That would have been devastating to me in middle school

Low effort troll

I thought the reasoning portrayed in the movies made a lot less sense than the reasoning in the comics.

If his goal is to eliminate poverty and balance the resources vs consumption, why not double the resources rather than destabilize the entire universe in the process of halving the consumption of resources?

A shortsighted and foolish plan at least makes sense when it's in the pursuit of romance.

Same, and I suspect that not many people ever did hate Skylar... But the narrative makes for good content, so the few that did hate on Skylar got portrayed as the majority.

IIRC, though, Anna Gunn mentioned having a lot of negative interactions with the audience conflating her with her character... So who knows.

Bubble gum :3

This the the problem for the LLM, it can be used for many things, and if it has no filter or limit

I agree with pretty much everything before this but that particular comment was just talking about summaries, which imo is a lot more cut and dry. (SparkNotes, for example)

An LLM by itself is unlimited and unfiltered, but it's not impossible to limit one and sell it. For all the shit OpenAI deserves to get, I have to give them one thing, their copyright restriction system seems to be on par with YouTube. I paid for a month of it when GPT4 came out and tried my hardest to bypass it, but it won't even give me copyrighted texts when the words are all replaced with synonyms or jumbled around.

I think if someone's offering their LLM as a service and has a system like that in place, they aren't stealing any more than YouTube is stealing. Otherwise I agree that there's a strong argument for copyright infringement.

Look, guys! The TLDR bot is stealing!

!Arthur Dent has his home demolished while humans simultaneously have Earth demolished by an alien race called Vogons, but him and Ford Prefect escape by hitchhiking onto the Vogon ship. They're discovered and thrown into space, but miraculously saved by Ford's relative (can't remember how they're related) and his ship The Heart of Gold, which is powerful but unpredictable. They wind up on a mythical planet due to that unpredictability, and learn that Earth was a designer planet created to calculate the ultimate answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. (The famous "42" thing). The whole crew escapes the planet and decides to go to The Restaurant at the End of The Universe to eat and watch the universe end.!<

Have I just stolen The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and given it to you?

Games are about entertainment. They're not a career.

They're all skills that you have to develop, and things people do because they like doing them. And if you're not willing to learn to develop those skills, you won't be able to participate.

Zelda games aren't gatekeeping me when I die a lot and they don't give me more health. Portal 2 isn't gatekeeping me when I can't solve the puzzles and they won't give me the answers. Undertale isn't gatekeeping me because I'm bad at bullet hells and they won't slow down time for me. The whole point of the game is to develop a skill and overcome a challenge.

I already named several mechanics Elden Ring gives you to deal with the difficulty, and engaging with them is what the game is about. It can be as easy or as hard as you make it. If you choose not to utilize those options, that's your prerogative.

they have opted to take actions that make the game unenjoyable for a significant number of gamers despite it having no positive benefit for ANY gamer

Like what

I don't have the tools to mod Bloodborne

Miyazaki himself said he wants a PC port but Sony won't do it. We're definitely on the same page there, and so is the CEO of From Software.

Learning to play the guitar or code also doesn't have a difficulty slider, but people of all abled-ness manage it anyways. It's a matter of patience and practice just like any other skill.

But this particular skill has in-game mechanics like leveling up, upgrading equipment, and summoning up to two whole extra players to do the work for you. Then there's mods...

Some of us, especially older gamers, just don't have the reflexes for that type of game.

I hear what you're saying, but to be fair, younger players don't start out with those reflexes either. It's probably harder for older players, but I'm not convinced it's that much more of a challenge that it's not worth trying. Maybe it's my lack of perspective talking, but I'm willing to bet that if older folks can learn to play a guitar or code, they could learn to play Elden Ring given the same amount of practice and motivation.

It took me over 6 hours total just to learn to parry, and even then I'd say my success rate is still only like 60% at best. I learned to do it for 1 specific DLC boss, and that was after 200 hours in the base game without using once, so I had to completely abandon my muscle memory. But man, the one run I managed to pull off where I hit just enough parries to make it out alive by the skin of my teeth, it was beautiful. I recorded it, and watching it back is like watching a dance. (Like a dancer with two left feet, but still, lol)

Unfortunately for us, Fromsoft writes GREAT stories and Let'sPlays are still kinda boring.

I don't normally watch lets plays anymore either, but this one really hooked me. Gray and Lark both have a lot of charisma and bounce off of each other really well since they're childhood friends. The stories they tell are entertaining enough that, for the first time ever, I decided to watch a livestream (instead of the edited version I linked).

Vaati Vidya also has a lot of good videos if you just want the raw lore.

They can, it's just not in the form of 1 button.

It's an RPG, if you want the game to be easier then level up your character to have adequate HP/defense/attack power. Not enough? Upgrade your weapons/shield. Still not enough? You can summon two whole extra players to do all the work for you.

Still not enough? There's mods.

Was it >!Rellana!<? I've been avoiding spoilers so idk who's the most complained about, but I sat down and used a shield for the first time and parried her to death. It took 5 hours but it was fun lmao.

PCussy

Death Grips

Or just increase the size of the pen tool...

This hallway will always feel like home to me

Nah, it's just a joke. Maybe a cisnormative joke, but as a trans woman myself I didn't think twice about it.

In my book, for something to be transphobic it has to intentionally discredit or attack trans people.
