Sounds awesome. Cancer can get fucked.

Who will finish first, George R.R. Martin or Team Cherry?

Team Cherry. Honestly, this wasn't a fair fight.

You dodged a bullet! She sounds absolutely awful.

Hans Moravec.

Wut. How the fuck is this constitutional?

Oh right, because we have corrupt assholes in the SC who will just say it is.

EDIT: Ah okay, this is exempted for proper US citizens. They're probably fucked then as shitty as it is!

Trailer has dropped. I'm a huge fan of the book and only just re-read it along with my wife (her first time) just a few years ago so I know how things play out pretty well. But if you don't remember the book or haven't read it, I would not watch this trailer, it was very spoiler-y to me. It would be very easy based on this trailer to figure out how things play out. Good trailer though.

 

 

Yeah I didn't even think of that. I was just super hyped for it, but you're right, it is not a good trailer for those who didn't read it and are weary of spoilers!

From the sounds of it he's mostly worried about more grounded issues like misinformation, propaganda, and irresponsible or malicious actors using AI.

These are appropriate concerns and Google is a bad place to be if you care about those things (or you'll just get fired.)

Throwing some shade here, but shouldn’t we be asking the same of the MTA?

I suspect for people closer to the ground floor, the answer is yes, and they're probably trying very hard to make it so despite other logistical nightmares imposed upon them. Getting rid of twitter would be a very small step along that path.

I had a great time this weekend with SW:JS, despite terrible CTDs and wonkie frame rate. The game is fun and I love the mini Elden Ring-esque exploration hub that is Koboh. That said, the patches can't come soon enough! I would think they would have something out prior to this weekend simply because the clock is ticking on the release of Zelda. 

 

P.S. I took my family to see the Mario movie, it was not good! You are strongly slapped across the face with the fact that this movie only exists as a long advertisement for Nintendo and nothing else. A waste of time and money! 

I thought the Mario movie was better than I expected. I actually watched the whole thing on Twitter! My bar may have been quite low if the only reason I watched it is because it was bootlegged on twitter by people giving Elon the ol’ middle finger though.

Where? Asking so I can be sure to steer clear of this flagrant piracy.

You're going to have to chase around  The one I used got taken down after I finished. I saw another person had posted another after that, but it's probably down now too and you'd have to find another.

I saw it on twitter earlier but it was only an hour of it. I didn't watch it though.

I think 1 hours is the upload limit. For the person I used, they had the second part in the first reply.

I just watched this... on twitter.

People are just posting the whole thing on twitter and twitter is way to slow (and probably understaffed) to catch it fast enough.

Sees people complaining about it running at 47 FPS

Recommends they go play it at 63% of that FPS

To be fair, variable 40-50 FPS is worse than a locked 30 FPS because of the god awful micro stutter*, even with VRR IMO. But it's always trivial to vsync to 30 if you can do >40, so we're back to this not being a reason to go console instead.

*Locked 40hz on a compatible display is solid though

Yeah, I’m going to wait.

ok doomer

I wouldn't say "doom." I think humanity will survive. But I do think life is going to suck for a lot of the world unless we do a better job responding to the issue starting... as soon as possible!

Yeah, millennials seem to be the first generation to not get as conservative as they age, and the theory is it's mainly because they aren't getting as wealthy as previous gens at the same rate.

There's also that whole world turning to shit from climate change in their future thing to worry about.

A grand sequel with soulslike action and the spirit of a throwback platformer.

I'm playing it Friday regardless.

The debate now becomes: wait to see if performance patches improve it on PC or get it for the PS5. (Assuming performance is better on PS5?? I have no idea)

This whole thing is such a shit show.

Lol. I beat it twice and my first time I was having an awful time in my life. So now that things are better I decided to play it again. 

 

Listen, it's definitely not a bad videogame but Aloy and the entire world they built just never clicks with me. 

I'm just giving you a hard time  It's okay if you don't like it.

That said, I often feel like the game doesn't do a good enough job encouraging people to play it in the most interesting ways. Some of the combat scenarios I've seen by good players is truly awesome and I have a feeling most players just shoot their bow indefinitely. There's a video on twitter I saw the other day that is insane. I can't post twitter links on this board, but if you want to find it, checkout the profile Much118x, and look at their tweet and video on April 22nd.

Why are so many people saying “FORBIDDEN WEST DLC HINTS AT A THIRD ENTRY IN THE SERIES!” … uhh… so did the main game, did they like, not play or beat it?

Yeah that's a bit much. It does give a bit more of an outline of what the missions will entail, but it's not some great revelation given that the main game basically tells you who the new big bad will be.

I COMPLETELY understand your thoughts. I made more progress in the dlc and its just...ok. I'm definitely not looking forward to Horizon 3. I just don't like this world and characters. Aloy blows. 

You say that now, but in 2 weeks you're going to be telling us you started over, from the beginning, again

Uh… the graphics take a noticeable bump up when you start the DLC. Character/enemy models are the same, but environments seem better and especially water effects and clouds.

Yeah, the clouds are amazing and they published a blog on how complex it was to make it happen:

It’s a sad story, because he’s a great actor. Completely destroyed what would have been a storybook career because he couldn’t control himself and his temper. 

I agree, though I feel compelled to point out that it's also sad because he's been abusing people! I'm sure you agree, but I think limiting the description of why it's sad to how it affects his career and our entertainment can be alienating to people who have suffered abuse.

Is my employee just trash, or is there now some online backlash against Favs and Filloni and some new found love for JJs nonsense?

 

Because I’ll quit the internet for good if  now going to be assaulted with THOSE awful takes 😂

I've, thankfully, yet to encounter that, FWIW.
