He also downplayed the risk of electing Trump (first time around) with a “what’s the worst that could happen” attitude. I also can’t stand his misogynist attitude towards women “what could Michelle Obama teach us? How to tell if a dick smells presidential?”

To me that’s an attitude catering directly to the alt-right, incel crowd.

Actor/Comedian Bill Burr. I always found his comedy to be a “gateway drug” to right wing radicalization.

I never used game pass, sorry. Only makes sense they have been hiking it for a while.

Of course it is. First of many. The price will keep rising, since currently Microsoft is losing money on it. The number of games will decrease, the price will keep going up, the users will cancel, rinse and repeat.

It truly is Netflix for gaming.

I keep wanting to love Hades but keep bouncing off it. It has all characteristics of what is want - great art, good story, solid voice acting… I think I am not into the combat mechanics though. Diablo, at least I would enjoy until I finished all the story and quests…

Blue Prince is an awesome game, but it confirmed for me that I can’t stand roguelikes. Any game that’s based on repetitive loop where you do the same thing over and over for small progress is just not my jam. That includes multiplayer grindathons, MMOs and roguelikes/lites.

I guess as I got older, time became more and more of a previous commodity and feeling like I’m not moving forward in an experience kills it for me.

Nothing against the game. Just not for me.

About Atomic Heart - a Russian game from a developer tied to Gazprom and Putin’s oligarch buddies.

This shit should be embargoed, not celebrated.

This game (and the box spinoff) amaze me in just how well Russian propaganda machine is tuned into an average American gamer. Show them some ass, give them a definitely anti-woke attitude and they will sing praises defending it forever. Meanwhile under the surface the games are all like “see, Soviet Russia is/was actually kinda cool, amirite?”

A “Markup Language” to be precise. HyperText Markup Language.

Yea my parties are the best parties, too.

The whole em dash argument is bullshit propagated by LinkedIn lunatics with zero knowledge of AI, writing or typography.

Different types of dashes/hyphens have different uses. People who take care of their copy and understand the nuances of punctuation use em dashes regularly. People who are in a rush, typing on phones or simply who don’t know any better, put the same en dash everywhere.

Em dashes is one of the things that LLMs actually do right for a change. Calling text with em dashes weird, unnatural or ai generated is like making fun of someone for using proper grammar or hygiene.
