The entire point of this is to weed out the people who value their time highly enough to refuse busywork that might, maybe, eventually lead to the possibility of taking their undoubtedly shitty job. It's automatically filtering the applicant pool down to the people who will agree to anything and...

This sounds like some real "you won't always have a calculator when you need to do math" energy.

Admittedly it's been a long time since I read Wheel of Time, but I don't remember that being a key point at all. If anything it seems like being dramatically different, rather than just taller and with a maybe-unusual hair colour, would have made it a lot less impactful when the things that do...

Pegging. Didn't you read the tweet?

Seems like Netflix was right in their assessment that a lot of people who otherwise would have paid were using friends/family accounts instead. Not honestly all that surprising, either - paying for Netflix is a lot easier than pirating, and there are a lot of people who just want the easiest...

On the plus side, it's probably a lot easier to find a copy of that than the new Warhammer novels, given Games Workshops' "we're only going to print 2000 copies of this book and let scalpers have their way" approach to their new releases.

I think it's wild that people still try to engage TommiR on ethics vs capitalistic exploitation when he's made his stance so very, very clear.

What would be the reasonable explanation that would justify trying to kill someone on a motorcycle?

Also between Vancouver and rural anywhere.

It can be worth it to figure out genetic risks and warning signs you should be looking out for. There are definitely breeds that benefit from knowing what to expect and when to see your vet.

That's been their criticism of post-secondary education for a long, long time. Their kids go in safe and conservative and come out tolerant and compassionate, and there's no other possible explanation than grooming! The problem is that it's an effective talking point. People don't want their...

I think the most interesting thing to me about the anti-AI movement is that it must be built on the assumption that we're not all going to destroy ourselves with or without outside help. It's weird.

I've played that one! It's pretty ok - not the best deckbuilder I've played, but fun for a while.

Especially when acknowledging that covid's impacts are likely a fairly sizable factor in why they ended up where they are as far as expectations and skillsets go.

Contrasting opinion: I played an hour or so and it felt exactly the same as every other souls-like I've tried, with the exception of difficulty selection and a star wars glow-up. I might be willing to tolerate the souls trappings to experience the rest of it, but it's not suddenly making me...

Anything that expects you to show even the slightest bit of concern or care for other people = communism, right?

Were they going to the moon?

He did that years ago, sporadic half-assed updates notwithstanding. The part I find interesting is the suggestion that his full time (or "full time," knowing Kurtz) work on the graphic novel means that he can't manage even occasional updates on a webcomic, like there aren't dozens or hundreds of...

If it adds any value for anyone, Rome was consistently recommended by professors in my Classics courses as doing a great job of capturing the look and feel of ancient Rome, even if it takes some historical liberties with its plot.

Tactics Ogre Reborn would've jumped way up this if it had been a month later, though!
