And I thought it was us middle-aged (40+) and older who was the only one who still used them literally. Gotten the impression that younger generations invented non-obvious meanings that spread in trend waves, then stopped using emojis when it became too hard and social anxiety-inducing to keep track of the various interpretations of what a “slight smile” might possibly mean to the receiver. 🙂

Well, we have to do something about IP laws then.

Its doing pretty well when its doing a few words at a time under supervision. Also it does it better than newbies.

Now if only those people below newbies, those who don’t even bother to learn, didn’t hope to use it to underpay average professionals… And if it wasn’t trained on copyrighted data. And didn’t take up already limited resources like power and water.

Or YOU could hack the company by stressing him about bugs and offer your help to fix them.

90s?! Does it have a login screen with a fat guy mocking me if I didn’t say the magic word? Or a hidden π link i can click on to bypass authentication?

No. But I am responsible for my own and my friends and family’s safety.

So what is right, is it to let these be free to indoctrinate themselves into hating me and my fellow humans and spreading harmful beliefs until theres no room for our kind? Or is it to police what they are allowed to consume and become the fascist I didnt want these gullible fools to become? Also if we did, how long until someone turned it around on us: Declared themselves the less gullible ones and worthy of policing what we should watch?

Assuming most humans means well and want good, we’d always outnumber and outvote those who are fool enough to believe in the hate. But seeing politicians who demonstrately and openly want the worst towards certain people, somehow manage to get voted into leadership of one of the most influental countries in the world… It has shaken my belief in that tolerance will win out in a democracy.

Should. But its not like we can force them to grow up and become responsible.

I know I heard my name called occasionally as a kid. Clear as day but directionless, seemingly from very close to me. I figured its just a bug in a developing mind. But could also be that my mom got damn angry if I didnt hear her calling so I was always listening for it, and like the article describe, I picked up noise and the brain filled in the expectation.

Oh this is gonna be great! I hope. Except… There something about the graphics, I cant figure out what, that makes it feel less realistic. To me at least. Is it just my nostalgia for the old pixelated graphics that ruins how it looks? Or is it something more tangible, that might possibly even be fixed before release?

Its music level released on YT gave it a lot of exposure. If even that wasn’t enough, what hope do we have for an Alan Wake 3 or Control 2 without a crappy tacked-on monetization scheme? Because thats always next if a singleplayer game series doesn’t make as much money as the publishers wanted it to.

I doubt it. But I want to know too.

Agree. DOS’ elemental surface effects was cool, but having to deal with it all the time got old. Even more so with necrofire. I’m really hoping DOS3 learn something from BG3’s more conservative usage of surface effects.

And only once. You can’t buy another one to do it again. Your only option is to buy ingame.

That being said, the publisher is well-known for doing useless and overpriced microtransactions. Why everyone acts so surprised and nobody cared before release is beyond me.

Yes. And no.

I much prefer the rope physics in DL2. And the parkour. But the story, and sidemissions arent as good. And nights are less dark, and less dangerous. And melee combat feels wrong. And grinding zombie parts to item upgrades for so many gadgets, its just too slow and too expensive. In the end I had fun with it though.

Uncooked of course.

Why would anyone ruin it by cooking it into porridge?! (jk, but im no fan of it cooked)

Lucky you! I wasn’t allowed to make anything more advanced than sandwiches. I would only make a mess, my mom complained. She was a bit obsessed with cleanliness and control.

I ate a lot of microwaved cheese sandwiches, and fried eggs as soon as I could move out, though. And spaghetti with ketchup. And rice with ketchup. Cheap and delicious food for a student.

Norwegian here. My family grew up in the 90s on mostly on oatmeal in milk, with some jam or sugar added. I love it. Quick to assemble and doesn’t make much of a mess to clean up.

Replace walking with bicycling and you get the entire Oslo within 30 minutes distance. Just don’t stop anywhere or your bike will probably get sabotaged.

From what I’ve read about him, I thought CliffyB would have been on the “seeing wokes in everything” group.

2020? So “they wanted people to focus on other things from the studio” like the Avenger game they completely wrecked?
