Fuck Nintendo’s lawyers

FTFY

They still make banger games and consoles.

Vic was really stressed.

Crude oil really, really isn’t the issue.

Where I’m from, if that was happening regularly, the store’s managers would be arrested for fraud. The price on the shelf is THE price of the product. Sure, many people will just blindly accept what’s on the register, but you can complain and if you go to court with the store, you win by default (assuming you have proof, of course) within, like, 48 hours.

Jesus, the world is really fucked up outside of the EU, huh?

People operating this way would end up imprisoned real fast over here. Companies are required to show a 30 day price history.

Also, as side note - don’t people have long term memories? Or shopping history? Like, they don’t notice this shit and just switch providers?

That doesn’t change the fact the game is missing half of the promised content,

That’s just a flat out lie or a delusion.

The most famous example is how “the game was supposed to be like GTA” some people cry over. Source for that? A interview they did where they stated “we want to be more like Rockstar”. The interview was about development cycles, had nothing to do with the game itself, but one YouTuber saw it and made a video about how “Cyberpunk is going to be GTA in the future, expect bowling”, shit like that.

It was never supposed to be anything than it isn’t.

including some that was on the trailers.

I heard that argument bunch of times, someone even showed me a trailer that supposedly showed these “missing features”. The stuff missing? Wall-running and ripping off turrets. That’s it. That’s literally it. They gave a really good explanation as to why wall running is missing, it’s also a flavour feature, not like adding it back in would change the gameplay significantly, so people crying over that is just… weird to me.

The fact is that Cyberpunk was a victim of some of the most ridiculously over-the-top hype in gaming history. And when the game released in the state it did (which - to anyone who’s ever followed anything released by CDPR - was the most benign and obvious thing in the world), people lost their minds, because they were expecting The Gaming Messiah to show up and End All Gaming Suffering. Just stupid from the top down.

Huh! Who would’ve thunk that more grass-roots approach, giving the young people attention and providing possibilities and options would lower crime rates?

Damn, this looks really good! I think I was looking into this game a while ago, so thanks for the review!

Yup. Super clear from the video that she was turning the vehicle away from the agents. Also, the guy had more than enough time to step out of the way, making use of deadly force literally illegal.

With how incompetent they behaved, I was extremely surprised when I learned the victim was white.

We need to keep educating people about it, and I found a really good method - explain it to them using the Chinese Room thought experiment.

In short: imagine you’re in a room with a manual and infinite writing utensils, but nothing else. Every now and again a piece of paper with some Chinese characters is slipped through a slit in the wall. Your task is to get that paper, and - using the provided manual - paint other Chinese characters on another piece of paper. Basically, “if you see X character, then paint Y character”. Once you’re done, you slip your paper through the slit to the other side. This goes on back and forth.

To the person on the other side of the wall, it seems like they’re having conversation with someone fluent in Chinese, whereas you’re just painting shapes based on provided instructions.

I found that this kind of opens people’s minds to what LLMs actually do - which is writing words that have the highest probability of following previous words and the context of the prompt…

Hey, OP, why did you write that this GPU is “the first (…) to rival the Nvidia RTX 4060 in raw performance”?

It appears to fall short of its marketing promises, though. An alleged Geekbench OpenCL listing revealed the G100 achieving a score of only 15,524, a performance tier that effectively ties it with the GeForce GTX 660 Ti, a card released in 2012

It’s nowhere near that, as tests show.

I love that the websites and apps were done by Indian contractors. Nothing speaks “white power” stronger than being incapable of doing anything productive without non-Europeans helping out.

No, I wasn’t familiar with that term.

That being said, if you look past the “gamified” world rules, his writing is really good. I enjoy the worlds he crafts, they’re pretty unique in design, the magic systems are interesting and fresh. And his narration style is also up my alley.

I don’t remember the appearance of either Vin or Spensa being in any way an important or even relevant piece of the stories.

The entirety of the focus was on what the girls were doing, not how they looked.

God forbid teenage girls have someone they can look up to in Fantasy in SciFi! Oh, the horror!

Most of his books are written like he’s pretty desperate for someone to make a video game adaptation. The metal (“fuel”) and “classes” in Mistborn, the way weapons work in the Cytoverse, etc., etc., it all seems specifically designed for a game adaptation.

Hopefully Mistborn goes to a studio that knows what they’re doing and the gameplay is actually fun!

Tesla, at least, did something on their own. Trump phone, however, if it ever gets released, will be just a drop-shipped Huawei.

THANKS OBAMA

Corrected title:

The “Trump phone” just “missed” another “release date”

We all know it’s just a grift, right?

Is anything related to AI even in yet? Or is it that they just placed the flag in there for future use, but no features are in?
