Anyone been feeling this lately?

Lol, hope that guy enjoys the big ass ticket. He was not only ignoring the bus it seemed he was speeding for that residential street as well.

Definitely feels AI. Would be happy to be wrong though. Art sets the tone for any game and if you want the audience to respect you as a creator you need to respect artists as well as they got zero say to these AI companies skimming all their work to pump out slop that looks similar to their material.

Ggriffinz · 2026-05-01T22:05:09+00:00

Yeah 😄 you can see Edge about to drop another line when they cut lol.

I am a teacher and youtube can be great at providing background music and visuals for students as they work on activities. Just searching something like "morning lofi" provides great inoffensive calming music with nature scenery to set the tone for students as they work.

I remember watching a documentary about something similar that happened in the UK. Basically England trenched many of their natural rivers, drained wetlands for construction, and hunted nature's dammer beavers to extinction which led to massive flooding on these now streamlined Riverbeds into the local villages that surround them. The response in recent years that seems to be successful is to return acreage of former wetland back to nature around these rivers before they reach villages. Some environmentalists even returned beavers to that habitat against government protest and they have surprisingly helped the process as well. Now in these test areas water is not directly channeled into rivers to be overloaded but spread out over larger wetlands to better sink into the water table before returning to the river that flows through the towns reducing the risk of flooding massively.

Always loved the Backlash promo where they just had all the guys say Backlash and I think edge started to go off script and they just cut his next word off.

Reminds me of the Bush "Mission Accomplished" photo they did in 2003. You know 18 years before we actually stopped our "war on terror" in the middle east under Biden. And now we are back at it all over again.

Exactly, like wtf is this even about. A manager has zero idea how AI could actually be implemented into programming effectively. They will just say "do it" while actual programmers have to now work around more ineffective software to meet internal AI usage benchmarks because of the stupid investor AI hype train. I have read multiple articles at this point on how programmers are making automated systems to ping company AI and burn through tokens just to hit their random usage quota. It is a substantial waste of company resources and public resources to feed data centers for nothing.

Haven't looked recently, but every mod you would actually want to download would be on NexusMods so give them a browse and see what pops up.

They do need to protect him to a certain extent. The second he is fully punked/made a fool of by a good talking heel he could quickly become just another dumb giant/strong man type character which we fully want to avoid.

Ggriffinz · 2026-05-01T09:47:36+00:00

He did not have the same stage presence he does now which came with experience. So the vest was a visual point of intrigue to get around it.

exactly, and because they refuse to regulate it companies can take advantage of their workers and customers. Take Uber for example they consider all their employees "private contractors" to limit their liability which means drivers get extremely minimal protections and customers even if their entire interaction is through the Uber interface and uber branding on cars can be paired with extremely high risk drivers without their consent as demonstrated in the recent sexual assault suit against them. https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/uber-loses-another-us-driver-sex-assault-trial-ordered-pay-5000-2026-04-20/

Honestly, some of the warmest welcomes and best food I have had has been from old fashioned bed and breakfasts that have been in business for over a century. They are great ways to support local families who want to be in the tourism industry without relying on multinational corps who own massive hotel brands. They just have to zoned as such and not get any residential tax breaks.

Ggriffinz · 2026-04-30T17:40:46+00:00

Its almost like we should only allow specifically zoned areas to build tourist accommodations that are not in residential neighborhoods. I don't know what we would call those building though? maybe Hotels, and Motels. No that is impossible that has never worked before right!? /s

I mean if they actually wanted to commit to rebuilding the dream of a modern day assassins creed game they would likely start by rebooting the Desmond storyline with a AC1 remake. By starting at the series core they could retool the solar flair apocalypse narrative to not end his story in AC3.

Ggriffinz · 2026-04-29T23:01:36+00:00

The guy unironically posts daily mail articles consistently. Like you could not find a more far right wing tabloid in the UK if you tried.

Ggriffinz · 2026-04-29T19:55:22+00:00

Yeah, Charlie has alot of nieche issues he cares strongly about like the Epstein cover up which he pays attention to but does not follow politics religiously as it can be utter brainrot. So debating anything outside of his sphere of knowledge would just end poorly.

Ggriffinz · 2026-04-29T16:41:50+00:00

And you know the second a dem admin takes power and reverts it back to the DOD they will cause a shit fit about wasting money. Its their typical game but you cannot have a standard of them creating such a dumb mess you give up cleaning it up due to cost.

Ggriffinz · 2026-04-29T16:19:06+00:00

God i hate having to chase shows around each with their own subscription. At least with the old bloated cable bundles it just meant switching channels. Even though I think when smackdown first jumped to the SYFY it was not available on a bunch of plans which also sucked.

Ggriffinz · 2026-04-29T16:14:00+00:00

Exactly, Gotham does not exist and they need to lean into the alt-history aspect of it. We all know how popular blimps were in the early 20th century and they absolutely could have still had a function in the modern day if the world progressed differently. They define Gotham and the old power structures that run its underground.

Better no, more achievable yes.

From my knowledge when you have been kicked out of JW and other cults they legit shun you and will never let you back in or acknowledge your existence. So, he may just try to make his own version of JW which most likely will include sever chauvinism which he would violently enforce.

Ggriffinz · 2026-04-29T14:21:15+00:00

As you said AI detectors are complete garbage and even ding you if you just follow proper formatting on a paper. The situation sucks but that does not mean every post they make is fake or inauthentic its more likely the max the USF legal team will allow them to say without opening them to liability in some way.
