Bah don’t be such a hater. The written story so far is so freaking good that even if he never finishes it i’m quite happy to have read it.
It’s been so many years that I can’t imagine picking it back up and continuing to write anyway.
As it should, it’s delicious.
Ah earplugs are cool and that totally counts as ear protection. It’s what I use anyway when I go to the shooting range or ride my ninja 650.
Couldn’t make out that it was an air gun from just the photo.
This is cool but no ear protection is not. Guns make you deaf, just like motorcycles.
The trend of “let’s make a woke cast of characters that are all from different cultural backgrounds!!111” and then completely abandoning good storytelling and worldbuilding is maddening.
I get there have always been garbage stories but most of the failures have all been from replacing a good story with ideology. You can’t just abandon good story with established world logic and expect fans to not be up in arms. For some reason people forget that the only reason why characters become idols is because of the great stories they are in, not because the character looks like xyz (though cool character design does score some points too.)
I don’t really have many videogame examples of this stuff, just movies and tv shows. Games can usually get away with a bad story and good gameplay or perhaps vice versa. Movies and TV have no gameplay (depth) to fall back on.
That’s how politics work. Conservatives do a few awful things then it swings over to the liberal side… then the liberals go a bit too fast and it swings back.
I just can’t believe the US wasted it’s political clout on fucking Biden. Another Obama would have been killer, but instead we have the guy nobody really wants and is only chosen because his opponent is hitler 2.0
I’ll agree with this. GIMP is the most user-unfriendly piece of photo editing software i’ve used to date. I can pick up video games like Shadow Empire and spend dozens of hours figuring out how it works but GIMP is a wall to me.

Captchas have largely been solvable by machines at a rate higher than humans for a long, long time.
It is very easy to train a model to behave like humans do by simply having a sample of human inputs.
Here is an article from august 2023 covering how much better machines are than humans at accomplishing captchas of many flavors. Sauce
Being a worker is degrading.
Being an owner is empowering.
AOL still has 1.5 million active monthly subscribers. People forget to cancel subscriptions all the time.
Subscriptions are a great way to sell a service to someone who isn’t using it, and when they want to cancel it getting the spent money on something never used is generally impossible.
IMO for something like a streaming service… if you don’t stream a minute of video in a month you shouldn’t have to pay anything.
Don’t forget, Russia is invading ukraine because they are antisemitic.
cue white/black arm meme with russia and usa using antisemitism as an excuse to do authoritarian shit.
Delisted in Puerto Rico, part of the US. Amazing.
If the guy wasn’t a dumbass he would have sold the pve edition as a standalone game and avoided all the drama.
Small claims court? Get a refund for all money spent since they took your stuff and ran?
