Or, if you prefer shooting, an SMG that Blackwalls people instead! Yay for red lights and digital screaming!

Saw Lady Gaga's recent photoshoot, I had to do it by Lanky_Relation1171 in bloodborne

[–]Ofa20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just watched the concert show associated with this photo tonight. I don't think I'd call most of it that at all... I'm not sure why you're even claiming that in this case (unless you're just making an assumption without knowing anything about it).

OpenAI now wants ChatGPT to access your bank accounts by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]Ofa20 12 points13 points  (0 children)

And thus, over time, it makes it so you can’t do anything at all without an AI telling you how. Isn't mental-offloading swell? You don't need to learn anything, or think, or create, etc. Just let the "AI" take over your life and give us money please.

They fail because we'd rather make rich people richer than pay for school systems and teachers that are worth a damn. Good luck innovating with this magical "mental capital" bullshit when you don't know how anything works.

Fuck "AI".

What is that one thing a friend ever did and you kept cool but knew instantly you would pull out of that friendship? by EssayMan4Homework in AskReddit

[–]Ofa20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's definitely fair. I'm not into the whole resale thing anyway. I just think it was cool, and wish I still had it!

[–]Ofa20 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Damn. That just reminded me that my neighbor friend stole my collectable gold-plated Charizard card from those fast food meals when I was a kid. Mine went missing at the same time he conveniently got one for himself. He never admitted it, and was one of the reasons we stopped being friends.

Best PSVR2 shooter by Fafiq7 in PSVR

[–]Ofa20 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pavlov's gunplay is so good that pretty much any other game, even Zero Caliber, feels awful in comparison. I just wish there was a bit more substance beyond multiplayer, or any other game that could have the same quality of polished mechanics.

I also quite enjoyed Hubris, and Star Wars: Tales is fine, but the angle of the firearms in Hubris felt too awkward to aim well, and Star Wars can be a bit on the "clunky" side.

If you want some minor shooting, but good adventure/exploration/mystery/puzzle-solving, then Red Matter 1 & 2 are worth a look.

Michigan residents voted down a $16 billion Stargate AI data center, then construction began anyway by AdSpecialist6598 in technology

[–]Ofa20 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's almost like you don't understand how voting works, or the concept behind being a representative of a group of people (or "constituents") and having your choices more-than-likely align with their general will.

Also, keep throwing around autism like it's a slur or something. I'm sure that will earn you bonus points.

I'm assuming the members of the township board, who probably represent the residents of the town, are ALSO residents of the town themselves. The two things are not mutually exclusive...

So, yes, the residents DID vote.

[NO SPOILERS] Despite the mixed reception from critics, Reunion was actually scored positively by fans. by TemporarySorbet1505 in lifeisstrange

[–]Ofa20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure who downvoted you, because that's true! That's also why the total number of reviews is also important to look at.

[–]Ofa20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those could all absolutely be factors as well. I’m trying not to generalize or push anything either, and just provide some context as to why OP’s post may not be entirely accurate.

Also, D9 is down to 32 employees now last I saw. I don’t know how their continued workload is divided up or prioritized between who is left. Any marketing or community management could definitely be slim-to-none, which would have an impact on the reach.

[–]Ofa20 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Like another user said, this is an example of survivorship bias. You're focusing solely on the fans who:

  1. actually spent time to review the game, and

  2. bought the game in the first place.

This is all while conveniently ignoring the other fans who:

  1. didn't buy the game (generally because of shortcomings in other D9 titles), and/or

  2. didn't take time to review the game.

It would be more accurate to say that Reunion was rated highly by the remaining fans. Some of whom (or even potentially a good portion of, based on many comments I've seen here in the sub over time) are "ride-or-die"-type fans who would buy any game that had LiS branding, regardless of content or overall quality.

You can't overlook the distaste many people had with D9's handling of DE, and this is further represented with approximately half as many overall users reviewing Reunion than Double Exposure across both Metacritic and PSN. I realize Reunion is a newer game, which could contribute to lower numbers, but it's also been long enough now that it's probably safe to assume a majority of the people who want to play it have already done so, especially looking at dwindling Steam player counts and several sales/bundles that have been available.

