  • If i were even more conspiracy brained i’d wager heavy that the media placed “not supporting ukraine” in the bad meanie republican fascist bin to make looney commies sound bad to unwitting kind blue fascist supporters

    I think that thread can pull further when the article mentions briefly that her politics “sound confusing” and then plainly lays out the confusion of the Kamala campaign embracing Cheney. Blink and you might miss that. It’s also not exactly framed by the text as hypocritical or confusing on the dem’s part. Though i’m not certain this has caused any “confusion” with dem voters upon further consideration. i think most average clocked-out voters have been beaten down to voting for Kamala bc abortion, despite the fact she’s done nothing to get it done, that’s the narrative and that’s what they follow and then move on with their lives.

    If i were able to pull the strings of big media I’d absolutely be trying to screw with every narrative i could. Make the unconscious prole as confused as possible. Then you maybe have to make 10,000 less insecure voting machines when your true voting machines live and breathe air

  • "For context, the US has only 14,300 McDonald's"
  • It’s wild how the us media “culture” has withered so drastically that i am nostalgic for the days when they aired bold ideas such as “fast food is bad for you”. There was a time where nickelodeon wouldn’t air any shows and display a message that told your porcine children to go outside.

    Instead of taking that further fast food is a-okay now. Its fine to be constantly consuming media, and “serious” news outlets are rehashing 20 year old internet memes

  • The world outside the US is increasingly driving Chinese electric vehicles, scrolling the web on Chinese smartphones and powering their homes with Chinese solar panels.
  • thanks! this makes sense. The article ups the stakes and claims there will be some geopolitical implications from AI in the future but I suppose when pressed they'd say the far, far future.

    I suppose in the stock image example the biggest market suffering would be advertising?

  • The world outside the US is increasingly driving Chinese electric vehicles, scrolling the web on Chinese smartphones and powering their homes with Chinese solar panels.
  • Even less clear is Chinese advancements in AI — regarded as one of the key determinants of future economic and geopolitical power. While OpenAI, Microsoft Corp. and Google continue to publicize new AI developments and support a thriving startup ecosystem, Chinese companies like Baidu Inc. labor under chip and data-content restrictions, and have yet to show evidence of significant breakthroughs.

    I hope that in my lifetime all of this tech hype will be proven false and I won't have to read about it anymore. I usually don't read the whole article this is doing some serious damage to me. The least they could do is name specifically how this "AI" technology has influenced "future economic and geopolitical power" beyond supporting...startup ecosystems???? Oops, all signifiers!! columbo-donk

  • Hmm,
  • Don’t worry fellas, I’ll do us all a solid and match with them, fall in love, then break their hearts so totally that they can no longer continue spying. God Bless Amerika :07:

  • Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
  • I loved Portal 1+2 and the coop but never tried mods beyond orange box types like the stanley parable and zombie master. when did those portal mods come out? Is getting mods on my switch easy or is that an emulator type deal

  • Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
  • Idk how i forgot to mention that. Maybe bc it was so early. I was trying to get that heart piece right next to the first crawltula you meet and i did it by stacking beds. It didn’t occur to me to reverse bind to the spider until I got to the cave nearby where progress via crawl-bind is mandatory and it hit me then. My jaw dropped and I was in faron woods before my first dungeon completion lol

  • Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

    Pasting this here from a comment I made in a tangential thread:

    I played through this game hoping for the best this past weekend. The highest praise i can give is that while the presentation is perfect, the gameplay is half baked at best and frustrating at its worst.

    The echoes are a great idea but they’re seriously lacking in depth. Maybe 5 of them can be used for almost every “puzzle”. The stronger combat echoes trivialize the combat. The dungeons are too short and simple save for maybe one or two of them. Thinking i liked gerudo, zora, and faron the best.

    I was totally mesmerized by being able to traverse a “2d” zelda map in the manner that some of the more vertically inclined echoes. They even present you with some classic zelda dungeon rooms that can be maneuvered in the classic way or be completely subverted by the player if you remember you’re playing the new game. which is very satisfying the first few times. However, by hour ten and in the last few dungeons that novelty wore off and it became very clear they forgot to make any kind of challenging puzzle involving clever echo use beyond flying tile + platboom or water tile. i don’t think zelda games have ever been or have supposed to be “challenging” but I don’t think i’m off base asserting that some puzzles aren’t immediately solvable in older games.

    The menus are dogshit and waste you time. The dialogue boxes waste your time. Resetting mini games waste your time. Making smoothies wastes your time. Sorting through your 127 echoes wastes your time. I’m not sure why this is acceptable but the only answer is that ppl buy it and complaints don’t have to be heard after they have your money so fuck it i guess. The only way to get a solid game out of these stooges is to force system memory limitations on them again.

    Oh did you want to play in the old style? don’t worry we put that on a timer and you can go into link mode and feel what it’s like to play a tight lovingly crafted game for a few fleeting moments before your juice bar hits 0.

    The dialogue itself is good. the tutorials aren’t annoying. tri is a good companion. i adore the art style. There is a lot of observational skill involved with some hidden items and heart pieces. I had fun, but I feel like they stopped just short of making a 10/10 to intetionslly a 5/10 baby game. Games are for children. just go play Tunic

    WdyT?
