I mean, if the super wealthy are sitting back, in their mansions, when each of these conflicts erupts, and they start placing bets on which side wins, it might play a role in which side our government leaders choose to arm/support.
I have many negative options of this show. Ultimately, while Lucy was…okay… Norm and chet had my favorite dynamic and didn’t act like complete morons most of the time.
They seemed to have set out with the intention of making the BoS a slapstick comedy rayher than a serious player consisting of intelligent humans. Especially Knight Titus and Maximus felt like horribly written characters.
I understand them going for humor but… I feel the slapstick nature of it really took away my enjoyment of it.
While fallout has had humor in it, I felt it was backseat to the actual atmosphere of its story of surviving the wasteland. In the series, slapstick seems to be all it is.
Also I don’t understand why they added the thing about ghouls.
Personally, I’d like to see a bit more adjustment in ship abilities.
It feels like they’ve got active abilities on every ship you have to press to get them using their full potential. Even if they have adjusted the length and timer of the cool down, It doesn’t feel very good to me that way.
Red alert 3 kinda killed me because every unit had an alternate mode or active ability I had to use and target on enemies. If you weren’t constantly toggling abilities on all units or making use of these targeted abilities you were going to get rolled.
I’m hoping we can move some of these abilities over into researchable passives. It feels like adding all these activatables is ment to increase the skill ceiling for competitive gaming, which I can also see how that may be beneficial.
I am surprised this made it to SCOTUS. When the government is demanding it, it becomes a 1st amendment issue. Meta is acting as an agent of the government. This should have never happened.
There is a difference between “please delist things telling people to drink bleach to cure covid” and “remove this negative story of the government or else”
This kind of harkens back to the idea of shouting fire in a crowded theater. Misinformation, specifically about pandemics, or alluding threats against officials, can lead to a much larger issue.
Even Kavanaugh states that it is not uncommon for these requests to be denied by social media companies.
This does not cross into first amendment issues because the government is protesting the spread of misinformation, threats, or government secrets, but can very rarely compel something.
In your post, you mentioned Meta. Meta choosing to accept the government concerns is acceptable as Meta is a corporation enacting its own will. In particular, Meta chose to help stop the spread of misinformation in order to benefit society. Which sounds really wierd to say about Meta. It’s the bare minimum, but still.
If you told Meta they aren’t allowed to stop the spread of misinformation, you’d be then restricting the ability of a corporation to stop the spread of things such as hate speech, calls for violence, etc. Which a corporation could then be found liable for.
Meta as a corporation, has chosen to moderate that information, and users have agreed to that moderation when they chose to use Meta’s platform.
I can see them replacing artists to Ai generate art assets like in-game posters, promotive material, concept art… AI will have its uses, but I see them using it to fire the low hanging fruit like artists.
One game already replaced the voice actors for AI except when they needed a character to grunt. It’s all downhill from here for a bit.
Star Wars was always my favorite sci fi universe for so long…
Now with what Filoni and Disney has done with it, i just dunno any more. I feel lost. I loved Andor and Rogue One though, but apparently they aren’t the most popular?
Weirdly, I had a save corruption caused by selling a ship I stole. After new Atlantis broke, whenever I would go through a load screen my char customization would randomize. Sometimes I’d be a woman, sometimes a man. It was a wild time.
Obviously it’s a very hyped up game, and I was apprehensive posting this as they have sufficient marketing behind them already. It’s meme’d as “Pokemon with Guns”, but at its core is a very heavy survival play style....
The last 4 days I’ve played have been me trying to get pals optimized into actual automation. It’s a new type of tedium of trying to get things running smoothly.
They kind of overplayed the amount of automation you could do, I feel. Some of the trailers are very misleading in this regard. One video shows lines of Cattiva carrying ingots from behind a forge, but they won’t pull from a forge AFAIK. So it appears they dropped a stack to let the cats carry to a chest in the semblance of a bucket brigade.
A lot of my work in fixing my bases is getting them working the jobs they’re best at. Anubis is my tier 4 crafter? Well he’s busy carrying berries.
Still enjoy it though. I wish I had a Digimon game like it.
Its pretty clear that the automation aspect was a little over sold in some of the trailers. In one trailer, two lines of cattiva are carrying iron bars from what appears to be a forge.
Pals won’t pull out of forges AFAIK. So it feels like they threw 2 stacks of iron behind the forge and recorded it as an automation demonstration.
