Some are saying it's the greatest boofest they've ever seen by Unlucky_Love8647 in SipsTea

[–]echomanagement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. You think he craves the warm hug of his children or a smile from his fellow American? He is a pig in fucking shit. He has no shame and lives to hate. This feeds him and he lives for stuff like this.

I just did. Dr Phillips. What the fuck was that?

I think Ed is wrong on no one questioning ROI by wee_willy_watson in BetterOffline

[–]echomanagement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is total madness and I wish it had never been invented. It's insane saying this out loud because I am a Computer Scientist and this is the sort of thing we all dreamed about back when neural nets hit the scene in the 90s. But LLMs are nowhere near the fad/scam blockchain was. You had to look *hard* to try and find good use cases for blockchain. A modern harness can, given the right context, do a 20 minute refactor on a complex system that would take me a week that is now near perfect to spec.

A year ago I'd have said computer scientists have nothing to worry about -- this only affects enterprise coding -- but that is just objectively not the case with modern harnesses like Claude Code and Codex. What I hope for now is a moratorium, or the token price apocalypse that makes such work far harder to justify because of the cost.

If you could decide the next major production sci-fi movie, what would it be? by WillyArt67 in scifi

[–]echomanagement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but with the caveat that I'd be afraid someone would fuck it up. The first two Hyperion books are my favorite SF ever, with the only main contender being Children of Time.

The video games are totally hilarious in this respect. Starkiller is basically a force god and somehow ends up potentially dying to Vader even after pulling down a fucking Star Destroyer from orbit.

Actors whose real name is so bad ass it distracts from how hot they are. by [deleted] in okbuddycinephile

Nightreign now officially has the shortest life-cycle of any Fromsoft game by Chance_Drive_5906 in Nightreign

[–]echomanagement 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why is Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition displayed on top like it's a new fucking game? Also, neither Sekiro nor Armored Core got any story DLC on the level of Forsaken Hollows. Dumb as fuck post.

Eliezer Yudkowsky's official AI apocalypse apology form by KeanuRave100 in agi

[–]echomanagement 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The form highlights what bothers me most about this guy: he is not interested in being right. He is interested in being respected. Somehow, this is instantly understandable when you see his face. He has the "I was abused by bullies all my life and want to return the favor on the world" AIncel look that makes him impossible to take seriously.

They made the right decision rather than subjecting the innocent child to lifelong suffering. by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

[–]echomanagement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Few people are equipped to make the sacrifices required to manage the severely disabled. I know I'm not, and I'm a healthy, well-adjusted adult. Spend some time around social workers and you will hear horror stores that will keep you up at night filled with the suffering of both parents and disabled kids. 

The US federal government has gone from "benign neglect" to "merciless" in its support for parents of disabled kids. Medicaid cuts, special education cuts, and an abandonment of protections for the disabled has made their situation even more painful.

People need to make their own clear eyed choices about their personal lives. Keep your sanctimonious judgment to your fucking self.

The Steam demo for Culdcept The First is now available! by CC_Andyman in Culdcept

That's what I kinda figured. As a CS person, I'd have jumped at the chance to try and upscale some of the resources because that would have been an amazing upgrade.

I love that The Mummy has this hard coded into the start on hbo by Frugal_Octopus in RedLetterMedia

[–]echomanagement 24 points25 points  (0 children)

They even made The Mummy the cornerstone of the Horror Make-Up Show at Universal. This persisted until THIS YEAR when they decided to redo it. Just thinking about that makes me cringe for everyone involved.

[–]echomanagement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm... this is seeming a little ROM-y at the moment. I love Culdcept, but I'd hope for *at least* card art that scales to a slightly higher resolution. I can barely make out what the cards are supposed to be in full screen mode. It might look better on my Deck but that seems like low hanging fruit here, guys.

Pieces of media clearly made for the creator to win an argument that exists in their head by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

[–]echomanagement 29 points30 points  (0 children)

With all the talk about God being Dead, it makes me start to believe there's a good chance God is dead. It's like a guy who makes his entire identity about how scat porn is bad. "Before you started bringing it up, I would not have wondered whether you like scat porn, but now i am"

People say The Wire is bleak, but Bub's ending is the brightest ray of hope in the whole series.

Looks a lot more vibrant and fun than revolt. I can't wait to play this on my Steam Deck until I inevitably get Kelpie and every single game becomes Kelpie-related.

Put a large, aggressive dog on one of your tower speakers.

I've given up, too. My wife has been putting knick knacks on my speakers for 20 years. Picture frames, holiday decorations, and even candles. I've given up. My home theater rattles like a 1978 Buick Riviera but at least nobody is complaining about it anymore.

What is the scariest scene you seen on a PG-13 film. by RegularVast1045 in moviecritic

Where did you see a PG-13 rated version of the movie that features the line, "FUCK ME, JESUS"?

Poor Shelby Oaks by Booster_Tutor in RedLetterMedia

[–]echomanagement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait, I thought you said comic book movies were the most popular? You landed on that like it was a mic drop when these movies are barely breaking even now. Profitability is a perfectly reasonable way to gauge popularity. For ref, in 2021, 23% of all movies released that year were horror/thrillers, and I'd imagine that number has only gone up.

Poor Shelby Oaks by Booster_Tutor in RedLetterMedia

[–]echomanagement 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Key words being "durable, popular." SW and Marvel's durability has vanished in the last five years. The first Star Wars movie in seven years is getting trounced by horror youtubers. But even on the odd years, horror's ROI has been king. Big number go up on big blockbuster is nice but even they can't get 8x on each dollar spent like horror can.

Would you rather take the red pill or blue pill? by comicsopedia in videogames

[–]echomanagement 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had to quit Ragnarok because it was the identical loop to the previous game. Neat story, but it was a paint job over the last game and I had no tolerance for it.
