Isn’t the point that you don’t have a choice to just buy a house, because there are obstacles that prevent it. In the same way, I don’t have a choice to use Linux or whatever other foss alternative to the stuff I use daily because my laptop is owned by the company I work for and their policies dictate that it runs windows etc.

Huh, I have never heard of such a thing! Sounds very annoying to say the least

Surely that’s the vaccine, not the needle?

What? That isn’t what I said at all.

I’m not suggesting it should be at all. Not sure how you got that from my comment. I liked the Witcher 3, honestly, but it isn’t a game about freedom and it shouldn’t be imo. It tells character focused stories well, which is harder to do the more choice you give the player.

I feel like the kind of “freedom” players want from an RPG is somewhat inconsistent with playing as a specific character, i.e. Geralt. For me, I want to be my own character and decide who they are and what they do. I never really got on with Geralt because I don’t want to be a moody medieval jedi, I’d much rather be a whimsical wizard or something.

DM me hun x

If this is the same startup I read about a while ago… Well the technology doesn’t actually exist. There’s a vague suggestion that maybe lucid dreams could be induced through techniques that are not properly understood yet, and that’s about it.

If shareholders’ profits are affected then so will the decisions lol

Mm, I’ve already seen marketers present outputs from GPT models as if it’s useful customer feedback. My suspicion is this bubble will burst though, because at some point it will become clear that they are not as good as what they’re doing as execs have been told they are.

And his face half stopped aging! Wild story, always love being reminded of this guy.

Haha, good point. I can’t say I find, for example, Nazi views being downvoted a bad thing, no matter how reasonably they are presented.

Although I haven’t tried much, I feel like the expert badges can bring some of that challenge at least, no?

Hmmm, yes … “Scientists are researching a device” aka “this device does not exist nor does the technology required to build it”

Gamers lose when the store shuts down and you lose access to all of the games you got for free, or worse actually paid for.

Omg this might actually be a good reason to get back on twitter

I mean, good luck with that. It’s near enough impossible to completely remove bias from any source of information… I think Wikipedia does a fairly good job, honestly, and the talk pages mean you can see different perspectives fairly openly.

Assembly is a scrapheap with every sort of technology imaginable but it’s all broken. Could be an iron man suit, or you could just grab a length of rebar.

Do you have an example? Just curious.

Personally I’d rather have crowd sourced bias than the bias of one really rich dude anyways.

The MCU shows (not you, Secret Invasion) have been the best thing they’ve put out over the past few years. I am speaking as an MCU addict… can’t really call myself a fan since the films mostly suck these days but I’ll still watch em… yo ho ho
