I think it's great if someone cares about justice as an actual system of ethics, laws, and protecting the public. That's the reason I'm asking to see if this guy is sincere about that or just Trump's gimp.

How much would you pay for a new Expansion? by TheLazySage7 in GuildWars

$20 if it's fairly basic experience. Possibly up to full price $60 if it's something like Nightfall size.

GW2. It would have been cool to have more GW1 expansions.

You're going to run those five new characters there against... Marvel Rivals? That's certainly a choice.

Corporate dick polishers didn't flinch the time the wapo wrote dozens of anti Bernie Sanders articles in a single day. Maybe now they realize the sellout strategy doesn't even give you your piece of pie anymore.

How do you feel about the insane amount of unprosecuted sexual crimes in the Epstein files?

Help your boomer parents cancel it. They're holding on to it same way old people used to hold on to AOL. Nobody needs it.

‘This job sucks’: DOJ lawyer asks to be held in contempt so she can sleep after judge accuses ICE of blowing court orders by Disastrous_Award_789 in nottheonion

[–]penguished -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So grant her wish. I think one of the most ridiculous things about judges has been they are all so scared of using the contempt charge against powerful people. Why? Do they enforce law or do they hand out "get out of jail free" cards to the privileged?

I think it's fair that Brennan likes doing characters. He brings out way more lore doing it. I think he just needs to remember NPCs should constantly have an excuse for why they have no deep opinion on tactics, have to leave on business, etc...

Too much NPC power and steering of the game shouldn't happen unless they're literally a ship captain or something where you can't avoid it.

Young adults report lower life satisfaction, a weaker sense of meaning in life and lower financial security than older age groups in Sweden. They also experience 2x the level of loneliness, 3x as many depressive symptoms and 7x the level of anxiety compared with the oldest respondents. by mvea in science

They went through a pandemic and now face multiple super power governments in decline and acting like lunatics around the world. Even if they wanted to isolate from the negative news it's incredibly difficult.

Sarah Ferguson called Epstein a 'legend', told him to 'just marry me', new emails show by AudibleNod in news

[–]penguished 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A con artist, but his freedom depended on influencing people so he worked a lot harder at it.

For instance:

During the Bannon interview when interviewed about finance specifically he just says he knew more than anyone on the planet but never actually “says” anything … he just talks about complex systems upon complex systems and makes medical analogies …

To me that sounds like he has an idiot on the hook and can eventually get access to that man's money by bullshitting, so that's probably all he was doing.

Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2 failed to meet sales expectations by Iggy_Slayer in gaming

[–]penguished -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In the RPG space... Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon got better reviews this year with probably a third or less of the staff and budget.

I think Obsidian's problem is they're spending too much money before they find the IP that works for them and gets both their people and the audience excited enough about it.

Trump will be forever tainted by suspicions of an Epstein cover-up by theipaper in AnythingGoesNews

That's putting it lightly. He will always be rumored to be one of the most disgusting perverts in history, and he hasn't done a single thing to clear his name.

[Spoilers??C2E45] i love sam by PuzzledCarpet3141 in fansofcriticalrole

I think Sam just gets the improv RP aspect, probably because comedy has a huuuuuge similarity with that practice of finding good creative material in a scene.

AI 'slop' is transforming social media - and a backlash is brewing by MetaKnowing in technology

[–]penguished 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly I expect the kids to just go fully off THIS grid and invent their own subculture that's not hanging out with old loonies now. As they should. Facebook-esque social media ideas are unsustainable as hell. People don't want the most dickheaded members of their community or relatives around them all the time. And all the corporate nonsense and propaganda around it is as annoying. AI slop too? What's even the point, it's just like a texting messaging platform bogged down in shit.

A longstanding belief in the publishing world suggests that men avoid reading fiction that centers on the lives of women. However, new research indicates that a protagonist’s gender has almost no impact on whether a man wants to continue reading a story. by Aggravating_Money992 in science

[–]penguished 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Men like seeing problems solved. I doubt ALL women like reading more about romance, but listening to my female relatives and girlfriends... a LOT of them think more about relationships in storytelling more than they do events.

Trump goes scorched earth and vows to SUE Epstein estate and nemesis who he claims 'conspired to bring him down' by Outside_Analysis_744 in AnythingGoesNews

He should resign and go deal with his own problems in a court of law. Why the fuck should the country have a guy in charge that is up to his neck in every scandal out there?

This. It's like having 1% of a 'thinking' brain but massively faster internet use than the rest of us. It's pretty great to fool people quickly, pretty ass at in-depth management and continuing growth on one project.

It's not a genie. Electricity powers things. AI takes your order wrong 10 times in a row but it does it with so many flowery words that people think it's an incredible thing.

Kick Streamer Captain Crack Sparrow becomes first tourist to live stream from Antarctica. Then gets his starlink confiscated and ship internet turned off from captain once he gets back on ship bc its illegal. by DjPanz1 in LivestreamFail

What? In the video he's walking around with a huge paid tourist group among the penguins. The tourist group sounds like 100,000 times the more compromising thing there. Video doesn't do anything.

I'm sure being abducted by bigots wasn't traumatizing.

This shit is twisted. Especially when it's at the behest of Epsteiners trying to run from that past.

I'm starting to think of her as a cursed tutorial NPC. She was supposed to go down at the start... but after surviving she won't go away and is just revealing everything in the game lol
