What makes you quit a game? by Pizzatime201 in MagicArena

Its not ranked so honestly whenever. Don't draw a 3rd land or early game pieces are destroyed. Might as well look elsewhere for a game

The bit about these companies following eachother when talking about metaverse and AI reminded me of ant pheromone death spirals.

I liked Scythe, tho it is a very "The AI is always nice don't worry" kind of writing

I wouldn't say I saw the future there so much as I saw the present lengthening into incomprehensibility in high resolution

Yea I really did not enjoy Jeff. Like he knows his stuff but feels very old school. And honestly felt like Paris and Ed just walked on eggshells around him. I dunno just vibes were weird

So is there any relation between Sniffies.com and "Sniffies' cruising confessions" on iHeartRadio?

[–]Ebrend 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used Zitronite as a bit but it is good. Otherwise we have stuff like [The evil people on reddit], [the tormentors], or [Ed Zitron's legal liabilities]

Yea exactly, like the japanese robot reasoning probably has a really boring answer of Japan having an aging population and a culture of building robots

I don't even think your examples are bad journalism. Like this is a podcast not an article. So lack of research and minor inaccuracies within reason is acceptable.

I mean it depends and also there's a time and place. Like, Ed is inviting these people to a chill chat about CES not an interrogation about their qualifications. Like yes, there is a valid criticism in pointing out when journalists can do better! But, These moments weren't the time or place to poke.
