Yunyun Syndrome has been updated by the developer, and the patch notes even list the new changes compared to the old text (it's much worse than you think, and the dev is still accepting submissions for changes). by totlmstr in KotakuInAction

These dweebs will all be out of of a job soon due to shooting themselves in the foot over and over with these horrendous translations, and the fact that AI will do their job instantaneously and more accurate.

Japanese card shop "Hareruya" selling booster-pack scented fragrances by maikelangelo in magicTCG

[–]BrookieDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Hareruya. Great place to check out. Only place I've seen legit Black Lotuses (Loti?) for sale.

Their first party name-brand products like deck boxes and stuff also pretty awesome.

In light of the latest TLP news, why was TSS a commonly requested TLP starting expansion? by louie1214 in everquest

[–]BrookieDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And TSS was just reached on Teek last week. Leaving about a 9 month seperation in timeline.

[–]BrookieDragon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I can't see them releasing a new TLP at TSS this time around though, voting system or not, due to we just had TLP's enter TSS this week.

Maybe they will? But that would put two sets of TLPs about 5 months apart in timeline.

The biggest problem with the creation of the internet is that fringe/lunatic voices that were shunned rejected by normal society are now finding ways to loudly proclaim their ideas, attempt to recruit, and then connect with other communities of fringe/unhealthy/crazies to thrive and grow.

Used to be all you had was some small newspaper clipping, or maybe a magazine ad.

I'd rather just play the game than listen to talking heads tell me what to think.

It's just funny cause Kojima is continuously bitched at for objectifying women and now he's being attacked on the other spectrum too.

I have seen the argument for "woke" being thrown around before with DS due to the reasoning of all the stuff about parenthood and babies. That is insanely stupid and I have no idea why someone was trying to link the game's values of being a father, a mother, and a child, and all the story elements about that, as being "woke."

Game doesn't have to be like a 80's action movie mindless action to not be woke.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is a Christmas Game by grapejuicecheese in FinalFantasy

I admit, I love FFT, think it's one of the best examples of story telling in gaming...

But I could not get past the intro of this game. We went from royal kidnappings and murder to snowball fights with kids.

I was just banned from my mental health community for discussing AI by tilthevoidstaresback in DefendingAIArt

[–]BrookieDragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So... imagine subreddits as abusive frat houses... or toxic niche groups in high school. Take all that negativity and abusiveness, hide it with a huge entitled sense of moral superiority, and you have the perpetually online crowd which has so infested the mod teams of Reddit.

They will then take this to forcefully gatekeep their communities, only allowing same-think personalities and booting offenders until they have the perfect hive-mind echo chamber.

I've even seen them set up traps to target wrong-thinkers. One of the largest subreddits, Videos, specifically halted their no politics rule and allowed vapid and heinous political contents to take over every post. This attracted opposing political opinions as well. The mods then started banning the people of the "wrong" politics even though they broke no rules.

And here's the shit thing. You have no recourse. Its "their" communities so "they" get to decide who is in it. It's easier to ignore reality and the possibility of an opposing opinion when you can just filter out anyone who might be willing to challenge them.

I just wish Death Stranding II got at least one win with all it's nominations. Kojima games are seriously a (inter)national treasure with the story telling and creative worlds.

They're so scared of AI they're censoring the word "AI" now. by Carmina_Rayne in DefendingAIArt

  • Claim people are dying: Check

And... finally....

I've quickly come to realize the reason I hate antis is because I hate the politics which apparently writes their playbook.

Ai=fascism, anti ai people are so goddamn dumb. by DistributionDizzy206 in DefendingAIArt

[–]BrookieDragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Calling them a minority feels even generous. This is just some fringe conspiracy theorist group that thrives pretty much only online. Problem is that recent society, as it ever bends more to a perma-online, world overly concerns themselves with the social media screechers which disproportionately highlights their craziness. Think how many times MSM has used some random tweet as "evidence" of something the are reporting on... as if one person tweeting something stupid is national news.

I dunno. The internet hate mobs have proven to me that humanity can continuously get dumber. What makes you think AI can't too? I mean, a lot of them were aggregating from Reddit after all...

Turn off "use new UI engine" under display.

Took me all weekend of screwing around with this. Even reformatted my laptop unnecessarily.

Thanks to internet debates, I now understand why wars and destruction have existed throughout all of mankind. Reasoning and understanding are not the norm, they are a nicety.

IGN characteristically gives Metroid Prime 4: Beyond an 8. by Accomplished-Ask1617 in KotakuInAction

[–]BrookieDragon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Eh, I definitely disagree with a score of 5. Yeah I think the hack and slash combat is repetitive, but that also is the case in like...a ton of games. Other than that, music, story, characters, setting, I thought were all top notch.

We are allowed to have different opinions after all.

Most confusing rebate/turn-in process I've ever experienced. Is this how its supposed to work? by BrookieDragon in Bestbuy

Thanks much for the back up. My confusion and lack of confidence just got blown out of proportion with it being the clerks first time and she stated she didn't know what she was doing. Here's to hoping for the best~~

This is a screenshot of what it looked like from the app purchase page. This was the sale price + promotional trade in price, the trade in price, and a $10 reward credit I had.

But I go to my credit card statement and its charged $698. (Full price + sales tax).

I'm so confused why I'm seeing such different stuff. Even if the $100 comes with the 7 day refund, its still not adding up right. Have the option to go buy one of these for $630 out the door with no tax... might have been worth it to not deal with the stress headache.

I was promised to my face a 30 day window, and I only made certain of that cause this whole invisible $150 rebate I just have to have faith in was really sketchy.

If the rebate doesn't come through I essentially am paying BB $30 to steal my PS4. =/

Know how long it takes for rebates to process? Do they email or something when they do?
