So the ability to permadie would be a lives system that you could run out of lives? That seems like an old design philosophy to me.

I am very interested on what you mean by that.

This was a really good read. I learned a lot.

This was a tough watch. It’s a shame that this happens so frequently with barely hiding abuse in overseas workplaces.

Yeah, having nuance on the Internet is hard.

Looks pretty dope! I’m excited that a talented team gets to work on such a storied franchise.

They tried with student loan debt and the courts blocked them at every turn. The courts are shaped to allow republican plans, because we have done these things in the past. Courts are more willing to reject things that haven’t happened before.

I did not know this existed, but I’m going to watch it now!

I am currently playing through it, and it has some of the best moments gaming has to offer. You don’t normally see such a specific voice in games narratives these days. I have been really enjoying it.

I’m currently in a swing state, and I really enjoy getting the postcards. It makes me feel a little less alone in the sea of red.

Skillup started the video saying that other people can have other opinions on the game. He didn’t like the combat, the art style, or the new tone. Those are all subjective things that other people could have enjoyed. Purely just in the video, he talked about how he didn’t like the necromancer character, but every clip he showed I liked. It’s just different tastes.

Yeah, because the market went from having the opinion of “I’m 80% sure that Tesla is going to do this robo taxi, automaton thing” to " I’m 65% sure that Tesla is going to do this robotaxi, automaton thing". Things are rarely all or nothing with the market.

I really love these games. I like the silly little puzzles with the good music and art. The lack of story never really bothered me because every single person you meet is so unique looking that it enables a lot of people-watching imagination on my part. I just think they’re neat :)

It is a good sign, I was just saying that Georgia is definitely not for sure blue without interference from Republicans though (they do absolutely interfere though).

Nah dog. Georgia has some super red areas. The recent swing of the Atlanta suburbs to blue is a very recent phenomenon. Outside of Atlanta, it’s all trump country.

I’m playing Alan Wake II, and oh boy is it a great game. I’m not normally a horror fan, and have really only dabbled my way through a few residents evil, but I’m really enjoying myself in AW2. I love the off-kilter humor that remedy has, and their confidence to include it inbetween the horror, knowing it won’t undercut the scares. I’m also pretty intrigued by the mystery of it. My memories of AW1 are hazy, but there are a ton of nods to Control, which I also really liked.

I thought the story in ac Odyssey was very unique with how it prioritized the morality of the time and contrasted it with our modern day morality, and I spent plenty of hours really enjoying that world. Probably my favorite large open world to date (but that is entirely personal preference). I do think Mario kart 8 is the best kart racer ever, and definitely deserves to be on the list for that alone.

I have no knowledge about diablo 4, but I think the others are really fun games in their genre?

I completely agree with you. An interesting aspect to this is that when it was still Twitter, Apple was one of the biggest marketers on the site. This was because all of the other online ad venders were direct competitors (google with phones, and Facebook with virtual reality). So having a place that isn’t google/meta to pump ad dollars makes sense to some businesses, or at least it did before the percentage of Nazi content rose so much.

Or the code is the operating system that the application is running on, or the code is the firmware that is operating the GPU that is crunching the numbers to make the neural net, or the code is the friends we made along the way.
