Cynical and bitter mutualist & consequentialist. I hate accelerationists and their apologists as much as I hate fascists.
I used to want good things, but everyone else seems to be fine with bad things. So now I’m pro-vacuum decay event.
I don’t have access to this account on non-work days
The issue isn’t talking to women. The issue is talking to people you are attracted to.
I’m bi but I’m not attracted everyone. And I can tell you it takes a lot more from me to talk to someone I’m attracted to and I don’t think I could easily just be normal friends with someone I badly want to fuck and just have normal conversations with them.
This is a problem for all social media. Eventually every social media site that allows users to post anything will be bombarded to a degree that it will be impossible to find humans. It will be functionally impossible to moderate. And outside of that there will be whole ecosystems of fake AI generated websites will pop up with scams and propaganda. The internet will become a trash fire and people will have no choice but to eat the burning trash or touch grass.
People who were comfortable never leaving their house other than for work will either become schizophrenic zombies or will get cabin fever and desperately seek connection offline.
EDIT: And I say this as someone who doesn’t intrinsically hate AI.
Unironically true.
Not out of the goodness of their heart but to drive sales and foster a customer base willing to return.
I think this is partially true, but also I legit think Gabe Newell is ideologically a market anarchist that legitimately loves video games as a medium. He probably could have (more safely) made even more money doing something else considering his early Microsoft connections and ability but he didn’t.
Unfortunately as a result, the moment hes dead Valve might be in trouble long term. Depends on who takes over afterward and how they want to direct Valve. Pierre-Loup Griffais or Lawrence Yang seem possible given how successful Steam Deck has been. Its hard to get a read on them. They seem smart and well meaning though.
People say that about food, music/dancing, and stories because they are the least antagonistic thing they could bring up while boasting about their culture. Its the least likely to get attacked as well, its a non-controversial aspect they can sing the praises of and its something easily shared
If they bring up their cultural religion, values, politics, philosophy, or social dynamics, suddenly things can become an area of controversy and even ethical debate. Most people are too fragile or cowardly to investigate that stuff.
Honestly, I get it, some dipshits starts way ahead and you started in the gutter.
Most people however legitimately start in the gutter and don’t even try, embrace anti-intellectualism, and see people climbing their way out of the gutter as traitors. And I fucking hate those people more than the douche with a silver spoon up his ass.
That’s some delicious evil.
I hate loud stupid people influencing game balance so fucking much.
I’m glad I don’t play PVP games anymore.
If I ever get back into game dev though and make a multiplayer game…
No I’m at fucking work.
There’s a number of the games that notably effected me after completion. Star Fox (SNES), Halo: Combat Evolved, Morrowind, KOTOR 1&2, Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, Bioshock, Dead Space, Hotline Miami, Undertale.
I’m probably forgetting some.
Only up to a point, fossil fuels getting cheaper will reach a point where it wont be worth extraction outside of for niche customers.
If renewables become plentiful and cheap enough globally fossil fuels will more or less die off in use, even if right now they’re going upward in use its temporary. The problem is we’re stuck with severe consequences even if they do eventually largely stop. We’re stuck with severe consequences if they stop this very instant in fact.
What we really want is renewable energy to become so cheap and plentiful that not only do fossil fuels stop being used but carbon capture technology’s high energy cost becomes null and it just becomes a net good. ATM the technology is useless because the high energy cost ends up just putting more co2 into the air anyway than is removed.
That’s victorian era morals super charged by protestant evangelical puritanism. Kids are perfect innocent angels that become hyper corrupted by the sin of nakedness and the flesh.
The USA never seems to get past this in particular.
I just can’t even stand the personality of someone who’s first fucking instinct when they see violent or sexual media is “If I don’t like it no one should be allowed to see it.” Fuck off.
6 cancellations and 7 delays? That’s an omen.
