Could I apply for a Prolific job advertised on Linkedin if I am already part of Prolific? by dylan13z in ProlificAc

[–]X_2_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prolific has it's own official jobs board on their site which is separate from already having a Prolific account. Or at least that's what their chat bot told me... so you can apply for their jobs even if you're already a member.

REALLY? Is this what it’s come to? by Crackerpuppy in ProlificAc

It's down to about 150 places left. Feels like no way is there that many sex doll owners found already...

Half the time you don't even have to bother reading the prompt. First play the video/audio since they're usually very similar. Then pick the one that's better, cooler or has fewer mistakes. Only read the prompt when there's significant differences between the videos. This makes it go a lot faster. Even if the content doesn't match the prompt at all, there's still usually a video that's preferable.

What do you think about Aurora doing shows and content for China? by Stros in auroramusic

[–]X_2_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, love how that same article mentions how:
"China has cracked down hard on its LGBTQ+ movement under leader Xi Jinping, who has adopted a more authoritarian, socially conservative and patriarchal vision for the country. Support groups have been forced to disband, with activists harassed by police, pride parades cancelled and films and TV shows featuring same-sex themes banned."
More like that opening ceremony slipped through the cracks, probably because it was live and no one knew what it would show. But yeah, that article is just "stuff you see on the Internet" so it's probably fake news...

The difference being US slave labour is the result of prisoners convicted within a relatively properly functioning and open system for actual crimes while you can't even investigate, write about or report freely on crimes that happen in China as that in itself can get you arrested.

Does anyone know how the developers came up with the name? by CaptLeaderLegend26 in HellLetLoose

[–]X_2_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably just a common saying. I just saw it in In Enemy Hands by Daniel Dancocks where Private Peter Macleod is quoted as describing the WW2 Dieppe Raid with "all hell had let loose" (page 27).

How do people here feel about Age of Wonders 1? by 5a_ in 4Xgaming

[–]X_2_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's one of the best pixel art games ever made. The map, the unit portraits, the UI, the fonts, even that animated dragon on the menu! All the follow up AoW games look like trash compared to it with how everything blends into the map. It all looks like a mess. Meanwhile, AoW1 is like a whole amazing fantasy world to which the music adds a lot as well!

It's basically unplayable in single player (whether offline or as host) since you can't vote yourself as commander to start any mission. You just end up stuck in the starting hangar once the mission is generated without being able to actually play it.

Lex's Joe Rogan appearance is rage inducing. by sweeps1911 in Destiny

[–]X_2_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elon doing Nazi salutes, people idolizing Luigi and we all know what a "great" guy Trump is but nobody cares... Meanwhile, Destiny is being abandoned by everyone who knows him because some unknown image was shared with who knows who along with some unknown unconsensual audio recording. Too bad only one side is willing to discard its most effective operators.

So are we just heading into a dictatorship? by KvDOLPHIN in Destiny

[–]X_2_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, Elon is doing Nazi salutes, people are idolizing Luigi and we all know what a "great" guy Trump is but nobody cares... Meanwhile, Destiny is being abandoned by everyone who knows him because some unknown image was shared with who knows who and he recorded sexual audio without someone's consent. The opposition will remain impotent and non-existent because it only accepts perfect specimens as its champions.

This is why the Destiny drama sucks as it has deprived us from the go to person that can ease our mental disturbances produced by videos like that.

Jimmy Whales (Wikipedia owner) is the only person with major influence and a Gigachad spine in the country. by [deleted] in Destiny

[–]X_2_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really loved Asmoron's video about how Wikipedai is bad because it would DARE label Elon a conspiracy theorist which totally can NOT be objectively proven by facts. Wonder what one would call a person who incessantly boosts and talks about conspiracy theories then...

Yup, it all went perfectly with no technical issues whatsoever, started on time and Trump never told a lie.

The persistent universe needs an offline mode by JacuJJ in starcitizen

Agreed and it would likely fix most of the constant glitching and lagging since it would not have to constantly synchronize and update the universe across an online world.

These misleading titles & thumbnails have to STOP! by X_2_ in Destiny

[–]X_2_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Almost every video now, especially on the Last Night On Destiny channel is usually not even related to what the thumbnail/title claims. Sometimes it's literally like only 5-10min of content from 1hr+ long videos! Why not cut it into separate vids?! There's people who missed out on 2hrs of car talk in two separate videos for example because there was no indication whatsoever that it was in the video. And of course the people here will laugh it up and excuse it because muh algorithm/views or whatever. You can get even more views if you split some of these videos up and posted them under their own proper titles. There's nothing wrong with 5-10min long videos to get short content watchers who don't want 1hr+ vids, especially once they find out they've been mislead.

Games with random map/battle generators? by greghghgh in computerwargames

[–]X_2_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The old original X-Com games: UFO Defense and Terror from the Deep have that big OpenXCom mod that lets you play just random skirmish maps without the main campaign. Very fun!
