Not just anyone, it was the “Democratic” governor Jared Polis. I put democratic in quotes not because the Democrat party is above this (they’re not) but because Polis is showing that he’s much more in alignment with libertarians and conservatives than he is with any sort of liberal or leftist agenda.

Primarily, I’m utterly confident no one would create a drawing as detailed as this for a meme as dumb as this. And it’s clearly not shittily photoshopped because the style of the Rock and the style of the claws are too consistent.

Caves of Qud. I’m still on the fence about whether or not I like the perma-death mode, but the writing is fantastically poetic and it’s clear the systems of interactivity in the game world are expansive beyond what I could ever hope to really comprehend.

Exactly. Lilith Walther loves that aesthetic so much that she animates and builds entire games in it today

I’m looking forward to the Supreme Court ruling that a sitting Supreme Court member has “operational immunity” and effectively ruling that anyone on the Supreme Court can break the law as much as they want until their fucking life sentence term is up

New video games.

I understand the hype around a new game you’re specifically looking forward to, but people drag the Steam Deck because it’s “not powerful enough” for the latest AAAA game. Have you seen the disgustingly huge catalog of old amazing games from the 6th, 7th, and 8th console generations that are perfectly playable on the Steam Deck? How many games have gen Z and gen Alpha missed out on simply because they’re “old.”

I 100% agree. TLOU is a very basic game, however it’s magnificently well put together.

The core gameplay mechanics are very simple, but the AI of the enemies is great. The story is very derivative and unoriginal (right up until the last 5 minutes) but it’s extremely well told.

All that said, The Last of Us Part 2 more than makes up for it. EVERYTHING is improved. The story is engaging, , well-told, and gripping. The gameplay is weightier and grounded and intense. There were so many times I forgot I was playing a game with zombies in it.

If you can bare TLOU, it’s worth it for the context you get for playing the sequel.

If you ask me, playing on lower difficulties is boring. But there’s an insane rush from the challenge and chaos on the higher difficulties. Also the core mechanics mesh so well together; every action feels heavy and like a tactical decision.

I agree; it‘s new if someone else says it.

Oh yes, I’m sure this is true. As everyone knows, Trump is a renowned truther. Everyone knows what Trump says is good to listen to

-_-

Why. the FUCK. THE FUCKING FUCK. is this news?

Well, when I’m sleeping it’s definitely “soooooock shooooooe. sooooooock shooooooe”

I don’t believe them. They just think that lying to the public will sell more PS5s… somehow

You’re fucking kidding me. Schrodinger’s Onion

My favorite part about this is how there are 3 versions of the scream hanging in the Munch museum in Oslo

Yeah you’re right, the main goal of science and the math we use for science is to model the universe. That model is completely subjective. The more we learn about the universe, the more the model changes. The way we learn is limited by our 5 senses and our mental models for the immediate universe around us.

That model is something of a language itself, and if a language is subjectively limited then I don’t think it can be universal

I think it’s funny to think of mathematics as a universal language because all of formal logic is built on the assumption that binary truth values are grounded in reality, but I believe that has yet to be proven. All of human communication functions based on an assumed shared context.

If I say I have an apple, and you say you have an apple, humans would say that together we have two apples but in reality we each have an estimated collection of matter that shares nothing physically in common with the other. Maybe other intelligent life forms don’t make the same assumptions that we do that lead to the statement that there are two “apples,” and maybe mathematics isn’t universal.

I guess I mean to say that formal logic and mathematics are not grounded in reality, but are grounded in the way that a human brain perceives reality.

“Fully modular” reads to me as “1 step away from returning to the terminal-mainframe” business model.
