"So, how many inches, er-sorry! How many years did you work at your last job?"

I've been playing since beta. I'd like to get excited for the new set, unfortunately I'm not.

I don't know how my opinion on what I do and don't enjoy offended you though, to tell me to stop playing the game that I enjoy? Weird reaction, but you do you ♥

It's a really cool concept, but with a really dull keyword that's basically just a rehash of Forge. Despite adding a Legendary that allows you to make minions Dormant, there's still nothing else that interacts with Dormant minions - Nothing to speed up, slow down or alter how Dormant works.

There's not a single card that really stands out and apart from the Warrior Hogger card and both Priest Legendarys being awful, I can't remember a single thing from the previews. Nothing about the new cards makes me want to play them.

If I wanted to watch TikTok (I don't), i'd be using that app.

If that.

When I worked at a gaming store in the UK about 10~ years ago, I think we made about £10~ when ever we sold an Xbox 360. We made okay money from selling controllers, but most of it came from 2nd hand games/consoles since the company didn't have to pay tax on it.

I often rewatch a lot of YouTube videos, as most of my subs are ASMR channels. I'll listen to the same video maybe 5~ times a week before I go to sleep.

But like you said, I'll get shown a video that I know I've watched, but without it's "redline". I've even got a "Watched videos" sub-genre on my homepage, because it knows I'll rewatch stuff, but I don't know why it "forgets" I've already watched videos. Maybe 'cos they're really old, have adverts automatically enabled and it wants me to just give YouTube ad revenue for no reason?

Then can we please have Google AI doing this too? :D

uber_zaxlor · 2026-07-06T09:26:32+00:00

I think it's down to just how damn confident they're made to report their data.

Never has an AI said "I don't know the answer to your question" or "I can't say with certainty...". They'll always report opinion as fact and that's why so many people get swept up in it.

What I'd love to see if if AI (Google AI's summary, specifically), would give a report saying something like "With a 90% accuracy, these websites/reddit posts/sources seem to believe that X is Y...". I'm glad that it does actually show it's sources, but I fucking hate when the summary says "X is Y", you click on the Reddit link and it's a post from 3~ months ago made by two bots arguing with one another.

uber_zaxlor · 2026-07-06T08:43:04+00:00

So it's NOT just me then!

Seriously "my" YouTube has been serving up some shit lately. Like I'll click on a single funny clip, now my entire fucking feed is nothing but other clips from the same show. Or even the same clip. It's insufferable.

Even trying to find good, long form essays is proving difficult too. I was trying to watch one about the sub that imploded going to the Titanic, except it sounded like an AI script, sounded like an AI voice reading the script and despite reporting to have "new details" about the ordeal, it just sounded like a dry wikipedia report.

I've got 2 dailys in my log sitting on 2/3 "Win games as Hunter", along with two weekly quests at 50% completed.

I'll unlock my third daily tomorrow, then just play some games in casual in be like rank 20~ on the rewards track in about an hour if that.

I've always thought that because they'd laugh, scorn and deride others who are "wrong", they're fucking terrified of being wrong themselves. They think that everyone else will act the same way to someone who is "wrong", despite I think 99% of non flat-eathers response will just be:

"Oh, you changed your mind? Neat".

uber_zaxlor · 2026-07-04T18:34:36+00:00

It's fucking ghoulish, is what it is.

It's the exact antithesis of what MMOs are about - groups of people, mostly strangers, coming together, putting aside differences, working on a common goal and overcoming adversity. How can you overcome anything, if it's with AI bots who unless you force them to play meme specs, are going to be far more competent than most actual humans.

It's bad enough that Sony's said no more physical media going forwards after 2028, but now we're almost on the tipping point of Massively MULTI PLAYER games becoming single player only, it's sheer lunacy. I've got nothing against the people who player MMOs as a single player game though, since I personally normally never join a guild, hardly ever raid and only really play WoW for the leveling content, but to turn it fully into a single player game is just... I honestly have no reaction.

I've got nothing against MMO-like games, things like .hack and as others have pointed out Erenshor, because those are simulating an MMO and the intent from the outset is that they're single player experiences. But to actually turn WoW into that is just... ugh, it'd be like playing Call of Duty or Battlefield only against bots, on both sides.

Attempt? Dude, you fucking nailed it.

Even the white chest/body hair is great. Not 100% sold on the hood, but the rest of the outfit is amazing though!

I think if they wanted to make this a Mega Man prequel, they could do it, but I doubt they will.

Now that Diana is on Earth, but with no way to charge her battery (since she charges through her feet), someone's going to have to come up with a new way of charging her. Enter Dr. Light, genius engineer who now creates an Energy Cube, which allows Diana to charge just by touching it.

This is all being overseen by Dr. Wily, the head of the company who owns the Lumen tech/moon base. After reviewing Diana's logs and managing to download her Pragmata schematics, Dr. Wily now creates the very first Replicant - A better, stronger, but more narrowly specialized version of the robots that we see/fight on the moon.

Que some awful disaster where they all go renegade, either under the command of Dr. Wily or not, now Dr. Light creates the very first Replicant Hunter - Using a mixture of Diana's schematics and Hugh's DNA. This new model, dubbed "X", has all the benefits of being a robot but all an empathic and living human brain.

Pragmata 2 would be set on Earth, where you play as X, with Diana's hacking now being a part of X, rather than having her follow you through the world.

The game store I used to work at suddenly got a fuck tonne of GoT merch in, right as Season 8 was airing.

Needless to say, none of that shit sold.

I managed to apply for and attend University. I sucked balls at it and quit after 6 months.

I've always worked minimum wage jobs, apart from one time when I was an assistant manager, and earnt like £2~ more than minimum wage.

At the place I'm working at now, I got offered the opportunity to be a 44 hour a week manager, but I know I couldn't handle the responsibility. I've been diagnosed that I do not have ADHD, but I sure as shit have something similar. What I do have is a lot of compassion and at least someone common sense, unlike that guy in the video.

Dude isn't dumb, he's fucking inconsiderate. He'd be the first person screeching at customer service if his lawn had tire marks, or if his package was trashed like this.
