I don't really have a point, I'm just one guy, but EA being an evil company is an open fact and has been since forever so I dont like to give them money so I dont and have 0 FOMO about it 🤷

Last one I bought was 2011's Shadows of the Damned, which I didn't like very much and I'm really hyped Grasshopper won't have those AAA constraints anymore

Imperial units are actually so much better across the board then metric. We also don't have all these orphan flop units that mostly exist in theory. Decimeter is like an inbred french bulldog, of length units. Its not healthy

All the time I get these specs for huge assets that are unlabeled units, gimme a 6000x2000. I can infer that its mm from experience but I never get asked for 6mx2m.

I, for one, think it's brilliant that our new media industry lives and dies on parasocial relationships — streamers, podcasters, influencers, celebrity creators and developers — and now our next step, bravely, wisely, is to axe them all and pivot to computer generated content made by nobody.

It's my honor and privilege as a Minnesotan to be able to vote for Ilhan Omar, the best vote I've cast in my life, because I know she'll always fight for what's right and with the backing of her constituents (me). She's wildly popular because she's great. Every American should be so lucky.

Without her student loan forgiveness wouldn't have ever been in the same room as The Table, and she's been punished for opposing Palestinian genocide by both "sides of the aisle", and continues to righteously do so. These things matter to me as an American and her constituent.

She condemned the Biden U.S. arms deal with Israel, and as retaliation the Biden administration opened an investigation against her. The Trump administration is actually piggybacking off that Democratic investigation. Both parties are cesspools of Islamophobia.

Another reason to be thankful, on this Canadian Thanksgiving, that I'm north of the border. It would perhaps be edifying, however, to inquire exactly where the fuck the Democratic Congressional "Leadership" is. Oh, wait, silly me, she's Muslim so they won't lift a finger to help her.

saw a thing about the Gates foundation paying to bring "AI" access to the global south and i was thinking it's as if every dollar paid to increase "AI" access is like a dollar made to make education worse. i wonder what the ratio is. like every $1 of AI negates $1 spent on education or is it like $4

You can’t have it both ways. You can’t be “It’s simple math, vote blue no matter who, grow up” and ALSO believe you are fighting fascism by making calculations as to who’s expendable. The world we’re in now demands more from us. More from everyone.

Can't stop thinking about how younger generations seem to create new history for eras they weren't adults for and lack the proper context for. Blogs were quite popular, podcasts were a niche interest, and wiki has always been a useful tool that you still can't directly cite as a source.

Feel like we've all memory-holed the era where blogging, podcasts, and wikipedia were considered the equivalent of slop
