Patent infringement? Did they patent “beat up thing, throw ball at thing, capture thing?”

But that means the cure for that same virus could also be built using AI

They announced the cancellation a few weeks ago and I still think it’s hella funny that they cancelled The Sims 5 not super long after Paradox announced they were cancelling their The Sims competitor. It really feels like EA was only making a 5th Sims game to compete with a new contender, and when the contender gave up they said “oh well I guess we don’t need a new sims game.”

So now they’re gonna take on the liability of copying someone else’s work, which is why the original creator kinda disappeared; they were worried about getting sued over both the concept (which he stole from a rather unknown game that released a year prior to Flappy Bird) and the use of the pipes taken straight out of Super Mario.

That sounds about right for what one of these air mats is compared to me. I’d be 6 inches taller than this mat.

“Do you have Hell?”

“We have the concept of Hell.”

I’m gonna change every model into genitals, now.

Gyroscope effect. You ever do the experiment where you spin a bike tire really fast and then try to tilt it? Shit’s nuts.

I stopped using Amazon when it became impossible to know, without a shadow of a doubt, that what I am buying is coming from a legit business because of drop shipping, review scamming, and other shit they do.

If I wanted cheap, Chinese-made garbage I’d use Temu or Wish and get the thing for three cents instead of thirty dollars.

I don’t like that so many shower doors are glass. I can’t stop myself constantly imagining a Final Destination situation where I slip, fall into the door, shatter the glass and decapitate myself.

Is keeping Lemmy’s comment section active not a worthwhile endeavor?

The game currently has an average user base of just over 20k players and is dropping by the thousands every day. Going to a live service model wouldn’t necessarily make them more money or be as sustainable as simply moving on to a new game.

They also might not be that great at managing money. They went from barely known to having a flash-in-the-pan hit out of nowhere. Plenty of other devs have collapsed under the weight of their own, similar successes because they couldn’t figure out what to do with it.

Literally everything I learned in my high school careers class was useless because the world changed so much because of the internet getting more and more mainstream. Was told to keep calling and asking about applications; nobody actually answers the phone. Was told to collect and fill out applications in person; everyone moved to online-only applications. Was told to dress like I’m going to church for interviews; most interviews I’ve had were group interviews and 90% of the other applicants just wore jeans and t-shirts. Was taught to meet the higher ups so they would get to know me; the higher ups aren’t even on site except maybe once in a blue moon because something went wrong.

That’s why I went and saw Dude, Where’s My Car in the theatre. Because Siskel and Ebert had given it their worst score ever and I thought if those chucklenuts hated it, it must be good.

I wouldn’t say those numbers are for games that suck, anyway. That’s a decent, just not mind-blowing game. Anything that’s 40% or lower is what I would say almost universally sucks. But I would also take into account review bombing for things beyond the scope of the game itself, as it is very often reported on when it happens.

Shit, I still try that sometimes and I’m almost 40. We got micro plastics in our balls; who’s to say we can’t also just absorb midi chlorines over time?

I trust other people playing the game way more than the people who make the game, sell the game, or get paid to review the game.

If everyone I know with similar tastes to mine says something sucks, there’s a 99.9999999% chance I will independently think it sucks anyway; so I might as well listen to others who have played it and save myself some time and money.

Basically what it’s like being a relay operator.

With quantum computers you can become a god that doesn’t know what it’s doing. 😃
