  • And yet you jumped all over people claiming to have played enough games to be able to recognize crap when they see it. Again, you're dismissing real people while standing up for what exactly? Defending corporate garbage?

    I enjoy the occasional mobile game too, I don't have an issue with your general opinion. But you certainly aren't convincing anyone with the childish attitude and ridiculous reasoning.

  • The hypocrisy of claiming that you can't judge any game without physically playing it yourself, then turning around and judging thousands of people you've never interacted with based on a couple interactions, is absolutely staggering.

    Consider giving human beings the same benefit of the doubt that you give to software.

  • Deleting my post is violation of freedom of speach.

    Repeating it doesn't make it true. Sorry, but that's simply not what the first amendment is about. 'Freedom of speech' means you can't be arrested for a YouTube comment criticizing our glorious Cheeto (yet). It does not grant you control over the content other people choose to publish to private websites.

    These spaces are not free, public spaces, and they have never been. Stop living in this fantasy world. Twitter is not a town square, it's Elon's private club and he can do whatever the hell he wants. The only thing I can do is choose not to use it, and focus on sites run by people I'd rather support.

  • Based on what exactly? I've gone to one of his events, he's pretty explicit about being a science educator. I can't say I've seen him claim otherwise anywhere, though people definitely like to put those words in his mouth.

  • Freedom of speech is a protection from persecution from the government, not an obligation for all other parties to be exposed to your speech.

    Websites are private spaces, and like most private spaces, have their own rules to abide by. It's their right to make those rules whatever they want, and people can choose the rules that make a more pleasant space to occupy.

    If you want the freedom to be hateful and hostile to people, feel free to hang out on 4chan. Forums are typically more tightly controlled, especially specific topic forums, with discussion tightly controlled to keep things on the subject so the site stays useful and not buried in irrelevant content.

  • People also shouldn't just be able to make money off of other people's creations without limits.

    IMO, ideally we would implement a system of 'open licensing' where people could freely use others IP as long as they pay a public, standardized percent of revenue based on the usage.

  • I'm nice to ai because that's how I typically type anyway, it's been shown to get better results. Using good vocabulary and respectful language seems to prompt the AI to use similar sources, which tends to increase the quality of the output.

  • That's pretty much exactly what I'm saying. If you offer software that requires outside servers to run, you should be legally obligated to release the code used to run the servers if you discontinue supporting that software. That doesn't make mmo's any different, just a minor change to how they handle end of life.

  • Why would people here care that much about this? This kind of material exists on any site that allows user submitted content, and the only solution is aggressive automated moderation, which winds up hurting everyday users. Would you prefer that anyone who uploads a song or podcast that names a drug be automatically removed and have to be manually approved?

    These are low-effort scams to steal credit card numbers, it doesn't seem like any of these had an actual avenue to purchase drugs. They should be removed for sure, but this is hardly some wild breach of responsibility.

  • This has got to be machine printed right? They're no worse than Wizard's usual minis, but yeah they always suck. The biggest problem IMO is the sculpt, they look like they're made out of mud. I assume it has to do with the rubber they use. I don't know, I'm way too spoiled by printing my own to consider buying something that looks this bad.

  • A common story, but not true. When Lucas was filming Star Wars he hadn't yet had the idea that Vader was Luke's father, hence the clumsy retcon about Vader killing Luke's father 'from a certain point of view' in Return of the Jedi. Vader is just shortened 'invader', the dutch translation is just serendipity (or proof that the force is real).

  • I mean, isn't the joke that there are only like 20 people who really do anything that matters in Star Wars? The rest of the trillions of beings in the SW universe are apathetic too.

    That's also one of the underlying threads in Andor, Luthen is trying to agitate the empire so that they lash out and start really interfering with people's lives. The more the Empire tries to crush dissent, the more apathetic people they disrupt, and the dissent only grows. That's where we're at now, most people's lives haven't meaningfully changed yet, but it's coming.
