I’d believe that LGBTQ+ fans are allowed in Saudi Arabia the day Hell freezes over. I have an easier time believing all the multi-billion dollar international companies around the world are going to disband of their own free will and give people the equivalent of $2 million USD.

I’ll have to look into it because I’d love to have some VMs on my laptop since it way outperforms my desktop specs wise

If I could get vbox to work* on my laptop or find the drive to learn QEMU, then I would have plenty on there. For now I’m just stuck with plenty on my desktop running win10.

*I have installed it a few times on my Debian based distro, but I swear every time I do nothing to it and it destroys itself. Works fine one day, then the next I turn on my laptop, after the only changes being that I created and ran a VM and it decided to hate me and not even boot the program. I think I’m just cursed.

Peglin (Steam, iOS, Android, Switch)

Just released 1.0 a month ago. Simple enough gameplay loop. Throw orbs at pegs on board to fight enemies. Go down different paths on a map until you reach the boss fight at the bottom, upgrading and getting new orbs and relics along the way to help. Repeat 2 more times and you win. Has 20 levels of increasing difficulty after beating your first run, but locked behind standard progression.

Dungoens and Degenerate Gamblers (Steam)

Released beginning of last month. Play Blackjack against opponents, but you each have a life bar. Score higher than opponent to deal damage equal to the difference in your scores to them. Various non-playing cards and other nonsensical cards will appear as playable cards. Things like a get well soon card, SD card, a flat out 21 card, a birthday card, and many more can be found. Go until you either lose all your health or beat the final boss on one of two different routes to be taken.

For some reason, when I started reading those lyrics my mind went to Sam by Meat Puppets.

And if he ever tries to screw over the country by threatening US national security or blackmailing over it, I hope the relevant 3 letter agencies come knocking on his door one night, whisking him away to a place nobody will ever see him again.

Called it. Not in this fashion, but called it.

Nothing brings together enemies quite like a common goal: oppressing everyone who isn’t themselves.

I personally don’t mind them, but I personally think the best kinds of random encounters are ones like pokemon randomizers where you step in the grass in a modded gen 3 game with every single pokemon in existence in it and it randomly pulls from the list of 1000+ mons in order to give you a feeling of true randomness in team building. Especially since you aren’t able to predict which creatures you will get.

Having a random table containing only a few different encounters isn’t anywhere near as fun and exciting as randomly having gods spawn as your enemy as a beginner in a randomized game followed by the weakest creatures in the game a moment later.

I wish I knew my first ever Dead Money playthrough that I could spare Dean. Didn’t know that he’d get pissed off if you pass any skill checks with him. I was kinda surprised when he wanted to kill me because I clearly didn’t pick up on him wanting me dead.

The biggest problem with any of this garbage ideas is procuring land for your country. No sane country/government is willing to just let you buy land and turn it into a country. You’ll buy the land, proclaim it as a new country, then after some government agency gets fed up with you for whatever reason you’re “country” is dead meat. Final step may vary on how long that takes and how it’s handled, but I seriously doubt any country would be dumb enough to let their own citizens form smaller countries within their country without resistance.

Even if it comes down to war over said territory, it would probably take a week maximum to end the dream of a new tiny country being formed inside a larger country, depending on things like country size, military size, etcetera. Only way to secure your land/country would be to pull a Sealand or build an artificial island/platform or something of the sort. Take the Sealand route and you’ll be nothing more than a joke that hardly anyone takes seriously. Build an island/platform and you run into issues depending on where you build it because for some reason countries get pretty pissy when you build artificial islands in their waters without permission or build too close to them.

As much as I dislike twatter, for once I agree with them as I’m a firm believer people should be able to leak things as minor as concept art or unused game art.

I assume currently any AI they might be making would have some level of sanity to it and will give sane responses. So if enough people poison the data, the number of sane responses would probably go down if there’s more LinkedIn Lunatic type responses in the training data than normal responses.

Just copy every post you find on something like LinkedIn Lunatics. Spread them out over the course of a certain interval of time since you’d hope they have spam filters, making sure to repeat the same things and continue adding stuff to the list. Do this for as many accounts as you are able to make.

Enough people do it and hopefully their AI would be constantly saying batshit things, hopefully, assuming the accounts don’t get blocked.

If they ain’t first party, they’re certainly close enough that you couldn’t tell the difference.

I maintain a stance that the only reason they’re still around is because of brand recognition. Literally the only reason I could think of anyone liking their slop.

It’ll be hard to see that when their vision will be blocked by stacks of yen.

The problem is they’re such a large and recognizable company that they could probably switch to making and selling malware and everyone would still buy it without thinking twice. Humanity is full of idiots.

Good call. Let’s ban them both.

I’m personally on the fence about this type of stuff. On one hand, yes I 100% agree about actually keeping kids safer online (not like the politicians “Think of the kids!” type of “safety”). On the other I don’t want anyone to have to give up privacy by having to confirm their age by sending some form of verification, whether that picture/video of ID with birth date on it or having an AI that will inevitably get so many false positives judge you, just to access a service online.
