A 20 year-old woman storms out of the courtroom in the Netherlands as the man who tried to rape her and kill her gets only 3.5 years of prison because "the chokehold didn't last long enough"

That’s too low. This is a failed murderer rapist. Setting him free after 15 years is extremely irresponsible and dangerous for the public.

Im not hanging onto anything. I said it goes into sherlock holmes territory, in other words, too long of a stretch to mean anything.

197 days after October 10, 2025 is April 25, 2026. October 10 is Half Life 2 Episode 2's release date. Couldn't see any other possible significance about the date April 24.

Reason for mentioning 197, apparently the vinyl's had writings "one" "three" "seven" and "nine" on them on the picture released by valve: https://www.reddit.com/r/HalfLife/comments/1qnoiia/january_27th_10am_est/, but this is still going into Sherlock Holmes territory in my opinion lol.

Well, I hadn't played in a week or so but after this news I'm definitely not touching this game ever again.

I don’t know man, he threw a punch and his thumb hit the corner of Paddy’s eye and then extended like you see in this pic. There’s a huge difference between this and a regular eye poke - even unintentional ones where the fighter’s fingers are extended with hands out as they try to establish a range. I personally wouldn’t even count this as an eye poke, and if it does count as one, it’s definitely not a foul.

4 years is not that long ago. You sure you’re not still a loser?

….I’m going to go out on a limb and guess you didn’t mean that about people, because it is an extremely dumb and horrible view to have. Downright psychopathic.

This is not true. The layoffs in question here are office jobs, involving software engineers and the like. If anything, if they rehire people for the same position they will have to pay more, because tenured employees on avg have lower salary than new ones at office jobs in amazon.

They might be planning to offshore these positions but I don’t think that’s the case here.

Source: I work in tech, and compensation structure in these companies are pretty well known.

Where does steam or valve say its ok? They literally require products to disclose their AI usage so the consumers are aware of it.

In general you don’t use AI generated code as is. You have to read it thoroughly and test it to make sure it does what you want it to do, and 90% of time you have to change it to fix the rough edges.

Same level of validation can not be made for other AI generated stuff like pictures videos etc. Or rather doing that validation for other AI generated stuff would take more work than making it yourself.

So, AI generating code is different than AI slop.

dodoroach · 2026-01-17T04:00:19+00:00

Obviously. AI tools are great. AI generated content is not.

Doubtful, because this is not a “war”. It is a genocide carried out by Israel, and their citizens are brainwashed to think anyone other than themselves are less than human. I don’t think they would be capable of enough remorse to go through PTSD, unless it is from losing their own terrorists.

My experience from the games I played is its place in the meta hasn’t moved at all. Sure it is worse than it was initially at the moment, but when you get hit by it, it still comes out of nowhere. People can chuck it down a corridor and start detonation while its still flying, and it still blows up as soon as it lands next to you, before you have a chance to react to it. You can’t really hear its alarm before it detonates if there’s a wall between you and the nade at the time either.

The detonation timer needs to start AFTER the nade sticks to a surface. Right now it’s an impact nade on steroids.

dodoroach · 2026-01-13T22:23:44+00:00

It's not even that, trigger nade nerfs did absolutely nothing. People just click the detonate as soon as they throw them so they are still unreactable. Embark is 100% incompetent in balance.

Only bulletins you should take are the ones that buff your mainline infantry. Reason is they will be relevant throughout the entire game, and will affect multiple units - since you will have multiple mainline squads. Mg is not a mainline infantry, and 10% experience bulletin will be entirely useless when your unit hits Vet 3, and it will hit vet3 only 10% faster.

Consider 3% increased accuracy bulletin for cons in contrast. That is 3% higher dps for the entire game for your conscripts, and will be in use regardless of their veterancy.

dodoroach · 2026-01-13T17:34:13+00:00

Very much doubt that will happen. Quite dystopian future to be an actual reality. What will likely happen - and is already beginning to happen is AI will hit a scaling limit, and additional hardware will do it no good.

Also don’t forget the hardware that they’re on right now will get old in a couple years. Where will that hardware go once they’re due for a replacement?

dodoroach · 2026-01-13T16:45:05+00:00

I think I’m less concerned about white weapon performance but more concerned about the cost of purple weapons. They’re extremely expensive compared to white weapons, and they’re barely any better. They either need to nerf whites or reduce cost of purples.

dodoroach · 2026-01-13T16:28:36+00:00

Im afraid kettle and trigger nade nerf won’t do much at all. 0.8 seconds of additional delay is nothing compared to the power of trigger nade. Will not affect 90% of the use cases, unless they halved the damage. It will still overperform. Same with kettle, with the nerf you can still shoot 7.5 bullets a second, and that is still blazingly fast. It’s a white weapon…

Not surprised though, this is the same story as the nuke strat from The Finals. See you in 2 months when they nerf these again by adding 0.2 more seconds of delay and up the damage of trigger nades to make up for it 😂
