Pretty sure it was a bald eagle.

“(Girls) They’re always trying to tie me down (Boys) This fucked up world keeps spinning 'round (Girls) But one day I will burn it down”

Ah, genocide at home, in Gaza AND possibly in Ukraine instead.

Genius!

Nice. I might actually check this out.

Played it on Sega Mega Drive back in the day. There was also a dope game called Skitchin’ that was like Road Rash almost, but on roller blades…

Loved Carmageddon, Twisted Metal, Destruction Derby, FlatOut etc as well.

Is this Road Rash with more bells and whistles?

Being gullible or stupid isn’t an excuse.

Especially not in 2024.

Man, after the dust settled once the third reich crumbled, that was the excuse millions of people in Germany had.

Most people weren’t on board with or even know about the genocidal engine underpinning it all, but they sure as hell could see the other bad shit that was going on, and by the time it was obvious for everyone, it was much too late, because they controlled everything and harsh punishments were known to be expected for everyone except the ultra-privileged.

Nah, man. Being an inflexible, obnoxious asshole is not an excuse to put millions of people in danger and setting horrendous precedents.

Always gonna upvote New Vegas.

Great song from a rather underrated nu metal gem of an album.

Jag håller helt med. Tveksamt beslut av vem som nu godkände detta.

Det framgår väl i artikeln att kameran i fråga har ett “inbyggt”, dvs hårdkodad censur som inte går att ta bort från råmaterialet.

Men ja, de som bodde där kunde ju ha fysiskt skärma av om det ändå känts olustigt.

Sheesh, apparently it’s 340 eur ordered from Sweden. I mean, I’m sure it’s great, but that’s an insanely steep price.

I hope you find good use for it!

These models can’t write satisfyingly/convincingly enough yet.

But they will.

Porn fakes are old news, yes - but what the post you replied to is talking about is “deep learning” (remember that, before the great deluge of “AI”?) fakes, which to some extent either uses generative networks to swap out or alter the face/body, or straight up generate simulacra graphics/video, as opposed to a human doing for the most part comparatively bad hack jobs with multiple sources as in the past.

Seems like they’re experimenting with acquisition this time around. After the slog that is Protea, Citrine etc, I’m all for it.

Hopefully they stick with this, or figure out more interesting ways of making acquisition feel more meaningful.

At least the game mode (Disruption) is actually pretty fun and a very decent arcane grind to boot.

Best small update in a long time, imo.

A huge point of legalizing is to take away a large percentage of gangs’ income by making legitimate businesses replace their supply chain over time.

Obviously criminals are still going to be deep in that as well, especially since they already have a lot of the supply already in place, but people are more inclined to work with police if they aren’t at risk for being hassled by them for their drug use and/or business with said drugs.

It’s basically death by a thousand cuts (over time) for criminal enterprises.

Also, if there’s no reason to be scared of the cops or the justice system (that’s rich!), you’re also more likely to cooperate with police if your legitimate drug business is being squeezed or compromised by criminals.

This should’ve already happened, of course, because now the problem really is the amount of money criminals have made off of the illegal drug trade, rivaling many nations. That money is being laundered and injected into legitimate businesses and investments, solidifying criminals’ leverage over the economy.

And all you’ll get is everybody losing.

Cutting off the nose to spite the face. Genius!

Even though I’m childless and have absolutely no stake in this dog shit reality tunnel, I’m still a little perturbed by how cavalier a lot of people are with gambling about their children’s futures.

There’s also this: https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJM198202113060613?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org&rfr_dat=cr_pub 0pubmed

“In a person smoking 1 1/2 packs of cigarettes per day, the radiation dose to the bronchial epithelium in areas of bifurcation is 8000 mrem per year – the equivalent of the dose to the skin from 300 x-ray films of the chest per year. This figure is comparable to total-body exposure to natural background radiation containing 80 mrem per year in someone living in the Boston area.”

8000 mrem is about 80 mSv. A lifetime of background radiation in a year, so quite high.

It seems like it’ll actually be radically different, and there’s no way it’s coming out until like at least 2026.

As far as I know, a ton of stuff in the game is based on Spanish folklore etc as well.

Blasphemous.

Fantastic metroidvania meets soulslike game. The art style, the lore, the atmosphere, and by God - the music!

The combat is not super great, but it’s capable enough for a metroidvania.

I haven’t played the second one, I hear it’s kinda hit and miss.
