For some reason he reminded me of this one Bill Murray flick.

CEO as cosmic horror is a concept with legs. This'll spice up my next cyberpunk campaign.

Cylusthevirus,
@Cylusthevirus@kbin.social avatar

The way this CEO operates is absolutely worthy of condemnation and viewing him through the lens of unfeeling cosmic horror is, if anything, a nicer take. But it's fair to say that people operating at that level of wealth have become detached from and profoundly alien to normal folk.

I don't think you're parsing this comic fairly or engaging with its content by labeling it "edgelord violence or insults."

Pretty much ALL of Hbomb's substantive examples from the video are from CTRL-ALT-DEL which is like ... the worst example imaginable. There's screenshots of PA's art, but beyond the one dumb gag about "stake me bro" he never really gets into PA's writing. ODD, THAT. Because if you actually read Jerry Holkin's posts, you'll find a level of writing that puts the lie to the notion that these are idiots making cheap, derivative work. Setting aside the fact that they've been doing this so long that they basically defined the genre.

And as an aside, really Harris, web comic artists as targets? You've done it, you've achieved the epitome of punching down. These and other extremely sane takes from the guy that brought you an almost 2 hour long video on the goddamn Roblox "oof" sound effect.

I love that setting, but those mechanics. Ooof. Way too heavy. I actually meant the genre not the system. In reality I've been running The Sprawl but I'm looking for a narrative forward cyberpunk game that can accommodate urban fantasy.

Lol, one of the two options listed is what I'm using. Need to find something with support for fantasy stuff and if possible, alternative hacking rules. Hamish who wrote it mentioned he wasn't super happy with how it turned out.

China appears to have suspended spy balloon program after February shootdown, US intel believes (www.cnn.com)

China appears to have suspended its surveillance balloon program following a major diplomatic incident earlier this year, when one of the country’s high-altitude spy balloons transited the United States, multiple sources familiar with US intelligence assessments told CNN....

You gotta wonder what they're really getting from that payload. I wonder if it's actually a probe to see which nations have the capability to notice their balloons and will to deal with them.

"I see you've been through enough traumatic experiences that you've developed age inappropriate styles of communication as a defense mechanism" is really what that means.

Unity ...It Just Keeps Get Worse (youtu.be)

To say it’s been a bad week for Unity is the understatement of 2023. First they announced a terrible new Pricing scheme, then their customers revolted, as the week goes on though, it gets worse and worse for Unity, from threats from an employee shutting down their offices, to more studios threatening to leave, to scummy secret...

Woke up on Monday and my Pixel 6 Pro wasnt quite fitting in the case while i was checking news while having coffee on the morning. Pushed it in and it didnt seem to fit right.

I would say go use it if you have a gift card. They already have the money, might as well cost them some product instead of giving them an interest free loan.

I'd suggest having them remake it a bunch if that didn't fuck over some poor barista. Although ... that would be pretty funny for the pro-union stores if they were in on it.

TIL that player behaviors to a software bug that created a pandemic in World of Warcraft had similarities to COVID-19 in the real world (en.wikipedia.org)

… researchers noted the similarities between the game and the real-world pandemics. Both had an immediate impact on dense urban areas, which limited the effectiveness of containment procedures in stopping the spread of disease, while air travel, like fast travel, allowed infections to spread across large parts of the world...

What are the essential criteria of a meme in your view?

Cylusthevirus,
@Cylusthevirus@kbin.social avatar

I've seen this particular tweet like a dozen times now, so it's definitely spread far and wide. Some people only think of image macros as memes, but yes the broader definition I've seen is essentially a viral concept.

That's not it. The instance's entire schtick is "be nice." They have rules about doing things like assuming good faith in people you're talking to until proven otherwise. This makes it a tonally different place. It's heavily moderated. That's it. That's why they're not gonna fuck with Hexbear or Lemmygrad or whatever else because those places are too tonally aggro for what Beehaw is trying to do and be.

You can disagree, you can have crazy opinions there, but you have to voice them politely and certain flavors of bigotry are not welcome. It's actually great for certain kinds of conversations. Pushing people away from writing to dunk on each other forces a different sort of interaction that was sadly missing in much of the Internet.

Every bloody time I see the word "dialectical" or "dialectic" or any of its other forms I get annoyed because I go look up the definition and stare at it for 10 minutes and STILL aren't sure what the fuck it means.

Seriously people LOOK at this hot mess.

Cylusthevirus,
@Cylusthevirus@kbin.social avatar

Yes, I suppose if you ignore every single bit of the last few hundred years worth of context, it would be hard to understand why people might be ok with this, but not necessarily the reverse.

Fortunately that context is available to you, so what I have trouble understanding is why you're not accounting for that. Maybe you could elaborate, or perhaps do some perspective taking on why historically oppressed groups have certain sensitivities that privileged groups do not have. You might even come to realize that treating everyone exactly the same after not doing so for a very long time doesn't come across as terribly fair. Because, you know, it isn't.

It'd probably be a state level entity that offers endorsements to other states. That's how it is for nurses, anyway. In other news, nurses have more legal hoops to jump through than cops. Someone explain that.

Nurses can definitely be stripped of their license, so they have it harder there too!

"The Putin model has much from the classic ultra-right conservative dictatorship," researcher says (russiapost.info)

Andrei Kolesnikov, Senior Fellow, Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, writes about the ideological foundation of the Putin regime, the most important part of which is the destruction of the memory of the Soviet regime’s crimes and the transformation of Stalin into a positive figure.

Yes, clearly the US is a 3rd world country because some states experience occasional issues with their grids. This doesn't happen anywhere else in the "first world." Oh, wait.

If you're smelling shit, he that smelt it dealt it.

Or you could cut the playground crap and argue like a grownup, whatever.

Do you understand the difference between power outages and there being no infrastructure at all in the first place? And, AS I MENTIONED, Texas is in the spot it's in because they refuse to work with the rest of the grid.

The goalposts aren't moving, you just have no idea where they were. I'm guessing due to critical failures in reading comprehension or being paid in rubles.
