So it sounds like Retro didn’t get to build Prime 4 from the ground up and had to rework a good amount of the scrapped build
That explains a lot of the game’s clunky elements and gives me hope for Prime 5 cause now they’ll be able to start from ground zero with their own vision

I dunno, I feel like Elon would easily revert that back at the second he notices he can no longer influence Japan with American, Russian and European pro-sanseito accounts
potential EME alert 🚨- apparently the Japanese are signing up to bluesky in droves. If you check the newskies feed 99% of posts are now Japanese

To be honest, I'm glad Tales of Berseria is grtting a remaster, the original on Steam never got a Japanese release... The preview page for the remaster already confirms Japanese and plenty of other languages are included.

You know what's funny to me, there's this right-wing meme conspiracy channel called Leo of Biz who made a video mocking a potential future where the "NWO" uses recognizable IPs to push their agenda, in that video the boogeyman was doing exactly what DHS is doing. Every accusation...
DHS just shared this video to X with the caption "This Christmas, our hearts grow as our illegal population shrinks."
The video is set to a version of Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and has text that reads "Christmas after mass deportations." The end reads "Mirthnuke."
Evil shit.

Please, stop saying this is AI, it really doesn't matter, I knew a bunch of people who think like this and that was before GPT3

I finished Metroid Prime 4 and I'll give it a 7.5/10. Everything with the NPCs felt really exhausting. The OST is fire and I loved the ambience.

Calling a game “slop” isn’t an opinion, it’s a shortcut.
Real critique requires clarity, context, and the humility to accept that not everything is made for you.
Dismissiveness isn’t insight.
It’s insecurity trying to sound intelligent.
Taste is subjective. Maturity shouldn’t be.

Well the claim is wrong, the best estimates for IQ heritability are probably 30% or less, the insinuation is wrong, the technical meaning of heritability is not the same thing as “how genetic something is”, and the fundamental idea behind the product is wrong.
Genomic prediction of IQ is modern snake oil
Predicting IQ from genetics is inaccurate, confounded, and sows confusion about genetic research.

No, a half baked definition of "DEI" and "Woke" made by a Youtuber who hates academia is not valid and your own side doesn't even agree on it.

Lol, that reminded me of the guy who days ago came to my profile to say that people being closeted is "cartoonish", yet channers are usually closeted, and I know this firsthand after spending time in those communities in the past youtu.be/XLl7HKxGCl8?...

I actually think this is happening because they grew up seeing this stuff in media and they thought it was badass or whatever. Missing the fact it is a satire, as always.
Again, apologizing to all videogame environment artists who knocked up satirical posters for their games, I should not have rolled my eyes, yes, even you Cyberpunk billboard team, I am sorry

The guidelines are often ignored and their history of moderation seems very arbitrary. Considering their work dynamics and that they don't have many employees, it makes me think no more than 3 people engage in moderation with no clear workflow
Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam
This is where we're at now.

I love how old magazines would create characters & write articles to help readers w/tech problems on computers. This is Ryouko-chan, a girl who knows a lot about PC games, & Tomeo-kun, a boy who knows a lot about console games, from "Comptiq Magazine No.178".

One of the reasons they love AI so much is because they can manipulate it to validate their fantasies
Oh good, Glenn Beck has created an AI George Washington. You will be shocked to learn that the AI George Washington created by Glenn Beck sounds exactly like what would happen if Glenn Beck built an AI George Washington to sound exactly like Glenn Beck.

It sucks that it’s so hard to find older VNs nowadays, and the only place that might have them is probably a private tracker I have no way of getting into

Criticisms of Cure Dolly's approach to teaching Japanese grammar are really weird when they come from the "learn grammar through a deck" crowd

I just found out through email that they got my approval for something at work because I accepted a meeting where the approval would be discussed. The only problem is that the meeting was at 5AM, and I couldnt attend so now it's been approved. I'm not even mad I was going to approve it anyway, lol.
