Homer Simpson used to be comically fat. Several Simpsons episodes are about his insatiable hunger. I know plenty of people who are way bigger than that cartoon character
Thus my quotes around "dead". I'm well aware people still play it, it's just an old design and if there are two Final Fantasy MMOs that someone could play, don't you think almost everyone would suggest the one in active development, with a significantly larger playerbase, and the one that has had a much better critical reception? Seems obvious to me
I mean, fucking whatever. Mt Rushmore sucks, I've been there. It insults the natural scenery by being a shitty half finished project on what was originally a beautiful mountain. Adding Trump to it would make it an even better metaphor for the US government, especially when he stops paying developers halfway through and we end up with a partially finished version of his face
We insource our torture. Outside firms never get our branding right and it sends mixed messages to our consumers and adversaries. That said, having a single app for laundering services in each region's major currency would save me a lot of time and burner phones
Reminder: steam deck verified has to do with the game launching and having gamepad support. Performance doesn't matter that much. Wait until you see benchmarks before you make decisions, the game can still run like shit on steam deck
I recently watched Flow and with enough care and effort a movie doesn't need dialog to be impactful and well done. There is often a large gulf between what is possible and what they're going to do but I'll be interested to see where this goes
I get what you're saying but so far in my experience here the vast majority of AI content is at least identified as such. AI content is here to stay and in my opinion attempts to remove/ban it will just make it more insidious. If you go back to Reddit AI posts/comments are everywhere and absolutely none of it is labeled. On lemmy people get to choose to interact with it which I think is probably way better
I'm glad you're happy but I got similar results in half the time. I went from 40k, to 70, then 80, then 120, and finally 135 now in about 6 years. Of those each time I got a new job, except for 70 to 80 which was when I went from contracting to full time at the same job. Hell, I asked my manager at that job how I could get a raise and he said my best bet was to quit, go work somewhere else and come back in a few years. My number one piece of career advice I give everyone is "quit your job" especially if you work corporate
Inspired by MTG I'd say a Displacer Kitten. Basically a house cat sized version of a Displacer Beast, either naturally young or kept young with magic. All the cuteness of a kitty with the deadliness of a Displacer Beast
Club House Games is an easy recommendation. 51 games that are classics around the world. You probably know how to play the majority of them already. Likewise a Nintendo switch online subscription is the price of a game for a year and comes with N64, GBA, GBC, SNES, NES, and Dreamcast games. Pokémon stadium 1/2, Ecco the dolphin, Kirby super-star saga, Kirby dream course are all good
That's a fair criticism. It's the anti-noir which by definition means that the mystery isn't smart or sexy. It's a bunch of idiots and coincidences that resolve their problems through happenstance. I happen to be one of the people who finds those idiots unbelievably engaging. Honestly there's a lot of similarity to Seinfeld
Yes. The American populace has very low political IQ, a short memory, and is very emotional. 2001 was 23 years ago, entire people were conceived, raised, and voted in that time. You have to understand that the majority of control of this country is decided on whims, opinions, and gas prices
Why aren't the conversations beginning anew?
America doesn't know how to discuss politics. We understand sports and can talk about politics as if they were sports, but we won't learn a lesson until there are opposing troops on our doorstep (and honestly, I don't think we will then)
Great point. I'm sure like most things related to shitty American politics if you go back far enough there's Reagan bullshit in there too. We had a lot of opportunities to not be here, and yet here we are
"Hey I know just made more money than the Roman empire was worth by manipulating politics but ummmmm... could you please make rules that stop you from beating everyone else?"
The time to stop this was in 2016. Democrats had every opportunity and continued to fellate their corporate overlords instead of even paying lip service to their base. We're in the "find out" phase. I'm sorry you're losing your job, but guess what, it only gets worse from here
I know this is all about optics, but I'm sure for all the people who have had to deal with the criminal justice system they also know how shitty it is. 91% of cases result in a guilty plea, 7% end up in some sort of dismissal and only 2% actually go to trial. The system is built to make being guilty the easiest choice, and your lawyer will do everything in their power to get you to take it
