I always include the rider because the picture of the bike is on the street. A bike or motorcycle on a street is “everything I do not want to hit”.

That’s interesting… bold move though. I can think of MANY failed 3rd person mobas.

For me it’s very much dependent on the topic at hand.

Coding, kbin, email, calendar, dark.

Still gotta work in light mode on word… just looks wrong otherwise.

You know what really irks me though? Even if we didn’t go green. Those 40,000 jobs are going to vanish. Coal doesn’t grow like trees. That mine will empty one day and it’s going to get shut down without warning, without any severance packages, the company is just going to run. There will even still be coal in the mine, it’s just no longer cheap enough to mine it.

Historically, that’s how it happens. Even in this day and age the moment a better mine opportunity is found, they’re gone. They make the town dependent on them, they use the town in every way they can, they donate to the schools and municipal water supply, and then they vanish without warning leaving the town in the lurch. Happens with copper, happens with gas, happens with silver and it happens with coal.

At least the green movement will give you a date, a head start, and at least an iota of sympathy.

Last I looked into it the risk was moving to an entirely different game engine with Godot. Different features, APIs, capabilities. Godot in particular doesn’t port the greatest outside of PC.

Although the article was more about making the first one.

Well the entity system adds an entirely new branch of research, that works separately from workbenches. To make fast progress in the darker research you need mutliple sources of dark research in the form of trapped entities. A LOT can go into the containment of some of these entities, basically making sure you have a room that can actually hold some of this stuff. So from there I actually prefer the research loop to the main method. Not only that it doesn’t take AN ENTIRE PAWN’S DAY to actually perform. I haven’t caught anything SUPER nasty yet, but I see the pieces that will require a supermax of entity containment. I kinda feel like I could forgo research and move direct into the darker research. Make an army of ghouls.

Honestly I feel like it’s definitely bigger than the royalty DLC, and I’m only about five hours in.

I always had terrible luck with that. I’ve just resorted to printing large squares and adjusting until the square sticks the way I want.

I mean, Microsoft isn’t free. Linux is.

I think it’s a mix that varies state from state based off the latest polling.

Genuinely it almost feels like a clone or a mod. Although really overwatch 2 seems to be in such a terrible spot that I wouldn’t be surprised if it was purposeful.

that, that just adds more questions.

No, I think the comic is making you think about the system at large. It’s not the anchors that are the problem. Anybody in any position can be where she is.

You could be getting tons of money… not to produce anything or to improve the world, but to maintain power for an upper echelon. It could be a lawyer, it could be an influencer, it could be a pundit, a politician, a programmer, a security guard, a military contractor. There’s this idea that a large paycheck is because you deserve it, because you are providing what’s needed. In reality a high paycheck can be given to you because you’re part of a problem that someone wants you to maintain.

Perhaps the main use for technology is increasing the amount of inequality society can tolerate without collapse. I can’t fix inequality – that just seems to be what the humans want.

However by investing in surveillance technology, computer vision, and AI I could perhaps help our society to bear unbounded amounts of inequality indefinitely, without collapse. Social collapse is a less-than-zero-sum game, whereas an unequal society is still generally more-than-zero-sum. So I posit that the latter is objectively better.

… Are you suggesting that we increase inequality to make the world better? Like we need an overlord, be it robot or human, and the rest of the population needs to be placated, worked to the bone, and easily replaced?

I gotta assume I am just vastly misunderstanding something in this argument, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. Is it just sarcastic?

Borderlands 2, Krieg was an intriguing character but as a class generally sucked. His ult was a melee only mode which… doesn’t mesh with a game about COLLECTING GUNS. They also introduced Gaige. Her class worked better in the game, although very gimicky, lore wise she was basically a more sane Tiny Tina.

Like… genuinely a series or a movie about him sounds cool… but… I don’t think they’re gonna show him off like that link. How is an internal monologue supposed to work if only one of the 4 hear it? It can’t work while sharing a spotlight.

Also I can’t remember if it’s official or cannon but

I mean, I understand leaving out Brick. Both Roland and Brick are not… bastions of dialogue. Both combined could be a bit much in a film. Even though he’s a fascinating character. Mordecai confuses me more. He seems like a much better straight man (comedy term, not the orientation) than Roland or Brick, and if he operates like a sniper then he makes a great diagetic narrator to move dialogue and scenes because he operates as the scout from range. Granted the CG for the bird will probably cost.

I’m sure a good chunk was they wanted more Tiny Tina, and then they added Kreig just for the reveal moment which is… a lot of dedicated screen time just to create a moment. Seeing as he barely had any time in the trailer… clearly he doesn’t shine in this film.

Oh it’s easy, they just googled “Roland voice lines” and he sounds like a perfect role for Kevin heart.

Could he pull off the borderlands 2 Roland intro? I don’t think so, but I’ve been surprised before.

What really has me saddened is the whole pisswater gully bit. Tiny Tina is a native of pandora, Roland and Lilith are not (to my knowledge). So if anything, the roles should have been entirely reversed because:

1. It makes more sense.

2. It’s way funnier.

Which means they’re messing with backstory of the characters to match… nothing. Because it doesn’t seem to make the writing better, and it differs from the original. It would also match Tiny Tina’s character so much better and mitigate the annoying whiny child part of the character that is just SHINING through this trailer.

I don’t know why, but I always imagine knights moving forward and then left or right, I always get infuriated for some reason when I see their movement described the other way around.

Until you realize that the people who make the final decision on whether something the AI saw is indeed too far or extreme are the exact same people making the decision now and all we’ve succeeded in doing is creating a million dollar system that makes it look like they’re trying to change.

So fix that. Don’t make an AI to dole out justice against police like some messed up lottery. This is such a hollow solution in my mind. AI struggles to identify a motorcycle, people expect it to identify abuse?

I am so confused by this, why does there need to be AI involved in this at all?

If somebody has a complaint, pull the footage, then the plaintiff goes over the footage and makes their case against the police officer. Why would an AI be necessary to find complaints that are not being complained about?

I feel like it’s a technology solution for what should be a “more transparency and a better system” solution. Make complaints easier and reduce the fear factor of making complaints.
