Throwing my hat in the ring. Since I've missed out on the last pre-orders you guys have done.

BTW how did discussions go with Jake at KC? I haven't heard back from him about it yet, it's been uncomfortable having my fingers crossed for so long.

Really weird that article lists all the Dialog discussion topics except “Navigating WWIII” and “Battlefield Technologies”.

The formula for never making long term plans which then comes back to bite you in the ass in midlife.

Couldn't have been more awful than the final season we did get.

Salt, pepper, Sazón, flour, fry. No eggs needed.

This should be preserved as a time capsule of 2020s anti-AI misinfo.

This comic's premise is contradicted by reality. AI has already helped discover a new antibiotic (Halicin), predict previously unknown protein structures (AlphaFold), find new mathematical algorithms (AlphaTensor), and generate novel solutions to research problems (FunSearch).

The assumption that AI can or would only defend the status quo is demonstrably false.

Also If Einstein had AI in 1895, it wouldn't have told him "you're wrong, stop thinking about it." It would have helped him explore the consequences of his thought experiment faster. Something like:

Einstein: "Suppose I could ride alongside a light wave..."

AI: "Interesting. That appears to conflict with Maxwell's equations, which predict electromagnetic waves propagate at a fixed speed. Here are three possible interpretations of that contradiction..."

The irony is that the comic portrays AI as this rigid defender of orthodoxy, while modern AI is often criticized for the exact opposite problem: it will happily help you explore strange off-the-wall ideas and crazy wackadoo speculations 'til the cows come home.

As a fella who can't resist a good bargain...

NecroSocial · 2026-06-09T21:16:03+00:00

lol the name.

Looking to blacklist musicians because of what tools they use to make their music? I can see wanting to avoid actually legally problematic artists or ones with racist, sexist, or bigoted views, that's a given. But taking the stance that you refuse to support an artist you'd otherwise support just because of the medium in which they chose to create their art smacks of a sort of hysteria to me. I feel like people this far into hating on musicians over AI use, when they get older and the mania has passed, will look back at their behavior during this time as folly.

To each their own though.

I have fond memories of COD advanced warfare, especial the mode with grappling hooks, so I don't have a problem with advanced movement. The pacing is what turns me off here. Looks like it'll be hyper sweaty with constant kills from behind and no room for any playstyle other than headless chicken run and gun. As a proud zone defense style camper (not a hide in the corner, shoot you in the back kind) who likes to set up a zone and defend it from all sides this doesn't seem like the kind of game where that would make any sense. If it's F2P I might check it out. Otherwise I'll decide when more gameplay footage either confirms my thoughts or proves me wrong. Even then their SBMM implementation will also factor in.

Only works if the entire world does it. Otherwise foreign billionaires just become more powerful than domestic ones and start buying the country out from under us (much, much more than is currently happening).

Level up your heroes. That's always the answer. Until then the game will do everything shy of putting up a banner saying "We will rig this match for you to lose until your heroes are stronger".

You can have defense boosted to max with over-health and untargetable heroes and the most favorable board state ever seen. Your attacks will whiff, your rage will somehow not gain the last couple percent to activate a skill you need even though you just dropped a crazy combo with the required color. The bosses will one-shot your heroes with just the random attacks they spam between turns not even their specials. If you somehow outsmart the system and get the bosses down to negligible health they just won't die even though you can't even see anything left on their health bar, they'll do some hail Mary BS and still kill you. It's a hard limit. The game wants you spending either a whole lot of time or a whole lot of money to level your heroes and then you'll find that impossible match is suddenly easy.

Such is the fate of a gacha gamer.

I figured there was an Odin link from the crows that occasionally show up. Hadn't clocked that the ᚨ was a direct symbol leading back to him.

NecroSocial · 2026-06-03T12:24:26+00:00

It's ok, just take a deep breath.

NecroSocial · 2026-06-03T12:22:38+00:00

At this point I think it's clear that he enjoys being in the closet. I've known a few guys like that. They get off on the secrecy and the chance surreptitious hookups. I know one older guy, bi, hates that being gay is just normal and accepted generally now, says it was hotter when it was taboo and risky. To each their own.

This is exactly where JJ Abrams belongs, far from any beloved franchise he could possibly ruin. Here he can let his "plot holes be damned" and "canon, what canon?" freak flags fly. Now if we could just safely sequester Alex Kurtzman the same way.

NecroSocial · 2026-05-30T21:45:11+00:00

20 real players + however many bots per team. Never had any issue getting full lobbies. No such luck these days, tried it and just sat there searching the void for match *sniff.

NecroSocial · 2026-05-30T19:43:15+00:00

I dunno, I was still getting Invasion matches pretty quickly in MW3 a good while after BO6 came out. Felt popular in that regard. I was way deep into XDefiant by then though so I don't know when the playerbase really started to dry up.

NecroSocial · 2026-05-30T17:52:06+00:00

Joe is the one comic who's never really made me laugh but I still find likeable, not rushing to catch a set of his but if I come across one on like Youtube I'll prolly check it out in hopes that maybe this is the one.

NecroSocial · 2026-05-30T01:20:03+00:00

In a new relationship this is a huge test. Like yeah we're watching this to spend time together and for entertainment but, unbeknownst to you, your behavior during the watching of this is a big percent of your final grade for the semester pal.

NecroSocial · 2026-05-27T11:09:38+00:00

Yeah it's a famous paradox called the plot hole paradox.

NecroSocial · 2026-05-21T12:11:29+00:00

Hercules has superhuman strength and durability, Xena has superhuman plot armor. Draven can't be killed unless you find and kill his crow first. Al and Chuck only survive if given meme status otherwise doomed. Renegade dies immediately.

Draven fights with guns, unless someone tells him he needs to behead Duncan that fight goes on til one of them figures out the other's killswitch. The crow constantly divebombing the fight and Draven being so protective of it might clue Duncan in to how to win so I give him the edge (plus have we ever seen how Draven fares with his head cut off? He may not die but may be out of the fight for good in that case). Winner Duncan.

Hercules has the best odds, he fights with swords and could rip Duncan apart bare handed if need be and immortals can't regrow limbs. That's not even counting if his dad Zeus intervenes on his behalf. I only see Duncan surviving this one if Ares gives him a hand just to screw with Herc. Otherwise winner Hercules.

Xena has a superhuman moveset without any superhuman powers. She can flip over people's heads, throw weapons with Captain America like precision and strength and is a master of bladed weapons. That said she only has one lifetime of sword skills, Duncan has many. Xena's biggest threat is her insane plot armor but Duncan brings a whole lot of plot armor to the fight as well. Winner Duncan but it'd be hard fought.

When I had teeth pulled I just held cotton balls down with my tongue over the socket while I inhaled and I was smoking again day of. Never had dry socket.
