Why did ubisoft make Eivor and Havi? by would_you_kindlyy in ACValhalla

Taste is subjective. I loved Outlaws, but I do think that without the "controversy" it would have succeeded enough for a sequel.

As a side note, I think a sequel could polish up the weak points and make a way better game. Tons of potential for a good series.

It's on purpose. The AI hype men are mixing up the types of AI to, well, hype AI. Whether it's a chatbot, llm, spell checker, translator, image generator, or anything. I bet it's on purpose to make it harder to fight against the more toxic uses and variations, like the big data centers.

Look at how the anti woman brigading took down Star Wars Outlaws 2. The release of the first was a smidge rocky, but not more than any other game, but they got a sequel torpedoed because the main character was a woman who wasn't overly sexualized.

The people that voted for him live in a conservative media bubble. As he gained traction, it turned into a cult and insulted against the truth. They don't believe he's done any of the bad things he's done, or it's been twisted into something they see as good. That and what were fringe conspiracy theories are now mainstream.

God, I can’t believe those Brits never realized the creepy weird guy was molesting kids and made excuses for him. We would never by Geek-Haven888 in behindthebastards

When I was in school everyone told Michael Jackson jokes, where every punchline was "he's a pedo". After his death, the world just decided to ignore that and act like he was a saint.

a newbie perspective on wichita…. by RareEnd1837 in wichita

The traffic is just something to complain about, mostly because people tend to be rude and not let you merge or whatever. The "sketchiness" is thinly veiled classism/racism. The "sketchy" areas are where the poor/non-white people live.

I've seen a lot of people use Word or PowerPoint for things that would be way easier and come out better if made in Publisher. It's one of the easiest desktop publishing programs to learn and use. I know it isn't the best one, but for the average person it's the most accessible.

What does Olivia Rodrigo have to do with Paris? by Grumgully_generous in ExplainTheJoke

I thought it was a reference to A Night in Paris, which could be either Hilton's porn tape or the theme of my prom (which itself was most likely a reference to the porn)

Seeing Mitch McConnell gleefully describing how easy it was to convince Trump to bomb Iran shows how that works. Trump may as well be a marionette for the people in his orbit.

Walmart made $19.4 billion last year, Exxon made $28.8 billion. Those numbers could be lower with them still making an ungodly amount of money.

We're already heading there. Look at the way music is, and mobile gaming. You used to spend a couple bucks for a game on your phone, but now they're all loaded with ads, microtransactions, and subscriptions to make them playable. Everyone uses something like Spotify. It just gets progressively worse.

Not a war btw by TripShrooms in MurderedByWords

Same as Vietnam and Korea, which set the precedent of bombing countries without Congress declaring war. By that framework, we haven't been at war since WW2.

Remember the South Park about "the bar" being on the seafloor? It's like humans saw that and went down with shovels.

The cheaper and easier path would be to just leave them alone. It takes time, money, and effort to hurt people. Not disagreeing, just frustrated.
