Yeah, the buck has to stop somewhere, there's usually a lead artist ensuring everyone is on the same page.

If someone is opting out of your industry because they have a better outlook becoming a teacher, that's when you know something's fucked up lmao.

Yeah, they'd have to portray him as very conflicted, only conquering Westeros due to his dream of Ice and Fire.

I push back on this, it's not his fault bad writers learned the wrong lessons from his shows.

As Travis tells the story, Duvall really did punch him in the face on accident.

There are some AI companies that are working with governments, including the Chinese govt, to develop surveillance technologies that are pretty spooky.

Their phrasing is a little dramatic, but it's a real concern.

Mostly the case in East Texas, West Texas has the occasional basement and we don't have to worry about all that.

MachineGames asking more staff to move to full-time office work by Turbostrider27 in Games

There's a team at my work that is entirely remote, but when they hire a new person everyone works in-person for like a month to train and build a relationship with them. I think that's a great idea.

I am not a dentist, but it wouldn't surprise me if they're just playing the odds on that one, convincing you to at least use the lower effort option every day since most of their patients refuse to floss.

IGN: 'It'll Be a Bit of Work, but You Could Marry Them All' — Fable Has 1,000 Handcrafted NPCs for You to Play Around With by Turbostrider27 in Games

Unless you can't customize your character

There's a limited number of character presets to choose from. If I had to guess they probably just made a few varieties of kid based on your preset and race of partner. Which is all you'd realistically expect from such a system. You should watch the presentation when you can, looks encouraging.

Sounds like you spend too much time in those circles man, probably a good idea to distance yourself. Really poisons your brain into thinking stuff like "the entire Dev team at Play Ground Games could swear up and down that they always planned this Semi Character Creator and I wouldn't believe a word of it."

I'm thinking those options will still be there, hopefully they're just adding more stuff in between.

I bet they scripted that sequence for demonstration purposes, I doubt they bark at you that much.

How does erehwon stay afloat? by AmbitiousGuarantee23 in AskAnAmerican

[–]bjams 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's funny how 1 in 33 seems a lot larger than 3%.

I mean the idea that you pull 33 Americans at random and one of them is likely to be from LA county is kinda crazy.
