Anyway I hope I hope online artists, and authors are able to use this to sue AI companies for stealing their copyrighted works.

No no no no, this is part of the trickle down economics we’ve been promised for decades. It only works going down, not punching up.

The only reason Toyota is pushing back against EV is because they are so heavily invested in hydrogen powered vehicles, which isn’t going to happen.

Back in the early 2000s (when Apple Minis were introduced) there was a rare system error that you could get that ended in a wall of script/code. What has stuck with me to this day was the screen ended on the line “panic: we are hanging here”.

Never did puzzle that out.

Haha ok so you’re just one of those people whose understanding of the universe isn’t capable of expanding beyond “this good, that bad”.

I haven’t defended anyone and never intended to. I’m just saying get your comparisons straight. “Hey this game has a bunch of annoying bugs” =/= “Yo this shit is effectively non-functional and empty”.

I’m not downplaying anything, but comparing a dumpster to a dumpster fire and saying they are the same thing is, at best, a little misleading.

The release of Witcher 3 was bad, but it was industry standard bad. Cyberpunk shipped straight up broken and incomplete. It has been fundamentally reworked at least twice since launch.

I don’t think anyone is apologizing for The Witcher 3 at launch, but let’s not pretend they are the same thing. There are more shades than black and white.

CP2077 was far worse, but that doesn’t mean the Witcher 3 was okay, it was still absolutely botched.

This is literally a rewording of what I just said.

I’m not so sure we’re talking about the same scale of horrendous here.

Yeah but Josh Sawyer and his team at Obsidian are very active. Most recently they released Pentiment with Avowed coming later this year. FO:NV was likely chosen because it’s one of their better known games. He has relevant insight into the industry.

It seems like they’re using burnout as a stand-in for “stress” in this case. The article doesn’t do a very good job of elaborating on what that means exactly and it seems like the quote might be missing context. TBF Josh Sawyer isn’t exactly known for being able to convey an idea with brevity.

I don’t need another hole in my phone that does nothing but collect debris.

sHAalL NOT bE NfriNGed!!111!!

Fucking apes.

Ok? I don’t think that changes my argument very much.

That is pretty reductive. Like, it’s a sim. You could describe just about any sim the same way. “You just do this thing to do that thing”. How is this any different from any other game?

I’m not saying it’s the best space game, but I had fun when I played it and it definitely didn’t just feel like I was mining materials just to mine more materials.

You convince anyone to take away my wireless earbuds and I’ll hunt you down.

Enjoy. One of the best games ever made.

I mean, he’s not telling people to not buy the game. He just said if you’re strapped for cash it won’t hurt to wait.

I’m sure I’m going to get some shit for this, but here we go! I own a wyzecam that I keep in (but due to lack of necessity will soon be removing from) my daughter’s room. We had it there just to check and see if she was asleep in her crib still without walking up the very creaky stairs/hall to her room.

It has pretty garbage resolution, has no sensitive information in frame, is not in a part of the house that anything can be overheard, and literally just shows a blurry image of our daughter’s bed.

I guess someone could theoretically sign in and…watch a 3 year old sleep? The worst case scenario I can imagine is someone using the speaker function to scare my kid, which would suck, but I think I can risk it.

There have been great lengths taken over the course of decades to make protestation on this scale prohibitively difficult for Americans. The exact numbers are apparently up for debate but between 40 and 80% of Americans can’t afford to miss a single paycheck. Splinter protests across the country do fuck all for federal issues and since most people can’t afford to make the trip to DC we’re stuck with a non-starter until things get so bad that it doesn’t matter if people are getting paid or not.

It’s purposefully hyperbolic to illustrate a point. You think that Finland is seriously making all ice cream free?

I would not be the least bit surprised if all the Abbotts and Thomases and Trumps and Desantises (Desanti?) announced tomorrow that they would no longer be supporting the ADA’s immoral drain on commercial profits governmental budgets.

And before someone points it out, gutting a system that he has personally benefited from to fuck over Texans is exactly the kind of thing Abbott would do.

I think you were being sarcastic with that last line and nobody caught it. Sorry mate.