I think I’ve spent the last 4 days not doing anything except trying to get the pal automation to be a little more controlled…
I find that i can spot AI Images fairly easily these days, especially the sort of fantastical tableaus that get posted to the various AI communities around lemmy. I’m tired of seeing them; it all looks the same to me. Was wondering if im being too sensitive, or if other people are similarly bored of the constant unimaginative...
I’m against AI-generated anything as a principal. I have too many friends in the art community who’s primary form of income is the art they create.
I think I’ve become more jaded over time. I blacklist authors who use AI generated cover art, and I’m getting to the point that I want to do the same for games because I am so tired of hearing AI voices to replace characters, even if that character is an AI in the game.
Again, it doesn’t stem from my hate of new technology, but rather the people being effected by that technology - the artists, voice actors, what have you. And also there’s that thing where I do not want to talk to a chat robot for things.
Politicians constantly talk about stopping the illegal immigrants that are coming from Mexico, but putting a wall has never and will never be a solution since the reason why so many displaced keep coming across the border is mostly to escape the crime, corruption, inequality, and violence of they have to live in their home...
A thing to remember is that legal prostitution is still a vector in the human trafficking trade. Even where it’s legal, women are forcefully relocated to those nations and forced to work.
Most of the prostitution issues would be handled, but you would still need to account for it.
The cartel is probably far beyond drugs and prostitution only these days. Arms trafficking, human trafficking, etc would remain largely viable methods of funding.
And the cartels are smart enough that they’d just shift pipelines and continue to be a large issue.
Even in countries where prostitution is legal women are being trafficked against their will to those countries to be forced into sex work.
They’re already being trafficked to the US to be forced into prostitution, why would they care if it’s legalized. It wouldn’t affect their trafficking.
But I also feel you may be inflating the ramifications of legalization of drugs and prostitution. I believe it was Canada or one of the US states where the cost of legally sold Marijuana was still too high and people turned to their old dealers. You’d see the cartel enter the market again with cheaper, more dangerous options for those who can’t afford the higher priced, taxed, and regulated products.
We can regulate those who wish to operate above board, but you can’t stop the pipeline.
Not necessarily true. Sometimes a corporation is willing to continue with a bad choice in order to achieve some strange goal. Just look at Facebook absolutely going all in on Meta or Disney going ham on strange starwars choices.
Google search failed to even find a hollywood movie, even after 1 hour of attempts. I don’t really care about the movie, but I am terrified by the prospect that google now ceased to function on this basic level. Why is this happening?...
What ultimately annoyed me were a lot of small things adding up quickly. Or maybe small things.
Like quest and story writing across the board was just bland and bad in my opinion. I’m not a huge fan of multiverses as well either but that ones majorly subjective to people.
But things like the story between the UC and FC; who would agree to lock themselves to a few settled worlds in that much untamed space? And FC being cowboys of all things, really? I generally agree with story issues pointed out by people like PatricianTV and a few other youtubers who wrote essays on the issue of the story and setting.
Stories like the ancient generation ship had me super intrigued in the trailers but in gameplay it was just dull and empty. I could have seen a thousand ways that story could have been enhanced but they went with 3 options noone felt strongly for.
Quests across the board felt that way, just… missed potential and empty writing.
Weapon design was also… strange. They sounded like guns, sure. But they took a huge step back from the fo4/76 weapon design process that felt great. Modifying receivers to keep a gun current felt good in those two games but they decided on fixed damage values for tiers? And the designs of the guns themselves was strange. Some of them could not realistically move a bullet from their magazine to the receivers. Even in a scifi setting at least try to make a grounded design first, then add from there.
Interpret improvements as you like. For me it's any large scale reforms or legislative packages designed to improve the country for all or see to the material interests of the majority without overly benefiting the elite....
The problem with the ACA was that it had to make a lot of compromises to get it through with support by Republicans. While the ACA was initially very unpopular, it’s become more popular in time (if you discount rebranding efforts like Kentucky Connect being the name of the ACA marketplace there… Then Kentucky politicians calling ACA broken but Connect good causing Connect to be popular but ACA not in that state).
It was a good effort at getting the foot in the door for universal Healthcare one day, imo.
What if the only reason countries, like the U.S., agree to arm other countries when they are in conflict, is because international billionaires have placed bets on which country will win?
I mean, if the super wealthy are sitting back, in their mansions, when each of these conflicts erupts, and they start placing bets on which side wins, it might play a role in which side our government leaders choose to arm/support.
