I don’t reaaly play MMOs, but I had a lot of fun with Star Wars: The Old Republic. I put over 300 hours in to do all the class stories.

Yeah that was disappointing. If they had taken their time with a sequel to narrow down what works it could have been great.

Nothing could have followed up and be better than or even match the Mass Effect trilogy. Andromeda attempts to be its own thing and I respect the evolution of a franchise over time. I’m not saying Andromeda was perfect, but only that it’s good enough. It’s a good way to waste time even if it isn’t a 100% good waste of time.

Keep at it EU gamers!

I thought the story was great. It started slow but really picked up in the second half. And the gameplay really reinforced the idea of exploring a new galaxy by having the Mako driving around interestingly designed planets, instead of the boring procedureally generated ones in ME1. The only thing weird about the gameplay was having a jump button but I got used to it pretty quick.

Andromeda was a good game after they fixed all the bugs. All they have to do is launch it in a playable state, which is nearly impossible for modern devs

Resident Evil: Revelations 2 was heavily inspired by Kafka and quoted him constantly. Maybe the game’s soundtrack has something you might be looking for. https://archive.org/details/resident-evil-revelations-2-ost

It’s not the ads I hate, it’s the data harvesting I hate. Static ads without trackers don’t exist on YouTube, unfortunately.

AI (more specifically, LLMs) can only replicate what’s in their training data. Skynet could work as long as we don’t feed it any information from any stories that involve an AI uprising.

Tom Scott polled this years ago, good video. https://youtube.com/watch?v=ALy6e7GbDRQ

Spoiler:

Is there a difference when sharing the whole screen versus sharing only a single window?

You could use a virtual camera like the one included in OBS to share your screen with the cursor showing, but that probably won’t share desktop audio by default.

It’s a good thing to question your beliefs every once in a while. Sometimes people get things wrong, and sometimes ideas need re-evaluated.

The way I look at gay/trans/etc is to take MLK Jr’s advice: judge people by the content of their character.

Its a difference in connotation, which is highly subjective and may or may not exist at all.

To me, “Not to mention” implies a bonus thing to consider that doesn’t need to be mentioned to form a complete thought; it’s just additional context.

On the other hand, “Not to leave out” is a crucial detail that needs to be there for everything that was said prior to make sense.

Both sayings are still mostly interchangeable, but connotation is the reason that so many synonyms exist.
