  • What gameplay systems or game mechanics do you enjoy?

    Jump

  • I like most game mechanics to some extent. Creativity in combining game mechanics is key to making an outstanding game imo.

    However, I don’t like things that force a time limit. I play games as an escape. I don’t like feeling stressed by a clock while I’m off the clock. These can be literal timed missions or things like a food/water meter. Escort missions also suck for similar reasons.

    I think difficulty in a game should come from overcoming a foe, traversing harsh terrain, or solving a puzzle. If the game is hard because I have to stop what I’m doing to feed myself, or I have to rush to complete an objective on a timer, it just becomes work.

  • What are your thoughts on AI?

    Jump

  • Generative ai is just an advanced chat bot, a toy that uses too much power to be efficient.

    My personal experience is that any output has to be double checked and edited. It would be better to just do whatever I asked it to do from the beginning. When it can fact check itself and cite sources, then it might become useful.

    An ai that can comb through vast amounts of data and give an output of specific data relevant to the question presented than a generative ai might be useful. But it can’t analyze data very well at the current moment. It hallucinates too much.

  • Google says it will change Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America' in Maps after government updates

    Jump

  • Because the president should have no say in naming geographic locations that have long agreed upon names. And it’s a waste of money to have to replace all the maps and books with updated names.

    There’s also no reason for Google to change anything. The US government has no power to make Google use this new name instead of the widely agreed upon name.

    It’s a nod to the fact that if Trump says jump google will say “how high?” And no one with any sense likes that bigot.

  • American pride won’t admit defeat, you’re right. However, most Americans are blind to brown nosing. Like Trump, if you just make them feel good emotionally, you can make them do whatever you want. (See the lifting of the tik tok ban)

    Just call us good little boys and girls and tell us Jesus would want us to share, and you’ll have a communist America overnight.

  • That’s just how many middle managers the guy running the wood burning machine had to deal with that week.

  • "The biggest threat to America today is not communism, it's moving America toward a fascist theocracy" - Frank Zappa, 1986

    Jump

  • The laws banning abortion and porn are directly based on the Christian ideology of these people. It may not be your version and they may be hypocrites, but it’s still theocracy.

  • The war on drugs is not a war, the war on terror is not a war. And both of those “campaigns” involved repression of concepts.

  • They may not have called it that but look into the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. Both governments are bad. But the fact Chinese and us citizens are interacting face to face is a major positive.

  • POV: It's January 19th

    Jump

  • Why?

  • Welcome

    Jump

  • It’s been the term for well over a decade. Which is when I learned about the term in college. First, second, and third world are western centric ways to talk about the alliances of Cold War countries. First world was the US, Western Europe and their allies. Second world was the communist countries, and third world was the rest of them.

  • Welcome

    Jump

  • Third World is a defunct term. The current nomenclature is “underdeveloped.”

  • Parasites

    Jump

  • Better than having nothing which is the current situation.

  • New York becomes first US city with congestion charge

    Jump

  • Ok, but that’s still better than each of them coming in, in their own cars.

  • Overwatch 2 Twitch viewership halved as Marvel Rivals takes over

    Jump

  • I’m with you on this. Marvel Rivals feels off/ cheap in a way I don’t really know how to articulate.

    Asking some reasonable questions about Elon Musk's "help" with the Cybertruck bombing case

    Jump

  • They want everyone to know who they are and what they are doing at all times, and they have no sense of shame when they should.

  • It’s a bunghole

    Jump

  • Yes, but no PT.

  • Why not? It sets expectations for the rest of us.

  • That is true for private locations, that is not true for public locations. Most places definition of public intox includes alcohol or any other drugs.
