John Fetterman looks like Zach Snyder tried a little too hard to make one of his villains look comics-accurate.

Sadly, the only thing I would ever want tp use AI for is one thing that AI could never do in a million years. And that is tell me what percentage of ironic vs sincere the internet's reaction to a thing is.

Obviously having your game erroneously banned for daring to suggest that adults sometimes have sex is an absolute nightmare. Particularly the week before launch! But...I have to admit that playing a vampire in a game deemed "too sexy for Steam" might be the coolest I've ever been.
pcgamer.com
Upcoming vampire RPG Nighthawks has been removed from Steam search and delisted in certain countries as Valve classifies it Adults Only: 'It's very bad news for us'
The label "immediately makes the game persona non grata in several important countries like Germany".

We are aware that Steam has classified Nighthawks as an adult game and has excluded it from searches (and delisted it entirely in certain countries). We are working on it. Valve is under the impression that this game is way sexier than it actually is.

This was not the case. Before Trump, there had never been a more polarizing president than GWB. Half the country were screaming for the blood of any Middle-Eastern-looking person. Conspiracy theories about the govt being behind the attacks started day one. America was fractured, maybe forever.

It's so funny that they made Wolverine a PS5 exclusive, thinking, "This will bring the PC gamers back to consoles!!" and then it's like 3/5*, "Fine", 4.5/10, 6/10, 70%, "Average"

The President offered voters money to vote for particular candidates. That's so blatantly and extremely illegal and has been since the founding of the country. And he'll get away with it. He's the country's special boy for whom rules do not apply.

How about we make 2027 the year when all game developers (at least the good ones) don't release any new games, so we can all catch up on our Steam libraries? And we don't have to go to work for the whole year either.

I would 100% support a law that says if any digital platform removes your access to media you paid for then they are required to refund you the entirety of the original purchase price. That would solve this whole thing in a hurry.

Bill Mantlo was such a scumbag for the way he wrote people with disabilities during his career. He went out of his way to call their bodies "pathetic" & "absurd". Heroes with disabilities that previously had been empowered by other writers were suddenly depressed and disgusted by their own bodies.

Predictably, AI is reducing time spent on homework, but drastically lowering test scores. So, AI is making kids dumber. But also, if kids using AI spend the same time on their homework as kids who dont, they'll get comparable (but slightly lesser) scores. So, AI is also useless.

Police in Wisconsin used Flock to track a man who traveled to Michigan, where marijuana is legal, then back to Wisc., where it is illegal They then used his travel as part of the probable cause justification to search his car for weed and he eventually was arrested

"The vehicle travels to Michigan frequently which is a known source state for marijuana as it is legal there," a probable cause justification reads.

Imagine Al was suddenly banned.
Would you actually be willing to give it up?
