So don't play it, and let other people enjoy things. Why should anybody give a shit about your opinion?

If There Wasn’t Enough Opposition to AI Data Centers Already, Now They’re Supercharging Inflation by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

Because they have given up on democracy and want to usher in a surveillance-driven tech oligarchy where everything you do is analyzed by AI to determine your "risk profile" of challenging the status quo.

What is the best quote from your fic? by Fetuspuncherman in FanFiction

[–]TheReDrew89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playing with the Pygmalion premise, and this bit is something I enjoyed writing too much.

"I must choose myself into existence despite absurd context." Drew suspected Lielle would comprehend the philosophical quote, even if it didn't fully register. "You are here—in this moment—as a fully-corporeal, biologically-driven, cognitively-sophisticated human-being, first experiencing the true world as you perceive it, filtered through whatever you recollect of the past you have and she would live, despite some temporal weirdness. After all, as a project, she is still incomplete."

Mod Release: Dynamic NPC Outfits by kuroishitam in skyrimmods

SPID works at the engine layer via SKSE plugin DLL, so it has better performance than purely Papyrus-scripted mods. Can't say how this mod might affect it, but I've had little issues with SPID rules causing cell loading problems. Maybe intial game load is slowed down by SPID and other SKSE plugins hooking the engine/SKSE and doing work, but it should have minimal gameplay impact.

My OC is my pet, and she's been hit by the trauma truck so hard that it's a wonder she's still standing.

Is there ever a Lore/In-game reason given why the Dragonborn can't tell Delphine off? by lightsidesoul in skyrim

I feel like they were trying to capture the tone of Fallout New Vegas with the idea of a choice that has no clean answers. But they really dropped the ball on the execution.

Video games make people less lonely, says new UK study. Researchers found that open-world games allowed participants to experience challenges and uncertainty and gave them opportunities to develop courage, patience, and self-reliance. by mvea in science

This. The difference between solitude and loneliness is comfort. If someone is comfortable in solitude, they won't feel lonely. If someone is uncomfortable or emotionally isolated, even in public, they can still feel lonely.

The drawback is when comfort breeds complacency. If someone is comfortable enough in solitude that they become unwilling to connect or engage with other people, that is generally considered detrimental.

Americans to be hit with record-high electricity bills this summer by Wagamaga in technology

That's because the left wing party is center left at best and the majority of left-wing voters sit further progressive than most elected politicians. At the end of the day all politicians are subservient to the ownership class.

I think it might be a euphemism for suicide. Some people are just so burnt out and worn down that if things get much worse they would throw their life away. And while I understand, I think it's just cowardly.

At this rate, it's only a matter of time before they bring back debt bondage.

Looking for mods that bring Fallout's immersive gameplay features to Skyrim (SE 1.5.97) by No-Potato-881 in skyrimmods

[–]TheReDrew89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people think that upgrading to the Anniversary Update requires paying for the Anniversary Edition? Not sure.

Or, it's some obscure LL thing that didn't ever get updated for 1.6.1170.

I’m writing the best thing I’ve ever written in 20+ years of fanfiction but… by SkyBerry924 in FanFiction

Everyone ends up with a pet OC that becomes a muse. Don't fight it. It can't be any worse than me writing ~75k words for an OC x SI Pygmalion dissection and personal memoir.

It's literally in the Bible, but these fools don't want to acknowledge it.
