This strike affects only a portion of the games development, almost entirely voice acting. Important in a lot of genres, but like... The Sims is their top game, if they just reused voice content from older content and remixed it a bit, I doubt 90% of us would notice.

I mean shit, I know we could search it, but how could you not link us to that. We need that.

I feel like you're confusing the people who make the bets with the people who make the odds, those are interconnected obviously and react to each other, but it's two separate parties.

It's real easy to make polls go whichever way you like if you try and it may be in someones best interest to make sure only the 'correct' polls are widely known. We're spoiled in that we've been able to expect the organizations involved to be trustworthy and not do that, but I think a lot of us feel that that's been less and less true.

For the betting markets, their success relies almost solely on them predicting odds correctly and consistently. Our respect here is for the people who dedicate their lives to making sure the gamblers lose. Could obviously still be manipulated, but in this case doing so is at least contrary to the purpose of the organization instead of in the previous case potentially actually supporting it...

Not going to lie though, is a weird shift, I get it.

That does kind of explain a lot.

I know we're all in our own occasionally overlapping echo chambers, but the betting odds and prediction markets still tend to favor Trump, some of the larger ones pretty heavily. It's very disconnected from the narrative I've been seeing about Kamala here and elsewhere, I hope that narrative is right, but still doesn't line up.

Definitely not wrong, when I read about it virtualizing the whole deal... I've worked in relatively adjacent fields before and I couldn't even give you a satisfactory high-level explanation of how it works.

Judging from some of the prolific ones out there, cracking DRM requires you to also be absolutely batshit insane.

"Super Multi IRON FREE"

Well, apparently not.

If you didn't laugh when they came up with the slogan "Together, there are more of us!", then I don't know what's wrong with you.

I love Scavenger's Reign, and don't remember any of the characters names or the basic story at all.

I feel like it's just a long world building art project.

Wow, Lemmy knows me, knocking it out with an absolute top tier pick at the very top of the hot comments.

Good taste, my friend.

The source is in the tweet, it's the Project 2025 mandate. His name isn't hidden on it or anything.

That looks like damage to the plastic coating, blast from the past, but you could just throw them in a resurfacer if you can find one, every resurface will be less reliable than the one before it though.

May not be worth it, how old are these? My knowledge is maybe out of date, but if it's a dvd-rw opposed to a generic dvd-r, the usable lifespan used to be pretty limited. In theory, manufacturers claim 10-25 years based on their accelerated testing methods, but in actual lifespan, some data hoarders were seeing numbers average as low as 2 years for large collections. No good studies out there I'm aware of though. I used to have all of my media on dvd-rs and almost all of mine were showing read errors after 5 years, even the ones from the good manufacturer, this was back in... 2010ish.

The money is important, but it isn't the most important part of the equation. The value of having a nearly 100% dependable ally in that region trumps almost every other possible concern from a political perspective.

Whenever I see writing like this, I imagine it's being told by one of the peons from the original Warcraft.

They probably dug out the old molds to make most of the pieces, would make sense.

They could be legitimately better with new processes implemented by the factories/etc.

Despite being obviously counter to the point of Christian Jesus, they are pretty badass, these could spread like wildfire.

They'd be on a Trump campaign poster by morning.

I've lived in Canada, the US, Mexico and briefly wandered around Europe.

Canadian burgers are just weird, I don't know what y'all are doing up there, they're all just weird like someone had only ever seen a picture of a cheeseburger and tried to recreate it without ever tasting one. It's still a burger, and it's fine, but it's always just kind of odd. Strongly urge you to have a burger in any other country if you ever have a chance, the taste is vastly different. The US is obviously a top choice, but don't sleep on getting a burger in Germany or France if you ever go.

I'm pretty sure their hands are also trying to be dogs.
