Only the drivers’ dicks can fit in that space now

Aha, so it was all a plan by the feline overlords to assume direct control of both wheat and humans in a single swoop.

For the most enduring single player experiences, you really should give some grand strategy games a try, like older Total War entries, Crusader Kings, Civilization, Swords of the Stars, etc. Stuff like Factorio or Cities Skylines can also become addictive, but none of these games is action oriented.

Also, Age of Empires 2. I haven’t played 4 yet, but I think it speaks volumes that, at least on steam, AoE2 has more players at any given time than 3+4 combined.

Ziggurat might be an interesting pick, as it’s a roguelike FPS with magic weapons, though it might feel super neutered compared to Ultrakill. Risk of Rain 2 is 3rd person and roguelike, so every run you start from scratch and enemies will keep spawning at certain intervals, but it’s a fine shooter

Fallout 4 might have a rather clunky shooting, but if you get into it, you can spend many, many hours blasting a variety of enemies, finding all sorts of places and weapons. Skyrim is a close second, while better played in 1st person, it’s medieval sword and sorcery.

I would personally pick HoMM5 and avoid 4 altogether.

As someone who enjoyed the tiny sliver of the free part of game, are the story missions worth paying for?

Worth mentioning, regarding Dragon Quest, the monster teaming up with the player was added in DQ5, back in 1992, something that was arguably first introduced in Megami Tensei 2 (1990). Dragon Quest Monster was released only in 1998, after the first pokemon games.

What set pokemon apart from them was the amount of pokemon you could get. That Game Freak managed to cram another 100 in Gold/Silver, a night/day cycle, berries, friendship, breeding and the entire original Kanto region in a gameboy color cart is a small miracle

A significant number of pokemon fans had to make do with emulating the original gameboy games on the family computer. I know I did

Hearthstone, even back when it was new and not excessively monetized, I just couldn’t get into it.

DotA, the original Warcraft 3 custom map, and every moba afterwards. I just can’t find enjoyment in how it plays.

It sure looks like she stole that coat and cap from her dad or boyfriend

Are you saying that the copyright is held too long?

I personally think so. 20-30 years for the authors would be enough, in my opinion. For company held copyright, it should be 8-12 years, counting from the date of creation - transferring the rights back to an individual would NOT give any extra time

That’d make basically every game and movie become public domain after a decade or so. If you applied 30 years of copyright to everything, nowadays we’d have public access to every game released up to 1994, which means the majority of the SNES and Mega Drive/Genesis catalogs.

Too bad any change wouldn’t apply retroactively, so we’d still have to wait for the 2030s to come by before 1940s stuff becomes public domain.

Don’t forget purple snake and purple toxic ball

Which goes to show that Pokemon Master is the easiest degree to get in pkmn world

You forgot the “we’re also seizing everything you own”

Did you know…

Personally, my beef is not only the low skill/effort a lot of the post modernism sculptures have, but also that their whole point, of making fun of “high art”, of museums and whatnot, was subverted. The subversion of art was subverted. Not even Banksy could fully escape the elitist assholes and even though that picture was shredded after the auction, it’s still “valuable”

-artists- prob need to unionize their workplace

You’ll have an easier time unionizing programmers. I don’t mean that as snark, because most visual art can be very easily outsourced, whether it’s 2D or 3D. People with audio arts are even more fucked, thanks in no small part to record labels.

I wish I had an idea to start fixing this

Google’s trying to find the guy responsible for all this

So, you’re telling me google search has gotten so bad it can’t even find info on its own workers?

To be fair, the actual article links to the paper and the real punch is that the research does not point to any of the many AI blunders made by google itself

Also, my personal highlight from the article

If you read the paper, you can’t help but conclude that the “misuse” of generative AI often sounds a lot like the tech is working as intended. People are using generative AI to make lots of fake content because it’s really good at doing that task, and consequently flooding the internet with AI slop.

One kid in a roblox “exposed” type of video said that he could tell adults apart because they “typed really fast” - so, if it’s in a game, check if they type kinda slow? In a forum, no idea.

This one. It’s basically an upside down Mega Drive/Genesis controller for one of the Brazilian famiclones, with turbo buttons for A and B

I’d say it’s quite the bumpy ride with a table like that
