Usually I have to find another song to replace it.

Same. I often wake up with random songs going through my head in the middle of the night. Sometimes it’s not the same one that was looping when I went to sleep.

Her punishment should be at least as bad as the sentences rioters served for breaking into the U.S. capitol. Or maybe that should be the cap since her actions didn’t result in death and weren’t intended as an attempt at insurrection (unless someone that owns Tesla is now considered the head of government).

Invisible weapons are all the rage these days.

2021. This whole thing blew up and they backed down.

To me Veilguard felt like they wanted to make a fantasy Destiny game then changed course halfway through. The free roam zones felt like destiny areas, complete with areas where you knew something would spawn but it would be random which types of enemies it would be. Then you’d find a quest swirl or character and press x and it would dump you into a story mission.

But the movement wasn’t as fun as destiny. And I’m guessing trying to cram a fantasy rpg into areas similar to a shooter causes problems with ranged combat, which would also explain the very cramped areas you’re always doing combat in.

Every story mission was also basically a hallway with a bunch of short, dead-end detours containing 1-4 things to pick up that vary between materials, lore, or equipment. It felt like a paint by numbers rpg.

Rook was essentially Master Chief and nothing your team did mattered much except thematically. I watched them beat on weak mobs for a long time without actually killing anything.

I couldn’t always logically connect outcomes to what the game was showing me, either. Like, I lost two team members because I assigned them to do specific jobs (and the game had a pop up pointing out that this was why they died), but the loss seemed completely disconnected from the actual job. It would be like assigning Gale to break a magical ward (because the tooltips and/or dialogue suggests he can do it, and historically he’s a good it), and he does an outstanding job of it, but then some random magic mirror pops up out of nowhere and teleports in a devil to kill him and the game says, “Gale died because you assigned him to break the magical ward.” Like, what does a magic mirror popping up from nowhere have to do with me assigning him to break a ward?

It also had frustrating bugs sometimes. Like moving my camera to the side when I’m trying to attack something. Or deciding to fire an attack at a nearby enemy that I’m not trying to attack. Or wasting my ultimate because it vanished into the ceiling.

I’ve done both. It just depends on how much money I have at the time. Or whether I’m moving often.

Yes but US conservatives don’t seem to know it.

I can’t either. But at some point I stopped punching in dreams and started tearing things in half like they’re made of paper. No gore involved.

Honestly, I don’t want age signals sent at all. As long as I (the parent) can use parental controls to limit app access, that’s all that matters. Give users the option to deny ad personalization and that protects children from ad personalization. Companies don’t need to know anyone’s age. Meta is pushing for more data, but this feels like an underhanded way to take a middle road that gives Google more data (but not as much as Meta wants). We should take the high road and tell them both to butt out.

The site is also set up so users get recommended images to pin to their own boards. What’s not clear is that when that happens, Pinterest seems to assume some sort of shared ownership. So if the original image is removed, anyone that pinned it is suddenly counted as the new owner.

I had pinned images to one of my boards that I used to keep a board of art that I liked, thinking it was like bookmarking. Then I started getting emails saying I had violated copyright because Pinterest couldn’t tell the difference between me pinning something it recommended that I pin and me uploading an image.

I went into my boards and saw that some of the art I had pinned (I uploaded nothing) had changed to look as though I was the original uploader and/or owner.

I deleted everything and quit the site after that.

They’re just trying to scare people enough into having a reaction or admitting fault. Someone could also fail because they are afraid they will fail or they’re afraid they’re a suspect. If the actual leaker thinks they’re doing the right thing andthat the poly can’t catch them, they probably won’t even have a reaction.

93% vs 77% doesn’t strike me as polarized. 16% difference?

77% doesn’t even seem that bad if it’s a style of game I like. From about 2001 I used to see sci fi movies that looked interesting as long as they had at least a 25% Rotten Tomatoes score because my tastes were different.

Is there something I’m missing? I haven’t played either game and I haven’t looked at reviews. Won’t buy KCD (no character creation) and probably will eventually buy Avowed.

Sure sounds like Musk is ordering firings, despite the article I saw today saying it’s up to the cabinet and DOGE only makes recommendations.

Looking forward to the inevitable news story about DOGE frantically trying to rehire contractors to find missing satellites that they didn’t realize were important. I hope they have to give everyone a raise.

(But, seriously, all the best and fuck Elon)

Five accomplishments in the last week being used to justify entire position? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
