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.

Absolutely, bringing laughter and curiosity to people worldwide 2K years later is THE way to face death. But that guy is gonna be hard to beat..

Oh hell no, my last known action on this earth is NOT gonna be spent complaining about someone else's music skills. Unless they are playing a vuvuzela or something..

I had to fight an annoying bug like this in our companys frontend code once. That specific country's pretty-date settings insisted on returning only the last two digits of a year, and the UI framework's date input field read it like that before parsing it back to a date.

Nobody ever knows. I personally upvoted because I agree that less social pressure to follow norms is good, and i didn't know I was in the unpopular opinion sub.

Theres a small problem with this: Fewer young workers to care for all the childless old people.

Or so they say.. I don't know, sounds like a problem we would have to deal with eventually anyway as earth population growth slows and average life span grows. Doesn't help that healthcare workers are underpaid and medicine is overpriced, I'm sure.

Yeah, sex scene and sex jokes was a bit surprising, compared to how tame Bethesda games are on stuff like that. Well, at least the unmodded ones.

But didn't scare me away after first episode either. Looks promising.

I doubt it. But I want to know too.

14? They've jumped from 2 to 14?

They can. But theres a reasonable level of trust that a security feed has been kept secure and not tampered with by the owner if he doesnt have a motive. But what if not even the owner know that somewhere in their tech chain, maybe the camera, maybe the screen, maybe the storage device, maybe all 3, the image was "improved". No evidence of tampering. We'll have the police blaming Count Rugen for a bank robbery he didnt do, but the camera clearly shows a six fingered man!

That it is always around. Just hanging there in the sky. That we've spent so many nights together. But I guess it is in a way a long-distance relationship. Also its just a pale reflection of the sun. A rocky relationship, in many ways.

How long until we got upscalers of various sorts built into tech that shouldn't have it? For bandwidth reduction, for storage compression, or cost savings. Can we trust what we capture with a digital camera, when companies replace a low quality image of the moon with a professionally taken picture, at capture time? Can sport replays be trusted when the ball is upscaled inside the judges' screens? Cheap security cams with "enhanced night vision" might get somebody jailed.

I love the AI tech. But its future worries me.

Would be nice if every game publisher was required to contribute a version of their game, that can be played without an external network or license, to the country's main library. For cultural safe-keeping. I know at least one country does that for books.

In a normal world, someone in power who immediately starts blaming without any proof or cause or connected reason, should have been marked as crazy and shamed out of any place of power. I don't care if its left or right or between. They should be as relevant as those who blame aliens for building the pyramids. They have no place deciding the fate of others.

That a lot of US are so ready to fight immigrants that they dont mind their politicians jumping blindly to conclusions and seeing enemies everywhere.. Its scary. Even on this side of the Atlantic.

Im probably wrong, it isn't easy to judge properly with so few pixels, but it looks like each floor on the enterprise is half the height of a cargo crate. That can't be right?

Humans become dangerously inventive and resourceful in guerilla warfare. Its fun (and sometimes horrifying) reading old booby trap recipes that was shared around by Milorg here in Norway during WW2.

"Who teachers felt had problems..." Oh. Teachers. Those people who comes in AFTER things has gone far past reasonable limits, and assigns blame based on whoever the majority of the class points out as the instigator. 😒

Is that from Red Dead Redemption 2?

Just kidding. Beautiful photo though.

Of course we should! We replaced our doctors with hourly rentable books back when that tech became popular. /s

I don't do well with lying. Because of childhood trauma. I am an open book. Even online. A boring open book though.

But I am sometimes a bit confused. Might say stuff I later realize I should have done a second thinking about. But I don't call it misrepresentation when I believed it myself, even if I later realize my mistake.
