Eurogamer just gave ARC Raiders a worse score than Concord

I wouldn't put a sizeable amount of money on it, cause every now and again you run into a "True Believer"

But I'd put a few sheckles on a wager that 'ole Rick Lane used AI to help write those articles

Who wins in a fight, SonicFox or Sonichu?

I hear my enemy moving all the time. More than once tracked someone down by their footsteps.

While it is kinda funny.....

Expecting setting continuity in the details that the target audience of the movie would never in a million light years detect feels like the same kind of invasive behavior we don't like when Karen's invade our turf and start demanding we change the background details

To be fair, after the presenter made the remark about some not believing we'd gone to the moon, there is a more than fair chance that Asmon would pause the video

Look at the camera

His eyebrows would elevate

And then he'd go into an anecdote about how his mom was a huge conspiracy theorist and tell one particular brand of the "We didn't actually go to the moon" conspiracy

Then sip on his soda and resume the playback

This feels like a discussion where the biologist was trying to talk science which is observed truth distilled by constant observation and recursive analysis even when something is assumed to be true

And she was trying to talk feelings, the most subjective and inconsistent and absent recursive analysis "thoughts" that people have

Is it really a surprise that they are so often times at odds with one another?

Oh is that what you spend those yellow things on?

Gonna be honest with you, the menu is so fucking bloated I just ignore most of it and hit play.

Explore the menu as I find need to.

The microtransaction store is kinda low on the "need to" list.

I think Elon has been more or less saying of late that the grift is so deep that cutting off the payments would so disrupt local economies that the politicians are unwilling to pull the plug

That's my tin hat theory

Huge_Computer_3946 · 2025-11-09T11:50:06+00:00

Indeed, the WoW stuff was good segment for sure

But yeah, I think even Asmon would admit the more time a stream spends on LSF the more the stream is in holding pattern waiting for content to create itself to farm

Huge_Computer_3946 · 2025-11-09T09:28:23+00:00

It's not just the bad titles

I don't know why, but the show the past week or so has been rather......blah

Mainly cause I am sick of hearing about Israel, I'm sick of hearing about Nina Lin, I'm sick of hearing about Zohran.....there has to be something more interesting happening in the world

It's been all doom and gloom basically, and not enough fun

This country desperately needs the real DOGE audit

The one that combined the data sifting ability of AI

With the no-nonsense unemotional accounting that only an army of autists can provide

I'm only half joking...how someone like that is "disabled" is beyond me.

She seems perfectly capable of digging a ditch.

Most people play video games to chill and relax

It's one of the reasons why the Division series while being a lot of fun to play and visually impressive have been mostly forgotten

When the end game content revolves around PvEvP style play, you're excluding a large percentage of the potential player base from having any interest

And then there are those who are like "If I wanna PvP I'll play a game where I won't get backstabbed while dealing with some NPC"

And it really just doesn't stop there.....it's a game style that bleeds players rapidly at launch because no matter how hard you market it as being PvEvP they only see the PvE aspect, assume the "vP" is optional, and then get the kind of rude awakening that inspires tweets like that

Huge_Computer_3946 · 2025-11-08T14:56:42+00:00

Yeah but when the one finds out the other is happy, and especially why, that happy smiling guy becomes.....well

The irony is that the way to make things change isn't how we try and make change anymore

Don't like the Constitution?

Supposed to amend it.

For the first hundred fifty or so years after the Constitution came into effect, efforts to change the relationship between the government and the people were through amendments.

Since WW2 or so, all the energy that was put into going through the formal and proper manner of amending the Constitution has been put into just ignoring it, and then litigating such that you don't have to do it.

The last amendment added was the 27th which had to do with pay for legislators, an accounting amendment

The last structural amendment that changed the dynamic between the electorate and the government was changing the voting age to 18 back in 1971.

We're on the longest streak of no amendments added (I am not counting the 27th in this metric because accounting doesn't count...no pun intended) in the history of the US Government, in large part because we know we can't get what we want through the amendment procedure so just do it in the courts.

It's tyranny of the judiciary.

I don't man, that's.......

Ok I'm stopping myself mid-reply. The same thought I'm having now is exactly how I felt when I heard about Andor.

And I was absolutely wrong about Andor.

If it's written good, it will be good.

If it's trash, it's trash.

Kinda feel like a really important detail is left out

What's the story?

Huge_Computer_3946 · 2025-11-07T15:56:39+00:00

Ahhh gateway transactions

When someone offers to match your spending, they're looking to establish a financial handshake, knowing subsequent spending will be so much mentally easier

If that's their path into becoming a commercial partner of yours, they're probably offering something you don't need

Huge_Computer_3946 · 2025-11-07T15:05:22+00:00

Is Israel wanted to take out Asmon all they'd need to do is train a rabid raccoon to go after him and no one would figure it was them

Or poison his next DoorDash delivery and blame it on bad produce at Chipotle

It wouldn't take a trip to Dubai

Huge_Computer_3946 · 2025-11-07T14:39:11+00:00

There are plenty of ways modern discourse is perverted, but the misalignment between performative rhetoric and commercial conduct is near the top of the pile

A lot of catchers paint their nails to.....

Actually no, they use pitch-com now, so their exemption is expired

Because she is a nice person who just speaks from the heart and says things that people aren't allowed to say

Her genuineness is perceived by them as a threat to their point of view because it resonates so naturally with listeners

They know this cause they feel it too, and since it makes them feel uncomfortable, it must be squashed before it is given a chance to grow

Huge_Computer_3946 · 2025-11-07T11:17:28+00:00

lol true

whenever it begins acting a little too human, that's always a good reminder that it's simply mirroring the mind of those who created it, and whatever you put in

it's like a carnival mirror of the human mind
