…well fuck, I didn’t actually expect the former. This world would be so much better without that religious nonsense. -_-
Reddit refugee here.
…I just want an aggregation of different news sources that isn’t run by Nazis. Apparently a tall order on today’s internet. Kbin looks promising!
…well fuck, I didn’t actually expect the former. This world would be so much better without that religious nonsense. -_-
But like… why? Does their religion actually have some angst with music, or is this another one of those “god told me so in a dream!” kinda bullshit?
You’re conflating disagreeing with behaving like a Nazi. I don’t give a fuck what was acceptable back in your day. Today we draw the line at human rights If you get butthurt at being ridiculed for lamenting at the opposition you face when you try to marginalize other groups, then keep that shit to yourself. Or better yet, make an effort to actually get to know some people from the groups you’re directing hatred at - might find you actually start caring about them, and suddenly their rights will mean more to you than the pushback you get for posting slurs online
So, bigoted opinions? Yeah those should be banned.
If we’re talking about whether or not you like pineapples on pizza, no one gives a damn which way you lean.
If we’re talking about human rights, there’s a very clear wrong answer. If your ‘opinion’ falls on the Nazi side of that aisle, this might be your cue to ask yourself “are we the baddies?”
What opinion?
If “Secret World Legends” isn’t already on your radar, it might be up your alley.
Haven’t played GW1, but SWL has a moveset similar to what you described.
It’s set in modern day, with the premise that all myths, conspiracy theories, urban legends etc are all true - and frequently need to be contained. There are three factions: STRONGLY recommend you choose Illuminati (best faction story line by a long shot).
The investigative missions will make you feel like a moron, but in a weirdly good way. SUPER satisfying to figure them out without looking up hints online.
Hate:
Lazy UI porting between PC and console. It goes both ways - radial menus showing up in a PC game or a joystick-controlled-cursor in a console game. M+KB vs controller are not comparable input methods, so trying to manage the UI with one that was built for the other is always a massive pain in the ass.
Inventory restrictions in games that throw a LOT of shit your way. Looking at you, Bethesda. Fortunately there’s usually a mod of some kind to make items weigh like 0.01 lbs, or kick your slots up to 9999 or something. Sometimes realism adds to the experience… inventory management isn’t one of those times.
Sluggish controls. I want to actually enjoy the Dark Souls games SO BAD - they look beautiful, I fuckin love that dark fantasy setting… but moving and combat feel like I’m driving a school bus with boxing gloves on my hands and diving flippers on my feet. I get that the cumbersome controls are a huge part of what makes it difficult, and that the difficulty is what a lot of players are after, but personally that’s not a flavor of difficulty I’ll ever be able to enjoy.
Love:
Good QOL features, especially involving the topics above. Like ‘Hot Deposit’ certain items to all designated storages in range, or AoE loot when a bunch of foes die in a pile. The quick loot style menu from Fallout 4 is another great example. Love that stuff!
Lore. Good story writing, believable/relatable characters, ESPECIALLY the antagonists. Hitting the sweet spot there is a quick ticket to my all time favorites.
Environmental challenges, with fun ways to overcome them. When I was new to Ark, one of the biggest challenges in my first play through was getting into the super cold zones and not freezing to death. My cold weather gear didn’t cut it… the solution I came up with was to tame a paracer (kind of an elephant looking dino) and build a platform on its back: and made like 6 camp fires on the platform. So the I was, trudging through an insanely cold environment on a flaming elephant, cozy as can be. As a veteran player now, there are SO much more efficient methods to solving that problem, but the experience gave a unique sense of accomplishment, which is the kind of thing that got me hooked on that game.
Escorts matching the move speed of the player. 'nuff said.
“Do no evil.” …unless it’s projected as profitable, in which case, evil that shit up!
Nursing student here. Quizlet has an AI function that lets you paste text into it and it outputs a studyset.
Most of my classes provide a study guide of some kind - just a list of topics we need to be familiar with. I’ll take those and plug em into the AI thing: bam! Instantly generate like 200 flash cards to study for the next test.
It even auto-fills the actual subject matter. For example, the study guide will say sometime like “Summarize Louis Pasteur’s contributions to the field of microbiology” and turn that into a flash card that reads:
(front)
Louis Pasteur
(back)
Verified the germ theory of disease
Developed a method to prevent the spoilage of liquids through heating (pasteurization)
Developed early anthrax and rabies vaccines
So I take my list of AI generated cards, then sift through the powerpoints and lecture videos etc from class: instead of building the study set from scratch, all I have to do is verify that the information it spit out is accurate (so far it’s been like 98% on target, often explaining concepts better than the actual professor, lol), add images, and play with the formatting a bit so it reads a little easier on the eyes.
People always talk about AI in school in the context of cheating, but it is RIDICULOUSLY useful for students actually trying to learn.
Looking ahead, this tech has a ton of potential to be used as a kind of personal tutor for each student. There will be some growing pains for sure, but we definitely shouldn’t ignore its constructive potential.
Denial
Anger
Bargaining <– they are here
Depression
Acceptance
Oh, he’s still alive then. Maybe his next stroke will do the trick.
