There was this audio book thing we used to have when I was in kindergarten. It was about farm animals, and each animal had its own sound effects. Pigs had the sound effect of a man saying the phrase “sloppity sloppity sloppity slop, sloppity sloppity sloppity slop”.

This is now my mantra whenever I see AI slop.

Maybe we should start chanting it en masse at these tech conventions any time AI is being discussed as anything more than a massive waste of resources.

Yeah. It’s definitely “the liberals” responsible for poor math skills.

…

That. That is quite possibly the best response in this thread. And I’m not even British.

Without even thinking about it, I read that in Joe Pesci’s voice. You should be proud!

That $70 RD may have something to do with that price tag. Salami is expensive these days.

I have noticed a bit of an uptick on Switch, too, but not nearly enough when games are running upwards of $60 at retail. I’m not paying that much for a 100 hr JRPG with a combat system I don’t enjoy. Trails sold me on the combat system alone.

Seriously. I never would have bought Earthion, TWICE, if I hadn’t pirated it and fell in love with it. I firmly believe in financially supporting creators that make things I love. I DON’T believe in taking the risk of paying asking price for a game I may not enjoy in an era when demos are a rarity. As a point of comparison, Trails in the Sky FC has a demo, which I played, and convinced me to buy the full version. Pirating Switch content isn’t worth the time an effort to me, and without the demo, I never would have bought it.

Looks like the hole they dragged the Brain Bug out of.

Realest comment right here. Factorio does not want me to play it. I’d stink it up with my unimaginative, linear thinking.

I cannot relate.

Have you had covid? I have had a similar experience, and I suspect it’s a form of long covid affecting cognitive abilities and memory. You may want to look into it, as this is currently being studied.

It doesn’t work on anything, apparently. That’s kinda the point of the post.

Can confirm.

The States Attorney already said its nothing more than a symbolic gesture. They legally cannot secede from the state. I have the severe misfortune of living in one of these counties. Everything around here is dead or dying because of decades of total, uncontested Republican rule. Whole towns here are nearly abandoned. And yet, they STILL bitch about how the Democrats, who have no control here, have ruined everything.

Adore.

Same. Of the dozens I’ve seen taken down, about ⅓ to ½ have been replaced with Harris signs. It’s certainly been a surprise.

That actually literally happened to my mom. Went months with a front door that wouldn’t latch because they refused to repair it after the fact.

Long story short, building got struck by lightning and one of the units caught fire. Everyone evacuated. Billy Badass firefighter than proceeds to kick down my mom’s door after she’s already evacuated to make sure that the unit was unoccupied and that the fire hadn’t spread. Her unit was on the for end of the building from the lightning strike and fire.

I know lots of firefighters, and most of them are authoritarian adrenaline junkies.

And I only learned about him in the first place because of Watchmen.

Ys 5? No such thing! Hoax!

Hmmm. Maybe I’ll give it another go. I only got about two or three hours in before I moved onto other items in the backlog.
