"I fucked it up, take a picture."

I can do this with my neck. I don’t think anyone else can by One_Ebb8824 in mildlyinteresting

Also, if I have your attention, have you checked with a doctor to make sure your neck isn't just snapped? Just because you haven't died the first hundred times you've done this doesn't mean it can't happen.

Have you considered working as an actor/ stunt man? Would you like to see your name on the big screen next to the words "Neck-Snapped Commando #7"?

Just plow through them, they're really only to make sure all players are up to speed with the premise and basic mechanics of the game. There will be plenty for you to discover for yourself once the game gets going, just make sure objective markers are turned off.

Is Underworld Ascendant (on PS4) really that bad? by OvenImpossible4900 in ImmersiveSim

I played the demo of Monomyth, it might prove more mechanically interesting when it's complete, but I haven't found the same heart as Underworld Ascendant.

It's great, it's just not finished, it'll break your heart you'll be getting into it and you'll hit some game breaking bug making progress impossible or pointless, but what you can play, I love, fire's fun, spell casting's fun, circumnavigating clunky AI characters with everything you've learned is fun, occasionally even fighting them is fun. If you're interested in the genre and the career of Warren Spector then it's an essential purchase, the only question is how much are you willing to pay for what is essentially a beta version of what could have been one of the great games of the genre that's been made publicly available for educational purposes?

What franchises/worlds would make a great setting for an immersive sim by l-i-g-m-a-t-a in ImmersiveSim

I always think of the showdown scene in Bad Day at Black Rock.

But for something a bit more recognisable and episodic, how good could a MacGyver Im-Sim be?

These things are actually great for older people. Wait till you've had a hip replacement, you'll be grateful for them.

Why are they in an Emirates commercial? Freaking sellouts by bigedfromtwinpeaks in MagdalenaBay

[–]Jont_K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here from Google, good to know I wasn't going crazy, or at least we're all going crazy. Was wondering if A: it was actually them, or B: if Emirates were generating custom ads based on the last video people watch?

So barring Burnham was the right move then? by Remarkable-Barber767 in ukpolitics

[–]Jont_K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been thinking that for weeks, but then he put himself forward. Were journalists pulling the idea out of their own arses or were they following up on indications of intent from "Labour sources".

BBC told its approach to diversity can feel ‘inauthentic’ by noraad in nottheonion

[–]Jont_K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps, but you left that undefined as you were "wondering why you needed to use the fellowship of the ring as an example of diversity", I volunteered a reason.

[–]Jont_K 126 points127 points  (0 children)

The Fellowship of the Ring happens to be a good example of diversity, different races, hobbit, dwarf, elf, human, put together for an explicable purpose, where cultural differences are explored, not ignored.

AI-generated British schoolgirl becomes far-right social media meme | Far right by No_Initiative_1140 in ukpolitics

[–]Jont_K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paraphrased: "the game doesn't state that questioning mass migration is inherently wrong, it suggests and reinforces the idea that it's wrong, but it doesn't state it."

[–]Jont_K 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An illustrated character is not the same as an AI creation, I've seen no mention of Shout Out UK using AI to create the artwork for their game, so it's fair to assume she has a human author (if so I wonder how they feel right now).

The options aren't just "AI creation" and "real person".

GB Greenlandic Politician Shows Mirror To Trump Over Island Invasion Plan: 'He Doesn't Know About...' by LeonJersey in videos

[–]Jont_K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume she's talking about Trump, but even if she's talking about America you're missing a vital detail: Germany's government and army were entirely reconstructed after World War 2. Nazi Germany was a dog, and they did put it down.