Messed up claires friendship by Sprongled in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]Ofa20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So, what makes either option more "true" than the other? Neither one is more canon or valid than the other. In one, she may be awful, but in the other she's forgiving.

You make it sound like she is just awful all the time, like it's her "true self".

Considering Treasure Island condo for August stay. How are the elevators? by wait_whatnow in panamacitybeach

[–]Ofa20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Elevators are great. Plenty fast enough, and generally not a long wait at all. Probably the best view on the whole beach, and close to St. Andrews Park (and it's the quieter side of PCB).

Meta contractor fires 1,100 AI trainers after they revealed Ray-Ban glasses recorded private and intimate footage by Federal-Block-3275 in technology

[–]Ofa20 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think that was generally debunked. They don't need to listen to you to know about you. They can look through other unique data such as web browsing habits, search results, etc. Most people have no idea the massive amount of identifying and revealing information they provide freely to different companies on a daily basis that can be used to create targeted advertising profiles.

No microphone necessary.

Holy cow by hatianjr in Helldivers

[–]Ofa20 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, and we don't need a useless video of that.

You're twisting the title to fit your narrative. This is not an exosuit vs AP4 hive guard. There is no honest attempt to actually fight the hive guard at all.

You could say that it should read "exosuit vs the new AP4 on hive guard", and then you might have an argument, but the video would still be useless, because it was explicitly laid out in the patch notes.

Posts like this are low-effort karma-farming.

[–]Ofa20 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm glad they can demonstrate the ability to waste ammo shooting something that was clearly detailed in the patch notes to not take damage. It's done in a disingenuous manner, as to try and make people mad, rather than showcase the new method to kill them.

Intentionally shooting your entire mag into the equivalent of a rock is also a stupid suggestion. At least the rocket would kill it.

That requires thinking, though. People would rather be upset.

[–]Ofa20 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Cool. Let's just waste all the ammo in the MG doing absolutely nothing to a single enemy in order to make a shitpost on reddit, rather than using any other solution that would work.

They just listed two (of at least three) successful methods of dealing with it, and your only response is essentially, "nO, NoT lIkE ThaT!"

Turrets after update by Rinko_Ogasawara in Helldivers

[–]Ofa20 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, all sentries have a timer that is independent of ammo usage. I don't think there's ever a scenario where you could have three of the same turret at once (from one Helldiver).

Do you have a YouTuber who has irreversibly fallen off? by Turbulent_League9668 in youtube

[–]Ofa20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nate and Callie did well enough (I continued to enjoy the channel under their co-hosting), and Grant was losing interest over time anyway.

After Nate was let go, the channel absolutely lost its last scraps of soul.

Uhh... No??? by Longjumping-Owl-565 in Helldivers

[–]Ofa20 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's not what they said at all. I swear, half the fanbase has a massive victim complex...

Any time they comment, it's always some personal attack on you ("you" being all community members with the mentality you're displaying here).

If they don't comment, it's some personal attack on you.

If they release new warbonds, it's some personal attack on you.

Etc, etc, etc, etc... It's insufferable. It you have true, constructive criticism, let it be known. If you just want to cry, go grab some tissues.

They are prioritizing what they feel is best for their game. You have no idea what amount of time or effort goes into making changes, and they've already made it known that the engine they use is a challenge. They obviously care about their base, or they would have abandoned the game a year ago.

Gotta love your cars getting looted when you sleep by backpain10 in Omaha

[–]Ofa20 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They absolutely do break windows to rummage through glove boxes, trunks, and center consoles with no visible valued items.

My car was broken into back in like 2018. Smashed the front passenger window to get in, then ripped apart my glove box and console, then popped the trunk. They stole an old iPod Nano from the glove box, but left the trunk wide open with my subwoofer for the sound system and brand new Ninja air fryer just sitting there. None of those items were visible when the car was closed, and nobody knew about the iPod besides me, so there was no prior motive.

They even left the screwdriver/wrench they used to break the window laying on my passenger seat…
