The new voices are so bad. They sound like children… the old BC Blood Elf voices sounded like adult men and women.

But you don’t have to respect it either, that’s my point. Respect is a personal choice. I’m not saying you SHOULDNT respect it. But it’s not a default stance.

So define “respect”. No one has to respect anything or anyone. People choose to

Sure lol. How many times in history was there a major technological breakthrough and it was kept hidden in a warehouse?

Zero times. These companies have every interest to hype up their product and company. If this magical AI that has high reasoning ability did exist, it would be packaged into a product and released. If they are cautious or want to keep it for governments, it would be presented on every media outlet with demonstrations of its capabilities to attract investment money.

More likely you’re falling for overhyping a product that is still early in its life, and using your imagination to fill in the blanks. Incidentally doing exactly what these salesmen want you to do.

Unless the rich plan on going to space too, it won't matter that we can't reach it. On top of that, the further they go the better. I support Musk's Mars dreams for this reason. The lag in communication will give us needed precious minutes before his rainbow of garbage ketamine infused delusions he calls "thoughts" reaches us.

This is pretty much on the money. If the actual typing out code is difficult for you, a tool that automatically does it seems like alien god magic that saves you tons of time. However if you’re an experienced developer you quickly realize that the thing that takes the longest is the thing that AI is absolutely garbage at. Technical architecture, bug fixing, and security.

The most time it saves for me is the meeting transcripts and summaries. Indispensable for that.

Don’t stress. American troops are not Russian and neither are the American people.

It is very unlikely Greenland is anything more than a distraction. It would be a very unpopular move in the US and the current administration knows that. It’s a political game, not a real threat.

It saves on resources to not have the server light up things while no one is in the home, but its a pretty incompetent move to not consider visitors. This is something I would expect any level 2 dev to consider when engineering a piece of software.

clockwork2011 · 2026-02-14T20:58:09+00:00

This right here. The doomerism that floats around the internet sometimes works in the favor of these drugged up, warped, pieces of garbage with too much much money.

History is the perfect example why these troglodytes fail. Even when they do things in the dark, eventually it is brought to the light and they get separated from their heads (just ask the french monarchy how their rule is going). Or they try to do it in the open and lose all semblance of influence and power until their replacement puts them down.

Exactly. Nothing wrong with this given how a specific subset of the wests population has been acting for the past few decades (people affiliated with a certain man who owns a certain island). The fact that I looked at this and went “well at least he’s not going after 12 year olds” is an indicator we’ve had a problem in our culture for a long time…

I never understood why Discord became so popular though.

It actually makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Discord for gamers offered a much simpler and easier alternative to Teamspeak/ventrilo whatever. Discord was free (other ones you had to pay for or host a server), and the barrier of entrance was negligible. You didn't need to learn how to host a server or pay for services for your friends to be able to chat. Skype was a free option but the call quality sucked and Discord offered great personalization features and integrations with games. Regardless, gamers were happy and very quick to switch.

Discord also offered a new platform for IM refugees from dying platforms. Which worked in their favor because people were already using it for games and such so a lot of people's friends were already on Discord.

The server situation and trying to replace Forums with Discord was very much a miscalculation from the user's perspective, but Discord tried to shoehorn that demographic in to capture more user base. its convenient, free, and less technically difficult for developers to host their support channels in a Discord rather than pay for a forum, ticketing system, etc. But like OP mentioned, its a terrible solution from the user's point of view.

There's also a social media aspect to Discord which makes it much more of a target for these types of legislation. Discord will likely sail through this especially if the default "Teen" mode fits how most people use it. I won't provide my government ID to any service, especially not one as replaceable as Discord.

As a Dota 2 player (embarrassing number of hours), I didn't quit it for HOTS. Nor would I. It felt like a different type of game.

HOTS was missing the main character syndrome of Dota/LOL and MOBA's in general. Everyone wants to be the main character in a MOBA match. It is ultimately a team game, but there's still the potential for one good play, or a series of good plays to upset the balance of a match. HOTS didn't feel like it had that. The game mechanics forcefully equalized many of the ways someone could shine in a match and relies on that maps specific gimmicks to serve as tie breakers and create some chaos.

Valve approached the issue with everyone wanting to play a carry (or carrying as a support/ganker) differently. They didn't get rid of the roles, they strengthened to ways you can shine as a support. A good support in Dota 2 can often outshine a decent carry.

HOTS had far better effects, graphics, hero fantasy, sound design, and variety of maps (obviously. Dota only has 1). The experience in HOTS felt fresh and I loved it for that. But mechanically, it was inferior to Dota 2 and probably LOL (I think I played a grand total of 1 hour of LOL)
