Diablo 4 apparently is doing well and rather well reviewed too. Seems like their best title since StarCraft 2

Even after silicone lubing all my molex they still suck ass. Hate those things so much

hydro033,

Much more expensive? Have you looked at how much it costs to build subways in the US compared to EU? It's absolutely insane. We are failing to do this affordably. https://www.npr.org/2023/06/26/1184420745/why-building-public-transit-in-the-us-costs-so-much

hydro033,

Can someone explain why SAG-AFTRA is on strike? is is just solidarity with writers? I have a hard time giving a shit about actors not making enough money when there are people way worse off.

hydro033,

Supply and demand. Everyone wants to be an actor, doesn't mean everyone gets to be one. Absolutely an oversupply in that industry. Same with tons of other industries, so cry me a river.

I looked at pay, it's actually very good across the board. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-66196357

The AI thing is interesting, but I thought that was tertiary to these other points.

hydro033,

Get me dem numbers then with your counterpoint.

hydro033,

$125 per day for the lowest budget film possible ie lowest rate possible as an actor? Seems pretty ok to me given the ROI on a 250k budget film. It's only upwards from there. Again, I'm not sure what you expect. Wannabe actors are a dime a dozen. Supply and demand.

hydro033,

Side rant, but do you ever call in to support with a serious problem and they just by default treat you like a granny who doesnt know how to type in a wifi password? That whole process is so frustrating, and they never have the expertise to handle more sophisticated problems.

hydro033,

Inequality is getting worse so it makes sense. I am pro capitalist myself but it needs checks and balances to make it work (ie monopoly busting, higher taxes, stronger social safety nets). Some of the checks have eroded, but they can be brought back, and I am waiting for evidence that a better system can sustainably exist.

Everyone is an environmentalist until we ask them to pay for it.

What's the point of buying new phones every years?

Other than your carrier give it for free or cheap, I don’t really see the reason why should you buy new phone. I’ve been using Redmi Note 9 for past 3 years and recently got my had on Poco F5. I don’t see the point of my ‘upgrade’. I sold it and come back to my Note 9. Gaming? Most of them are p2w or microtransaction...

What's your favorite game you never hear anybody talk about?

Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you’d...

Incredible Machine, Metal Arms Glitch in the System, Wargroove, Gradius 3.

hydro033,

Holy crap there was an HD re-release? I am not even sure which one I actually played. I think it was just TIM 3.0 from 1995

hydro033,

Ridiculous that the only legitimate complaint against this is that it is an "eye sore." A small sacrifice for a massive gain. Additionally, I think they look really cool.

hydro033,

How do you not see it? It's complete with legs and knees and everything. I will die on this hill. https://imgur.com/a/nXdFuJE

I wish i could find my old posts about what a really fun, competently told Space Opera starcraft 1 and brood war together were, and how badly starcraft 2 botched it

hydro033,

@swiff it is indeed awful beyond any redemption

The Most Dangerous Weapon is NOT Nuclear (www.youtube.com)

A breathtaking scientific revolution is taking place – biotechnology has been progressing at stunning speed, giving us the tools to eventually gain control over biology. On the one hand solving the deadliest diseases while also creating viruses more dangerous than nuclear bombs, able to devastate humanity.

hydro033,

Did you read about the program that is making deadly virus genomes open source? It's super spooky to me. USAID Deep VZN program

hydro033,

They'd probably be research techs otherwise making way less tbh
