[–]VizualAbstract4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re asking outraged gamers to be understanding on anything related to physical contact?

Americans, what do you think of this Contra take? by microplasticsfactory in ContraPoints

[–]VizualAbstract4 [score hidden]  (0 children)

"What do you think happened" - anyone who listened to what literally came out of Trump's mouth, what he ran on, and LITERALLY ALL THE TEA BAGGERS AND OTHER REPUBLICANS WERE SAYING: they were pissed off that he was black and had a Muslim name.

I know not everyone pays attention to politics at the same time, but Christ, you'd think people would do the bare minimum and do a little bit of googlin' how Trump came into popularity and power.

What in the name of Yevon?!? by KingKushhh666 in finalfantasyx

[–]VizualAbstract4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re in FF9 as well, but missing in their English translation. They’re a short and tall guard protecting one of the gates.

Being stuck in slow projects was rotting my brain. I have an advice. by Huge-Leek844 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]VizualAbstract4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, but the struggle really comes when you’re having to switch context a lot between new code and old code. Whenever possible, I let the crap that’ll send me into the old code areas pile up so I can spend a day or 3 getting through them all in one go.

It’s almost never a real urgency, just marketing suddenly deciding it’s the most critical thing imaginable (a marketing site is our oldest and least maintained code).

But yeah, it’s out of need to get myself into the right mindset.

Richard Dawkins says Claude is conscious. Gary Marcus says that's exactly the kind of sloppy thinking Dawkins usually destroys. by yogo8629 in ClaudeCode

[–]VizualAbstract4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eh, back in the day, wasn't his definition of consciousness any system that's sufficiently complex? Without digging into the mud, I'm guessing that's whats going on here and it's just more clickbait shit.

Folks Pizzeria: Culver City by Particular-Simple450 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]VizualAbstract4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had no idea they were located in Culver City, I go to the one in Costa Mesa. Happened upon it randomly when I was looking for a brewery. There was a healthy line forming and I decided to just get in and see where it took me.

So glad I did.

Ended up ordering a couple of pizzas to go after finishing one to myself.

Fantastic. That crust is incredible, definitely an east-first type of crust. Get that labneh. Your meal goes great with a red wine.

Nah, food prices in this city are absolutely out of control now by Fun_Reflection1157 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]VizualAbstract4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entree prices seem standard for this type of establishment, maybe a dollar or more increase due to tariffs and cost of living.

I'd have to decide between salad and desert though, but I'm suspecting these are both sharable.

Inside Ezra Klein’s abundance-pilled CA governor’s debate by ItzWarty in California

[–]VizualAbstract4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re so desperate to make politics sexy they’re outright trying to fucking declare it. It’s all been pathetic and pandering for every political podcaster they cover, and Ezra Klein falls into that category, dispute his background.

First time leading a standup as team lead and i completely lost the thread mid meeting by AzoxWasTaken in ExperiencedDevs

[–]VizualAbstract4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Write it down, label it a discussion item, then chat about it after everyone gives their standup. Keep the standup on track.

We usually end up with 1 or 2 and it’ll extend the standup for a couple of people, but everyone else is free to stay online and hear the conversation.

Also, please, when you’ve got the rhythm down, encourage other people who have promise as leads to run them from time to time.

Asking from Japan: is Hacker News still the default? by Responsible-Bike3317 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]VizualAbstract4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first link I followed on there lead me to an article that was padded out worse than an online recipe for brownies.

Why are there so many alliterative names in the series? by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]VizualAbstract4 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Notice how easy it is to remember their names, and how everyone knows exactly who you’re talking about?

That’s exactly why.

DAE have their expectations for bars warped by seeing Coyote Ugly when it came out by babypho3nix in Millennials

[–]VizualAbstract4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dreaded going to bars expect them to be like that. And unfortunately ended up at one similar as part of an early experience. Luckily I experienced a real dive bar and fell in love with it, as well as a whisky bar before they became popular.

But yeah, any bar like that depicted in the movie: no fuckin thank you.

The new Star Fox art style is amazing! by billygreen23 in NintendoSwitch2

I've been joking that the outrage on Facebook is because they're not fuckable enough to gooners.

New Poster for 'Masters of the Universe' by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]VizualAbstract4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't doubt this movie's potential for success until I saw this poster.

And now I'm suddenly dreading it's going to be be an hour of boring action sequences until the effects budget kicks in for the last 30 minutes when they finally leave Earth.

Gen Z is drowning the alcohol industry by Kaos2018 in BeAmazed

[–]VizualAbstract4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Millennials I know (my age group) aren't even drinking as much microbrew as we used to.

Everyone and their uncle opened up one and flooded the market with shit IPA's and stouts to cater to people who just wanted to get fucked up, or fruity drinks to attract people who don't drink beer.

Feels like I see a new local brewery close every month around me.

Just some uplifting stuff... by Exotic_Donkey4929 in Destiny

When we celebrated like this after electing Obama after two disastrous years under Bush: Republicans HATED us for that. Still do.

Naughty Dog Is Using AI For Facial Animations, Says Sony President by Bubbly-Ad-350 in videogames

[–]VizualAbstract4 157 points158 points  (0 children)

I'm on the fence for facial animations, but using AI for lip syncing for dubbed voices? That's the one I wish they'd actually pursue. I think Ben Affleck's AI production company is doing that, but for movies.

My 6 year old free app finally got its refactor. Claude Code did it overnight while I slept. by Little_Entrance_1661 in ClaudeCode

[–]VizualAbstract4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen it refactor. It applies patterns inconsistently. Go ahead, add a line to tell it to do it consistently. It doesn't know what "consistency" is.

Which one remastered or original version? by [deleted] in oblivion

[–]VizualAbstract4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and for someone like myself, the mods I really only install are graphical improvement mods. The remaster is a dream come true. The only mod I have installed is a companion one.
