I’m sure there was a threshold they had set for that, but I doubt it ever made it. For Microsoft something can’t just be very profitable, it has to be insanely profitable

I loved it. It’s a modern rct2 for sure. I couldn’t find anything that was super different about this versus roller coaster tycoon 2. The gameplay is fun, I got easily addicted to it, they added a couple new elements that were kind of fun, I don’t know if you’re debating about it. I think it’s worth the money completely

I went on facebook as an experiment for a couple of weeks, try it out again, even take part.

Algorithm quickly caught on that I liked some interests - transit, trains, Taylor Swift, and EVs.

It was fine for a while, made a few comments, engaged with a few people, both who agreed and not.

All of a sudden over the last week I’m seeing just pure propaganda - BS “headlines” like “50% of Americans regret buying their EV”. Absolutely unproven horseshit, but there it is.

Facebook is absolutely culpable in this mess. They straight up promote it, and for me I was pro all of that stuff, it switched on me.

Yeah idk. I get what they’re saying completely, but this exact one seems easy. Just do a validation check and throw an error. I mean, it is an IP validator after all. Either support hex or don’t.

“we had this idea, no idea if it’s possible, we may not make it, but fuck anyone else who tries to do this”

Not a bad reason to want to play as yourself at all, but after the first playthrough or so then it’s time to start experimenting. One of the great things about RPGs is that you can be someone else entirely, and I think it opens us up to other ways of thinking. Playing as female shepard is at times a completely different experience, and you just want to explore it. It’s the guys who are afraid of playing as a woman, who think it’s not masculine or something weird like that. That’s not okay, drop the masculinity, be the awesome femshep bitch you were born to be. Plus to them, I like to say, “Why would I want to stare at a guy’s ass for 100+ hours?” Usually fucks with their masculinity a bit

Lol I did, whoops.

FemShep is the best way imo.

I’ve heard the weirdest excuses for why not though, worst ones were “why would I want to play as a woman, I’m a man”. Now, on your first playthrough absolutely but after that?

This is all over a GitHub stars badge? Developers probably want to encourage people to star it. It’s a huge stretch to say they’re trying to track people

I like to do things cost per hour. A $60 dollar video game that gives me 120 hours of content is $0.50 an hour. Pretty good if you ask me.

Going to the movies is $20 for 2 hours. $10 an hour. Pretty high, sometimes worth it. That’s about my gauge.

This is $21 an hour. For that I better be having just an amazing time, I better be at Disneyland or something.

I was just thinking yesterday how the rest of the country’s conservatives look at Seattle as a burning liberal hellscape, but we actually have a lot of conservatives here. What do the conservatives here think when fox news says that capital hill is still under riots?

Costs is the key thing. People know it’s nice, so people move here, and costs go up. Expect 2000/month rents, and that’s the low side in some areas

For me it’s useful, depending how it’s implemented. Being able to say “summarize this article” or “summarize this ToS and call out anything that’s anti consumer” is how I use chatgpt

Edgy McEdgerson is checking in!

All crime TV is just godawful. Was just law and order and saw the tech person say “come on, you know there isn’t a hard drive I can’t lick”

I’ve never seen HR use data brokers. I would think that could open them to a lot of risk, finding out things that aren’t legal to know about someone before saying yes. All of mine have used actual background check agencies

not sure about CoD myself, but Halo was my franchise of choice. Over the last couple of games they’ve changed social playlists to still alter your skill, I’m not 100% on the details of how, but essentially it means ranked is where you go to compete, social is where you go to practice for ranked. It’s become extremely frustrating because you have everyone trying way, way too hard in social games, getting angry when things don’t go perfectly, and dropping out of games that aren’t competitive enough leaving us with lopsided teams.

I just wish games had a “Hey, no skills here, just in and have fun, there’s no points or levels, that’s over there” style gaming. And if there is skill based matchmaking in that style, then we shouldn’t know about our level in those games.

Social playlists were unranked, vs ranked playlists. They generally had no stakes to play, and there were no benefits for players in there except to have fun. You couldn’t boost your skills or anything in socials, the only way to do that was to play the ranked playlists. So for me, it was just a blast playing those. Just a bunch of people who wanted to have fun

Then they wonder why I have 2000 hours in the $30 game Satisfactory and haven’t logged anything in my favorite multiplayer games. Apples and oranges I know, but why do I want to be sold to constantly?
