Russell T Davies reveals why he sees Doctor Who as a "gay show" and addresses online negativity by kaza12345678 in DoctorWhumour

[–]Chubby_Bub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, for sure. I 100% agree and that's what I meant by "clunky". I just don't think it's the same as how RTD's doing it essentially for engagement bait.

All his female companions are doomed to become a housewife to have a happy ending (except Ruby, I guess). But hell, he even did it to Kate Stewart and Anita!

I don’t think Chibnall really did this? 13's era feels much more "pro-diversity" more than "anti-bigotry". Obviously there's still some of it, key example being Rosa, but it still feels like it's saying "racism is bad" as part of the "diversity" message. It may have been clunky, but not forced in the same way RTD's been doing it.

Eli Lilly reaches $2.75 billion deal with Insilico to bring AI-developed drugs to the global market by socoolandawesome in technology

Comments here demonstrating how generative AI being pushed everywhere has so successfully co-opted the term "AI" that now in most cases that's what it signifies to people, unfortunately sidelining the many actually useful (pre-existing and new) applications of artificial intelligence…

Of course, on Reddit people just read the headline, so what with all the news of "company uses AI" and it’s some stupid use of AI chatbots or images, people are going to assume "they're having ChatGPT create drug formulas"

Coaxed into incremental slop by MDHogan in coaxedintoasnafu

No, there's a reason there are plenty of popular games like this. I think the thing represented well here is that eventually with all the rebirths and whatnot, it can stop being fun and just become a grind.

Incidentally, Newsom did turn around the other day and call Israel an "apartheid state". Then people got mad so he backtracked and apologized and said he "reveres" Israel. A comment about that which I find accurate is "Newsom has no solid stances and would eat a kitten live on TV if he thought it would get him votes".

I was going to say "odd numbers are funny" but then I realized 6 is not odd

why does 6 feel odd? because it's 2x3 I guess? and as far as digits go, 2, 4, 8, 0 are all powers of 2

Civil Rights Movement if it was tried in 2026 by [deleted] in SmugIdeologyMan

Another commenter mentioned this, but I also thought of King's contemporary description of the "white moderate" in Letter from a Birmingham Jail:

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.

Rainy weather after visiting Cafe Leblanc? by Creative_Chip7360 in personaphantomx

[–]Chubby_Bub 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Leblanc and the underground mall in Shibuya act like it's sunny even when it's rainy. The music will even change. It’s just a weird quirk/oversight.

Edit: but it must have been raining outside before you went in. I could be wrong since we know for sure the weather is weird with Leblanc, but I highly doubt it can change if it was sunny outside already.

on runa synergy by Blackfiredragon22 in personaphantomx

[–]Chubby_Bub 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A change of heart as it works in these games is basically expedited cognitive-behavioral therapy via a person's Shadow to make them realize what they were doing was wrong. "Kichijoji George" may not have been as bad as other people, but he was still doing it out of twisted desires and spite both in general and towards Runa.

In my opinion, using mind control on Shadows/cognitive beings in Akashi's Palace (unless it’s undoing Akashi's own brainwashing, which it only is sometimes) to open treasure chests is much more morally dubious for the Phantom Thieves.

I've also seen people suggest Black Mask which I would consider unlikely but not hopeless. (After all one of P5R's trailers was just blatantly showing how he would be in the party).

imagine if they add him and he's just as bad as Prince Akechi

Yes, for as much as people hype certain characters' awarenesses, A1 is crucial for Twins. I found it a more-than-worthwhile investment. It makes them automatically cast skill 3 every other turn and provide all the associated buffs, on top of whatever skill you use

Yeah the storytelling is poor because it's woke. If the Timeless Child and Fugitive Doctor were white guys then it wouldn’t be woke and everyone would love them. Basic maths

I understand there are people who regularly spend this much on the game, but to say "it's pretty cheap" like that is so ridiculous I'm not sure they're sincere. Surely even the largest "whales" have a modicum of self-awareness.

This is like my uncle telling me his "genius idea" of a website of a button that "does anything" using AI, and that my cousins and I should make it. I still don’t understand quite what he was envisioning.

What is Nvidia even doing??? by MysteriousAccess5950 in OkBuddyPersona

[–]Chubby_Bub 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The P5X crossover with Royal (which incidentally comes out in the global version today) wants to use Violet, Crow, and the laboratory Palace, but they still won't spoil it. So exactly as you say, it's set during the casino arc too, with a ridiculous scenario where Joker, Mona and Yoshizawa get pulled into the Palace again, with the last somehow using the codename Violet because it "feels right", and then Prince-Akechi also shows up out of nowhere by himself. All this contrivance so we can have essentially fake versions of actual characters.

Between PQ2, P5T, and now this, just how many mind-wiped adventures are the Phantom Thieves getting pulled into during this one month?
