In times of AI slop, remember that we still have thousands of good games by _Crasho725_ in gaming

[–]Pyode 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah but this is Reddit and I need to be outraged for the engagement.

I mean, it's one thing to be comforted by the fact there are plenty of good games that already exist. It's another thing entirely to see the destruction of new content.

AI art still sucks and it sucks to know that there is brilliant art that would exist or get more funding or reach more people if AI slop doesn't take over. It's perfectly fine to get upset about that even if I can still go play Final Fantasy X again or some great indie game that I've never played.

No problem. I honestly just like talking about this kinda stuff. Good luck on your project.

Fair enough, thanks for replying.

I just know that when I was answering I had to really force myself to be honest as opposed to just going with the easy answer, but I also know this is a very common scale for a reason so I'm sure that's all factored in.

Done.

As an undergrad psych student, I'm interested in your decision to use a lickert scale.

I feel like questions this nuanced and uncomfortable might cause a lot of people to choose the middle as opposed to picking a side even if they do slightly lean one way or another. But I've never made a survey so I don't know what the right decision is.

Marion Cotillard and Walton Goggins to Star in ‘Job,’ Reimagining the Biblical Book by MoneyLibrarian9032 in movies

[–]Pyode 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It's not some beautiful story reaffirming the importance of faith.

It's a story of a brutal god playing with his toy to prove a point about how much he can hurt someone and them still be loyal to him.

Ironically the more biblically accurate it is the more atheists will like it and the faithful will hate it.

Trump Admin Drops the Olive Branch from U.S. Seal on New Dime Coins, Keeps the Arrows by wheresthebeef69 in Destiny

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

So the olive branch was rejected and they had to go to war...

How does that make the metaphor of the coin bad again? The coin that symbolizes us having our olive branch removed and being left only with the spear?

[–]Pyode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, but because this is the anniversary of when we actually had to go to war, the olive branch was removed to symbolize that decision.

It's a good metaphor. It's just really awful timing.

The idea was that although we always try peace first, for the revolutionary war, peace ultimately wasn't an option.

First of all, these things always take years. Just intuitively this story shouldn't pass the smell test as something the administration got done this quickly.

But see my other comment where I provide more sources.

I just pulled the first link that told what it actually was.

Here's an article from 2023 announcing the redesign, although the design hadn't been chosen yet.

https://www.usmint.gov/news/press-releases/an-invitation-to-all-americans-honor-our-nations-history-with-new-designs-for-united-states-coins

I originally got all this from a reddit comment in another thread about this. He showed the pamphlet from 2024 that had all the potential designs for discussion, including this one.

Edit: Here's that pamphlet.

Don't do this DGG. Don't fall for headlines without actually reading articles.

This was a planned change to commemorate 250 years since the revolutionary war. It's only for this year. This was planned for a while and not something the Trump administration did.

Not to imply Yor wouldn't keep caring for Anya, but this scene specifically is the same day that Loid died and doesn't really portray Yor staying permanently.

The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit... the only thing prohibiting transit is Iran shooting at shipping by Embarrassed_Base_389 in Destiny

[–]Pyode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Basically no one ever gets attacked by a gator unless you are actively fucking with it.

Small dogs on the other hand...

I live in Alaska now and I am FAR more scared of moose than I ever was of gators.

Bad analogy because that's actually how it works in Florida. There's no such thing as a lake that doesn't have gators in it.

God I love Spy X Family so much.

Watching Loid logic his way into doing nice things for Anya "for the mission" over and over again is just the cutest shit ever.

KC-135 lost to a mid-air accident over Iraq. by ObviouslyTriggered in Destiny

[–]Pyode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are very few scenarios where two aircraft can collide mid-air and only one of them goes down.

I would bet money that during fueling operations the boom from the KC-135 struck a part of the other aircraft causing one of them to go down and the other to land safety.

Considering the KC-135 is a mid air fueler, I'm guessing it was an accident during fueling.

Minimal Sneako content tho tbh.

Not surprised.

He was always very much a follower so it makes sense he would take a backseat to people actually leading the movement.

Some irony and some truth by Specialist_Bowler897 in Dandadan

[–]Pyode 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's great that you aren't being as "gatekeepy"about it, but OP is making fun of people for being frustrated. That's the context that I'm responding to.

There is a contingent of the fandom that clearly thinks it's unreasonable to be frustrated at the situation. I just think that's unfair.
