Well… So long as it was all consensual…

One character had several seasons to explore concepts like loyalty to the wrong people, warcrimes, PTSD, regrets. Made the character deep and interesting.

The other character had a handful of episodes to explore prejudice, and stubborn preconceptions, which made the character interesting… But the conflict was essentially resolved after and she only was around for one season.

I sometimes forget Dr Pelauski is even a thing, and then I watch a season two episode and I’m like “oh right!”

“Defending the use of trans slurs”

He’s talking about “futanari”, a genre name.

I empathise with problems that are real. Not problems that exist because people want to find problems with something that isn’t. I hate people like that, because the kinds of people that would turn something like that into a problem are the kind that know know what problems are.

It’s not how people use the tool, it’s even more fundamental than that:

• The tool is advertised as many things that its not, one of the big ones being it’s not even artificial intelligence.
• The production and maintenance of the tool is actively ruining the world by being wasteful on essential resources like water and electricity.

Jesus christ, what an absolute waste of resources.

It’s not. It isn’t bad either, but it’s certainly the weaker out of the three TNG era Treks.

Yeah… See… I already played games like Sim City 2000, Age of Empires 2 and 3, Homeworld 1 and 2, Dungeon Siege, and space sims like Vega Strike and Freelancer.

So I understood what deep systems looked like, and also detailed character stat development. What they promised was something that sounded like a system heavy game, and my expectation (even as a young teenager back then) was that evolution was a creative spin on RPG stat development.

What we instead got was the most barebones element from each of the games I mentioned. There basically weren’t any systems, and the few that existed were entirely self-contained and could easily be completely ignored without any major loss.

Why don’t you have a choice?

An old one: SPORE.

Cool creature editor. Lacked all the depth that was promised in the presentations. Instead of being a cohesive game through the ages, it’s like 5 bare-bones shallow games glued together.

Oh I remember 2008 quite. I lost most of my teenage years to homelessness because economies collapsed due to America’s capitalist bullshit.

During that time I had to struggle for food, had junkies threaten and attack my family, and nearly died shitting and puking blood due to contaminated water.

There is no reason for me to cancel my ChatGPT subscription if I never even started a ChatGPT subscription.

Not sure how anyone can say “fuck AI” and still actually sorta use AI.

I mean… Following what the Linux terminal was doing definitely helped me catch problems as they occurred back when I was using Ubuntu.

No… No this is still accurate.

Trump doesn’t get what he wants. Trump throws a temper tantrum.

Not all your chorizo, I hope. I’d like some up here in Denmark.

I’ve played Genshin Impact just fine on my Steam Deck using An Anime Launcher.

Um, acktchuailley Linux can run Genshin through An Anime Launcher.

Yes. I drink it and I actually lose water.

By gods. It doesn’t matter what technique you use, it’s still just a dehumidifier! The immediate limitation is the humidity of the air, and deserts aren’t known for being very humid!
