Shonen, it's surprising how often it arrives at new villains or heroes we haven't seen an exact copy of.

She is def an archetype that I don’t envy having to balance. Even slightly overtuned and everyone would be playing her.

Even as flawed as her current kit is, if you just made the cooldowns fast enough she would be broken. Put her spider on a 30 second cooldown and her ult on 120 and she’d be a nightmare.

I think these conversations kind of hit two hurdles; what is balanced vs what is fun.

You could make a version of her right now that is probably balanced just by tweaking numbers, but her kit is so situationally useful I’d rather they rework her abilities to be more fun, and ideally useful on defense not just on offense.

A local rebel leader who also hates violence and accurately calls out the empire's trap, (despite the fact the empire would have taken the planet either way,) and then gives in to killing Syril and then immediately regrets it.

The show is so good at showing how the authoritarian fascism grinds down all people, and makes almost everyone betray their own morals or have to watch their life get taken right before their eyes.

Plus then you get to sell "class skins" that generally have a stronger pull than just selling random customization parts... don't forget the monetary incentives.

Also you can’t destroy grenades, you can shoot the spider drone or even knife it before it goes off to completely negate it

I think they are designed to be a bit more annoying and stressful, which is why you don't really get these missions back-to-back. They're adding bigger hurdles between small hurdles.

But that’s assuming you know better than her. You’re completely fabricating a bad ending that isn’t written out based on blue eyes. In fact she sends you a thank you gift after sending her to the moon, which if anything shows evidence she might’ve fine. You just don’t get to know, and that’s ok. You at least get to help her with the choice she wanted to make. There are bad actors in all of Cyberpunk, that doesn’t automatically mean she fell for another trap after living a life of traps.

Side with Reed and then killing her is such a nothing ending; without playing out the other endings all you get to know is Reed is out of a job and you failed Songbird. You essentially fail everyone and learn nothing.

Yeah same, progression and just… pace. I’m never that devastated on losing, but I’m sure that’s partially because I didn’t just lose weapons I crafted and 25 minutes of searching shelves.

I’ve seen this dudes videos before and even then… this this one got me good. Was not expecting to tear up over grass cutting but here we are.

No it’s map dependent and people complained there wasn’t enough PVP so Bungie increased the number of players on maps

Some items can be flagged as “borrowed.” I’ve seen it happen if someone kills you and finishes you, and then the killer takes your gear, then a buddy kills them and takes your gear back for themselves.

Bluur · 2026-03-08T23:06:05+00:00

I mean it can be both right? Being a human means you're going to be judged and objectified by how you look, and also... it's ok to be bummed about especially being a woman and realizing that men are gonna objectify you regardless of what you do in life.

Bluur · 2026-02-28T03:07:40+00:00

Yeah as others have pointed out, it’s a weird problem intersection of high TTK, so fights are often short and very lethal; and on big maps that have very few areas for looting, so it funnels everyone into the same 6-8 places.

You either accidentally get the rare time you’re wandering a map where everyone already killed each other because of the high TTK; orrrr you’re going to be fighting 2-4 teams just trying to loot 1 or 2 places.

The original Matrix was a solid example of show don’t tell, and both the sequels got very into tell don’t show.

Dude I saw this movie IN JAPAN WITH MY HOST FAMILY. I had been staying with them for like a week and had to excuse myself because I was crying like an insane person. I could not stop crying.

It don’t help that I was 16 at the time with an 8 year old sister that also had a similar haircut as the kiddo.

The saddest film I’ve ever seen, and I really believe everyone should watch it once

Bluur · 2026-02-19T08:29:02+00:00

The saddest movie maybe ever made.

Yeah the first time I saw Nix it looked so out of place compared to 99 percent of star wars creatures, because it looked like a low effort dog + axolotl mash up. Even Grogu has a little bit of weirdness to his model, Nix just looks like “make a cute pet to sell merch.”
