The navy manual for troubleshooting equipment in the field includes “lift 3-6 inches and drop”

I won’t lie.I don’t get it.

In order to make crossing intersections quicker to get through, the new town policy has trains jumping others using newly installed skateboard ramps.

I use to spend so much time on there as a kid. I had a flashback as soon as I saw that avatar.

I think the difference is that helldivers 2 never required me to log into anything except my steam account to play until only recently.

Just be cause the game says it may require it, but it’s not enforces from day 1, doesn’t change that feeling of having the rug pulled.

People don’t have a problem with needing an account, they have a problem with suddenly needing to have an account if they purchased and played it without one.

El Hazard, is that you? It’s been so long.

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.

Same, largely. I love the look and feel of everything but…

I dunno. I just struggle to remain engaged in it. And I can’t decide on a char build either for some reason.

My friend group all said they stopped at the part where you rescue a certain somebody from a BD den, too. Which they said it just felt meh.

I’m slowly trying to force myself through it.

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.

Iirc, boogie is known to use sugar daddy websites?

I mean… he won that one. I’d congratulate him on a well played feint as I died from lack of care.

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.

It depends. Self publishers on places like Amazon Kindle are probably making that choice themselves. They choose their own covers.

I understand a Self publisher has less financial resources but… there’s no good answer.

For large publishing firms, they have a choice. They pick books they think will do well and support it with cover art, marketing, etc.

When you have things like Fallout’s TV series using AI art to market itself? That’s a multi-billion dollar company. They can afford not to. I don’t fault the writer for a book that a publisher forces AI onto, but as long as they stay with a publisher who openly forces them to use AI, I will hold my stance.

One bad apple ruins the bunch.

Cosby was the titular character. His actions reflect on everyone. The supporting cast and crew did good work and were paid (hopefully fairly) for it, and I hope their efforts will always be remembered but the work is also tainted now.

One thing I’m unsure of is if Cosby wrote any of the shows. If so, his creeping shadow gets worse because he’s a hypocrite. If not, then it’s unfortunate to the writers.

There will never be a black or white answer in this but I have to draw lines somewhere. I don’t demonize the supporting cast, only the titular one.

The cast can and should denounce Cosby in cases like that but… again, Apple and the bunch.

I don’t separate them. To still partake in the art helps boost their popularity and their message.

I also can’t claim to support a group while boosting their biggest antagonist. I also see this spreading into the AI area.

If I see authors using AI cover art, I blacklist them. AI voices for characters in games? I’ll swerve. I can’t claim to support a community of artists and then shoot them in the foot at first opportunity.

I mostly hated that the skill trees are still mostly % increases. Cyberpunk retooled their entire skill tree because of that.

It’s a type of gameplay progression that just isn’t that fun - but Bethesda loves it.

My only gripe with solo is that I preferred the EU version of his backstop. More in the imperial pilot thing.

But I had already accepted that there would be new canon.

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?

I always get excited when I see a new CnC tiberian sun trailer has dropped… but I should know better…

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.
