The Fallout show's been a pleasant surprise
  • To me, fallout is more about the setting and aesthetics than the story and the TV show captures those two points very well! It's definitely very campy at times but I've found it to be a really enjoyable watch so far (just finished episode 5).

    I really like how much of fallout is crammed into the show, from the brand names for foods to the vaults and monsters to the music. They really do make the setting the core aspect of the show, which was all they really had to do to make a good fallout show IMO.

    The plot and many of the character's decisions are probably the weakest points so far but it's all stuff that easily overlooked.

    Overall, very pleasantly surprised by how good the show is.

  • Meta is the world’s ‘single largest marketplace for paedophiles’, says New Mexico attorney general
  • But they literally cannot moderate their platform. The amount of data that Facebook sees every minute would bankrupt any company if they had to actually hire enough people to go through all that content and determine which is fine and which isn't. And that isn't even taking into consideration the mental and emotional damage that a person will go through just seeing all the vile and despicable shit that gets posted. AI moderation isn't advanced enough and the human moderation cost is so great that the giant social media companies will pretty much never be able to self moderate. Reddit was only able to moderate itself (to an extent) because they had an endless supply of free mods. Facebook doesn't have that same luxury.

  • "Labour Market"
  • This is the exact reason most communities and subreddits turn to shit. People posting low effort content that is barely relevant to the community and then saying "iF thE PeOpLe dOn'T liKe iT, thEy CaN DownVoTe iT"

  • Free vasectomy clinic fills up fast in Oklahoma City
  • Yeah when I got it done, my doctor told me to consider this as permanent procedure even though it is possible to reverse it. They want you to make this decision without the idea that a reversal is quick and easy or even possible

  • Nancy Pelosi: Democrat and ex-Speaker, 83, to seek re-election
  • I never said that if you pay them enough then they won't take bribes. You could pay them a billion dollars a year and there'll still be some corrupt bastards looking for bribes.

    What I was saying was that if you don't pay them anything, then it will be impossible for regular, working class people to ever become politicians.

  • Nancy Pelosi: Democrat and ex-Speaker, 83, to seek re-election
  • Then the only people who can actually be congresspeople will be the ones who are already rich. Public service should pay enough that those who work in government shouldn't need a second source of income to provide for their families. Paying politicians $10k a year will only incentivize them to accept bribes from lobbyist and corporations, leading to career politicians.

  • Larian knows Baldur's Gate 3's D&D combat is super complicated: "We used to joke you basically need a tutorial for every class"
  • I personally love the big encounters with 20+ enemies but I do agree that it can really drag out combat and be unfun just waiting 10 minutes to do something again. I would love to see an option, similar to that in civ 6, where you can skip movement and attack animations to really speed up combat.
