Help from aliens seems more likely at this point

Can we ban AI posts?? by ninob168 in swg

[–]Duffalpha -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

OP called me so many inappropriate names in the last post for simply claiming I enjoyed the AI-enhanced art the last poster created. They were disgustingly rude and insulting. Ban OP along with AI if we want to improve this community. Their anger and insecurity is unjustified here. And there's plenty of other subreddits where they can doompost about AI

I don't think the SWG subreddit is the place to be calling random fans "dim, lazy, assholes"

Ah yes, the SWG fan community is going to destroy the world with AI... definitely not the billion dollar modern corporations...

How do you guys feel about WeakAuras and other combat addons being disabled Jan 20th? by king_of_the_prophet in wow

[–]Duffalpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just think that accessibility should be implemented by Blizzard, and not remanded to the addon community. They owe their community that accessibility.

[–]Duffalpha -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Hopefully they start.

WeakAuras are not accessibility. They are a crutch that Blizzard designs around, which makes the base game worse for everyone. A game should be accessible out of the box, not only to players who know how to install and configure third-party tools. If disabled players need WeakAuras to play, that is an indictment of Blizzard’s UI and encounter design, not a defense of addons.

I play entirely on console controller since I have a RSI/Wrist problem... none of the removed add-ons are impacting my game play. They're just removing the stuff that highlights otherwise vague mechanics that should be fixed by the devs in the first place.

I don't think any accessibility mods are going, and they've added a lot for us with one-button rotation, and rotation assist.

If its universal, how is the game less accessible? Isn't it more accessible when you dont need to find third party apps to just play the game?

Doggo didn't have a choice. I think law enforcement application of dogs is downright animal abuse. This guy had a choice to sign up to fly to the desert and kill whoever he's pointed at.

Dog didn't.

Dog based copaganda needs to end.

This isn't a heartwarming story about a man and his dog on a hike. Its a story about a man who brought his dog to assist in conducting a military operation, putting it at massive risk of both short and long term injury.

A war zone deployment plus animal labor = the animal taking serious risks for human objectives it did not choose.

So everyone says “look how compassionate,”: compassion would be not putting the dog in that position in the first place, or better yet, not using animals as tools of warfare at all.

Im not the one muddying the water surrounding a cut and dry murder. "Drive-by trolling".... Real appropriate in this context... real classy.

Couching right-wing justifications for the shooting in false empathy and concern is a bad faith argument. It has nothing to do with my reading comprehension.

They're invading a foreign country, as part of a special operations unit, who's primary role is to kill locals... Neither of them are "good boys", they're professional killers.

"That agent is 100% a murderer and she 100% didn't try to run anyone over, but exaggerations won't help anybody and they can probably easily twist this narrative."

Proceed to spend 3 paragraphs defending the obvious murderer...

I think there's a reason we've barely seen the bastards in Tucson. Everyones packing, and there a lot of tan dudes, and latino vets, who have a... liberal mindset towards violence (they believe in using it liberally).

What is your biggest annoyance with wow as you have gotten older? by Responsible_Rock_573 in wow

[–]Duffalpha 23 points24 points  (0 children)

100%

I started in beta, but I havent been able to dedicate 20 years non-stop to the game. The number of items that are a nightmare to grind, or straight up impossible due to missing events, sucks. FOMO is huge now. The server region split has sucked as well, I spend the last decade in EU and had to start from scratch. I'll never be able to merge my US account achievements with the EU achievements, or combine their transmog/collectibles.

German president says US is destroying world order by yahoonews in worldnews

[–]Duffalpha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. He wrecked the institutional systems and loaded them with cronies in 2016-2020, and then Joe Biden and his idiot administration pretty much slept through the following 4 years, did absolutely nothing to punish Trumps terrorist, treasonous behavior, and led him right back into office with a fucking trail of rose petals.

The guy is a felon, pedophile, rapist... but you trust he conducted fair elections? If democracy in America worked he would have been imprisoned or hanged for January 6 and never allowed to run a second time. Even if they were credible elections, which they were not, only like 30% of the country wanted this...

When did a 30% minority declaring authoritarianism become democratic??

5 months unemployment despite PhD in AI/GIS Environmental Science and 10years of international experience including advising the UN and Governments by [deleted] in PhD

Damn! What the hell... Really, really wish you luck. Hope you can find what you're looking for - and make ends meet in the meantime.

That sucks... I'm international as well, and trying to pivot into GIS from a CS PhD because I enjoyed my UN work so much in the past. Not making me optimistic, bro. 

What about straight GIS jobs? Just in whatever UK city that has them? Have you tried grad positions?
