Bro I love Cryptopsy, their album None So Vile slays!

Air is a gaseous fluid.

This is just how birds look at all of us.

Alright, valid, you’re right, the presented limiting factor in the meme is in fact the SoL and not actually man’s ability to reach it. I concede, cheers.

Except that a large point of my comment is pointing out the hubris of man, so it’s important to note that ants are not hyperintelligent. They organize and build, but there is a finite limitation to their capability, at least in this and any known previous state of their evolution. Like that we are the most intelligent thing on our little planet doesn’t imply to me that we are not effectively to scale with ants on the cosmic level.

Of course, but I’m trying to work within the established framework of the meme here

It does sort of feel like we’re in the butthole of universes, doesn’t it?

Do you believe that the wide expanses of our planet Earth were crafted for the common ant to explore?

Chalk isn’t chalk?

I am not saying the two are equally comparable, but I wonder if the same “most rapid change in human written communication” could also have been said with the proliferation of computer-based word processors equipped with spelling and grammar checks.

The reason chatgpt would recommend Nike though is because of its human-based training data. This means that for most humans the Nike ad campaign would also be the first suggestion to come to mind.

I’m not saying LLMs aren’t having an impact, or denying that said impact is negative, but the way people talk about them is infuriating because it just displays a lack of understanding or forethought on how these systems work.

People always talk about how they can tell something “sounds like chatgpt” or, as is the case here, is the default chatgpt answer, while ignoring the only reason it would be so is because of the real human patterns which it is mimicking.

Brief caveats: of course chatgpt is wildly fallible and when producing purely generative content it pulls from nowhere because it’s just remixing unrelated sources, but for things within the normal course of discussion and output chatgpt’s output is vastly more human-like than we want to pretend.

I would almost guarantee that Nike’s “just so it” was the singularly most popular answer to this kind of assignment before chatgpt existed too.

Reminds me of this modern classic: https://youtu.be/Cf2Q-McO_Fw

I would have pre-ordered Civ7, but then they announced it has Denuvo so now instead of pre-ordering I’m just not going to buy it at all.

Fuck denuvo and fuck corporations who think their customers should just bend over and accept whatever bullshit they offer for the “privilege” of playing their game.

There is so much good indie gaming content these days, we don’t need these abusive mega-corp games.

Star Trek to me will always be the story and misadventures of a post-Utopian humanity.

I’m sorry, but any of the dystopian or counter-utopian or tearing down utopia series feel not just not like Star Trek to me, but fully contrary to it.

Fun fact, that braindead player has just as much right to play the game and have fun as you do. Your gameplay superiority in fact does not entitle you to more of the game.

je ne suis pas français, chappeau

I tried googling this to see if I was missing some reference or something and it led to strange google behavior I’ve never seen before… When I search “je ne suis pas français, chappeau” without the quotation marks, Google automatically changes the French to English in the search bar when I hit the search button.

Anyone else experienced this? For what possible fucking purpose would that exist?

Epic: “Steam has an unfair monopoly!”

Epic: “What? We never said we didn’t like monopolies, we just don’t like Steam being the ones with the monopoly!”

I’m not saying it’s exactly KH, I’m saying it’s in the action-rpg hybrid combat genre like KH. I don’t enjoy either of their combat. As for my experience, I completed the first KH game and I’m like 90% through FFVII remake, but it is a fucking chore every single time combat happens. I think basically all action-rpg crossover combat is shallow. I want them to give me either a fully satisfying action experience or a fully satisfying RPG combat experience, stop dicking around in this dumb compromise space

I just don’t want this half-assed combat. If they wanted to make this an action game, go full action and give us a DMC-like experience. If they want it to be an RPG, either stick to classic turn-based or iterate in some way that isn’t a shitty compromised half-step between two things, don’t give us this shallow Kingdom Hearts-like (but worse) half & half. I guess I’m in the minority on this but I personally find action RPG hybrid combat systems almost always unsatisfying; very few games offer me something that doesn’t feel like a cheapened knock off of some better game style.

100%. I literally keep falling asleep during combat being it’s so mindless and boring.
