Yeah I took a macroeconomics class back in college (it fit some slot in my degree requirements) and we used his textbook.

I didn’t learn much and I was a dumb teenager, but I remember everything was taught as though markets were completely frictionless and that we’d “learn the other stuff later.”

Yeah I just want to bonk them enough that they know I’m not worth hunting anymore. These are supposed to be hungry animals, not angry monsters.

I don’t want to kill them, I just want them to get appropriately deterred when I whack them on the head with my survival tool. The animal aggression is still very wonky, but the devs have acknowledged that and are apparently working on a solution that doesn’t involve killing. Sounds good to me.

Though it was a lot of fun the first time I cranked my Cyclops up to RAMMING SPEED and crashed a reaper leviathan.

Last time they did this early access thing they were still a small company. Now they’re a subsidiary of a billion dollar company and still want to release an incomplete game.

Scifi quickly turns to horror when it factors in how unfathomably huge space is and how slow physics forces us to interact with it all.

"We’ve known about this stuff for years. What we didn’t expect was that the expansion would accelerate as it has. We thought we had trillions of years. Then the forecast was billions. And now—”

I disavow this cool crime.

Lmao the toilet broke.

I took her as a (libbed up) analogy of the Chinese revolution. She’s rallying a nationalist movement against fire nation colonialism, and even tries to free Hong Kong. Is she Sun Yat-Sen? Chiang Kai Shek? Mao Zedong? Who knows.

But also the creators are liberals, so in order to make her clearly the bad guy they have to make it so she’s also running concentration camps. Where did she learn to be such a vile racist? Who knows! - the culture she was raised in are the good guys in this conflict.

The early release period is going to be rough. I really want to play it multiplayer on PS5 but that’s going to be a long wait if the first game is anything to go by.

Krafton considers themselves an “AI-first” company in all their workflows - they just vastly overestimate the word calculator’s capabilities.

Especially ironic when part of their case against the subnautica team lead was that he was wasting all his time on his other passion project: an ai-generated Christmas movie.

Anyways hope the game is good the first one was lots of fun.

Yeah sorry just never thought about this. But sounds like it would be shitty even if someone self hosted their own llm for it.

Is ai code bad? Like I mean on top of any ethical concerns ai art just kinda sucks.

I just see people blaming the attack on Iran. It’s “Hamas is blowing up their own hospitals” all over again.

trans nazi does nazi shit and now we gotta worry that other nazis will blame it on trans people what a fucked up world

Yeah that’s the one!

It’s all the open spaces and the off screen enemies with guns. The first game was really good about keeping everyone within melee reach if you baited them right.

I’ve never been to OKC but I do work homeless services, so I decided to check out what things are like down there.

It looks like mostly just congregate overnight and winter shelters, largely run by religious orgs? No wonder people might choose to risk the streets. It’s hard to get someone into a shelter and then out into housing when you don’t even offer them space to store their belongings.

I already don’t separate my whites from my colors and half the time my partner forgets that bras need to air dry.

Ain’t no way I could properly take care of computer pants.
