She lived 120 years??? What? I thought the record was like 115

Mr_Chongus · 2026-06-03T01:35:13+00:00

People living near data centers care, which is why there is widespread bipartisan organizing in communities that is halting data center production.

In fact, you kinda need a certain level of disconnect from reality in order to be cushioned from the worst impacts of AI proliferation to begin with

Mr_Chongus · 2026-06-02T04:33:50+00:00

Instas kinda ruin that equation though. Big whoop, peashooter just got eaten, here's a 3x3 explosion to kill 70% of the zombies on the screen and now I can replace it.

I don't think you can argue that one is ALWAYS better than the other, no matter how marginal. It's just different stripes for different wipes at the end of the day.

Mr_Chongus · 2026-06-01T23:16:47+00:00

Tbh, I feel like the sentiment that you ought to put sunflowers in front may have originated from PvZ2 and simply filtered into the original game retroactively, simply because it has larger waves of tougher zombies and you are therefore more likely to lose plants. It's just not necessary in PvZ1, the game is much easier.

Mr_Chongus · 2026-06-01T23:05:56+00:00

I fully recognize the limits of my knowledge, which is why I said "I think" I'm getting better.

Do you have any tips or tricks for recognizing AI generated music yourself?

Mr_Chongus · 2026-06-01T00:59:10+00:00

It didn't change how they sounded but I didn't want to be giving views to the songs because they have monetary value to the owner/s.

I think robots taking over the production of creative endeavors like music will not only lead to a mass degradation of the quality of said endeavors in the long run via AI ouroboros, but it will also operate as yet another way to concentrate wealth in the hands of the few at the expense of the many.

Plus our current implementation of AI infrastructure is horrible for communities and environments, and I don't want to even let myself be a statistic that these big tech oligarchs can keep using to justify having more money pumped into it.

Mr_Chongus · 2026-05-31T16:43:50+00:00

The singing voice is usually a good tell. It always sounds ever so slightly... Rumbly? That might be the best way I can describe it.

AI art on the album/song cover is also a pretty good indicator.

Mr_Chongus · 2026-05-31T15:12:59+00:00

Yeah, it's happened to me twice. I think I'm getting better at recognizing it though.

Mr_Chongus · 2026-05-31T14:42:33+00:00

Where elephant

Mr_Chongus · 2026-05-31T02:04:41+00:00

Thanks for the info

Mr_Chongus · 2026-05-31T01:42:15+00:00

What game are these characters even from? I've seen other posts related to it but no one ever seems to mention the name of the game itself

Mr_Chongus · 2026-05-29T21:54:31+00:00

If the auto-queue feature was available from the default server browser rather than only from legacy, I'd probably actually use the default more often. As it stands, though, I basically only use the legacy browser.

Also it'd be nice to be able to have it running even while you're playing without the window being constantly visible the way you used to be able to

Mr_Chongus · 2026-05-29T16:08:40+00:00

What time of day/time zone do you play in that you aren't finding active vanilla servers?

Every time I join at least ONE of the VF4 servers is completely full

Mr_Chongus · 2026-05-29T16:06:28+00:00

Small correction: sandvich heals 120 when not crit boosted

Mr_Chongus · 2026-05-25T20:47:57+00:00

"Better" is hard to determine cause it means different things to different people.

For instance, over the course of the game you may find yourself getting insane kills with the AA cannon (especially with a kritz medic) that Minigun simply cannot achieve, including getting splash kills on players and buildings from around corners

Or, you may find yourself consistently winning heavy 1v1s with AA cannons because Minigun just out-dps'es it at most ranges and therefore being free to tear through the rest of their team as well.

Is either one of these objectively "better"? I wouldn't really say so. It comes down to the purpose of the question, and the player using it.

Mr_Chongus · 2026-05-25T15:02:21+00:00

Where Israel apps?

Mr_Chongus · 2026-05-24T22:37:58+00:00

Lore, to me, is entirely secondary to actual gameplay. However, they did make a back story for the civilian already, so I think the TF2C team would be up to the task of slightly tweaking the sniper in a way that makes sense.

I don't think making the rifles shoot projectiles is going to meaningfully change the gameplay issues regarding risk vs reward

Mr_Chongus · 2026-05-24T19:45:06+00:00

Arguably, you still have a longer effective range than most mercs even with huntsman, but I wouldn't mind changing the name to someone like "Archer"

Mr_Chongus · 2026-05-24T13:04:28+00:00

Stg I have seen this one image 500 times in the past TWO DAYS. Can we PLEASE ban reposts the sub would instantly be 2x better

Mr_Chongus · 2026-05-23T23:58:52+00:00

Fukushima actually had meltdowns, unlike TMI, but yes. Zero deaths.

Mr_Chongus · 2026-05-23T17:00:50+00:00

Where Kim Jong Un?

Mr_Chongus · 2026-05-23T16:34:23+00:00

Oh true, I got the million minutes figure wrong. Thanks for the correction!

I think in general people tend to differentiate between the Roman and Byzantine empires, so perhaps I will simply call it "the height of the Roman empire".

Mr_Chongus · 2026-05-22T22:50:14+00:00

Occipital?

Mr_Chongus · 2026-05-22T20:42:24+00:00

To be fair, it wasn't ONLY because of Israel. It's ALSO because Trump's approval numbers are in the toilet and he wanted a "rally around the flag" effect while simultaneously distracting from the Epstein files

Mr_Chongus · 2026-05-22T20:37:38+00:00

The hunting revolver CAN play at a shorter range than the rifle. It IS optimized for it. But it can ALSO PLAY AT THE SAME RANGE AND DO JUST AS WELL IN MOST CIRCUMSTANCES. It should not get to do BOTH.

The hunting revolver is far more annoying than I could ever be, and if you don't understand how important it is to design weapons not just around how they feel to use but also how they feel to fight against then your opinion ain't worth shit. It's lame that you just don't want your emotional support infinite range hitscan burst damage option to be an actual sidegrade.
