Yeah that’s probably it. I did play it recently enough that steam would feed me news updates for it.

100% This.

So steam has the little update ribbon for games in your library, and recently one popped up for The Outer Worlds in my feed. I thought it was odd since it’s not a new game anymore so I checked it out and it was for some reason just the announcement for Outer Worlds 2. Thought that was odd too since that also happened awhile ago so I went to the discussion thread to see if there was an update to the announcement or something and I got to reading the comments. It was just the most toxic and vile cesspool of comments. Literal mud brained comments like “no woke game, no DEI this time, this game bad because I can’t fuck the asexual brown girl and she should be white anyway because that doesn’t make sense in outer space” and other vile bigoted shit. Like seriously guys? You hated the game so much that you have to spew your ignorant garbage brained thoughts on an announcement thread for the sequel? Fuck me these people are just the absolute sludge at the bottom of the barrel.

I’m all for protesting a game because the company is evil (you know which ones are) but holy hell people, the vast majority of the comments were not that at all. Just fucking go play something else. There are a hundred thousand other choices for any respective genre of game. Please just all of you fuck off.

Hell yeah. Another vote for Seal!

Tell that to 2FA apps for banks and enterprise security systems.

Full Metal Jacket.

Best war movie and best Kubrick movie of all time.

Nexusmods. Don’t want to pay for it so it’s the least I can do.

I’d say definitely. The first useful thing I printed was during the pandemic where all the paper towels you could get were those z fold ones you see in office building bathrooms. Suffice to say, most people don’t have a container at home for those types of paper towels, so I mocked one up that was like a home tissue box and printed it out. Saved myself 80+$ on making one instead of buying one on Amazon (also they’re all wall mounted and I didn’t want to do that)

Since then I’ve printed toilet paper roll holders, plant pots, catch all bowls, insulated drink holders, tie racks, jewelry racks and boxes, all manner of things I use almost every day, and I’ve learned about 3d modeling as a result (not really good yet but still) so win win.

Edit: I’d say at this point I’ve definitely printed more than how much the printer costed in terms of things I use. Printing mini figures and scenery for tabletop games alone has exceeded the cost it would have been to buy that stuff.

Yes I have an fdm and a resin printer, but they’ve both got a lot of good use and yes absolutely worth it.

Yes

The entry on Marijuana is absolutely wild.

This is something that some people read and genuinely believe whole. This is 10,000% propaganda. Just unbelievable.

The general public still doesn’t seem to grasp the current capabilities of AI. It’s still just mimicry. AI is a parrot that “learns” something and repeats it to the best of it’s ability, but it doesn’t understand the thing it learned. You can teach a bird to say “Polly want a cracker” but it doesn’t know what a cracker is, and while it does have wants like any other animal, it doesn’t know what “want a cracker” actually means.

ML models get a billion images of mushrooms and then “learn” what “mushroom” looks like, but even if the images of mushrooms are properly labeled poisonous and not poisonous, it doesn’t really know that in the same way humans do. And it gets even worse when the AI tries to make new things from those sets it’s trained off, which all of those certainly do. Making new mushrooms that don’t exist, how can it tell which one of these new fantasy mushrooms are poison and which ones aren’t? It can’t know, but it sure as hell can make it up.

Hell, most AI can’t even get text right.

Don’t trust AI for anything that isn’t hard coded math, or systems that reference and directly quote known good sources without doing any kind of creative embellishments.
