So, the second bit is basically you re-affirming my point about True AI. We can’t have it because of society’s complete distrust and because of that alone, is why we have mostly LLMs and have to specifically train some other AI models.
It’s awfully sad that in modern times, retirement isn’t so much focused on living your final years in complete comfort and do what you want. The system has forced old individuals back to work again and we’re not guaranteed anymore if these safety nets will be there for us.
Easy, just quit a few casual matches and they’ll escalate the time they’ll bar you from entering any game mode.
That’s how bad. Add in a few words from their arbitrary unknown list of words you can’t say and you’ll find it permanent.
It has seen better days. But, Psyonix shot themselves in the foot by taking exclusivity with Epic and even allowing themselves to be bought out by Epic.
I play every blue moon, but I can’t care anymore since it’s too easy to get banned and Psyonix sucks the cocks of not only Epic Games, but elitist players.
As little tropes as possible.
Yeah, was going to say. Anna’s Archive was targeted when they decided to drag music into the mix. What did that get them? Attention from the record labels. The Internet Archive has been targeted of multiple lawsuits, they’re not immune. Just like a decentralized archive will not be immune. If you host it from the US, you’re asking for trouble.
Welp, gotta kill another then.
It’s already there.
We need to stop thinking about whether we’ll terraform mars or the moon. We don’t simply have the tools or resources to simply make it happen. All we know right now, is that billionaires have fucked this planet up.
We’re not having a video game crash, not anytime soon. Video Games are a multi-billion dollar industry.
The current crisis right now, as is with other industries, is crooked executives fucking with studios. And largely getting away with it.
Flavor-of-the-week games.
These are games that get streamed and people just mindlessly fall over on themselves to get - simply because they watched a streamer play them. It’s happened with Fall Guys, it’s happened with Simulator games, it’s happened with other similar games. They would be popular for a good two weeks worth and then dead afterwards just so people can fawn over the next game.
It is a symptom of people chasing that carrot on the stick.
Lego should sue their balls off over the attempt for just trying to look like Lego.
They aren’t even good work simulators either. People play them just for the jankiness.
Dragonball: Evolution.
Yeah, I forced myself to sit through this shitshow. All it did, was solidify my opinion that animation to live action anime adaptations are garbage and will forever be garbage and I will not care how fondly you think some live adaptation of an anime is done.
The last fight sequence of the movie, was nothing but CGI glittery dust being spat between characters, they couldn’t be bothered to make actual ki beams. And they had the audacity to think that they’d be successful enough to warrant another film?
Tool’s Fear Inoculum. I wasn’t really wow’ed by this album. 13 years since 10,000 days and we got this. Just because every song was 10+ minutes long (save for one and it’s a joke song. and excluding the Digital version), doesn’t mean it was good. But because people waited so long for another Tool album, they just accepted it.
I’m so tired of finger-touch interfaces. Especially when they lag and they don’t register your input right away.
I remember being so pissed at the Mandarin part. That would’ve been the most fitting way to conclude the Iron Man series of films (provided they weren’t going to carry them on anymore) and it was Iron Man’s personal arch nemesis. And they made the Mandarin just a dude pretending to be him.
While the real baddy was just some human glowstick who heats up at random or whatever, I don’t care how or anything. I just didn’t care anymore after the Mandarin screw up. Fuck that movie.
Same. I still have the discs around for no particular reason. I watched Desolation of Smaug in theaters, but then I watched all three of them in a row at somepoint.
My point still stands, so much unnecessary clutter for an otherwise short book.
Like okay, I know people were probably eager to see something Middle-Earth related after they felt like it’s been ‘forever’ ago since the LOTR films up until the Hobbit ones. But, they didn’t need to do the Hobbit that dirty. But, Amazon raised the ante later on. I’m not watching the Rings of Power, ever. Not even because of the diversity issue, but, it supposedly is based on the Silmarillion and I consider that my sacred book not to be fucked with and I don’t want to see a show that probably is going to mess with it.
So I’m going through this right now with my therapist who I’ve been with for 3 years now. And, the last session I had with her, was an attempt to re-align what we’re to work on because the session before that, I was in no mood to discuss whatever it was she wanted to work on with me. And I felt incredibly invalidated and unseen because, I was showing a lot of visual cues that was like “I’m not interested, I’m emotional, I’m angry at everything and everyone right now” and while she did pick up on that, she obliviously carried on.
There had been an awful lot of questionable things she’s told me that didn’t simply sit well. I’m not sure if she’s not articulating her points well or what, I’d like to think she isn’t being deliberate but she delivers her words so conclusively that it really makes me convinced that she’s not helping as much as she thinks.
You’re going into therapy, to unpack, to learn about and to work with mental issues or challenges that you yourself need a little assistance on. You’re trusting a professional (someone with PsyD, PhD .etc) to do that for you and their job is to help navigate, resolve and help you understand. They aren’t there to sugarcoat anything, if they’re going to tell you something that is something you didn’t realize before, it’s going to hurt.
I know for certain that therapists are not meant to leave you feeling worse off, like mine kinda is now. They aren’t supposed to argue with you, raise your emotional levels or escalate anything. They also aren’t yes-men either. It’s about finding the right neutral balance and if a therapist can’t do that for you, then it’s not really a good form of therapy.
Definitely will be trying that, sounds and seems very interesting.
We’re already having issues with self-driving as is.
