Can you imagine the alternate headline of “US sends peace keeping force to Saudi Arabia to protect African migrants”? That’s a sociopolitical minefield if there ever was one. I’m sure that if the US knew, so did most everyone else, and there weren’t any other countries lining up to help. SA isn’t known for being a clandestine government, more of a “What are you gonna do about it, buy more oil?” kind of operation. The US is damned if we do, damned if we don’t. Step in and its Team America World Police, don’t do anything and we are standing by letting genocidal governments kill nations.

Don’t forget a map that leads you to all of the DLC you haven’t bought.

I’ve seen that roo in ever dive bar I’ve ever been to.

I still remember the headline. “Local Sexpot Killed in CIA Raid.”

Maybe I’m just over-hopeful, but I think “generations” is far too much of an overunderstatement. With the way that technology moves, I don’t think we’ll be waiting that long.

Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, FFVI and Xenogears top out the list for me. You can’t beat them. If you want something a little off the beaten path, the soundtrack to Ruiner is pretty fucking rad.

This may be a “safety” measure in the bios of the phone itself that was triggered when you flashed the rom. Can you try to flash back to stock android and see if that works? (Tho, depending on the manufacturer, that may be a bridge already burned.) Also, it could be that android 13 dropped driver support for the phone in question and no longer “officially” supports it, so some options are grayed out unless you enable them in developer options. Probably not much help for you, but that’s the best I can think of.

It shut down, sold it’s assets, and then the company that bought it all reopened Telltale and started fresh. Not sure what the culture there is now, but since no news is good news, I’ll assume it’s gotten a little better than before.

If I have to pass a yearly exam to prove that I am not in some form of cognitive decline just to have the same rule apply to every other person, including politicians, then I’m all for it. Same goes for driver’s licenses. My grandmother, who is 91, just renewed last year. She told me over the phone, “This will probably be the last time I ever have to do that,” and I just thought, “I sure fucking hope so.” I’m not against older people doing what they want to do, but reality and safety have to come into play at some point. People break down as they age. I’m dealing with it now, and I will continue as I get older. I have no illusions about it. The feeling that you are entitled to whatever you want regardless of the safety of others is something that we as humans need to drop, or it’s gonna be the end of us, as evidenced by the current state of politics.

Sorted.

People that say that have never used AI art generation apps and are only regurgitating what they hear from other people who are doing the same. The amount of arm chair AI denialists is astronomical.

Lmao. I remember when hearing that a new game had a hundred hours of content was great! Now it’s like, thank god Ubisoft stopped sniffing its own farts.

That’s all the man said! He gave a list of people, and then said he wanted to kill them. It’s not like he was giving a review of the Barbie movie and anecdotally said that sometimes he has dark thoughts. He said he wants to kill anyone who doesn’t support Trump.

Goddamnit man, I was having a good day…

So, by his own admission, he never used AI before, had no idea how it works, and didn’t bother to research it much before throwing himself into the video. On top of that, his main concern seems to be that he’d already done a Wes Anderson parody, and he thought the AI’s version was worse. If I didn’t know better, I’d say he’s one of the thousands of doomsayers that I see every day now talking about how “AI WILL BE THE END OF TRUE ARTISTRY!!!”. Actually, that’s exactly what I’ll say, because for all of his hot air, he failed to actually make a point in the entire video. In one breath he would say that AI threatens to destroy all media, and then, in the next he’d say that AI is bad at everything it does and is completely unconvincing. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it, again; if your art can’t survive AI, you aren’t an artist. This guy is worried because AI is doing better parodies in an afternoon than he can do in a week, but true artists, like Wes Anderson, can’t be copied so easily. He’s so close, but he doesn’t quite get there, and that’s frustrating as a viewer. I hope he comes to grip with it, and learns that if he wants to keep milking that Youtube algorithm for his rent, he’ll have to either get with the times, or just get better.

I’m getting really close to just not using the internet anymore. I only use it to stream movies, and doom scroll lemmy right now, anyway. The only reason I have an email is for spam. Take awake the only facade of privacy I have and I may as well hang it all up and walk away.

I’m so stoked for this one. I’m keeping my expectations in check, because PC port releases for AAA games have been pretty rough lately, but I hope this plays well out of the gate.

Let’s sprinkle song crack on him and get out of here.

Heroes changed the way I look at writer’s strikes…
