One thing that Starcraft did well to separate it from the obvious influence of 40k was making their ‘elite’ soldiers basically redneck trash. Who needs decades of indoctrination against Xenos when you have booze, three working brain cells, and the opportunity to blow shit up for money?

That’s wild to hear. My 38 year-old ass recently took another stab (was 10~ at release?) and it’s pretty impressive how tight the gameplay remains. The game dev scene has obviously improved the overall UX of core mechanics, but goddamn did it nail what would be eventual industry standards.

Honestly I’ve found that simply *not* engaging with negative topics as a whole is healthiest. Like, what is my additional comment going to provide in the grand scheme of things? I’ve even seen takes by some mutuals I don’t agree with, but what’s the point in arguing with them going to help?

Yeah, I feel we’re at a bit of a sea change with this type of person. That Elephant Graveyard series did a wonderful breakdown how they’re often the cultural buffer for a lot of shitty people/policies. People are aware of it now and some of these guys are realizing their meal ticket is almost over.

It really is fascinating how much this stuff backfires. I have acquaintances who are not exactly well-read on the history of Israel and Palestine mentioning how weird it is that Israel has freakouts on anyone that criticizes their actions there, influencing them to then research the topic further.

I forgot who, but I recall someone did mention the paints are super saturated. This meant thinning them down took way more water than normal for glazing. I’m sure there will be a few standout colors. But at a higher-end paint skill level I do worry they’ll be hard to use with some techniques.

Again, it was humorous in that wild west era of the early 2000’s web. Mind you in my late 30’s I wouldn’t be making those jokes now, but that dumb bear was all over the more nerd-centric communities of the internet in that time.

Yeah, back in the early 2000’s, pedobear was a joke *on* creepy people and a large of it had to do with ‘To Catch a Predator.’ It was almost treated as a Looney Tunes-esque thing where the bear would stalk someone only to have Chris Hanson pop up with a, ‘Why don’t you take a seat?’

Two panel comic. Panel 1: news broadcast of a Chimpanzee in a suit walking to the podium of a White House briefing. Text at the bottom reads: “PRESIDENT CHIMPSKY TO MAKE STATEMENT ON TERRORIST ATTACK” Panel 2: president Chimpsky signs to the camera, “Give orange me give eat orange me eat orange give me eat orange give me you.”

I have had League of Legends matches less antagonistic than some of the individuals in this story. I really do feel bad for the one bar owner who legit looks to have been left on the hook by ex-cofounders and is truly trying to keep a business afloat.

Tired: Manmade child annihilating zipline beyond physics comprehension Wired: Grok maims a man on a halfpipe then gets him fired, patent advice sought
From r/legal advice:

I used AI to invent a new skateboard trick that coworker tried & he got hurt. Can he sue me?

My coworker & I were using Grok to generate new types of skateboard tricks that have never been done and I used Grok AI to discover a new trick called a “Pipe It,” which is kind of like skating down a halfpipe but using the AI to calculate the physics and angles, we can go a lot steeper when dropping in. We watch a lot of skate videos on our phone during breaks, so we decided to do a type of skate video with new tricks. 

Grok made up this skateboard trick & I told it to be very careful and use science/physics to make sure that it was as cool as possible but also realistic. Basically, a Pipe It is taking a long 2x4 and placing it up against a wall (like 7 ft tall) and sliding down the wood board using the skateboard with the wheels on either side of the 2x4, kind of like grinding Tony Hawk video game style, but straight down. Grok said it would be possible to pop off the board at the last minute to land & that this would have been a brand new trick. 

Anyways, my coworker tried it in the parking lot during our lunch break at work but immediately fell face first into the floor and busted his nose. He had already gotten written up before, so he couldn’t leave in the middle of the day to change, so when we tried to go back in with blood everywhere our boss got mad and told him to go home  maybe he could get called back in for another shift). He hasn’t gotten called back so I think he’s fired.

Now my coworker is saying that the Pipe-It is my fault & he’s going to sue me. Can he do that? even if he can, it’s not my fault because I told Grok to be as safe as possible and to make sure that the Pipe-It was realistic. Basically, he did the trick wrong and is mad that he couldn't do it and that he lost his job. Can I get in trouble? Also, sorry if I can't combine questions, but can I patent the Pipe It so Grok or he can't steal it now that we're fighting?

I'm so excited to hear people listen to The Replacements for the first time because goddamn that entire catalog is *ridiculous*. Every album has at least 2-3 amazing singles. I am currently in an Alan Parsons Project dive alongside my usual, new indie releases (loving the new Wishy album!).

The Emma Frost x Miss Piggy comic has hit the internet and it's so, so, so much more magnificent than I ever could have hoped for
Emma Frost: "Emma Frost, darling. I'm a telepath. May I read your mind to ascertain if you're telling the truth?"

Miss Piggy: "But of course, darling I am an open book, a tell-all memoir."Emma Frost telepathically witnessing the entirety of Miss Piggy's life.Wolverine: "Frost? She legit?"
Emma Frost: "She's..She's... She's everything. And I would die for her."

It’s wild to think how, in high school sophomore year, I had Shelley Winter’s egg tee because I was such a fan of Scary-Go-Round. I’m nearing 40 now and still following this bizarre, little world. As an American this is simply what I imagine England to be and I refuse to believe otherwise.

Drove on the backroads for a bit in rural Northeast Ohio today. I didn’t see one Ramaswamy sign but I did see a number of Acton + Brown yard signs across a mix of both small and massive homes. Again, I can imagine most Vivek supporters won’t be actively showing it but the sign discrepancy is stark.

This evening, as my support dove headfirst into the enemy’s giant sword for their fourth death in a row in the span of only nine minutes, they informed me I should be ‘sent to the gas chambers’ for not helping them. I sighed while waiting for the clock to hit 15 minutes so we could surrender.

Do you know how many times I've had to say, 'Don't print the mailer. There's a weird furry thing involving the word 'Knot' in the headline. Don't ask how I know it, just change the copy for the leash promotion or remove the dog from the photo. I don't feel like ending up on Reddit next month.'

Yeah, I'm firmly on the side of, 'This was a shitty mistake but proves the importance of diversity in creative fields.' With 20 years in the industry, I have seen firsthand these kinds of screw-ups. Lord knows my experience with internet weirdos has stopped unintentionally pervy ads going live.
